  what i'm reading... i completed bergdorf blondes , if you're in the mood for a fun fashion chick lit with a plot twist ending, this easy read is perfect for you. feels super relevant especially with the cbk resurgence, and the 2000s nostalgia hits the spot. there's definitely lots of shallowness, like a gossip girl in her mid-twenties, and your healthy (?) dose of spoiled brat. next read is a november 2023 harper's bazaar  found almost forgotten in my pile of magazines, and i'm going through the vogue france fall/winter 25-26 collections . tune in next couple weeks for some inspo i gathered from these magazines. saturday was spent in the company of betsey johnson , as i binge-read her memoir. maybe i read it so fast because i relate to her eccentric style? maybe it's because she loved all the wild sides of life but stayed true to her 'good girl self'. in the memoir, she speaks about how she struggled in the 70s to be taken serious in the industry as sh...
