    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.

    Lots of Scottish national symbols are pretty manufactured (I say that as a half Scot). #aliciakeys

    Tom Ford and my former best-friend in college are apparently two petits pois in a pod.

    She too was a raging francofile before she embarked on a junior-year study-abroad adventure in France. But her experience in the olde country traumatized her to no end. She loathed how narrow the roads were, how cramped the apartments were, she hated that French people smoked everywhere, she hated how university courses were held in huge halls with amphitheater seating, she hated, hated, hated everything with incandescent fury. One of her major peeves, as I recall, was that people wouldn't obsessively brush their teeth after a meal. I believe she had a nervous breakdown once when she went on a dinner date with a French boy who ate garickly snails, smoked a cigarette and then attempted to kiss her.

    A bit of-thread, I guess, but maybe somewhat educational to francofiles who expect La Patrie to be this endless field of lavender blossoms where attractive people bounce around and frolic with unicorns. #aliciakeys

    @BlondeGoddess: I was merely recounting a tale of An American in Paris, as it was passed down to me. In my personal experience on the terrain, many of these things are true, but not bothersome. Au contraire, they're charming to me and just part of what makes France France and the French French. Though I'm European-born to begin with and would never imagine that living in France resembles a chapter from "A Movable Feast."

    I guess I was trying to illustrate by way of anecdote that many Americans often have this fantasy mental landscape of France beforehand, and then get disillusioned when the reality doesn't match it. I obviously failed.

    Tom Ford shaving off his eyebrows in a mescaline-induced fit is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. It's heartening to know that even fashion icons can succumb to hallucinogen and their magical power of persuasion. Now excuse me while I go back to laughing uncontrollably at that image. #gettypic
