Great books never go out of style, and the New York Times recently re-recommended this classic bestseller, an illustrated gem, "Ilene Beckerman's heavy-hitting mini-memoir of a stylish life.”

Beckerman’s runaway bestseller —adapted into an Off-Broadway hit by Nora and Delia Ephron — articulates something all women know: that our memories are often tied to our favorite clothes. From her Brownie uniform to her Pucci knockoff to her black strapless Rita Hayworth-style dress from the Neiman Marcus outlet store, Beckerman tells us the story of her life.

“Illuminates the experience of an entire generation of women . . . This small gem of a book is worthy of a Tiffany box.” —The New York Times Book Review

“A memoir every reader will wish to copy in her own size.” —Glamour

“Ilene Beckerman’s sleek little memoir . . . strikes a startling chord. . . . Unsettling and oddly powerful.” —People

“Surprisingly poetic.” —Entertainment Weekly

“[A] poignant biography. . . . This little book will charm anyone with an interest in style.” —USA Today
