He&nbsp;explains why luxury goods are not likely to go on sale --&nbsp;<em>People pay extra partly for the privilege of paying extra</em>&nbsp;-- and suggests that people today are more interested in connecting to their&nbsp;networks than in their stuff.

She's one of my favourites due to&nbsp;her no-nonsense attitude and dryly humorous&nbsp;writing style, and of course it's neat to see such a different style getting worn out and about in daily life. I agree re: the thought she puts into it; I love an uber-analytical style blog! heehee </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-128#post-1242981 Tue, 06 May 2014 01:04:31 +0000 Vildy 1242981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>E, thank you so much for posting a link to that blog. I took a look at it since you said it was a favorite of yours and found it fascinating. Her style emphasis is 180 degrees away from mine but I adore her outfits where she's figured out exactly her template and even where to find groupings of clothes to buy to pull it off. Love the thought she's put into it all, about why she likes what she likes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-128#post-1242901 Mon, 05 May 2014 23:36:55 +0000 E 1242901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my favourite style bloggers is doing a project to see how small her wardrobe can be and still make her happy by creating 15 perfect outfits. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://befabulousdaily.us/?p=2091">This post</a>&nbsp;outlines her strategy and rationale and includes directions for any readers who want to try it out themselves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-128#post-1242846 Mon, 05 May 2014 22:41:30 +0000 MsMary 1242846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness!&nbsp; Look at these dresses!&nbsp; And the article about how modern science is discovering how the designer made them so fab is so interesting!&nbsp; It makes me want to go to the Met and check out the exhibit for myself!&nbsp; (And how cool that they're opening a new Costume Center named after Anna Wintour!)</p> <p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/01/arts/design/the-dresses-of-charles-james-at-the-met.html?contentCollection=fashion&amp;action=click&amp;module=NextInCollection&amp;region=Footer&amp;pgtype=article" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05.....?contentCo</a>#</p> <p>Don't forget to check out the vid4eo:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/video/arts/design/100000002855343/deconstructing-charles-james.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/video/a.....james.html</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-128#post-1242626 Mon, 05 May 2014 19:00:05 +0000 Inge 1242626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always look forward to seeing what everyone has been reading.
