Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I love this book so much the Public Library told me to purchase my own copy - I check it out at least once a month! I am from NYC and this book is soooooo NYC. I feel like I know Betty and Bergorf Goodman dept store. Great, excellent, terrific advice on closets, storage and clothing care. Also how to mix all your black clothes with other items instead of wearing fashion-editor uniform. I am going to buy 3 copies today!!!

Summary: A great read
Review: I loved this book. It reminded me of shopping as a young girl when there were women in all the grand old department stores who knew about clothes and would pass their knowledge on. So much of this has been lost in our self-service world. With this book, Betty Halbreich offers her expertise not only to the well-heeled patrons of Bergdorf-Goodman, but to the rest of us. And her take on the whole "fashion thing" is so light-hearted. After reading Secrets of a Fashion Therapist, I am savvier at shopping -- and I have more fun doing it.

Summary: If the author were not so self absorded and pretencious....
Review: I would have given this book four stars. Every few pages there is a giant side note from celebraties praising the author... and most of them time, it has little related to fashion. It was hard to ignore this since it occured so often. Annoying, to say the least. I was, however, quite please with the rest of the book, despite her stale sense of humor. She did give some good fashion advice, that's undeniable.

Summary: Can't afford a personal shopper?
Review: This book is the next best thing. It forces you to think about your personal style, body type and lifestyle and create a wardrobe that works with it. I think it is a must read for those who don't just put on clothes but really dress themselves (truly, there is a difference!).Additionally, I think that any company that has business casual dress code or casual friday should make "The Dressing Down Dilemma" chapter standard reading or add it to their employee manual (have you seen some of the things people try to pass off as "business casual" lately?). She very clearly defines what is acceptable and what is faux pas with simple guidelines and suggestions.
