Clothing Catlogues

Those of us on the Internet don’t think about clothing catalogues too often. They are generally associated with a time gone by and something that is more for nostalgia than anything else. Well I can say this is not the case. I was visiting a friend and was checking out a clothing catalogue for ladies, of course! To my surprise it was nice to kick back on the couch under a nice lamp and sit and skim through a catalogue. I was able to check out all the styles without worrying about pop ups or emails distracting me, it was a very fulfilling experience.

What are some of your favorite catalogues? I am sure there are some nifty catalogues floating around out there.

The Spinning Woman

Here is an optical illusion that can test your nerves.

Which way is the lady spinning? Does the fact that she isnt wearing any clothes have anything to do with it?

This image has been floating around the net for some time so I am not sure who to attribute it to so if you know who to give credit to please let us know.

A tip is to focus on the shadow and see if you can get her to start spinning the other direction.

Some people say that the way in which you originally view her as spinning correlates to whether you are right or left brained.

While this typically wouldnt be something that we would cover I thought that it was interesting and the few subscribers would get a kick out of it. I think we may do a series on optical illusions in fashion and see what we can come up with and I can already think of a few. While this isnt fashion per se it will be the influence for some future posts so stay on the lookout unless your eyes are decieving you!

By the way I generally see her as going clockwise if that means anything.

What’s in a Coach bag? … retail, outlet, or fake?

The next time you are people watching, try playing a new game. See if you can figure out who is carrying the real deal and who is saving their pennies on their purses. It seems almost half of the women walking down the street have a coach bag, but where did they get it? Did they drop $400 in a Coach retail store to get that trendy bag or did they spend $80 at one of the Coach factory outlet stores? Better yet, have you seen all of the Coach bags they have on ebay?

I recently got a great deal on a NWT (ebay lingo meaning “new with tags”) leather Coach purse and matching wallet. I noticed on the tags it said Coach factory and I was a little perplexed. It seemed that the listing failed to mention that they were from the outlet store. I still loved the purse and wallet, but wondered if I really got the steal of deal that I thought I had. Then on my last vacation, I entered a Coach outlet for the first time. The salesperson assured me that they bags they carried were genuine. It seems that Coach has two lines, their retail line and their outlet line. The salesperson described the outlet as being “the same high quality, but with less bells and whistles than the retail store.” So if you want the trendiest bag, then retail may be for you. However, if you are just looking for than iconic C pattern then you can save 50% or more at the outlet. If you are shopping on ebay be sure to look at the seller’s feedback and ask if it from retail or outlet. So what are your thoughts on outlet shopping? Anyone ever been to a Coach outlet?
