What teen clothing shops do you recommend in the UK? I live in the UK and can go to Oxford, London and Reading for shopping. I like shops like MKOne and Debenhams where they have nice clothes but fairly decent price. What shops do you recommend like these? I'd like to go to a shop with a style like Punkyfish but preferably cheaper? And definately NO designer shops please! Unless they sell cheaply which is unlikely =]

Where are the best places to shop for affordable designer clothing? I take pride in my style, and I love to make statements when I go to school. But now that a bunch of girls are copying my style, I need to find lesser known stores to shop at to ensure they don't have the same things as me. Generally, I wear alot of skinny jeans, blazers, high heels, ect. Is there any store that carry's these things for good prices?

Do designer mall stores donate old fashions to Goodwill? I've been travelling the country and shopping at Goodwill stores all over. I notice a lot of new clothes from brands like Gap, Old Navy, and Eddie Bauer for ~$6 per sweater/pair of pants. From what friends who are employees of the mall stores tell me, the stores don't like keeping "old fashions" around, and workers have to wear clothes less than 4 months old or so. Do the stores simply donate whatever doesn't sell? I'm more than happy to wear last year's styles for cheap!

Should I go shopping in New York or LA (for designer clothing)? Alrighttt :) So I'm a 16 year old Canadian girl and it's time to start planning my yearly out-of-town shopping trip and I was wondering where I should go - NYC or LA? To give you an idea of my style (incase one cities caries more of similar styled-clothing than the other). I tend to go for that clean-cut/prep school/tennis player kind of look, I adore cardigan sweaters & oxford shirts and I love Ralph Lauren, The Brooks Brothers & LACOSTE. I'm also shoe-crazed, so if either has a better selection of shoes that'd be great too. Thanks a lot!

"In or Out?": What fashions, makeup, or hair styles are completely out-of-style for Fall 2008? Ok Fashion and Style, and Pop culture Gurus: What women and men's styles (hair, makeup, fashion, shoes, bags, etc.) and trends are completely out of fashion, what is retro and cool, what is timeless/classic, what is trendy for Fall 2008, and what do you forecast for Spring 2009?

Sorry, they don't look good on anyone except the one genetically engineered and photo-shopped model in the advertisement. You can weigh 95 lbs and they will look bad. They look awful on guys, too.) IN: Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, RC Cola etc. OUT: Burple (you know you remember that), Tab, Squirt, Crystal Pepsi, Slice, New Coke...ok maybe those are retro...how about DECAF sodas...now those are definitely OUT Ok, that was fun...you get the point. Most creative wins!

Another designer that makes fun purses similar to Betsey Johnson? I'm looking for designers I haven't heard of before since I'm new to this whole purse shopping thing. Styles that are fun, funky, edgy, rock star, cute but not TOO girly, and not cheap looking (they can definitely cost cheap if they got everything else going on lol). Something I can find for under $200 but doesn't have to go that high in price. I like Kathy Van Zeeland too but most of her bags are kind of big. But I am looking for both small and big sized purses(not humongous). I'm not that into extremely simple bags and brands like Coach don't impress me much. So please help me complete my Christmas wish list! Thanks ;-)

Where or how can I meet Clothing and general importers or wholesalers in Chicago or other places? I'm in the clothing retail business in a wealthy area and I am looking for chinese, korean, or any other importers or wholesalers that can give me good prices on bulk amounts of designer and different styles of clothing that I can take back to my shop? I'm looking for true importers, not the "wholesale store" that's on the street selling to every person that comes in the door.

Your shopping habits as far as clading yourself is concerned......? Pick answer: 1. you are shopping everyday...going broke and have maxed out your credit cards...but you always wear what is trendy and in style...if its not label designer, forget it! 2. you haven't shopped in awhile but you have alot of things accumulated through the years...and u mix and match. 3.some of the things in ur closest still have tags on em...why not ebay it?...make money and buy things i'll actually wear? 4. my things are sooo old, maybe i need to think of getting something new..a shopping spree may get me up to date with the latest styles that is not from the 80s... 5. i love that old HS t shirt.....maybe i'll take out the neck line and add some safety pins...i hate shopping! 6. someone is starting to say i wear the same thing everyday...i need to buy another print by the same designer... 7. i just want to be confortable in my fave shirt....even though it has like a gaping hole on the back...oh well..i like it! 8._____________something else not listed.

