Just wish the exchange rate didn't suck so much right now (don't we all). Why I can't I get paid in Yen!? :fu:

Not if you're paying full price for it. Never pay retail for AllSaints. Stuff goes on sale so often that there's no reason to.

I've never handled any of their knitwear, so I can't speak to whether or not it's a decent piece.

On the plus side, if you buy it and it sucks, you're only out return shipping.

Agree. Yes on all 3 of them, specially that last 3-button cardigan with the raw edges. Very nice.

also, the heel looks like it would make walking kind of slippery, and i live in a very hilly area. would it be possible to add some kind of sole grip without making the boot look ugly?

those are nice boots . . . how much/link?

i would add a non-slip sole to the bottom. might make the silhouette of the toe profile a little bulkier but not by any noticeable amount.

John Varvatos, lambskin for $650?


No, leather looks shiny/plastic-like, doesn't seem to drape that well for lamb, and with the exception of footwear JV quality typically leaves much to be desired. Check out TOJ.

I am never a fan of JV's plain leathers. He really shines on out there rocker pieces when Leather is concerned. Like that distressed leather trenchcoat from this season.
