The Gap and Audrey Hepburn...
She was very laid back in her clothing when working with Unicef - trying to separate herself from the glamorous movie star persona so that people could focus more on the work.- Vanessa

The Gap and Audrey Hepburn...
Everyone said the same thing about the Gap swing commercial. Gap using the lindy to promote khaki pants?! Brian Setzer singing Jump, Jive N Wail?! Outrage! How dare they promote the swing subculture on national tv! But seriously, Audrey's estate licensed her image for the commercial so...- Vanessa

My Gramma (and great-Gramma P) always said never to wear rings over your gloves. A bracelet would be ok if not removing the gloves to eat at all.- Vanessa

Visiting Chicago-- where do I shop!
Browse their website first. When they had a shop on Halsted, their employees were rather touchy about anyone handling items. I, being the fabric-aholic that I am, neeeeeeed to 'pet' things before I buy them. . .and that was a definite no-no. But that said, they did have some wonderful pieces...- Vanessa

Visiting Chicago-- where do I shop!
The Flashy Trash located on Halsted closed down a few years back. Towards the end it was mostly 60's & 70's vintage & modern 2nd hand with a few 50's gems thrown in so I stopped browsing. Not sure if they relocated or just closed permanently.- Vanessa

Visiting Chicago-- where do I shop!
Hi there. . .PM me when you're in town, maybe we can go shopping together. :) Beatnix tends to have a lot of novelty items (since it's in Boystown) and their basement is vintage - but it definitely leans more towards the 60's & 70's. Silver Moon has moved - they are a great store, but are not...- Vanessa