Help me name my bridesmaid boutique!? I am in the process of opening an upscale boutique focused exclusively on bridesmaid attire. My target customer is 18-35, style conscious with modern & sophisticated sensibilities. The boutique will be located in a new shopping district with other fairly high end shops around it. I will carry 3-5 high end designers, accessories (hair clips, jewelry, purses, shoes) and some lingerie. It will operate by appointment only. My direct competition is a franchise called Bella Bridesmaid with a similiar business model, however we will carry some different designer lines. Other shops throughout the country like this: Flair Bridesmaid, Twirl, Blue, Here Comes the Bridesmaid. I would like something short (Here comes the bridesmaid is cute but too long I think) and catchy that reflects the shops style and that of my customers.

Best place in the world for clothes shopping? Price and variety? Paris for chic clothes. Toronto for variety (it has designers from everywhere and not at bad prices). Sydney a close second. But, overall, I have to say London. London seems to cater for every taste and style.

Do you know any great sites for info on Gran Canaria? Or can you answer my questions? I've never been to Gran Canaria but am thinking of booking in Playa Del Ingles. I have googled and have found some sites with general info but does anyone know any good sites with really detailed info about the best places to go, things to do, photos and maps?

In the evening are there quieter bars, ice cream parlours, shops open late etc? Do they sell Kas Naranja in GC? What is the best way to take your money? When I was last in Spain we took Euro travellers cheques and everywhere charged a high comission to cash them but there was no comission charge on sterling cash or cheques! Can you easily get from PDI to La Palma by bus? Do you know what Bus? Same question for Aqualand Aquasur. Do they sell designer style bags / sunglasses cheaply? Where can I get a detailed map with all hotels and attractions marked on it? Thanks Thanks re the holiday review websites. I have had a look on those to check out the hotel I'm thinking of booking but they don't have sections with reviews purely on the resorts - or have I missed them? Thanks for the suggestion of PR but I'm keen on PDI because it's such a huge resort so there must be plenty to do and also, I've found a really good deal and I'm just trying to get a bit of info before I book.

Has anyone spent around 2-3 Grand or more in 1 month Worth of Shopping? Ok...so, I had all this "Thug" "Hip Hop" clothes that i wore the past 2 years,and i'm done with that now. You can't go fighting and living like tupac forever. Most of it was too baggy!.and XXL Is not my size!. So EVEN when I TRIED to dress nice(dress shirt,Dress pants), I would still look "Thug" . And it never really was my style so now, i'm getting Nicer stuff, that actually fits! I spent like 2,500 around there, On shirts, Pants, Shoes, Belts,Jackets.You name it. Kinda of like wardrobe makeover! Some of it High designer (Armani/ Boss) and some cheaper stuff like Mexx and Guess, to the discout stuff like H&M. Anyone ever do this? Spend huge amount of money in short time on a HUGE shopping spree? Cuz i feel like i'm going crazy hahaha 5 Bags full lol, wow. I think all mine put together would be about about 3-4. But yea 5 isnt out of reach haha

Why is current women's fashion treading mu-mu styles? Ok, it's not quite as bad as mu-mus, but when I shop for clothes, I notice a lot of empire waists, kimono-like tops, wide-band waistlines, and babydoll-type blouses. How did these trends come back into fashion, and is there a general term for this style? I know styles are cyclical, but did a certain designer bring it back? Is it consumer demand? I'm frustrated because I'm small framed, and these styles make me look fat, pregnant and just plain sloppy. I can't find anything to flatter my body type (34-26-36, 5'3", 105 lbs.). I've been looking at NY & Company, Old Navy, TJ Maxx, Macy's, and American Eagle. I'd like to know what you think of these styles, too. If you know of any places I should try out, I'd appreciate it (within an Old Navy price range). Or do I have to wait 10 years before I can buy clothes again??

