The ONLY beach read you should be seen with this summer: The Knockoff is a juicier version of The Devil Wears Prada meets Silicon Valley. Trust us--you won't be able to put it down." LIZ MATTHEWS, TOWN & COUNTRY
I am lucky, I somewhat know Lucy Sykes (beautiful twin of Plum, you know, the one who wrote Bergdrof Blondes, then the Debutante Divorcee? and if not, she is a contributing editor at Vogue)....
Plum Sykes. Perfection in this photo. |
First Edition of Bergdorf Blondes (2004) |
See the lovely Plum? In Vogue? Channeling Carrie Bradshaw, and Audrey Hepburn...pre-Kate Middleton (and Plum is British, by the way).
Well...here are MY COPIES of The Knockoff....scattered throughout.

Lucy wrote a witty, lovely book about technology, fashion, and life in today's changing times. BUT it isn't a "serious" book meaning, it won't take you a month to read. It is a fun book, you are invested in the characters. And most of us, being part of this world to an extent, relate. Lucy, she did a fantastic job, and now that the book is in paperback, it is MUCH more realistic to take to the beach as T&C magazine suggested.

Bergdorf Blondes is a blassic for 2000s. I read The Knockoff (a friend's copy) but will now buy the less expensive paperback. Thnks.
