Commes de Garcons designs for H&M. Just... wow.

!!!!!!

damn...I wonder if they'll even be available here.

What a coincidence--I just sold a copy of Erotomania at the bookstore last night (I recognized that cover).

In local real estate news, boy, are prices dropping like a rock around here! I just did another search for 2+BR townhouses for under $175K, and not only found a few more than two weeks ago, but a few of the units that were in my initial search have dropped from $150-160K to the $125K range. Short sale pressures will do that, I guess.

damn...I wonder if they'll even be available here.

I think they'll be selling these online, too, which is a first. However, you're going to get a lot of people snapping them up and then re-selling them on eBay for triple the price (happened with Cavalli - I think within an hour of the collection going live).

If Jilli needs, I'll probably be making a run down to our H&M on the day - I could pick up something for you, too. I fear no crazed fashionista.

Uh. Huh. I do NOT get fashion.

For instance, I have never seen a woman wear pants like this: [link] except back in high school when we flipped our sweatshirts upsidedown and wore them as leggings under our uniform skirts to piss off the nuns.

But -- those pants! They're not flattering. What am I not getting?

Try not to let the hair and make-up distract you. Or the saggy-knee jodhpurs. That said, I think the only two pieces I really like are the pea coat and the dress, but they are both lovely.

Those are what I like - the rest is too conceptual for me. (And I don't even know that I'd wear the dress, but I'd rock the coat.)

I think I also like the black zippered jacket but would need to see it in person to be sure. I really like the pea coat but then I realized it's nearly identical to a trench I own, just in a heavier fabric.

hah! Thanks! With H & M I never know about sizing though. I always have to try on.

But -- those pants! They're not flattering. What am I not getting?

hah! yeah a dropped crotch is not flattering on anyone. I love the color palette and the polka dots and the dress & jacket that juliana liked too.

And I just like the idea of high-end designers making things that are affordable to the hoi polloi.

In other news of things I like! New pastry restaurant opening in my 'hood this weekend!!!

Did Dangerously Delicious Pies ever open?

Did Dangerously Delicious Pies ever open?

It is open. I have...opinions about it. I think his sweet pies are too sweet. Except for the fruit ones. But he only was offering apple the night I went in and i really think he should have seasonal fruit pies! Come on! It's berry season!

but the apple pie was delicious as was the chicken pie I had (although cold in the middle, it reheated nicely though).
