I figured I would start with the shoes. I have a friend at Plaza Too and she let me know they are having their “Wear it Now Sale”. They have designer shoes and accessories at about 30% off from fall 06 season. For more info on that click here. While I won’t get her employee discount (grrrr), I figure I’ll get a certain percentage off as my budget at the end of the year is light. So I am torn between these two choices (both from Cynthia Rowley) same style different color. See below:

Ever wonder why the Style.com and Elle sites look eerily similar? It’s like going to a party with the same red strapless dress on but different shoes. (see below)

Ever wonder why fashion takes an old idea from the street, slaps a heavy price tag on it, and then calls it the next big thing? (see the Canal street bag imitation below)

They were knocking off Louis Vuitton for a while, turnabout’s fairplay methinks.

Ever wonder why Hint’s photo features are so effing good? (see below and click through dammit)
