It’s because they know they have ridiculous markups so they rename their items to make it harder for you to find it for cheaper.

Seriously, it takes some creative Googling, but usually you’ll be amazed at just what the difference can actually be.

I like what you had to say about heels, although i admit I’ve never quite thought about it THAT in depth. You are spot on, though. I really think it depends on the subjects they studied and on other factors like the environment and ages and clothing women were wearing etc etc etc.

As for Chanel, it seems they have an issue with the Chanel-inspired, Chanel-like, Chanelesque type characterizations as well. I wouldn’t met on any editors talking back – the House of Chanel is too big of a powerhouse for them to do that!

I love when you are a “chatterbox”. Please chatter away 🙂

I agree re: the dress. It isn’t my style (I actually do agree with the fugly characterization), but I think it could look cute on some people out there in a vintage-y sense. But I also agree the whole point of thrifting and vintage is to re-use something old, not buy something new. And to call it a blogger dress – bah.

The only thing that drives me crazy about the ModCloth naming fairies is when they RENAME something. They sell pieces by brands like BB Dakota and Jeffrey Campbell, etc etc., but they always rename the item. Why can’t they just leave it alone in those cases?

Amen to the bit about wearing heels for yourself. I love what heels do for my legs (or at least the lower half of my legs – I just pretend from the knee up doesn’t exist at this point) and that makes me walk with a little more confidence. I’m not competent enough in my heel-walking to be a stiletto girl (I wish), but I won’t deny that it’s a sexy shoe.

That doesn’t seem like a very photogenic dress, but I don’t hate it. I think it could be made to look cute in that thrift-store, arts-and-crafts kind of way that I admittedly find rather adorable, but the whole point of thrift shopping (to me, a thrift store virgin) is to spend minimal with the intention of giving your finds some TLC. That price just doesn’t match the dress at all. But I agree, the naming fairies at Modcloth are pretty genius sometimes.

Sorry, I’m always such a chatterbox on your blog. It’s a good thing, right? P.S. loving both of the polishes!

I only watched the first episode. I liked it, still have to catch up on the last one.

I love anything and everything that has to do with orchids – even a nailpolish named after one! LOL

I agree re: the study. It’s funny, just about every media outlet today is talking about the study and most people are disagreeing with it. It all depends on the size and make-up of their pool of participants. Maybe if the study is repeated elsewhere it would provide a different result, who knows!

I also agree regarding the ModCloth top – with some adjustments it could be a cute top. Maybe with jeans. But as a dress? YUCK.

Thanks for the tip on the OPI polishes, will have to check out their selection!
