In The Right Address, Carrie Karasyov and Jill Kargman seared through the upper crust of New York's glitterati with wicked glee. In their delicious new novel, Wolves in Chic Clothing, they train their merciless spotlight on the young princes and princesses poised to inherit Park Avenue. Julia, a hip, downtown salesgirl at Pelham's jewelry store, finds her social life turned on its head when she is asked to deliver a necklace to the store's young heiress, Lell Pelham, on Lell's wedding day. Beguiled by Julia's earnest cluelessness and her vintage-chic vibe, Lell and her gang adopt Julia, and "Eliza Doolittle" her into passing as the heiress to a family fortune, just for a laugh. Dazed by the whirlwind of trust funds, pedigrees, Cosmopolitans, and penthouses in her new world, Julia is unprepared for the ardent advances of Lell's husband--or the vicious claws her new "friends" develop when they decide Julia is an ingrate, and demote her from society goddess to penniless cling-on with one well-timed editorial. Suddenly, she must return the borrowed couture clothes and try to remember who she was before the body snatching took place. Hilarious and completely addictive, Wolves in Chic Clothing is a modern-day rags-to-riches-and-back-again fairy tale that will leave fans stamping their Manolo Blahniks for more.… (meer)

Fairly simple plots and characters. Comparisons with The Devil Wears Prada could be easily found. A young woman from the mid-west is trying to follow her dreams in jewelry design and is working for a famous jewelry store. She falls into a cushy job with one of the senior execs and is off on a whirlwind of New York glitterati. But all is not as it seems as easily as these people can take her into their high style life they can just as easily shun her. ( )

Filled with every chic-lit cliche! Main character: Wholesome girl who doesn't realize how drop-dead gorgeous she is moves to the Big City; quickly gets 'noticed' by her boss, gets a huge unrealistic promotion which allows her to design jewellery, her dream career; she has upstanding morals about relationships yet loves the 'wild' married guy and doesn't notice the great 'good' single guy (rich and good-hearted) standing right in front of her (who is also a cliche); both are caught up with a superficial, materialistic rich crowd but don't really belong; both do 'real' volunteer/charity work, not just the benefit galas like their rich friends.
Actually, it's not much different from that movie with Jennifer Aniston, Jay Mohr and Kevin Bacon.
Predictable climax and ending fit right in there with all the other cliches.
Not worth the time of a discernable reader. ( )

This book wasn't too bad but it was very predictable. It was a quick read to change the pace of what I usually read so if you want to read about some cold hearted bitches then pick it up. ( )

Flat characters, unappealing plot. Skip it. ( )
