Introducing the newest style icons from Herve Chapelier: Mary Kate and Ashley Olson. Last week, the twins of Full House fame were spotted on TV, Chapelier totes in tow. Recess speculates the girls used one of their paychecks to snag the overpriced bags, first spotted in Paris. Starting last fall, Herve migrated from the Eiffel Tower to Clocktower, sitting next to salads and Stairmasters en masse. Pretty soon, it was an epidemic--everybody wanted an ugly handbag.
A visit to NYC revealed our Columbia counterparts wanted nothing to do with Herve, but the twelve-year old bluebloods at Spence were all over it. Guess we should have taken the hint back then. Now it's too late: The tweeny-bopper set has seized this trend in full force, and we implore you to put down the handbag. We know it's hard. That's why we're here. Relax. Reflect. And when you're finally convinced that it's time to give the bag to your little sister, remember the good news: Lulu Guinness, Coach and Northface are having sample sales this month.
(Still not satisfied? Try adopting an Afghan camel. By rescuing a hapless animal from the Taliban regime, you're doing your part to help the war effort. The way-cool beast of burden can fit all your schoolbooks, and even three friends on its back! Afghan camels are cheap, require very little food and water, and are sure to be the next big Trend for the stylish Duke girl. Get yours today!)
