I thought about it.
I thought about what it could have been.
I thought about what they might have been trying to do.
But all I got was new age music, lava lamps and cheap incense.
Blech.

could fashionista *please* consider including attributions for photographers and stylists in these postings?? it just seems wrong (and frustrating) to be admiring these spreads without proper credit to where credit is due...it's usually too difficult to discern from the original text. thanks!

Okay so I just wanted to say that I saw your post on the Moscot, limited edition glasses and my order just came in today. I, however, was deeply chagrined to learn that they fit like regular eyeglasses -- not so cute eyeglasses, even at that. They are not oversized, as your post suggested, nor do they resemble RayBan Wayfarerers the least bit in real life.
With that said, I would like to add that you guys and gals at Fashionista should really provide more detail and concern when publishing posts such as these. It provides a false consumer image to your readers and, in the end, results in ultimate disappointment.
Now I have to pay for the shipping of the glasses back to said store in new York (I live in Los Angeles, mind you; attend NYU during the school year). It's just been a complete and utter waste of my time. My expectations were not met. I've wasted money reading the likes of you.
Furthermore, I know this post will not be approved because I know this blog has issues with the content of their readers' comments (but it needed to be said anyway). Any upsetting comments a reader attempts to post, you reject.
How would you feel if the content on this blog were unrightfully censored?

guest @ 12:55: I'm sorry you don't like your glasses. Unfortunately, this is a website on which we, the writers, voice our personal opinions, and we think they're cute.
Also, if you go back to the original story, http://fashionista.com/2008/06/pay_attention_mass_market_bran.php, I never indicate the size or fit of the frames, nor do I compare them to rayban wayfarers.
One of the perils of online shopping is that items often look different in person. If that's too much of a risk for you then may I suggest only shopping in actual stores and not listening to our recommendations?

guest @ 12:55: Fashionista NEVER said they were oversized OR similar to wayfarers.
maybe you need to put a real prescription in those lenses!

you should just sell them on ebay. you might probably turn a slight profit too, since they're limited edition.
and get over it. that's just how shopping online goes.

hey guest @3:08 - we always name the source of the posts in the tags, in red lettering just under the actual post. we got this editorial from summer winter, which only comes out twice a year. the photographer is also listed in the title page of the shoot (which we always also include, usually first after the jump), though i understand that it can be hard to make out sometimes, so here: his name is justin smith.

Dear Guest at
Jun 19, 2008 12:55PM,
Actually, this blog is censored in China. I was there two months ago visiting my step-parents and to my dismay, my normal fix of style was banned.
Better luck next time with the glasses though!
