You know that girl you always see in the elevator – at the Ace – on the train, who always looks so fashion-y in an ‘I just threw this on’ sort of way. The one who, sure, might have the coolest wardrobe ever, but who, you tell yourself, must have some sort of diagnosed personality disorder, collect potatoes or perform skits with her cats? Well, she shops at Pixie Market.
