"A section devoted to nautical garments went about 20,000 leagues too far. A navy blue terrycloth tunic with white anchors all over it, and cotton rope laced through brass grommets would have looked over-the-top on one of the society matrons in "Caddyshack."...Tory Burch clothing inhabits a privileged, prim, wifey and deodorized look that culturally symbolizes a state of voluntary submission to the males of her tribe." --Cintra Wilson in The New York Times, on shopping at the CFDA winner's Elizabeth St. store.

I'd say Juicy Couture for 40-50+ year olds. Juicy Couture is Juicy Couture for teens-40somethings..

Her stuff reminds me of a slightly more grown up Lily Pulitzer.

I love how everyone hates Tory Burch, but hey, it's true, it's abercrombie for the rich.

that juicy comment is so right! I've never thought of it that way before, but of course, it's true! Think of how often you see a young girl at the beach in a juicy terry smock and the mother in a tory tunic...

Yeah, secretly I love Tory even though she makes me feel like a WASP.
