Hi–happy to find your blog via Make Do Style! I don’t like the bell sleeves either; it’s a testament to the designers’ iconography that people are in line to buy the jecket . . .

Maybe my Goth legal blog would be more successful if I could incorporate some weird Goth thing with my mom. I’m thinking book deal.

Anne- are you from the Vogue Australia forums? I love that place.

I can feel how nice it would be to wear that expensive thing where I live. The 50 kilometers per hour wind would go through that bell sleeves easily and you could freeze so nicely after paying one and half times my mensual mortgage for that… COME ON.

Firstly, I love your blog. Am such a fan!

As for Jane. I hate everything she represents but it is so bad it’s good! I keep going back for more! I laughed when I saw the coat. It is hidious. The pouch is revolting and the sleeves…SO unflattering. How could one design something so truly terrible? I wouldn’t pay $1 for that let alone whatever exhorbitant price it will sell for. I find it kind of sad as well that they didn’t even meet the designer and did it all via phone. The best thing about collaborating with someone is the creativity and energy you get from sitting across from that person and bouncing ideas and energy off each other.

I can see why they got the book deal – people always want to know how the rich (and now famous) live. But Plain Jane would be nothing without Old Judes. Old Judes is the powerbroker here IMO. She managed to get a good settlement from Daddy to help fund their lifestyle and she is the driver behind the blog, the marketing, the contacts…at least that is my theory!

Those sleeves just don’t go with the rest of the coat.

I have to admit something. I follow Jane on Twitter. She’s even more comical on there. She posts pics regularly too.

Opps she did shoes! I meant stick to blogging about shoes and nothing else.

Dear Sea of Shoes, someone shouted at me and now I really don’t like you.
PS that pouch thing Toast did it a few years ago on a belt it was really really nice and Argentinian.

Oh, please – when she stuck to shoes, she just ripped off other designers and stuck a bow on it. More proof of the old adage “you can’t buy style.”

However, I do like the pouch. But it’s silly on a trench coat of all things.
