...And all this time I have been trying to figure out how to say 'Moschino'...

It's extremely important to understand how to correctly say designer brand names (oh goodness, I'm so bad at this!). I found this list on dulcecandy.com, and I think it's pretty helpful. As a random side note, I am SUPERSUPERSUPER exited for London anad New York fashion week. If you don't know already, every London Fashion week show will be broad casted live online at Londonfashionweek.com, and Marc Jacobs will be doing the same thing on his website Feb. 15th at 8pm. YAY! So I'll need to pop some popcorn, grab my camera and a notebook and drool over Burberry Prorsom! Sounds like a fun week...
