If there is one thing I love when it comes to furniture is duality in design. An ottoman that can store some magazines? I’m with it. And with the Aeralist series by Cleveland-based Objeti, I know have an option when choosing between a great table and seating for your guests. (more…)
Ah yes! If you live in NYC, you know the the Calvin Klein ad space in SoHo is basically a really large canvas for soft-porn, unattainable standards of beauty and sweaty models, and has been that way for….actually forever. Whether it’s models engaging in an orgy, or Eva Mendes making us hate her and her bikini wax, New Yorkers just look at it, yawn, and then go to H&M down the street. But now that Parisian by-way-of Nigeria David Agbodji is the new face of CK…we can believe in New York street advertising again—just look at him! Stephen Klein outdid himself with the photography, but then again—David would look good with just a Kodak disposable camera. SoHo shopping trip anyone? Here is hoping that he is coming to a city near you. Want more David X CK – click on through, we’ve got the campaign after the jump. (Kinda sorta NSFW) (more…)
What: Audrey Coat, $129.99
Who: Cheap Monday
Where: Need Supply Co.
Why: A wool coat with a great cut for less than $200 is a steal regardless, but we have the feeling that your fab level may rise a notch while rockin this. A nice way to stand out in a sea of black pea-coat variations.
Remember those fab pom-pom hats that Diane Von Furstenberg paraded down her Winter 2009 catwalk (pic at top)? You can get an original one over at Matches right now, or head to Etsy for this not-so-original version by Couvert. I would probably be down to grab this one if the model’s facial expression didn’t read “get me out of this friggin’ hat.”

Remember when we told you about The Hook Up? Since we are never they types to buy without trying, we called some friends and decided to take two of the purse hooks out for a little cocktail-driven Parlour test drive at The Bowery Electric here in NYC. Mawuse Ziegbe of AfriPop Magazine and Suemyra Shah, our future attorney both took time out of their busy schedules to see if the Hook-Up lives up to the Hype. They also had a little “morning after” time with their hooks, so we followed up with them to see if any magic had faded.

Because I am rarely home to watch TV anymore, Hulu.com has become my friend, my confidant and my go-to guy. However since someone has to get paid out of the deal, I have found myself sitting through this same ad by Jeep in support for the 2010 Wrangler. At first it was just an ad…now, it’s more like—a nemesis, with friends and multiple versions!
Other than a hot deep-house track by Vick Lavender, I wonder -what’s the sell? Obviously Jeep is going after women with money to burn and a car to buy…but clearly they underestimated the value that women, especially women with unruly hair, put on that time spent in the stylist chair. (more…)
