I love Lucky. I remember when it first came out. They did something radical. They didn't use famous people on their covers. They showed wearable clothes and boutiques that made me want to go out to shop. The people they dressed had that cool urban feel. Like they didn't spend a ton of time getting ready, yet looked effortless chic. Something I admire the french woman for. But that's for another discussion. Today I just wondered what happened to that magazine. While I still love the features and some of the clothes, it seems like every other top is over $200.00. Don't get me started on the shoes.
Then I thought, well maybe since I'm a mom, I've gotten a little more practical in my shopping habits. But then they came out with a magazine called Cookie, for the Stylish Parent. Hey, that's me! Or I thought so. Turns out, Marc Jacobs has a line for the little one. I can get my four year old a zippered hoodie for $395. And while I would love to dress my daughter in cashmere, as well as myself and my husband, it remind me of this summer when I went to a design conference. No regular name tag badges there. We had to put something that no one knew about us. I put My Name is: Susan, and I'm good at making cheap clothes look expensive. After all, there's nothing wrong with the Gap.
