  1. As a Notre Dame alum, I can tell you that The Observer will publish AAAAAANYTHING. Including from alums and parents. Especially clickbait.

  2. Cap Hill Style said there was a brouhaha about a comment on her site that was from a conversation on another blog. Anyone know what she’s talking about? I thought it might be this blog but I don’t see any conversations here about her lately. Thanks!

    1. There were two comments with tons of traffic yesterday and the day before. I already regret telling you this because those threads really should just fizzle out already.

    2. ? There’s been conversations about this each of the last two days. And someone posted almost your exact comment during one of those conversations yesterday….

      IDK who she is and I don’t follow her but zero interest in rehashing this yet again.

    4. Omg where have you been all week? It’s become the most boring comments thread fight on the past 3 days of posts lol.

      1. I don’t follow her and some of the comments were dumb and kind of gossipy, but I’m sure she’s gotten worse over the years of blogging, so I’m not sure why this would mention a shout out except to get attention.

    5. There were several threads on it this week – yesterday afternoon was one, IIRC. I have never followed that blog, but suddenly I know WAY too much about it, haha.

  3. In good customer service, they honored my return out of the two week window (my MIL died unexpectedly, and I missed the window by a week). It was a sale item so it’s refund in the form of a store credit. Any styles people can particularly recommend? I got a pair of the Fortuna flats, also on sale, but haven’t worn them yet because: winter. My feet tend to be wide in the toebox so a lot of their pointier styles wouldn’t work for me. Just curious if anyone has some faves.

  4. I was very releived to read that over half of people 18-34 are still single, but what about older women like me. I am still in my 30’s but not for to long, and I do NOT have a boyfriend, and my chances for pregenancy are goeing down every day. If anyone knows a decent and otherwise eligible guy in NYC who wants kids tomorrow (almost), I am the one for him. Help!
