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.
Been There Done That: Gabriel Urist For Daniel Guzman Necklace
Hmmm… As if we havn’t seen this before. This is the new “Esclavo y Amo” necklace that Gabriel Urist designed for Daniel Guzman. The only problem is that they are way behind on the design, and way over on the price. This necklace will cost you $500, or you can go to Neiman Marcus and buy the MARC By Marc Jacobs “Fan” necklace for $62 and feel much better about yourself.
You can buy the bracelet too can still save around $300 too.
Marc Jacobs isn’t the only one to use this look either. We have seen similar products from Chanel and Juicy as well in the past. Is this a timeless trend and I’m th eonly one over it, or is this totally last year?

Dazed and Confused
Whenever I see, shorts and shorts and Converse I think of the movie Dazed and Confused. If you haven’t seen the film-it’s a bout teens in the 1970’s driving around Texas and getting hammered. Here are two retro pieces that are always in style.
