This week we break down Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping, investigate China’s 72-hour visa-free visit program to boost tourism, discuss Christie’s first handbag auction in New York, and lament Kaarin’s terrible cold. We discuss the dress that rocked weather desks around the nation and debate why the JCPenney / Mango collaboration tanked. Is the Tupperware party alive or dead? Our main topic of the week is Aziz Ansari’s book Modern Romance. How has technology changed the way we connect with others? Come hang out with us!
Lisa’s on the lam this week, so social for EPISODE 53 will look a little different until she gets back!
This week in hot topics - Lupita Nyong'o’s pearl-laden Calvin Klein dress was stolen (and then recovered), Dolce & Gabbana had a hit runway show at Milan Fashion Week, and Gap named a new creative director. In other news, the SEC is seeking information from Alibaba for questionable business practices, and Europe is experiencing an upswing in American / Chinese tourists who want to shop. Our main topic is about clutter. Do we really need to unclutter our homes in order to find joy? Or, is it wiser to make do with the items we have in order to be prepared? Join us as we question how to deal with the “stuff” in our lives - including our clothes.
