fashion :: dazzled in effort

After reading "Can we talk about...Gucci", I feel as if I have connected with Claudia Winkleman on a level I never would have expected. I want to be that "44 year old..." who writes like that about a designer brand.  Maybe it's merely the wannabe journalist, the over-analytical, ex-English Language student in me, but ahhhhh.
