News Roundup
Two recent articles of note:
Spending not in fashion right now
Since mid-July, new fall fashions like shrunken brown velvet jackets and Victorian-style blouses have been gathering dust on racks at the nation's retailers.It's almost the end of September, and for many merchants a combination of hot weather, subdued fashions in dark colors, high gasoline prices, and the ripple effects of Hurricane Katrina have made shoppers stay away from clothing stores.
You know what this means...BIG sales are on their way! I'll be keeping an eye out in the next couple of months.
Son of Cool
Has anyone seen this tote bag mentioned in this NYT article about Esprit?
A large tote bag in subtle metallic gunmetal is $29 and looks as if it might cost $400.
Sounds like it might be worth checking out.

Couldn't get to the NYT article, but I think this must be the bag: http://www.espritshop.com/Shop/HtmlProductFrameSetNewSale/us/34811.html
$400? Don't know about that...

This is very promising - the downturn in the economy will soon become my gain. I can't wait until the wicked sales begin. I will be watching.
I'm not surprised that the new fashions are selling so quick - with all the fur, python, and crocodile, the designs are just too extravagant, and the economy can't support it.