Where can i find cheap designer inspired or celeb style inspired? :)? I have tried ASOS, salehoo, celebrity style guide. Any other online shops to look from? Thanks so much!

How do I dress like Massie Block without spending a ton of money? Um, so I really admire Massie Block's style. She's so mature and cool. I want to buy clothes like hers, though because I'm not old enough to earn money and buy high end designer stuff, I need some good stores to go to. I already know that Macy's is really good, and some other large stores at the mall. However, I am open to suggestions. I am about to go school clothes shopping and get lots of clothes, so I need an answer please. Thanks.

What tense of verbs in this passage? Pls help me!? Complete the following passage by supplying the correct tense of the verb: I (just buy) this really cool pair of blue sunglasses.

I (go) to this new club next Wednesday - nobody ever (go) to clubs at the weekend - and these shades (be) perfect, you know what I mean? Everyone (wear) them these days. They're so cooooool!

What is the psychology behind wearing the same clothes everyday? I know a guy who wears the same outfit everyday. He wears the same STYLE of t-shirt, underwear and socks, but his jeans and shoes are the EXACT same pair. He is not poor, dirty, smelly nor does his work require him to dress this way. He showers often and cares about his appearance/fashion as the products/clothing he owns are designer labels. I once suggested he wear something other than his "uniform" to a party we were going and he was highly objective. When shopping, he gets VERY ANGRY & FRUSTRATED and finds something wrong with everything he tries on--despite him being the perfect size for clothes. What is all this about? Please explain in detail, I have two Psych degrees and I really want to understand this. THIS IS 7 DAYS A WEEK FOR A YEAR NOW!!!!

Clothes shopping in Melbourne? So, I live in Melbourne, and I badly need to get some clothes for spring/summer, but I'm kinda sick of the generic teen shops like Supre, Cotton On, Valleygirl etc. Most of their clothes (mainly Supre) are kinda trashy imo (no offense) and I was only shopping there because it was cheap and everyone else was. My style is a mix of summery, bohemian clothes like printed maxi dresses, gypsy skirts, flowy tops etc. with light cardis, shorts, plain singlet tops and jeans. Any suggestions on where to shop? I'm buying a lot of clothes (I literally have no clothes, I haven't bought anything in like 6+ months) so the prices would have to be cheap/reasonable, so no designer clothes (they're gorgeous, but so expensive). Should I go to somewhere like Highpoint/Chadstone or little streets and boutiques? Thanks :]

wedding dress/bridesmaid dress shopping? hi everyone! i am getting married next june and am trying to figure out what i want to do for my bridesmaid's dresses. each of my bridesmaids is a different size and shape (tall, big and big chest/tall, big, small chest/tall, skinny, small chest) etc so i was thinking about letting them pick their style of dress for themselves and tell them that they should all be tea length and a certain color from the same designer and same fabric etc etc. i also know that the bridal shops dont carry all of the dresses from the designers. can we ask for the bridal shop to get samples in of that type of dress? or do they have to choose, then order it and be stuck with it even if it doesnt look good? i dont want this to be a HUGE hassle for them/me, but i also want them to be comfortable with what they're wearing. thanks!!!

Celebrity styles, Cheap prices. Any HELP? I would like to know where I can buy fashionable clothes/ outfits such as these...for cheap prices. http://www.pursepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/vanessa-hudgens-and-her-miu-miu-vitello-lux-purse2.jpg http://www.handbagdesigner101.com/images/img_celebrity/166/HUGE_vanessa_hudgens_BALENCIAGA.jpg http://www.fash-eccentric.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/vanessa_hudgens.jpg http://www.thebaglady.tv/ashley298375235.JPG http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2007/stylewatch/blog/071008/vanessa_hudgens_300x400.jpg http://www.pursepage.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/name-vanessa-hudgens-designer-purse.jpg http://vanessa-hudgens.thecandidphotos.com/wp-content/uploads/shopping/vanessa_hudgens_zac_efron_urban_outfitters_9.jpg Anything is helpful.

