I’m SO excited. The recession is allowing these reputable designers to make affordable wear. I’m a huge fan of Roy and I look forward to her new collection for Macy’s.

The lower-priced line is dubbed Rachel Rachel Roy and is slated to debut in August 2009.
Anna Sui Collection for Target is inspired by the Hit CW show Gossip Girls with characters Blair, Serena, Jenny and Vanessa.
The collection is slated to hit 250 select Target stores and Target.com from September 13 through October 17. Hopefully it will land in the Issaquah Target. Anna Sui for Target will have “the elements of art, city, spirit, punk and glamour.”
What do you think? It looks a little peasanty/amish to me..
I think I donate about a trashbag of clothes every year (at least). Instead of donating to Plato’s Closet where I can’t stress enough how bad their customer service is- I would just donate it knowing that it will serve a better cause than trying to make a couple bucks off a shirt that might mean more to someone that may need it.
Newcastle Arco gas station is where I donate my clothes which is located on Coal Creek Parkway and the Newcastle Golf Road.
