Let's face it. Being single around this time of year can be a bit, well, challenging. Thanks for the reminder, every-other-single-TV-commercial, that "Every kiss begins with Kay"- I'm pretty sure I was fully familiarized with the alphabet back in kindergarten. It can be a time of year that once again brings that roundhouse kick to the face that jolts you into your single reality. There are various instances in which this happens during the Holiday season, which I will discuss in greater detail below.
Shopping.
Shopping is a multi-faceted reminder of "Hey, guess what, you're still single!"
Exhibit A: Crate and Barrel, Michigan Avenue, 2pm, Sunday afternoon.
There is a long line, shockingly. I stand in line, clutching a corkscrew and a set of wine glasses, a gift that I know my fellow single friend will appreciate, Often. Behind me, a happy couple so dapper, both dressed in their matching North Face parkas and Burberry scarves, is obviously purchasing a gift for another couple. I poke my head over my shoulder to see the gift (and of course, to eavesdrop).
Another step forward
The shoes range from $120 to $400 and include brands such as Tory Burch, Chie Mihara, Bettye Muller and Lillybee, Rempel's own line, which she launched in 2008. Amy David is a BizSense reporter. Please send news tips to Amy@richmondbizsense.com.
