Yes, it is the Rebecca Taylor sweater from the other thread. No one online seems to have it in the right colour (they call it 'strawberry cream') and size (I need a size Small - everywhere has petite, medium and large but no small in pink). I actually ordered it from Belle Gray but after they put it through on my cc I got an e-mail saying they were sold out (grrrr! that is getting SO tiresome from these online shops). Given my location (middle of nowhere, Canada) I don't know of any bricks and mortar stores that might have it - if anyone has any info could you post the name of the store so I can look up their number and call them? Any online resources would help, too - I've already checked Shopbop, Belle Gray, Daszign, Shoplastyle and Revolve Clothing. Thanks.

This sweater from Banana kind of reminded me of it, esp if you added some cute rhinestone buttons:

Wow. OK, so I've just been on the fashionista equivalent of a damned Everest ascent. Honey - I called *every* boutique on that list. From top to bottom (which meant Googling for the phone numbers - it took over 2 hours). No one had it, although I did get a number of "oh! we just sold the last pink one yesterday!" reactions. Argh. I found it in size small and yellow at Coco Pari in NJ and Wish in Boston, but no pink.


Then I called Belle Gray, who said oh, we screwed up, we have it! So I did a happy dance. Then they called back. Oops, they do not have it. I am sending them my therapy bill.


Anyway, this story actually has a happy ending because at the very end of that list is a boutique in Toronto, which I thought would not have it and ... they did! One left. Pink. WAHOOOO!!! So I got it (it was US$302 because of the exchange rate - America - PLEASE get that dollar back up there!) and at this point I don't even care that it was $20 extra. I am going to wear that damned sweater all day every day.


Morals of this Story:


1. Belle Gray SUCKS.


2. People in Illinois and North Carolina and Texas are super, super friendly.


3. I am an obsessive freak.


4. The Shelagh boutique in Charlotte, NC were *awesome* - they called the NYC head offices of Rebecca Taylor to try and special order it, they looked up other possible boutiques etc. Just wanted to put a good word in for them because their customer service rocks. Ami Ami in Chicago were also way helpful and cool.


EDIT: Thanks Karina and Mara for posting, too. I am waiting to see if that eBay auction gets a bid or not...the pink seems to be more popular than the yellow, which you can still find for retail (the auction is above retail).

Mia, I'm so happy you got your sweater!


I passed by Belle Gray today but didn't stop in (because I was rushing to a job interview) but I thought of you. I'll stick a middle finger in their direction for you, though.
