How many of ya'll know what I'm talking about? This is my second time buying it and I really like some of the tips they have. As far as the clothes go, I take stock of what is hot, but buy them from somewhere else lol. I'm not spending $1,500 for a coat or $2,000 for a suit lol.

last year's edition was the first one i had ever got a chance to thumb through.

there is definitely some good stuff in there but the prices are with out a doubt modeled for that success you're dressing for :laugh:.

i might have to check out this year's edition.

Last year's was my first, too...i just picked up this year's a little over a week ago. It's definitely good. Next year they're coming out with two editions.

Like I said, I just get the ideas from there and go to Nordstrom's, BR or somewhere a little more affordable for me lol...you gotta be making that long bread to afford the stuff they're advertising.

I thought about picking it up last week. I might this weekend.

And I do what you do Bun, actually with anything fashion related. Just look through to get ideas and work it into my budget.

Vibe is also a sleeper for fashion. I subscribe to that as well.
