We can all agree that $250 for a plaid button-down top is too much. Such was the case with Lauren Conrad's cute, albeit overpriced, Elizabeth and James shirt. Alas,

I started you off with these
Minnetonka Suede Moccasins ($38) because they kept my toes cushioned and happy as I painted the day away.

Gap Inc., which owns Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy,
recently held its Holiday 2008 collection presentation in NYC, and Fashion Wire Daily showed us some of the holiday goods from the three retailers. With

At the higher end is Banana Republic, who will offer oodles of evening looks, including a Prada-inspired lace dress.
