New York Mag, Masters of the Obvs
Last week’s New York Magazine decided to tell us what we already know (at least, where fashion’s concerned) via their Live Cheap Without Giving Up Much feature. In a sleek, over-edited column entitled “Embrace Low Fashion,” NY Mag graciously points us toward Forever 21’s $36 frocks in lieu of Zara’s $89 dresses, and recommends $115 Guess Marciano stilettos as replacements for those $610 Etro heels you used to be able to afford (what?!).
Firstly, Zara blows. Nextly, while $115 is enough to snag you a quality pair of party pumps, it’s not an insignificant sum of moolah. Spending over a Benjamin on any one item requires some thought, especially now that we’re all fiscally effed and stuff.
But thanks anyway for the hot tips, dudes. We’re thrilled you could fill that white space by telling us shit we already know.

Kvelling and Kvetching
I’ve noticed in the last month that all major sites are giving “how to” shopping tips since the economy is questionable and you took the words out of my mouth on my thoughts about them.

@ 11:14 pm on November 11th, 2008Hi, I love your page
I do disagree with your comment that Zara blows… I’ve found tons of things that are affordable and LOOK expensive. When paired with designer items you can’t even tell the difference! And because you are slim and tall I would think their cuts would actually be very flattering on you as well… Anyway, keep up the good work on your blog!!
