Life's Accessories: A Memoir (and Fashion Guide) (Unabridged‪)‬

Rachel Levy Lesser can relive almost every significant life event through an accessory. A scarf, a pair of earrings, a bag, even a fleece pair of socks - each contains the elements that put together the story of a life. 

Life’s Accessories is a funny, sad, touching, relatable, shake-your-head-right-along-as-you-laugh-and-wipe-away-tears coming-of-age memoir. In 14 essays, Lesser tackles sensitive issues like anxiety, illness, and loss in a way that feels a bit like having a chat with a good friend. Out of the stories comes solid life - and fashion - advice. About far more than just a hair tie, a bracelet, or a belt, Life’s Accessories is a window into the many ways in which Lesser has come to understand life - in all of its beauty, its joys, its sorrows, its heartaches, its challenges, and its absurdity.
