The Story Behind the Dress

I had found out about Tucker by Gaby Basora while browsing at Barney's Co-Op last year and just fell in love...At the time I was saving for my wedding and couldn't afford the price tag...well, I had watched the site since I moved from New York and sadly found that the coveted dress was taken off the site and I didn't know what to do...so one Saturday I proceeded to call every Co-Op listed online...as I was about to give up, the Chicago store had the dress and it was only $60!!!!!!!!!!! What a score...all of the other dresses had been sent to the Warehouse sale that I wasn't able to attend...so, the moral of this story is...if you search you will find:) Now that is what I call retail therapy:)

P.S. Gaby was written about in the February issue of VOGUE on page 268.

Fashion's to Come

I don't know if this is really old and I shouldn't even go there...but, Jennifer Lopez is getting rid of her J LO line...which I have to say I never bought or considered buying anything from and is replacing it with a new line called Justsweet...and no...I am not missing a space...Jennifer says she likes how it flows as one word...whatever she thinks, right...so, this line is the younger and less expensive line for Sweetface...I really appreciate the Sweetface line, so I look forward to seeing what Jennifer has in store for us...I am glad she is veering away from the whole sweat suit look...I love her style and I hope this line reflects that more...
