#1: "Sorry but all I can think of whenever I see this necklace is how much it would hurt if you ever moved your neck."
I laughed so hard. I second this. I'm personally more of a scarf/basic tiffany's girl myself.

Really, I see no problem with this. Its not a copy-copy, its just using the idea as a basis. Not like that friggin ugly orangy copy of the Marc (http://fashionista.com/2008/07/adventures_in_copyright_cant_r.php#comments). Now that was a ripoff.

And number 21, Topshop is great. I wish we had one in my tiny corner of the world. Esp. one that carries Kate's line.

She has a really nice figure and this dress is really flattering to that figure. I wish I could pull this off, but unfortunately I kind of go straight down on either side. No curves for me :(

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Agyness' unique outlook as much as the next Jane, but I'm getting kind of bored of her. I personally think its time to usher in a new breed of model. I'm really stoked on like, 90% of what Supreme has right now.

Um, truth?
The Forever 21 dress looks like somebody stole Sailor Mars' costume.
But thats just my opinion.

And the Marc is cute on the hanger, and those who are about 5'11 and less than 1% body fat, but on anyone else it would look horrid.

This might just be a personal thing, but I think that orange is SUCH an ugly color.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Orange is friggin HIDEOUS. IT DOESEN'T LOOK GOOD ON ANYONE. For real. Unless you like to walk around resembling a creamsicle. Which I'm willing to bet you don't.
I actually think that the Prada skirt holds a chance if you, say...changed the color of it and maybe put a slip or something underneath. But I don't really like to walk around with it ALL hanging out.

25. You're right. And I bet that right now Yves is rolling over in his poor early grave.

I was having a discussion about this the other day, and its just not coming to me. Whatever, I'll be back later when I remember with the answer.

Maybe he just talks a million miles a minute like I do. I know that if I didn't type stuff while I'm on the phone I'd forget like, half the stuff I say or think and then I end up reading it later that night. And its not like you can just inturrupt a conversation to be like "just one moment. I had an idea and I have to write it down."

And the recorder doesen't work because
a) tape recorders and digital recorders both run out of space.
and b) both are completely unreliable. You could think you're taping something and then go back and the recording be blank. I've learned this one the hard way.

Anyways, props to him for being brilliant and for being successful and admirable enough to have an intern thats dedicated enough to follow him around, and for supporting the workforce, regardless of if its paid or unpaid. Interning isn't bad. Laurent was an intern, Wintour was an intern.

Chaos is beauty!

Who would pay money for that?
Seriously, sometimes I think designers just make ugly stuff for the idiots who will wear anything with a designer label stamped on it.

I seriously wear flip flops to work like, every day. True, they're not three dollar flip flops from wal-mart, they're twenty seven dollar havaianas from Aritzia, but why not? Plus they look good with straight legged jeans.
I used to wear them alot more, but I've started catching preference towards those sequined slides that you can get in Chinatown for like, five bucks. They're a bit more dressy, and your feet don't get as dirty (but that might be because I live in Calgary, and theres not much here for dirt slash dust)
I'd wear other shoes work-wise, but sitting all day, my feet start to suffocate.
I have flat feet also, so if I wear anything with too much of an arch in it I am in tremendous pain after more than an hour of standing. I learned this the hard way when I decided to wear my Lacoste runners for a jog, and ended up limping home.
I'm not defending flip flops or anything here though, and my flat feet aren't an excuse. Personally, I'm stoked on the old school classic black flats, both pointy (a la Audrey Hepburn) and round toed. They're good to wear in hot weather, and they never go out of style. And If I'm going out and I know I'm going to wreck my shoes I have no problem with going out to like, H+M or whatever and finding a pair that are cheap enough that I don't care if I completely slaughter them.

28. I laughed for eons. I think I need more friends like you.

7/8/20/21/22/whatever else. You're dumb. You don't like it, then get out. You knew what you were getting into when you started reading.

I like the shoes. Especially the colors. Not so keen on the random flesh-colored strap though. Whats that all about?

And I'd buy the shoes for you if I could witness the Bryant Park stint. And maybe you could work for me for a month for free. I couldn't be any worse than Anna.
