But other than that... everything is fine???
This morning I went into what passes for "downtown" in our tiny little coastal village, and the streets were filled with teensy trick-r-treaters and their parents. (Only the little kids were in costume.) It's an annual tradition. The Saturday before Halloween, all the stores in town give out candy to costumed children between 10AM and 2PM. The kidlets rush in and out of the stores, screaming "TRICK OR TREAT" at the top of their tiny lungs, grab their loot, then rush on to the next store. There are (count 'em) 70 stores in our ittle town. They all participate.
It was awfully cute. Set me up for a good mood for the rest of the day.
Everything besides everything is dandy.
It sounds like you live in a real life Stars Hollow.
Except it's too warm for a hockey rink.
We do, however, have a gazebo. It's right across the street from the library.
And TWO (not one) retirement homes.
And the bookstore closed.
Just to clarify: I had to google Stars Hollow. That's why I sound so educated.

Do you also have a diner owned by someone resembling this, minus the hat
who isn’t likely to morph into this
because if so I’ll be there Tuesday
No such luck. The diner is owned by a very sweet married guy named Dominic, who runs it with his equally sweet wife Mary.
I don’t think there’s anyone in town who looks like this. More of a SoCal look, wouldn’t you say?
The ugh version is definitely SoCal. The plaid shirt version is more Oregon. Few guys in SoCal look like they can chop wood and not lose a hand.
Hope everyone is doing well and that those who celebrate had a good Thanksgiving! [emoji884]
Have bought more clothes than bags recently. Got excited and almost bought a MJ bag from YOOX yesterday that I thought was an additional 60% off. The discount had already been taken off, so not as good a deal as I first thought.
Thought this was a good read. Makes me excited to see what the future holds for MJ.

Thanks for the link. Interesting article. Confusing direction. I'm basically a hermit crab but I'm still 95% sure grunge is not a thing again and isn't going to re-become a thing.

Thanks for the link. It was a fascinating read. But... um... is it just me, or is their new approach to their "product lines" really, really, REALLY confusing? I guess I can only hold two ideas in my head at one time. Marc Jacobs. MbMj. Done.
About the single-brand concept, Marechalle and Jacobs are both committed to it, albeit with a considerable caveat. The collection will now be developed in two distinct parts, Runway (with a capital “R”) and, a larger, more accessibly priced component, the “designed to wear” offerings, with different labels. Runway looks from the show will read “Runway Marc Jacobs” on separate lines with the date of the show in between; commercialized looks will carry the word “Runway” but not the date. Designed-to-wear product will have specifically designed labels. Case in point: “Redux Grunge Collection 1993/2018 Marc Jacobs” stacked in five lines.
Yes, well, I had the same reaction, but I figured it was because I'm no longer young.Which bag was it?

What demographic do you think will buy these?
No, it's confusing, and I don't understand why they're making this so difficult. They already had super super super easily identifiable labels for their collections and everyone knew the difference. Why are they starting from scratch like this?
A runway tag would have been nice under the original collection line, though. It wasn't always easy to tell which pieces were actual runway pieces. That would have been an simple little add on, but why do that when you can just burn it all to the ground and lose a majority of your customers instead.

I said that it was an interesting read, I didn’t say that it made sense! [emoji23]
Agree that the branding is very confusing and that this particular line is somewhat of a miss.
Happy that Marechalle seems very supportive of MJ, at least in this article he seems to be. Hoping that the future holds some good designs.

Some of the designs are not that ‘grungy’. I like slip dresses. I like this one. There’s no way that it will end up in my closet at this price though.

I'll be supportive for a quarter of what Marechalle is probably being paid, too