Online shop for men's designer clothing and shoes? I now live in Europe, and the prices here are astronomical. Many things are 4-5 times the price in the U.S., and with sales it could even be a greater difference. Every time I look for something online, I never find exactly what I want. Recently, I looked for the following, and each time I did not find the style I wanted: Privo shoes by Clarke (I found many styles, not the one I wanted), Jaguar eyeglass frames (I came within 1 digit of the correct style), Cerruti casual collection, Geox shoes, (discount) Zegna, and Nautica Competition. Sometimes, I find nothing; other times I come exasperatingly close. However, I haven't found any reliable website that seems to offer what I want. I doubt the styles sold here are always different than in the U.S., so I'm hoping some website will suit my needs.

Where do they sell breathtaking designer prom dresses? I mean designer like BCBG. I want a dress for my formal and I can't find any amazing ones. I checked, saks , Bloomingdale's, nordstrom, and shop style. Does anyone know any other stores?

What do you think of thrift store and vintage shopping? i started years ago because i'm a broke college kid, but i did it in high school too. i would find these wonderful colorful one of a kind pieces. they would be less than 6 bucks for a shirt, and less than 15 bucks for pants. i could get so much for 100 dollars. a lot of people cling to designer labels, and call that fashion, but its just copying off of someone else, so how is that fashion. its not really your own fashion. i think its nice to have some innovators who wear thrift store stuff especially stuff i've seen and own is like janis joplin, prince, and jimi hendrix style's. so...a lot of people i know blow money on designer or even at the mall, but i go to ross, tjmaxx, plato's closet, and michaels. i've even seen stuff at walmart, kmart, etc. so...what do you think of thrift store/vintage shopping? as long as the clothes are clean-not dirty, and not smelling. a nice design and color. i'lll wear it. what about you?

