Social Media and Purse Hunt Update

You might have noticed that I've changed things around a little on the site.  I've moved my social media links towards the top of the left sidebar so it'll be easier for readers to find us on Facebook and Twitter.  You can also now follow this blog without having to scroll down towards the middle of the page...

You might remember a week or so ago, I asked readers for their advice on which bag to get.  It seems that over on Twitter, people were leaning towards light grey Mia.  I was all set to buy it this past weekend when LO AND BEHOLD, it was NO LONGER AVAILABLE, at least not in the two Coach stores I went to (hello Eaton Centre and Bloor Street!!).  According to the website, the bags are available in black and brown, but they aren't really colours that I want.  So now, I'm looking at these:

Mia Patent Maggie (graphite and silver is above.  The bag also comes in cranberry and silver as well as leather)




More Coach...
The Mia Patent Carryall is similar to the above, but a little smaller (ever sooooo slightly).  Also comes in leather.

Coach at ShopStyle

The Madison Leather Convertible Hobo.  Comes in four colours, including "clover leaf".  

What do you think?

LOFT and "Real People" on Facebook

Recently, LOFT posted pictures of staff wearing the same style of cargo pants on Facebook.  The "models" varied in size, ranging from 5'3" to 5'10" and sizes 2 to 12.  This caused a burst of comments on their Facebook page and in the general blogsphere, and were both positive and negative.  There were those who congratulated them for using "real" women, yet others who said that it made them NOT want to purchase the item.  Question to those people: So you're saying that you would purchase the item if it were on a tall, slim woman, even if you looked more like the employees in the photos?  Does.  Not.  Compute. 

One issue I *DID* have was photo quality - some of the images looked like they were either taken with bad lighting (and/or an older cell phone camera).  I am not looking for perfect pictures - I realize that the photos are snapshots, not professional images which have been edited - but it could be a bit better.  However, I am very happy that a store has answered to its followers' requests for using "real people" rather than professional models.  We get to see what things look like on us!!
