What We're Reading - J.Crew's Upheaval

Print Media

Great piece in the New York Times' Style and Fashion section on J.Crew. It seems the once "accessible version of high fashion" is facing a bit of an upheaval.  Some in TCC had been turned off to J.Crew for more customer service related reasons, however the article makes sense as J.Crew ceased to be the go-to store it had been a few years ago, and there are lots of young professionals and moms with strollers at J. Crew Factory! It seems the discount stores always have a way of undercutting the retail.

Politics Becoming Popular Spectator Sport

Image
Politics TCC started down this road with a post yesterday, Funny Response to Trump Tweetstorm , that was a GIFF poking fun at White House press secretary Sean Spicer's response to President Trump's cell phone usage to tweet. Politics seems to be a uniting force, both pro and against Trump, on social media and in everyday conversations with Americans commenting, "Did you hear..." "How about..."  "Can you believe...." Stephen Colbert , host of CBS ' "Late Night with Stephen Colbert",  has moved from 2nd place to 1st since the inauguration of Trump. Other late-night hosts are also experiencing a boost in ratings as it appears Americans are using these vehicles as either proof of political views (confirmation or conspiracy) or just as a coping mechanism. Each day Trump seems provide new fodder for late-night television hosts to sink their teeth into.  clipartfox.com

Harry and Meghan's Wedding Left a Lump in Our Throats

Aside from nearly being brought to tears on several occasions, we did manage to maintain a lump in our throats for the better part of the day. The dress was stunning. Her hair was perfectly imperfect and Meghan was naturally regal! A first kiss #RoyalWedding pic.twitter.com/EWJO22iWLh — Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) May 19, 2018 We all took Harry to our hearts so many years ago, and hope their love will be fruitful and last forever. Best wishes to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex . The Duke and Duchess of Sussex depart Windsor Castle for a reception hosted by The Prince of Wales at Frogmore House, in a silver blue Jaguar E-Type Concept Zero.
