Weekly Recap: July 20 - 26


Every Sunday during college, my girlfriends and I would gather at a local eatery (also known as the dining hall) and spend hours recapping the crazy nights we'd just survived. In honor of these "brunch recaps" as we called them, I've decided to provide my faithful readers with a roundup or "recap" each Sunday of the week's most talked about and intriguing headlines in fashion with links to the original articles. It may not sound as exciting as your friend's tale about waking up on the floor of a stranger's apartment...with no shoes, but I promise you some of the stories are just as juicy (ANTM's CariDee and her craigslist sublet disaster for one) and exciting (Jimmy Choo's new line for H&M-two)! If you're a little behind in your fashion news knowledge, read on.