Here is a rough version of the first chapter of my book? Chapter 1 “No! I will not stay here and deal with her! We live like such fools! Forget your regrets about the divorce! I’m not going to come running to you either! I’m leaving for good!” Candace yelled into the receiver. “Well, you’re going to have to stay, whether you like it or not. What is your other choice?” Mr. Timmons insisted in a frustrated tone. He was becoming increasingly impatient with Candace and her demands. “I have had it with both you and Mom! I am just going to leave!” she screamed. She slammed the receiver down on the desk. Her face, as swollen as a bad mosquito bite, wrote a story of anger and tearful disappointment. Candace felt betrayed by her father’s refusal to allow her to live on her own in apartment, or else, take her into his home. The predominant coldness of her mother had finally pushed her to the cliff’s edge. Leaning over precariously while looking down at the valley below, she thought about jumping off sometimes. Her desire to get out of her living situation seemed stronger than ever. She was putting her escape plans into effect. Thanks heavens I probably won’t be staying here much longer. I can go stay with Dad or Auntie and really work on my paintings. Her hazel eyes met with her mother’s cold steel blue eyes. Candace stared right through her, as if she were a mirage instead of a desert oasis. A righteous rage penetrated her mother slowly, but she chose to ignore her interests as usual. Warning, symbols and body language meant little to her because of her emotional vacancy. “So I guess you will be happy now. You’ve finally got what you wanted. Don’t bother to say goodbye and I will see my way out,” Candace announced coolly. You always use people and then pretend that you didn’t do anything to them, or that you’re really sorry about your actions. Mrs. Timmons hardly looked up from her spot. She jerked to the right in her chair for some reason, maybe from shock. Candace couldn’t really tell what was going on in her mind. She waited for a response from her mother. Finally, Mrs. Timmons took a deep breath and let out an exasperated sigh. “Fine. Leave the keys with me. Take what you need and nothing else,” Mrs. Timmons responded icily, as she crossed her arms over her chest. She stared at the floor instead of raising her head to look at her daughter. “Well, you always get what you want now, don’t you? One way or another, you manage to manipulate my life. Sometimes I can’t even believe what you’ve managed to get away with. If Dad only knew the whole story,” she moaned as she trailed off, twisting her left fingers into her hair. Mrs. Timmons defiantly looked away for a moment. She took a deep breath while her eyes moved back and forth from one side of the room to the other. Candace waited for her to say that last comment she usually made whenever they disagreed. I’m not the one who has to win the arguments, she thought to herself. “Well, do what you want. You are always full of nonsense. Just go pack up your things and leave then, if you’re not happy. It’s not like I want to hold you up,” she announced coldly after a few minutes had passed. “Fine.” Candace retorted without hesitation. I won’t waste my time on someone who doesn’t care, because if I wanted to, I would stay. She furiously fled out of the living room. Rushing across the hall, she headed for the far staircase. Since she had lost this round of gunfire, she decided that she would no longer fight in this war of words between her mother and her father. Her intention was to leave this house, once and for all. This time, her determination to leave seemed genuine. Her strawberry-blonde hair flew through the air in streams as she nearly catapulted herself out of the room. Her mother and sisters stared behind her as she made her way out. She was always the first and last one in the room to make a scene. Her mother put her book down on the side table, got up out of her rocking chair and walked to the middle of the Persian carpet that lined the hardwood floor. She watched as her eldest daughter stomped up the stairs to her room on the third floor. “Don’t bother saying goodbye! I don’t want to see you ever again!” she yelled down the stairs as she crossed the loft into her room. There was no response. Her words echoed through the entire house. The usual realization of her indifference caused little grief to Candace, since she had spent years putting up with her mother’s attempts at using her to get more money out of her father. They had been divorced since she was eleven. Their separation wasn’t unpleasant, and neither was their marriage. Her father was simply a classic workaholic. He stayed at the office till 8 p.m. or later on a typical weeknight. This Friday, she managed to get a hold of him before 9 p.m. That was unusual for her. Initially, she had hoped her mother might actually respond in her favor. As usual, her dreams were dashed. She had decided to just hang up without saying anything else to her father. Her father didn’t make most of the decisions simply because he wasn’t around. Because of his lack of involvement, she had put up with her mother’s meddling for years. Tears rolled down her eyes as she stormed up the stairs to the attic above. Her temper was like a brooding tempest that waited in the outer edges of the horizon, closing in slowly on a warm, clear sky. She continuously shocked all the members of her family with her outbursts. They could never predict how, when or why she would let her demons loose. The bedroom door slammed behind her. She dropped onto her bed, placed her head on her pillows for a moment, then let out a sigh. She rested there for a few minutes. Then exasperation took over, so she decided to take a quick shower. As she stripped each layer of clothing and placing them in a pile on the bathroom floor, she slid into the hot shower she had just started. Quickly she lathered up the soap and began washing herself. The warm water rinsed away her salty tears that had started streaming down her cheeks. She was relieved to be upstairs, just so that she could avoid crying in front of her mother. Mrs. Timmons had disapproved of any public display of emotion. This was one of the many so-called attributes of hers that annoyed Candace greatly. As polar opposites, they didn’t have much in common to begin with. She wasn’t obsessed with clothes, but her mother had to have the finest designer clothing from all the expensive shops downtown. As a child, she had been fascinated occasionally by a beautiful dress for a special occasion, but as soon as she hit her teens, she started buying baby doll dresses and seventies-style clothing from old thrift shops or else, the mall. Once in a while she went to a large boutique when they had a sale, but she didn’t shop on a daily basis. Her mother was nearly addicted to high fashion and had racked up huge bills every month. When she realized the allowance wasn’t enough to pay for all the items she bought, she went to court to demand more money. At one point, she even had to take out a second mortgage just to pay off her credit line. She had read their files, budget plans and online portfolio. She thought about these details as she washed and conditioned her hair. She let the water rinse her thoroughly, then finally stood in the shower for a while just to feel the warm water fall on her body. She thought that was a sensual experience of sorts. She wasn’t a virgin anymore, so she was fascinated by every opportunity to experience some kind of sexual or sensual pleasure. Finally, she got out of the shower, brushed out her hair and dried off her body with a towel. For a moment, she looked at herself in the mirror. She was thankful that her appearance was so different from her mother. With her light reddish blonde hair and dark hazel eyes, she resembled her patriarchal grandmother far more than the woman who gave birth to her. With the release of a sigh, she picked up a tube of concealer. As she dotted the makeup over her circles, she started examining the situation. Candace had wanted out of the family for a long time. The only members she got along with, other than her little sisters, were her aunts and uncles. Her grandparents had passed during the first nine years of her childhood. She figured she would go stay with them for awhile, since they would not mention that she was staying with them. They lived six hours away along the coast. During her teenage years, she had tossed around the idea of running away, which seemed glamorous and wild. Occasionally, she read the newspaper. One of the featured stories might mention teenagers arrested by police officers, kids in juvenile hall, and occasionally, something about kids on the street. She had decided against such an existence. Now she was older. Her main focus now was to get off this battlefield of anger, simmering discontent and veiled hostility. She would not wear a mask of calmness over her anger like her mother.

