Plum Sykes really knows how to get to the core of "PAPs"- Park Avenue Princesses, rich girl fun and their glamorous lives in her novel, Bergdorf Blondes.
Moi is a fashion writer and "champagne bubble about town." She's young, stylish, and blonde. Moi bounces from charity luncheon to Chanel sample sale to high-profile baby shower and back again with her rich, heiress friend, Julie Bergdorf, who has an affinity for shoplifting from Bergdorf Goodman, her family's store.
Moi, as so many society girls do, seems to find herself in one predicament after another as she struggles to make monumental decisions, such as which couture dress to wear, which function to attend, and how to be the first to show off the latest designer bag.
Happy with her life and that great feeling that a new pair of Chloe jeans provides, Moi suddenly finds herself discontented as she realizes that girls who are engaged possess a superior glow altogether. She begins a search for a "PH"-Potential Husband.
Successful at this as she is at everything, Moi quickly finds a fianc? - Zach Nicholson. Everything with Zach is perfect in the beginning, but it doesn't take long until he's avoiding her calls, avoiding trips to Brazil (Moi's unique way of referring to the sexual activity down under) and not acting at all as a fianc? should. Eventually, Zach breaks their engagement and Moi makes an unsuccessful suicide attempt with a moderate amount of Advil, however glamorously, wearing a Ritz-Paris bathrobe and rhinestone-trimmed Manolo Blahniks.
Not one to remain down for long, Moi soon begins to make the rounds of the social scene again when she takes a trip to France, meets an "HRH"-His Royal Highness, and is back on the dating scene. Will Moi secure her "PH" this time? Or will the "HRH" turn out to be just another flaky "ATM"-boyfriend?
