Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

That said, I think the only two pieces I really like are the pea coat and the dress, but they are both lovely.

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.

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.

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?

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).

There is nothing from that collection that I am interested in. Dear H&M, I think you should do a special collection designed by Vivenne Westwood. THAT would be awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Kat, I meant to ask you -- did DonorsChoose ask you to vote for them in the Members Project, as a recipient teacher? I'm curious because I didn't get anything from them as a donor, but obviously they are kicking ass so far.

Jesse, yep! I assume so. I've been both a donor and a teacher, so it's hard to tell. I need to do another grant for teh rest of the books I need.
