suggested reading

here are two great fashion-related articles I found that I think you'd all enjoy.

The first link is taken from the Wall Street Journal's fashion blog and it concerns a new trend of "shopping local" for clothing and accessories. Definitely browse-worthy.

The second link is to an article from Bloomberg news, which talks about the recent proliferation of bargaining/bargain hunting in New York's smaller retail stores.

So read up and keep in the know! And if, like me, you're currently snowed in due to the bizzarro blizzard of '08, I suggest cozying up with some hot tea or cocoa and mellowing out to the wonderful sounds of caribou's melody day. I know I will.
