Since breakfast tends to occur a tad on the early side for mingling (see earlier Macy's breakfast post), the folks at Austin's new Tiffany & Co. hosted a cocktail reception last night to celebrate one month of business. It was about my seventh trip to the Domain, a funny thing since I've never been one to frequent luxury shopping centers - as the following anecdote illustrates.
Always on the lookout for my next Street Cam, I stopped a pretty woman in a green dress (Zac Posen, as it turned out), who was one of a handful in the room actually trying on the jewelry. She was already wearing all Tiffany for the occasion, I learned, from earrings to necklace to ring to brooch, and just looked smashing despite being a mother of two young kids.
As we talked about her favorite places to shop (Neiman's - collectors' section) and her favorite designer (Missoni), she complimented my dress and asked where it was from. For a second I was set to drop the name of some chic boutique, but I always lie terribly so I told her the truth - Forever 21. (I didn't tell her it cost $24). "What's that?" she asked, to my amusement. I told her it was kind of like an H&M, and she looked surprised."In Austin?" A few minutes later, as we were wrapping up, she complimented by necklace, which had a black braided cord and an oversize gold heart pennant. "Forever 21 again," I said, sotto voce. "You have to check it out."
