    Dodai, I'm with you on the glitter shoes. I NEED A PAIR, LIKE NOW. Though, I'd prefer them to be flats.

    Oh hai, money-sucking bastard catalog! (This same one is sitting on my coffee table at home right now. Even two miles away, I can hear it laughing at me and whispering my name.) Anyway, Dodai- WHY NO MENTION OF THE SHOE-OF-THE-MONTH CLUB????? I saw that and my head cracked open with explosive and unbridled lust. Oh and the sneakers-the canvas Jack Purcells? I bought them in white about a month ago. I adore them, and for $65, I am a happy customer.

    Does anyone else have issues with J.Crew's sizing? In their XS-S-M-etc shirts, I wear an XS, and even then, the shoulders don't fit right (too widely-spaced). But in 2-4-6-8 clothes, a 6 fits everywhere but the shoulders (too small). Does that mean that if you wear a 2, you're outta luck when it comes to XS-S stuff? The sizing problems I have are so disparate that I can't order anything from them, it must be tried on in at least 3 sizes. I also have a pair of wool flannel dress pants I got last year that have pilled like a motherfucker in the upper thigh area where my thighs touch. The wool flannel pants I got from J.Crew in 1997 did not do this. I am disappointed, J.Crew.

    @Dictator for Life: Yes, their sizing is whack! (especially on the small end). I have serious issues and can't quite figure out whose body they're trying to fit. Their pants make me look like twice my age and twice my girth.

    @Dictator for Life: I hear you! Iwear M in T-shirts, L in cardigans, and I have yet to have a cami fit properly. The bottom hems on a lot of the stuff is too snug for someone with hips, although they don't seem to hate boobs too much. Pants vary widely.

    Also, the quality of the knits and cashmere has gone waaaaay down in recent years. Sweaters are pill city within 5 minutes of wearing now! Their older stuff was much more durable. I've complained to their customer service - maybe if they get an avalanche of complaints they'll do something about it... ?? One can hope.

    I think I totally want to go shopping with Dodai, because not only does she have awesome taste in pajamas (cupcakes are awesome, but I have the ultimate in frumpy, poulterwang inducing pajama pants which are red and green and covered in little frogs and were hand made by my dad's second wife's mother and I love them because they're comfy) but we apparently look good in completely opposite colors (me in jewel tones and her in pastels) and so we wouldn't have to compete for the cute stuff.

    Everything I own is from this store. It's kind of a problem. (Seriously a problem, like they sent me a present. I hadn't ordered anything in a while, and they sent me a pair of earrings with a note that said, "We think you might like these earrings." This is problematic because I think I spend too much money there, and also because I did not like the earrings.)

    The moral of this story is: this post is dangerous for me. Temptation, thy name is Metallic Parlour Hobo.

    @yvanehtnioj: I can relate. Yesterday, I estimated that 85% of my wardrobe is J. Crew. However, I realized it's probably because their clothes last longer than any other brand I know.

    Also, YOU GOT FREE EARRINGS?!? I invest a ton of money into that store and I'll I've ever gotten were some "Thank you for your loyalty to the J.Crew brand. You are an extremely respected customer" messages. Then again, I made friends with a sales associate and she chooses things she thinks would look good on me and she's even let me use her employee discount a few times.

    Nonetheless, I concur. STOP TEMPTING ME!

    @JessickerFletcher: have ever been to Chile? They say "güeon" like there's no tomorrow and men's voices are high sounding.

    Other favourite phrases:
    "al tiro!"
    "Ya Po"

    @Ailatan: No but I was best friends with the Chilean exchange student at my school last year (and I might visit this summer!) and she taught me all of the those. BTW, ya po is definitely my favorite. I've been to Argentina and they use it there in almost every context. Plus, it's just plain fun to say.

    @Ailatan: Exciting! I'm so jealous; I loved it there. But I'm kind of confused. I was in Buenos Aires (on vacation) and I remember it being used countless times. Perhaps I was with Chileans but then again, I think it'd be pretty hard to confuse a Chilean accent with an Argentinian one (you're so right about the high pitched male accents).

    P.S. How long have you been there for? Is it for work or study? I'm insanely jealous (if only for the fact that I have much more to learn).
