The Most Beautiful Place in the World

So, that's a hyperbole, but I'm on a consumerist high right now. Today I went to the new Barneys in San Francisco. It was lovely. The store itself is so calming, the music is softer, the colors are softer, and the people there are actually nice whether you look like you are going to spend money or not, which is more than you can say for some other stores (I'm looking at you, Neiman Marcus) but they don't stalk you like you are going to shoplift (Bloomingdales).
I spend a lot of time (too much, really) on-line shopping. I almost never buy anything, but I know what is out there and where to find it all. But, I need to see the stuff in person to really appreciate it, particularly clothes and shoes where the texture and weight are so critical. Also, the perfumes were amazing and I am in love with several of them.
So now, in a series of posts, I will show you the things that I saw today and loved (and even the one thing I bought!).
