As I Was Walking down Spring Street...

I saw this girl.

Inside the bubble over my head were the words, " Totally superfab trench! Where did she get it and how much did it cost"?

Since starting this blog, I've become quite bold so I went up to her and got all the necessary information; however, I was with my son, on the way to a chocolate tasting, so I could not stop and follow up on the incredible news.

The trench is made by Custo Barcelona and was being sold at a sample sale for $70. You could have knocked me over with a feather.

So sad. You can be at the right place, at the right time, and still not get that perfect trench!

U r 24K!

Krom's Picks from Gap, Fall 2008 - Revisited

In two previous posts, Patrick puts Gap on the Map again and Krom's picks from Gap, Fall 2008, I selected superfabulous items from images of Patrick Robinson's Gap, Fall 2008 collection. I finally was able to see the clothes up close and personal. The verdict?

An emphatic YES to the puffer coat!

Yes to these two great sweaters! Both of these sweaters are basic with a twist, and will take you very far.

Yes to these jackets! These two jackets have nice lines, a great fit, great versatility and look much more expensive than they are.

NO to the shearling! While the vest and coat are well designed and the leather exterior is fine, the fleece interior is synthetic and yucky feeling. And I don't think this vest or coat will keep you very warm like real shearling would.

I have not seen this jacket in person yet, but it looks like a very strong candidate for purchase, classic and in sync with the gray flannel and hunting themes that are so popular this season. Imagine how chic this jacket would look with velvet jeans...

Patrick Puts Gap on the Map Again

When I saw Patrick Robinson's Fall 2008 collection for Gap, I knew I would be making some visits to the Gap. I HAVE to have this puffer coat! The vest looks superfab too.

I'm going to check out this shearling coat, sweater and vest when they arrive!

This is available at Gap.com now



I can't wait until all this great stuff hits the store! (to see it, touch it, and feel it); I am a very tactile shopper. I really can't buy clothing/shoes online. What can I say? I shop old school.

I hope I run into you at the Gap!

U r 24K!
