Angie will know for sure. If we come we'll camp for a couple of nights so that we can bring home more stuff without paying duty and so we can bring back alcohol--it's like 4X cheaper in Washington than in BC, but you have to be away for something like a full 24 hours to be alllowed to bring any back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-why-why#post-53319 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 22:15:37 +0000 Laura 53319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, wouldn't it be fun to have a YLF gathering at Nordstrom Seattle for the Anniversary Sale? </p> <p>When is it, Brianna? July? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-why-why#post-53310 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 21:50:02 +0000 Ariadne 53310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll definitely be crossing the border when the weather warms up a bit--probably more than once. Mike and I have plans for camping and other fun things. And my sister and I might come down for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-why-why#post-53284 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 20:55:08 +0000 Angie 53284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brianna, you need to drive down to Seattle. We’d find you a bag you loved for sure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-why-why#post-53276 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 20:37:24 +0000 Ariadne 53276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...do so many handbags have super-shiny, ultra-fake looking silver or, worse, faux GOLD hardware? I've been looking for a handbag for ages and so many otherwise excellent bags ar made tacky and cheap-looking by their hardware. I was hoping to find a black faux leather bag and almost every single one I otherwise liked had horrific hardware that completely ruined the look. Fake gold hardware is the worst. Very convincing faux leather so often looks cheap and fake because of the handbags' hardware. Seriously, does anyone actually like that look? Why do designers not use brushed nickel, pewter, or bronze-look hardware instead? It's so much more sophisticated and surely no more expensive than the shiny tacky stuff. Plus, brass and pewter (fake is fine) mix well with silver AND gold jewelry instead of just one or the other. Ugh.! </p> <p>Lots of the expensive real leather bags had tacky hardware, too. I finally ended up buying a very marked down real leather hobo bag by Lucky Brand because I couldn't find anything else that I liked. </p> <p>Hopefully I won't have to do any more bag shopping until I can save up enough money to get my custom handbag made (maybe after my birthday in May...)</p> <p>Phew! Just had to vent. </p>
