GGrrrr...poop and arse! Sometimes posting your wishlist doesn't pay off!

Today is supposedly Blue Monday...the day when more people feel a sense of depression than any other day of the year. I was feeling pretty good, until...I came home and decided to treat myself to two items off my wishlist - the oversized blue clutch and the art-deco necklace. THEY ARE SOLD OUT! Sometimes spreading the word of style doesn't pay dividends!! No...I am not depressed or arrogant enough to think that my advertising alone would cause a stock outage; just slightly annoyed that I didn't purchase such great bargains while I had the chance. I am also pleased that others may agree with my style choices. Now, I am at a slight loss, as I am unable to find a cool, oversized clutch. Any help would be much appreciated.

Marc Jacobs' sense of humour prevails...but is it cool?

I am not a fan of Victoria Beckham; for the same reasons as most people but mainly because in my mind fashion and style need to be in some way organic, natural. Mrs. Beckham's style is so far removed from that ideal that is virtually impossible for me to respect her look. She is over-stylised, trying far to hard to adhere to any current trend. So when she was announced as the new face of Marc Jacobs, I was slightly worried as to what the result may be. Here it is. Victoria is "the legs" of Monsieur Jacobs. We all have seen Marc Jacobs unique, funny side with his camel toe costume but is this a worthy campaign? It will definitely get Marc what he wants - maximum publicity...which is why I was in a quandary about this post...by tomorrow it will be in every magazine and newspaper across the western world. What do you think?

American Apparel...a disappointing online experience.

I have extolled the virtues of American Apparel from the rooftops (see my many posts here)...but I have been let down by my own retail experience with their UK online branch. I received a fab, lapis colour, zip up sweat fleece 2 weeks ago, only to realise I had been charged twice for the item. Fine, an easy mistake to make...but getting in touch with American Apparel in the UK is as easy as finding vintage Chanel in Oxfam. I have left 4 telephone messages, sent 2 emails via their online contact form and emailed the .net address they quote on their answering machine. Almost 2 weeks later and still no response! Frustrating and annoying...yes, very!
