Vera Wang at Kohl's

I cannot believe I get paid to give my opinions. I truly love my job! Check out the latest article waxing poetic on the launch of Vera Wang at Kohl's department store.

"And I never shop at Kohl's. I don't even know where one is."

I know the last quote sounds sorta snobby, I truly have only been in Kohl's once and that was to buy a gift card for my Grandmother. But I didn't end up buying her one there, I opted for a grocery store gift card. More useful I suspect.



Anyhow, my colleague Norm thinks the quote is appropriate. Since I represent some idea of fashion knowledge for Pittsburgh, is it fitting that I do not shop at Kohl's? I bet even if I did know where it was, I would not stop in to browse. The last company I worked for, we sold product to Kohl's. They all got returned to us because they were burning people, that's a whole other chapter.

Many people express the same wonderment of Vera's decision, however. Shirley, recently shopping for beds, browsed the Vera Wang collection of mattresses. Shirley deduced there was a link to Vera Wang's cache from wedding gowns to the matrimonial mattress. And I suppose there are people who could register for a bed, but that might be kinda weird from your in-laws. But heck, Vera's got china, crystal, and now t-shirts at Kohl's. Does seem to be a bit of a stretch. http://verawang.com/ Onward, fashion!

I heart New York




As Sharon, er Meatball Momma, reminded me, this photo was taken last year this very weekend in New York City.
Here's Sharon with one of our many new friends at a late night diner. He's a big boy!
