Lock it in with shapes that shift and sit in opposition to the curve of the wrist. Severe lines offset concentricity and give us every reason to cuff them. Pop one on your arm and let your look take shape.

Yuck, looks like the kind of day that’s going to rain all over a parading day of city cycling. The sky has turned to murk, and that means a mucked up outfit or a plastic poncho if you’re still planning on two-wheeling it to work. Bicycling has become so chic, what with its environmentally sound nature and efficiency for navigating the city, especially Brooklyn, but fresh rain gear for said cyclists has been a sad search. Which is why Yurika Nakazono and Marie Saeki did just what proper, frustrated New Yorkers should do. They created their own, well made and fit for a feminine body with a helmet: Terra New York.

William Okpo is the brainchild of sisters Lizzy and Darlene Okpo for the contemporary, confident woman. Named as an ode to their father whose killer style has always been an inspiration to them, the Okpo sisters have garnered a lot of attention in the past year. The brand is sold at Opening Ceremony in NY and LA; they have become street style stars for their amazing wardrobe, accessories and long locks; and they recently teamed with Brook&Lyn to create a cape and pouch. We caught up with the Brooklyn-based design duo to find out what it’s like working with a family member, their current muse and guilty pleasures.

It’s getting to be that time of day once again. Hungry? Neither are we (so chic), but we are really loving this faux commercial for Brunchables. Developed at Oscar Mayer‘s Brooklyn headquarters, this packaged meal is perfect for that special time between noon and 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays when you’re hungover and starving for some booze and locally purveyed calories. When breakfast is blah! and lunch is lame!, you need Brunchables to swoop in and rescue your tastebuds.

The Lake & Stars lingerie designers Nikki Dekker and Maayan Zilberman are seemingly stirring the pot with their Fall/Winter 2011 campaign. A mother and daughter duo move in close for the photos, but people are saying it’s a little too close for comfort. Zilberman chose the women for the ads, her neighbors in Brooklyn, after seeing them constantly interact with a loving and tender manner. Right wing teetotalers like Fox News of course have their panties in a bunch over the whole thing, but we don’t understand why. It took a minute to get used to, but we’re kind of actually loving it. And DUH, they are both stunning.

A couple years ago plaid shirts came back with a vengeance. Many thought it was another trend but it seems these patterned tops are here to stay and we’ve picked a few that you won’t be embarrassed to wear all the time.

I would rather call this delectable-looking treat a sandWISH instead of ‘wich because I am dreaming of it right now. From the Good Batch at Williamsburg’s weekly Smorgasburg market, these mouth-watering, heat-relief treats are a steal at $5 a piece.

One of our favorite reads at FashionIndie, New York Magazine, just came out with its “Cheap Eats” issue, including 20 mouthwatering pages with the best food under $25 in New York City. Being in fashion and all, we frivolously spend most of our hard-earned cash on clothing and accessories. But that doesn’t mean we resort to street dogs and bad pizza (ewww). Over the course of three days, we will show you where you can get a cheap tasty bite while wearing the outfit you splurged on. Today, a weekend in Brooklyn.
