Bloomingdale’s has a great “buy more, save more” sale going on right now — take 20% off if you spend more than $250, take 30% off if you spend more than $500. These sales are great times to strike if you happen to have your eye on pricey handbag or tote — one item in your shopping bag gets you over the limit, and the rest of your order reaps the benefit of the same discount. Today we’re liking this taupe tote from Kooba — it’s marked at $575, but comes down to $402.50 with the 30% off discount.

Wish there was a Bloomingdale’s closer to me… Doubt I would hit $500, but $250 … hmm, well, maybe it’s a good thing there isn’t one within thirty minutes!

25 of these or one Birkin?
Make mine a Birkin.

So with you – actually putting my pennies in a separate account to by my first – and if I get this next promotion, I’ll get it sooner rather than later!
I have a fun Kooba that I love….

Looooove it.
sheila
lust, lust, lust . . .
As to the above, who has 25 all purpose handbags at once?? I can see maybe having that many if you toss in evening clutches, beach bags and travel bags at once, but a birkin is not going to go all those places.

Poor dear, you don’t?

Not everybody is rich or a status-[blank] like you.
How incredibly rude and condescending.

I think Interrobang was kidding.

That was obviously a joke

LMAO @ this whole exchange.

Pretty! I love a good Kooba. So many bag sales, wish I hadn’t already speant all of my clothing budget (stupid mint.com).
Anyone else read this article? I’m not really buying into the whole idea, but it is interesting.

It’s interesting, but I do think it downplays the wage gap at the higher echelons… the fact that the few women CEOs are paid more than the average CEO hardly fixes the fact that there are so few…
Thank you for sharing!

I had the same thought. The evidence is more at blue-collar level – fewer manufacturing jobs, more in-home nursing jobs, etc. Still, interesting.

Younger (I would say under 26 or so) women who have not read Susan Faludi’s Backlash should do so. It talks about the “cycles” of anti-feminist statements in the media that crop up every 20 years or so. It’s been going on since way before the women’s movement of the 1970s, and it was about due to come back around again.
During backlash cycles (although it seems like the “cycles” are a little closer together these days) there will be these types of stories, about how women are “taking over” and masculinity is being “devalued.” This article was more pro-feminist than many we’ll probably see in coming months/years but it’s the same message that’s been recycled by the media for a long, long time. All it usually does is foment more “angry blue-collar guy” sentiment from certain quarters and then we’ll start hearing more about how men need to “take back their place” in the home and at work. Some may not remember, but the Promise Keeper movement was born out of the last backlash and got a lot of press, although they never actually had that many followers.
It’s the old conservative fallback position – when you can’t plausibly blame the world’s woes on anything else, blame feminism.
The comment threads on articles are always more informative and more amusing than the source article. Underachieving men predicting the end of the world because more women are going to college. I’ll believe the theory of the “female takeover” when we get male/female 50/50 balance in both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, the list of Fortune 500 CEOs, we end gender pay inequality, and we have a female president. Until then, I’m not convinced. Too many women are still being shunted into “pink ghetto” careers where they get stuck making less money than men in comparable roles. We’ve come a long way, baby but we still have a long way to go.

ah yes, the Promise Keepers. I think Deion Sanders joined after his wife left and took the kids.

Grrrr….I went onto Amazon to purchase “Backlash” and I somehow wound up puchasing 5 books! I can’t wait until the Bar is over and I can actually read some of them :)

I hate Amazon for this specific reason =)

The bias to selecting girl babies (when a choice is made) may come from a desire of parents to avoid sex-linked genetic disorders, not from any feeling about the relative positions of men and women in society.
jcb
Yes, there are quite a few broad assumptions in that article.

DYING for this bag!!!

RRrrr. Now I see maybe 3 bags at Bloomie’s that I want to get. Arr.

Never understood the bag fascination. This looks beautiful but bags just aren’t my thing (which is just as well, given that my penchant for buying clothes!).

Funny – I am the opposite. I could wear daily some version of black top/black trouser or black dress…but shoes and bags are it for me…. I’ve been proactively working to add some color to my wardrobe over the last 5 or so years, but even still, lots of black, charcoal grey and chocolate brown…

great bag
