Book Review: I’ll Drink To That

One of our Wildcatter favorites: a fun book about a larger than life personality.

I’ll Drink to That: A Life in Style, With a Twist By Betty Halbreich

“We dressed, that’s what’s different. You went to El Morocco on Saturday night and tipped the head waiter heavily to get a table. You didn’t think about going out not dressed.”

Eighty-six year old Betty Halbreich tells the story of her life and how she became the legendary personal shopper at the luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. She tells her illustrious story of a life destined to dress society, from the famous to the ordinary, enriching their lives with advice from clothes to life. Told with her quippy sense of no-nonsense style, she weaves her tale in the world of fashion as classy as her wardrobe.

“If you aren’t enjoying your clothes then you really are missing the point.”
