Imagine your girlfriend showing you a pair of stylish shoes from Tamara Mellon she wants to buy (more like wants you to buy). You chat about them for a minute and then move on to other topics.

That’d be funny, except that these coincidences, if you can call them that, seem to happen every day now.
