Glad to hear that Allegra is studying at Brown.
It's interesting that Missoni, also family ran is doing great. #versace

The Versace fall has been a long time coming, but it's been really interesting, for me, to watch which retailers and apparel lines have failed and flourished during the past few years, and why.

When I read this the first thing I thought of was Mango, that weird SNL monkey character Chris Kattan used to play.
I would actually be very interested in seeing that clothing line. #ragtrade

Oooh right! Okay than I would like a collaborative clothing line from the two. Simian/Stripper wear! #versace

I think the sort of ladies who wear hats would know what to do with them, and are too elegant to be wadding up coats anyway. #versace

Which is just a long-winded way of saying that I too am into hats, and the more structured designs and high-quality fabrics and accessories of yore. #versace

I do have a few pieces that I've worn for over five years, but they're all from, like, Gap and H&M and JC Penney. I do a lot of my own minor repairs and alterations by hand. Seams blow out, cuffs get beat-up, buttons fall off, clasps and fasteners go missing in the wash--I feel like it's a better idea to take care of the stuff I have, than to freak out because my wardrobe isn't luxurious enough.

Unsurprisingly, I am no longer the same size that I was when I was 17. I suspect it was wishful thinking on her part.

When I first started regularly carrying a daytime purse, I bought a series of black ones at H&M and Marshalls for $40 or less. Within a few months, they'd fall apart and I'd have to buy a new one.
I ended up buying a black Kate Spade bag at a sample sale for $100 and its held up for 5 years. Even if I'd paid full price for it, it was cheaper in the long run.
Disposable fashion often ends up costing you more in the long run than a slightly high end brand.
