Thank you. </p> <p>Polly, unfortunately you have to be a paid up member to access articles from that paper, so I shan't be able to use it. Thanks foe trying though. Sounds like a good read.</p> <p>This thread is closed. I have to write the post </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-18#post-500727 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:25:11 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 500727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/life/fashion/article3275287.ece" rel="nofollow">http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/.....275287.ece</a></p> <p>An encouragement for those planning to SYC this year. I was struck (and I admit, slightly horrified) to hear about all of the things the writer had been buying and then not wearing, probably particularly because I buy relatively little and at much lower price points. For me the draw was reading of the pay off at the end of the year - the encouragement that it is possible to change your habits, even ones that seem impossibly ingrained. A message of hope! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-18#post-500709 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:07:59 +0000 Angie 500709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Vildy and Lisa! </p> <p>Any other links? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-18#post-500657 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:01:59 +0000 Lisa 500657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The two recent posts really speak to me about mindless shopping. Something I have been working hard to do less and less. Especially ,Shopping: The Danger of the Alluring Assortment , which opened my eyes to why I just purged 4 grey blazers! And how I probably ended up with four of them to begin with.</p> <p><a href="http://theviviennefiles.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://theviviennefiles.blogspot.com/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-18#post-500634 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:22:20 +0000 Vildy 500634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.ncregister.com/blog/the-death-of-pretty" rel="nofollow">http://www.ncregister.com/blog/the-death-of-pretty</a></p> <p>This is the direction I had been going with my style, towards feeling pretty and away<br /> from feeling tough.<br /> Not to be confused with facial prettiness. Contrasting "pretty" with "hot" and using<br /> the example of Grease. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-18#post-500428 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 03:35:07 +0000 Debora 500428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laurinda, I didn't know that Priscilla of Boston had closed! I got my wedding dress there 31 years ago, and Priscilla herself helped select it. How awful to hear about the gowns being spray-painted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-18#post-500414 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 03:21:09 +0000 Angie 500414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic, ladies! </p> <p>Any other links? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-18#post-500043 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 20:58:29 +0000 annagybe 500043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jason Wu is doing a line for Target.</p> <p><a href="http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/03/bulls-eye-jason-wu-for-target/" rel="nofollow">http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.....or-target/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-18#post-499971 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 19:23:43 +0000 Inge 499971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am completely smitten with the first outfit in this series from the Carolina Herrera spring collection 2012. I think it's colourful elegance (and colour-blocking too) done extremely well. That particular shade of green is exquisite and I love this type of simple yet strong abstract pattern. I love how the scarf adds one extra colour (yellow) to the mix and how the two patterns go together. The light trousers accentuate the vibrancy of the colours, and I could really see myself wearing this type of simple V-neck sweater with wide-legged trousers (slightly longer would be better:-) </p> <p><a href="http://notdeadyetstyle.blogspot.com/2011/09/in-mood-for-something-beautiful.html" rel="nofollow">http://notdeadyetstyle.blogspo.....tiful.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-18#post-499924 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 17:50:07 +0000 Laurinda 499924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feel free to skip this link if it is too far off topic, but I was shocked to read about the going-out-of business bridal shop Priscilla of Boston that spray painted/destroyed thousands of dollars worth of wedding gowns and accessories; "Witnesses say it wasn't just bridal gowns, other dresses, shoes, slippers, hair ties and other items were also being tossed." </p> <p><a href="http://www.kare11.com/news/article/954307/396/Wedding-dresses-destroyed-in-Edina" rel="nofollow">http://www.kare11.com/news/art.....d-in-Edina</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-18#post-499869 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 16:53:26 +0000 MsMary 499869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many years ago, when I was 16 years old and visiting Rome on a summer vacation, I walked into a Gucci boutique and saw a little sign, in English, that said "Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten." Heh. I've never forgotten that.</p> <p>Ahem.</p> <p>Here's an interesting article about Gucci and its "roller-coaster history" as a luxury brand: <a href="http://www.slate.com/articles/life/departures/2012/01/gucci_s_history_the_story_of_fashion_s_iconic_brand.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.slate.com/articles/.....brand.html</a>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-18#post-499834 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 16:09:57 +0000 Angie 499834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been a while! </p> <p>You know the drill.
