the Pleasure Cruiser. a solo act as well, she doesn't let crowds put a damper on or companions distract her from the sheer bliss of seeing, touching, trying, and often purchasing all the pretty things. :)

not so concerned about the whole pockets-in-formal-wear thing. seems rather handy (hehe) actually.
however.
extremely worried about the whole $1800 j.crew dress thing

that is offensive.
what is the deal with fashion's definition of ethnic? i am quite sure that german(myself) is just as much an ethnicity as african, egyptian and cuban. so if it was french- or german-culture inspired, would it be called ethnic? you can bet not.
and its obviously not about traditional cultures vs. modern ones. because we dont call the emaciated tiny-village-in-estonia-hailing refugee models "ethnic." but we do call an american girl named CHANEL ethnic.

SO glad they lowered their prices again. they really started to play the price game with consumers, aka pushing the prices as high as they thought they could without simultaneously improving the quality of the merchandise. a strategy that both makes you and me sad, and also often works if the brand is prestigious enough.
but obviously a wrong choice for the rather, ummm, "accessible" Gap reputation.
