Welcome to the glamorous world of Park Avenue princesses who careen through New York in search of the ever-elusive fiance and the perfect fake tan.

A lot of people would think, “ this book is stupid. It’s nonsense!Plain fluff stuff”. But hello? BB is a funny light read. It’s supposed to make you laugh. Not think. The Bergdorf Blondes are not meant to be taken seriously, as lets face it, in most ways, they are quite silly, but this is hilarious, & I think this is the intention of the author. I found it hilarious and playful. Reading this is like an inside look of the life of the rich and famous. If you loved sex and the city, then this one’s for you. It’s full of fashion and haute couture stuff. (the author, Plum Sykes, is a contributing editor of Vogue.) BB is a happy book. But it’s not really meaningful and deep but it is cute.


Bergdorf Blondes is an accurate and terribly funny social satire on the lives of the young, vapid, and fabulously wealthy. It's a timely and laugh-out-loud look at today's heiresses and the like whom we regularly see photographed in tabloid and style magazines.
This book is sort of mature. Not for kids under 13 or those who are close-minded. It’ll bring out your feminine side and tickle your funny bone. Also, it’s not for the clueless. Get what I mean? I give 3 and ½ stars for Bergdorf Blondes.Image hosting by Photobucket
