This is the only item from the Gap you will find in my closet. Somehow I ended up with a gift certificate to the Gap. I think it may have been from a returned gift, but it had been sitting in my wallet for so long I can’t remember.
I tried to spend it, I really did. Every time I went to the mall I stopped into the Gap, trying to find something to spend it on. But everything was just so… bland. Boring. Nothing …

After a few, obsessive days, I decided I had to have them – and …

I own a pretty disturbing amount of Marc Jacobs shoes, but not a single stitch of clothing. At least, not until a few weeks ago, when I found this adorable dress at eLuxury.com. Every Marc piece I tried on was ill-fitting. Too blousy or too snug, in all the wrong places.
