Tipped

Tastes like shit when I kiss her

September 23, 2008

Try as I might it’s hard for me not to like Urban Outfitters. They sell brands I can tolerate like Levi’s, Lee, North Face, G-Star, Wrangler, Penguin. Their stores are brilliantly merchandised making it easy to imagine, easy to find stuff, sizes. The staff are always helpful and efficient. And they sell this rose lip balm my wife likes so I can always get points for getting her a little gift, though as I say, it tastes like shit when I kiss her.

So if you’re going to waste money on clothes this is my top Tip.

US UO vs. UK UO

January 26, 2008

One word... wow. Even though I live about five blocks away from an Urban Outfitters in the states, the UK UO had a very different selection of clothing.

I love the funky urban edge of the brands that UO carries. It's definitely young and fun. But amidst all the shelves are classic pieces as well that you could wear all year long.

Apart from the US UO, most of it is the same kind of vibe, but the actual clothes are very different. There is always more of a selection when the brand originated in Europe. For example, when I looked at Cheap Monday jeans I found a wider range of cuts, sizes, and washes.

But I have to say that I'll save most of my money for the US UO because of the exchange rate. But when things are on sale in the UK UO, it's more for your money.
