I'll Drink to That: A Life in Style, with a Twist (2014) by Betty Halbreich is a memoir by the personal shopper at the New York department store Bergdorf Goodman. Halbreich describes growing up in Chicago, her marriage and its collapse, and how she found her calling in middle age. Over nearly four decades of dressing clients, she learned about clothing, confidence and the women who confided in her in the fitting room, and she writes with candor and humor about style and resilience.

- Meghan Markle: “Halbreich's memoir is deeply thoughtful and personal. It's not just a story about the behind-the-scenes shopping at Bergdorf's (although, there is some of that, which makes for some great laugh-out-loud moments), but it's a book that covers serious topics from marriage to death and all the little slivers in between.”
