Praise for TARGET UNDERWEAR AND A VERA WANG GOWN
“One of the 50 Hot Books for Summer.”
Entertainment Weekly
“Hot books for the summer”
Good Morning America and Wall Street Journal Weekend
“Reading Adena’s story made me want to throw open the doors of my closet and hear the stories my own clothes have to tell—from my first Galliano gown, to a pair of Earth shoes that I wore in eighth grade with a pair of Calvin Klein jeans. This book reassures the girl in each of us that she’s not alone in her search for the perfect outfit and the confidence that, we hope and pray, comes along with it.”
Cindy Crawford
"For years, I’ve been looking for someone to write about shopping in a funny, smart, modern way. And I’ve found her... a girl after our own high-heeled hearts."
LESLEY JANE SEYMOUR, EDITOR IN CHIEF, MARIE CLAIRE
“You’ll fall in love with Adena, her mother, her family, and her friends. I did. Though she can’t control her life or love life (who can?), she can control her closet and her spirit shines through that closet. ”
Ilene Beckerman, author of Love, Loss and What I Wore and Makeovers at the Beauty Counter of Happiness
"Her heartbreaking, hilarious, and sometimes humiliating tales will have you reaching in your closet for your worn Z. Cavariccis and puffy-sleeved prom dress to revel in your own fabric nostalgia."
Marie Claire
“… she has serious wit up her sleeve…”
Publishers Weekly
“… (a) sassy, heartfelt memoir.”
Life Magazine
“Rather than a rundown of endless outfit changes, hers is a fun account of just how far one woman will go for the perfect pair of underwear.”
Gothamist
"I find Adena Halpern to be talented, gorgeous, deliciously witty, and did I say talented?"
Main Line Times
“… often hilarious and always poignant.”
Pittsburgh Post Gazette
“… guaranteed to amuse even non-fashionistas.”
Rocky Mountain News
“Halpern's writing is smart and snappy and keeps you turning the pages. It's everything a summer book should be.”
The Vancouver Sun
“… talks as lovingly about her father's pizza-stained sweatshirt as about haute couture.”
