Gilt.com totally messed up my Vena Cava order and I got a refund for the shirt. How very, very annoying. But... I just scored this really cute Rag & Bone boat neck tshirt dress in it's place. You know you want it.
Diane Von Furstenburg recently worked with Holts for their 'free canvas bag giveaway with the minimum purchase of $500' promotion, going on this weekend. We contacted Holts corporate for a bag to blog about it. This is the response we got:
Thank-you for your interest in Holt Renfrew! I have attached an image of the bag that you are able to use for your blog post - we would love to see the link. We hope you will both be able to visit Holt Renfrew this weekend! Really? Let's see: the bag probably cost $5 to produce. (Though DVF was probably paid nicely...) Holts also promotes bloggers, but apparently only once they've made it big.
So here's the thing: what's a few dollars in the grander scheme of things when we're talking about brand loyalty? We shop at Holt's a fair bit and will probably continue to do so. However, you really have to wonder just how much your favourite brand loves you back when you're not worth a canvas bag, y'know?
Remember when wearing a pair of cotton footless tights meant you were cool? Well those days are over. Shiny, torn, zippered, sequined, graphic or studded - it's all about the embellished leg. Is there a better way to dress up an over sized tee and a great shoe?
