Synopsis

Emily Pointer would rather jog naked through Harvey Nichols' beauty hall than be seen with last season's handbag. And she doesn't have to - her impeccably tasteful husband always buys her the perfect one for her birthday. Yes, Emily has the full package. She's a fashion stylist on a London magazine, a perfect size 10, she travels the world for work and she's married to a Hugh Grant lookalike with a fine line in low-fat brunch dishes. Plus she gets 30% discount at Prada. So why does she risk it all for random nights of wild sex with a struggling Australian photographer during the fashion show seasons twice a year in New York, London, Milan and Paris?

Set in a glossy world the author knows well and peopled with a mixture of the fashion famous and the fictional, Handbags & Gladrags is a love story and a journey of self discovery for a woman who was kidding herself that a Birkin bag was all she needed to achieve fulfilment.

Reviewer: Rachel Tan

A perfect chick lit novel, chockful of humour for any occasion. I completed my copy within 2 days. The fashion industry was stripped and dished out with funny (name dropping) episodes peppered throughout. If only it wasn't a tad too long. But overall, one word can begin to describe the experience- bliss.