A short story..I think? i whipped it up in about a half hour i was just bored on the computer, i didn't even bother to spell check. I'm up for criticism. i didn't start this knowing where it would go i was thinking up the next word as i typed it. so lemme know.... She is "beauty", Inspiring things lately manifested deeply behind hate and fear. The type of woman you would hope dearly to glimpse on the hottest day of your month-long peril through a treacherous Sahara. Even if this is a mirage, I dare not move. Fearing the slightest disturbance of air would fright this wonder to flee. Out of breath panting i outreach..not thin air i grasp but a lush of delicate hair streams through my rough whithered hands. Soft spoken with a melodic voice that would leave any voice over actress in the dust. "Everything..everything you will ever need." the sky loosely wrenching rolling, lawling like a overjoyed tired out old dog. mountains dancing like the waves of some high sea, in your average day to day pirate ship story. "Today, is the day you find true love." again on this mirage, opening my mouth for words when all that spills out is choked up smoke. wishing i could say more, turning she didn't look back. Walking away she faded into what nobody can understand. to the impossible but not beyond reach. The sky now had begun convulsing like a drunk writhing in pain to hack up his microwave late-dinner. but now with the joy of the moment faded completely the ground stood still, the light of the blazing sun was no more. It was replaced with a vivid light shone dark red. the smell of fresh plastic. To my knees i fell. No strength left to carry on. I managed every ounce of energy my body kept in reserves for future well use. i looked at this wondrous sky, and let out the scream of my life. I could not hear myself only the sharp ring as if a high powered grenade had burst just out of lethal range. louder and louder. My trembling hands and broken joints, all tearing at my own body. then out from some warp of indefinite time and infinite space appeaared something so amazing i could not make up my mind if i was terrified or overjoyed. this creature of a man with a pig-snout bulls horns framing a face so twisted and gnarled it made me more naucious then this quivering sky. the best of hair which had to reach the mid back length on this thing. so huge it looked like three bulls and an assortment of 4 to 5 wild animals massed together. eyes reminiscent of a wolf, but rather they had feline quality and shimmer. the torso of a man legs of a black jaguar but stood vertically like a would-be human. no tail that was in sight. he wore what seemed to be clothes but they seemed to hover an inch above his skin rather then touch. i could not make out what the clothes looked like they seemed to be translucent and yet solid. Black. slowly walking toward me i realized i had hesitated to examine this thing too long, scratching all the nails from fingertips i clawed to my feet and began to run. running, the hardest i believe i have ever ran before. i wished i was in a movie and able to summon unearthly spped and make it all the way back to my lonely home. where i could go back to being alone. after what seemed to be thirty seconds i dared a look back, astonished the man-beast had brought himself to all fours sprinting like a cheetah he was a mere lunge from taking me. with a growl so horrible i would have surely needed another pair of boxers come the aftermath. he lunged and caught my right leg. i felt the cold rush of blood and the shock of a fresh wound. now on the ground the beast held me there. he began licking the wound with a tongue as long as a cow but thin and rough like an aged man.screaming i tried to kick which seemed only to anger the man and he left the wound to bleed on it's own. at my face this thing was looking me in the eye not six inches from my face. looking into me with those cat eyes, he had a stench about him the reminded me of a fresh batch of laundry mixed with the post-digested smell of mashed tacos. he said my name aloud. i dared not answer back. he began screaming. "Let go!" over and over "LET GO! LET GO!" fear as tight as a bears maw gripped me. i tried to wriggle free to no avail. "Let go!" his voice so deep and hateful. it now began to rise into harmony with another sound. something i could not identify. high pitched then soft then loud. i felt my whole body moving and bouncing. Closing my eyes hoping all of this would soon be over. i heard the noise of a shopping bag from a nice designer style clothes retail store. opening my eyes i was now awake in my room. bed spreads tossed and the mattress revealed by my apparent struggling, i was on the left edge of the bed in a cold sweat. Chloey had a hold of both my shoulders straddling me trying to bring back to reality. i struggled to grasp what had just happened. i looked around for the beast, the bag, the desert, anything to make sence of this. then i thought of the beautiful woman in the something happened, i think it cut off the end of the story, is there a character limit for this section?? i'm going to try to find a different way to post it up here.

