Shopping alert

Mark Jacobs lace dress available at MyTheresa.com

SAG-related shopping alert.  You can buy this retro lace dress, worn by Helena Bonham Carter in a half-hearted attempt at normality, for a mere E4910, which is about $6,000.00 American.  I'd say save some money and buy this variation on the theme by Proenza Schouler,

which I think would be more flattering and is a mere E1398.  Or you could save lots and lots and lots of money and get this lace dress,

Well-mannered Minx Dress at modcloth.com



which is possibly more flattering than both of the high-priced choices above, and is currently on sale for $132. Ah, bargain hunting. It's a good thing.
