Fashion, News, and What Nots

*I was looking online, as is my way, and it seems a lot of designers went shopping in African Markets for Spring 2008:
Left to Right: Oscar de La Renta African Print Dress, $2,450; Diane Von Furstenberg Ariki Dress, $1,200; Kevan Hall Dress, price upon request.
But I wonder how much that fabric costs over there...
*Deal of the Day:
Michael Antonio Lilla Black and Pewter Snake Sandal, $46, www. lulus.com. Enter 'thefashionbomb' for an extra 15% off.
