    I wonder if the key is in the crystals?

    I read the Louis Vuitton tree thingy as "money trees," which made me wonder about the origin and availability of said trees.

    It is bad how much I would like to own Yves and Pierre's omlette pan. I bet it's beautifully seasoned.

    Gap, can we have a talk?

    Just...stop, okay? Just stop with the gimmicks. It won't help. You were basically all I wore back in high school. The stuff was vaguely cute and inoffensive. For my boring self, it was just fine. Not too far overpriced, decent quality, and simple: that was your thing.

    The fugly crap you've had in your stores for at least the last 5 years is what is killing you! Not a lack of ceiling mannequins!

    @CynicalPink: If you haven't been back there in the last couple of months, it might surprise you. I was dubious when Patrick Robinson said he was going to completely re-do the collection, back to the drawing board style for fit, fabric, washes, finishes, thread, etc, since normally those "we worked FOUR YEARS on this collection" claims are so much hyperbolic bullshit. (Also, like Sadie, I try to avoid fast fashion.) But in August I bought a pair of their trousers -- mustard coloured, unlike anything else in my closet -- and they've become my favorite pants. They're flattering, really comfortable, don't need special treatment in the wash, and they have realistically sized pockets. (Also the Vena Cava collab dress I have always gets compliments.) Whaddayaknow, I kinda dig the new Gap.

    @Jenna: Mustard trousers do sound awesome, but my biggest problem has been fit and price. Even when I do find something I like at the Gap, it's never worth the price. My second most common thought walking around that store is "That's cute, but it's not $60 cute." But again, it comes down to awkward fit for me. Even the cardigan I bought over the summer is boxy and awkward. None of my friends look good in it either.

    @CynicalPink: Are you small? I was in Gap this summer with a size 8 friend and she was snatching up cute tops in size XS/2. I haven't tried their pants, but as a petite person it seems their dresses and shirts are not going to work. At least, nothing besides their basic t-shirts (still prefer J.Crew's cut for those.)

    @LaFemme: I'm a short "hourglass"...and by "hourglass" I mean "reasonable top half notwithstanding the chubby arms, and an ass and pair of thighs that confound the makers of jeans."

    Gap jeans are a disaster on me in every sense of the word (regulars are too long, ankles are too short, not enough room in the thighs, inches of room at the waist), and on the off chance I find a shirt I can get in to, it's always too expensive for what it is.

    I know at some point the judgment comes down to a matter of style and tastes, which is hard to make a blanket statement about. But even my friends who are all over the Gap aesthetic have trouble with fit and quality in the long term.

    "It starts at $78"
    So expect to pay $80 for a t-shirt.

    i would LOVE if betsey johnson did a line for people with normal clothing budgets! i do think she will have to be careful, though, that it doesn't wind up looking like something out of a lisa frank binder. love what she does, but it works because it's quality.

    @amoeba formerly hippichx: I would wear clothes that looked like something out of a Lisa Frank binder EVERY DAY if I had them. I actually have a Lisa Frank binder that I still use all the time, from the 90's. With unicorns. It's awesome.

    @HannahBethD: I think Clinique could easily be considered a luxury brand, in that it's not a drugstore brand and you need to go to a department store or Sephora to pick it up (and it's much more expensive, by comparison).

    @hortense: But fashion? I guess makeup could be considered in that cluster, but a distinction is usually made between clothing and accessories and cosmetics.

    And yeah, I could see it being technically considered a luxury brand, but that's some crazy hair splitting!

    @PinkSoxHat: It's actually kind of cool looking, though I think the technique would work better on something like a sheath dress - the sleeves on the shirt look a bit puffy.
