Mmmm, cashmere hoodies!

I was going to add to ppnyc - those TSE-type things, despite the outrageous cost, can be way more delicate than the typical person not sending everything to Mme Paulette's on a constant basis may want to undertake. I think I went in that store a million times and could just never pull the trigger. I don't regret it.

Another option ifyou insist on high end things - are those high-end outlets still around, north of the city? I did really well there once or twice. Helps to be either quite small or quite large, though, for stock.

ps - agree with ncs on Bloomingdales - I have some wool sweaters from their house brand and I don't love them.

does Juicy have cashmere hoodies?

Oh oh. Went to Saks Stella McCartney has a new perfume and it is hot. The british man spraying it on me was hot as well. [I am still buying Jo Malone]

Last question. Red lipgloss. Dior Addict? Shesheido? Chanteicaille??

That should be nice, you have excellent taste. What color?

something unusual and not standard issue color.

Jesus, I don't know. Buy the one with the color that best suits you. Same for Juicy or Theory - who cares? What you need is *fit* and decent quality and good price-quality ratio. But would those brands work well for you? I mean nothing negative by it, but I wouldn't think a junior size would be the best for you, given your descriptions of height/shape.

And as for perfume, I don't change with new products very much. I've been wearing Issey Miyake and a couple Annick Goutals for years, and recently have added Creed to the pot. And I am still, a decade later, missing Gap's Grass.

Dissent. (Though agree with you on the crappiness of Bloomingdale's cashmere.)

All the sweaters I have from TSE have held up beautifully. I've had them for years, and they don't pill at all. Compared to other (even more expensive) cashmere, it's really durable TSE sweaters really hold up and hold their shape. I don't think I have ever bought anything full price there, though. I always wait until the end-of-season sale.

Juicy and Theory run small. Theory's pencil skirts fit me as well as I tried on a stretch ruched white shirt which looked fairly good on.

To be frank, I would need a good cut. I went down a size this round of Ann Taylor sweaters is a size L. [the chest] The saleswoman says L is a 12.

I have silk sweaters and twin sets in every color. Olive. burnt orange, lime green, black, light blue, rose, steel grey. The cashmere needs to not be the same.

I have known that I want a cashmere hoodie for some time (I invented wanting a cashmere hoodie!), AND my birthday was a month ago.

I'm WAITING ...

What's your reach? neck size? bicep? Your chest (normal and expanded)?

Crash! Now I regret it.

Well, the two of you should still make out.

This was quite funny. So on one hand, some HankAvatars [TM] give you a bad vibe, and on the other you feel they can be used for good, not evil and are some sort of good luck talisman for sports? Interesting take on the whole thing.

yes, and lots of people say the hitler-hank is nice, but Gwnc says its bothersome, it is what it is, but I don't think she had to be so harsh lots of people compliment, but it is what it is, I didn't ask for her to be so harsh but i guess her avatar standards are high, but I think unfair, lots of people like it, plus beyond it being hitler it has a nice hat which she didn't mention.
