Entry: Would You Wear Printed Rain Boots?

Printed or not, I could've totally used a pair on a day like this. I keep forgetting to buy one. I saw one called "Hunter" on piperlime.com. It even carried size 5 but the size was sold out on navy and only available in bright pink and yellow... At $98 it seems rather pricey too? Any brand to recommend?

I read Marimekko + H&M is coming this summer. Manolo Blahnik is also collaborating with Marimekko. Bold, vivid floral is going to be big this year?

That's one torturous looking piece. I'm such a cupcake when it comes to pediatric discomfort. I get tired just by looking at it. Not attractive either.

This is inspiring! I'd like to try Blythe doll version. But... what happens if you wash it?

Didn't Fashionista do DIY on this with ice cream cone pieces? That was cute... I don't covet the original. What is it made out of to be worth a trip to Tahiti?

The name of the horse the founders betted on while vacationing in Portugal...

Oh, I would watch the Sweet P show. She was one of my favorites, other than Christian. I didn't know Sweet P and Kit were BFFs! Are they really starting a line together?!

F21 looks like junk. Even the expensive one, I don't like it at all. A bag without shoulder strap never works for me. I need two free hands.

At least they made it in a different color and thus came short of directly copying the original. Isn't this the creative spin you praised about TopShop a couple of posts down?

I don't understand why they're copying this smiley from one another. It's not even cute.

While none of them is appealing to me, I actually like the H81 color combination better. Adverntures in copyrights sent me to F21 website many times to buy a bunch of t-shirts and skirts. I love them!

Thank you for the notice. It was fun! I bought four dresses for about $200. It was very crowded and crazy but the girls were very sweet and helpful.

I'm also happy the guy went home. He's so unlikeable. His design was so creepy as well.

Last time I bought Hardy Candy was 2003. Now I'm getting all nostalgic! I just bought a bunch of stuff. Thank you for the tip! I've never known.

I went Saturday. Didn't buy a single item. I agree with mfcotter about the bags, red and turquoise in color. The clothes... maybe because not my style but disappointing.

Did anyone go? I did on Saturday. Another disappointment. The merchandize, organized by size at least, was sparse. The dresses were about $700 and there was $100 'bargain bin'. Price aside, the stuff wasn't attractive. I'm looking forward to Charolotte Ronson sample sale. Please look out for that one!

I went this afternoon. To my disappointment there was no cashmere. The setting wasn't shopper-friendly either. The sales people were tending the tables of neatly wrapped cotton t-shirts. The racks are behind them just for the show. So you can't come close and touch the clothes, except for some jackets displayed in the other room. They seem too scared of the inevitable messiness of a sample sale.

Well said #49. Actually those two don't even deserve a fake purse.