Asian purse designer - great bag, but who designed it? This is a long shot, but if you know this store in Seattle and are into bags, maybe you can help me. I was at Pike Place Market the other day while on vacation in Seattle and found an all purse shop near the all quilt shop. There were these great designer Asian handbags that I thought I could remember the designer's name for, but can't. The bags by this designer were large with bright colors and had lots of compartments and all tote style. One I really liked and little compartments on the outside of the purse underneath the straps of the purse. Hard to describe. Anybody know what I'm talking about or can ask me some questions to help clarify? Anyone familiar with the store who knows what brands they carry? The purse was around 350 dollars. The fabrics were all wipe-able. One is bright red and is on the top of the first display area on the right when you walk in.

Where can I find 7 For All Mankind jeans in Austin, Texas? I know that Nordstrom's has them, but I don't like the style of the jeans currently. I don't like the material and they are too dark. What I really want is a pair of the 'Flynt' jeans. They are a light wash and the back pocket has an orange zig zag design. They aren't a new design. Back in Los Angeles, there were several small shops that would sell designer jeans that were no longer available in department stores. Do they have any of those in Austin, Texas? Please share if you know!!! Or if you have ever bought this brand of jeans off of Ebay, can you tell me how your experience went? Awesome! Thanks! There is a Last Call Neiman Marcus right up the street from me!

Where can I buy designer firearms to match my high-end style? Hello, I was just wondering if there are any premier designers (maybe like prada, ferregamo, etc) who put out designer firearms. With all the news about shootings, I can't help but feel the need to protect myself, and I did go into a gun shop, but all the items were either cheap or unfashionable, and don't match anything I wear. Can anyone recommend a gun that matches vogue zebra-striped handbag I just bought? I have attached a link of it so you can see what I can afford. (http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446145921&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492702936&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395222441&bmUID=1177639106352&ev19=1:3) Please let me know what you think!

Where should I shop for clothing? I am a 34 year old part-time freelancing graphic designer/stay at home mom. I live in NYC and I love fashion. The problem is I hate all my clothes and I hate all the clothing I see at the places like the Gap. I feel like I am too old to shop at places like this and too young for places like Talbots. I love anthropologie but find the clothing too expensive for the quality. I am looking for a place where I can get some good basics and achieve that Audrey Hepburn classic style. Any suggestions much appreciated!

Is it me or is there a poor selection of Christmas wrap this year? I am most disappointed in the selection of Christmas wrapping paper and gift adornments that are offered in all the shops this year. I have been EVERYWHERE and have seen them all yet I have yet to find one design, texture or pattern to jump out at me and scream "style, joy and pizazz". What, did all the best commercial designers get laid off in '08? How am I ever going to present my gifts wrapped in these shabby papers and drab ribbons. Ick!
