Oh, those lazy hazy crazy days of summer…..why not find a lovely overly air-conditioned store in which to spend some quality time – here are a few hot picks for this week, and yet another chance to WIN BIG --
D’MONI is a welcome addition to Watchung Plaza, with mid-priced sportswear and those fabulous colorful tiered skirts that have become the “it” item of summer ’05. (Note to the amply-hipped: proceed with caution.) Watch for lots more designer labels such as Theory, Shoshana and Sevens into the fall.

WIN BIG - ONE LUCKY BARISTANET READER will win a $20.00 gift certificate to this lovely store. First to answer this trivia question takes it:
In what month and year did Nat King Cole’s Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer reach #6 on the pop chart (its highest ranking)?
ALEX – is now on “double” sale, which is frankly the only time we even allow ourselves to take a tiny peek into this ultra-high-end designer showcase. Items that were originally marked 30% down are now marked an additional 50% off of the sale price. So if a perfect pair of capris were originally marked $200, they’d now be a mere $70. (Why is it that we can do percent math regarding a sale instantaneously, but all other percents are like a foreign language??)

Mixed reports on COLD STONE CREAMERY – ice cream A+, singing C. We just don’t think of ourselves as in the heartland here – can we drop the hokey routine and just eat ice cream? Seems like a tip disincentive program to us (they only break into song when someone throws some change into the tip jar). But a certain someone was humming “I Love Waffle Cones – Put Another Tip in the Tipjar Baby….” all the way home.
