Sorry, now quite women's stuff hey, still grinds my gears.emaaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07888750140782351386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837308773221082870.post-35545515284269127332008-07-27T10:23:00.000-04:002008-07-27T10:23:00.000-04:00Ha - it's official: Those ginormous fake (and real) Chanel HERE'S-MY-LOGO-IN-YOUR-FACE bags are on the short list!<BR/><BR/>And Robert's right. If you have that kind of money, why not get something equally gorgeous and tastefully understated, like <A HREF="http://www.mulberry.com/#/storefront/c100/2604/category/" REL="nofollow">Mulberry's "Milton" large hobo bag</A>?

Your commentary on the mini pleats batwing dress sent me into stitches. <BR/><BR/>In addition to the trends you reported on, I'd include banded-bottom dresses to this list. I just graduated from High School, and unfortunately, I was graced by the presence of a lot of poorly fitted terrycloth banded dresses (which were accompanied by orange tans as well). While not all of these dresses are terrible, by and large, most look cheap and tawdry. On top of this, they make your legs look fat! I swear, just because something has a juicy couture logo doesn't mean it's tasteful...<BR/><BR/>Another look that I'd like to see banished would be those 'Chanel' bags on the arms of prepubescent girls. It's so overt and irritating.It's like they're trying to convey that they can buy style or class.Likewise, the bags are almost always fake, and if they're real, these girls throw TEXT BOOKS AND FOOD in them. It kills me. In my public high school, a girl with a real one threw a 10 pound art history book in her bag, which ripped some of the lining. I witnessed this, and thought I would cry. <BR/><BR/>Anyways, you have a really great blog! I live in the D.C. area, so I think it's fantastic to see someone so passionate about vintage clothing. You've totally won a place on my bookmarks toolbar.

[tho i kno tht sooo wouldnt fly for the summer... but perhaps a nod to it in the fall...]Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02038019318819993147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837308773221082870.post-30244115882019465002008-07-26T08:58:00.000-04:002008-07-26T08:58:00.000-04:00Hoorah for decorum!

I never found SATC fashion to be, well, fashionable. The early 2k years were horrible,clothing-wise! Can we pleaseeeeeeeee get back to a little decorum?

I don't like all of the low-riding jeans either. Do folks never look at their backside in a mirror ?? They should.<BR/>I don't quite agree with your quest to banish flip-flops and Crocs.........Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
