Cheap Shit: I Heart LA Tee, $25

I’m really big on cheap shit and for being “ironic” on the streets of NYC, which is why I’m all for this Archrival  ”I Bleeding Heart LA” tee shirt.  Get it, it’s ironic cause your a New Yorker with an I <3 LA t-shirt and it’s ironic cause no one fucking <3’s LA!!! Yeah, it seriously sucks there.

Grab the tee for $25 bucks at 80spurple.

Play the Tourist

I’ve always looked at tourist in NY with a bit of envy. After a few years in this city (actually my whole life) the factors that make it so amazing to some seem to just fade into the background. Times Square starts looking like  a big advertisement, the Empire State Building like another skyscraper, and Lady Liberty looks as appealing as the one night stand you can’t seem to stop bumping into at your favorite bar. Fortunately, for those truly jaded by NYC’s magic, there’s this Tourist ready tee from Modern Amusement ($25). It’s perfect for feeling like a newbie while still being a Big Apple regular.

Banana Skirt + Jazz = Style Icon

Josephine Baker is one of my favorite feminine heroes.

Yes, she was a French exotic dancer, but few people in the world can make a banana skirt work on so many levels. We found this t-shirt at 80’s Purple featuring the style icon.

You can go bananas over it for $34 bucks.
