In Hard Times, No More Fancy Pants- NY Times

I read a very interesting article yesterday in the Sunday Times that I want to share with you. My favorite quote in the article is this– “Today, bejeweled fashionistas are pegged as tone-deaf Marie Antoinettes.”

As for the era of subtle luxury, AMEN!!! We’ve always encouraged our readers to stay away from bling-y logo bags and to buy investment bags if they can only afford one bag a season. It’s good to know that shopping smart is now “chic”, maybe now we’ll have a break from crazy trendy bags.

Please take a moment to read it and tell me what you think.


Quick question– in hard times, do you want to go to your favorite date night restaurant and find it stripped of its glamour and replaced with salvaged wood from a barn? Not that I’m promoting conspicuous consumerism but when you’re depressed about the economy, don’t you want to escape for a couple of hours when you go out?
