Ahh that explains a lot

I’ve always been a little confused with sizing, depending on the country of origin (not the places where these items are actually made) they are different. A size 7.5 in the US standard doesn’t translate to 38 oversees like I assumed. I saw this chart on the site luisaviaroma.com and thought I’d post it for your information.

i got: Houndstooth Sweater Dress from Joe Fresh

Houndstooth Sweater Dress from Joe Fresh I’ve been looking for a sweater dress since the beginning of the season. I only have a tank sweater dress and nothing with sleeves. I was passing by the Steeles and Keele Supercentre and stopped in to find one at Joe Fresh. It’s actually 70% lambswool which totally surprised me. It’s cute though, we’ll see how long it takes to get destroyed though. I picked up a striped sweater dress from H&M too. I’m surprised at how much I like it. Both were under 30 dollars.

Roberto Cavalli for H&M

Published by

The collection is up at H&M now. There is an exceptional amount of cheetah prints. I think it’s awful, but I’m sure people will want to buy it. I do predict more of this stuff lying around than the M by Madonna collection. Here is a video from H&M that shows some of the clothes, it’s pretty cheezy be warned. It’s hits the stores on November 8, 2007. Am I the only one who thinks these designer collaboration are so done now? video: hm.com
