December 03, 2009 — February 27, 2010
404 NW 26th Street, Miami FL

Clemente exhibition, the Goldman Warehouse embarks on its independent exhibition program. The Clemente exhibition is presented in partnership with Deitch Projects.

Tim Burton's retrospective at the MoMA opens November 22nd...wish you were here.

Tom Scott on Clinton St....tiny storefront giant knits. go.

November 6 & 7th pass by Two Bridges Trading, where you can buy fun jewelry, books, mixtapes and other fun stuff at 31 Oliver Street Apt 5D....I'm intrigued by everyone moving to Chinatown....

i know its a bit summery...but i can't resist a little Bongoesque revival...

I'm so annoyed, I don't think this is playing in Miami!

These Nine West Victor platforms are great for fall in Miami and on sale! I want them in blue too...

Since I am going back to Miami, and will be spending some time with my mom...I have begun an interiors blog, I know we'll both enjoy that :) Check it out.<

Giovanna Battaglia...to me she is one of the most stylish and elegant girls out there...she always adds just the right amount of eclecticism.

prefect hair and proportions by max doyle for vogue australia may 2009 via a glamorous little side project

I love these. Miu Miu Fall 2009. Awesome.

Next weekend we are celebrating Whitney's birthday and my return to Miami with a rooftop party. Wear some stripes!

If don't end up going to Montauk, this might be fun to check out.

This bedroom is awesome..the gold night table and sconce, the suzani bedspread..and the PINK! from This is Glamorous...

a gift from frankie, but mine is faux suede blue... love it hb....thank you.

via this is glamorous....an image from that last issue of domino that I quite like. In each issue they would take an outfit and create an interior space based on the outfit. This one is great. Light is essential in rooms, I have learned from not having windows in my living room :(

i've been wanting to have a pink party for a while...maybe a pink pool party...

Take me to suburbia...can't wait to drive again....going to Miami at the end of August!

The HAN boys have added clothing to the mix. In case you're feeling Blaa.

I wish I had this skirt so I could wear it to work today....

what's with the weather?

Last night on my way home, I stopped into the Soho Apple Store to hear graphic designer Keetra Dean Dixon speak about her work. I was a fan just from seeing the work on her site, but after hearing her speak, its incredible how much thought goes into her projects and how conceptual they are. She is also very inspirational, and talked about how she got herself to create more work that she enjoyed creating vs. less exciting commercial work. I liked her idea of making one-a-days, where she gave herself 24 hours to complete a project even though she claims many took more that one day. Anyway, I've written about her before, but check out her site again fromkeetra.com.

One day I'd like to have this wallpaper somewhere in my house. A bathroom perhaps. The original Martinique wallpaper as seen in the Beverly Hills Hotel.

I love the work of Wendy Bevan. She shoots polaroid instead of digital. The colors are fantastic, and the some of images (for Vogue Italia) remind me of what Cuba might have resembled in my grandparent's era.

Ara Starck, French painter and daughter of Phillipe shows off her style. From August 2008 Paris Vogue

I stole this image from Refinery29's twitter. I love it, and would like to wear things like this all the time!

I am obsessed with hanging stuff "gallery-style" and think i need to start collecting some frames. These are walls from Paul Smith's store in Notting Hill I think and one of Kate Spade's stores.

Clic Gallery on Broome Street is currently showing blown up journal entries of surfer Tony Caramanico. Each entry is dedicated to a location he surfed somewhere in the world, and reveals the weather, the mood, what he cooked, and who he was dating. I picked up the catalog for Frankie since one day he'd like to surf the world too and I'd like to come watch :)

One of the highlights of my trip was watching a bunch of kids pile out of the car above in the middle of a long drive to go bridge jumping. The wagon was bowling ball blue with a white top and perfect for driving to the beach.

I saw this book in Martha's Vineyard and I think I may need to add it to my collection. Summer perfected by the lens of Slim Aarons.

This lovely image comes from the Sartorialist, who is giving a workshop in Venice this week. His students were his subjects, and the photo is amazing. I am thinking of getting a new camera soon, any suggestions. I think I want a digital SLR. Your advice is welcome.

could it be true? the king of pop is dead?

The Guggenheim is showing an exhibit on Frank Lloyd Wright. We went on Sunday. I think this curtain was my favorite piece :)

Lyell is having a sample sale this weekend before closing its shop for July. They are set to reopen in August with the Fall collection.

Frankie and I going to our second Little Joy show tomorrow. Can't wait, although I don't know if its going to be as good at Bowery Ballroom as it was at Mercury Lounge, which was a much more intimate space. Either way, they are going to be great live.

I'm thinking of wearing a variation of this outfit over the weekend, seems fitting for Miami. I got the dress when Topshop opened and have yet to wear it. I call it the Banana Dress.

I am off to Miami tonight for the weekend. A friend is getting married tomorrow night, and hopefully I will get to sneak in some time at the thrift stores, with my family, and maybe some good dinner saturday :) I am excited to be home.

This rain in New York is killing me, so it makes resort wear even more desirable....Stella killing it.

this and some lovely day with friends. the perfect weeknight.

Vanina Sorrenti for i-D magazine via refinery29...gorgeous.

Next on my amazon wishlist..... GYPSET...because not only is the cover nice, but the lives inside keep that dreamer inside alive.

The perfect album to kick-off summer.

I know its still over a week away, but my friend's boyfriend just uploaded our pics from our last trip to Bimini, where I'll be heading back next weekend for Memorial Day. Can't wait.

This weekend a friend and i woke up at 7 am to find ourselves second in line for Domino Magazine's tag sale in Greenwich Village. I scored this lovely little lamp and a round wicker drum-like table.

the newest addition to my white shoe fixation.

get some cute loungewear at anthropologie like 80% off. i did!

um. the cutest thing ever. i'll never have blonde kids, but this makes me want one!

My friend Kristia is coming to town tonight, and Saturday she's taking me to this exhibit, in the Deitch Projects LIC studio.

I can't wait to see Valentino, the Last Emperor. Love red, love him.

Tomorrow from 6-8 Phillips de Pury is having their quarterly viewing for their Saturday@Phillips auction. Check it out.

I'm joining a contest to redesign the logo for the Miami Marine Stadium. This stadium is an institution in South Florida architecture, and was designed in the 1960s by a close family friend. It would be really cool to win!

Damien Hirst for Supreme. I'd like to get my hand on these for investment purposes. I happen to get my hands on one of the Jeff Koons editions and then saw it at auction where it went for over 1000% of what I paid.

Some white shoes and some light shoes from Acne.

p.s. the truck in the Lower East Side handing out TopShop New York Opening gift bags and possibly a gift card :)

TOPSHOP is opening finally on April 2nd here in New York. Of course I have to like the $500 dress.
Apparently the Heartschallenger kids are driving around their ice cream truck handing out gift cards and goody bags.

Cafe Select...I've been away from the neighborhood and was delighted to have coffee here today, the semi-new Cafe Select on Lafayette Street.

The folks at HAN add some more members to the family. The usual suspects will also be available in limited edition colors. If you don't have a job, you probably weren't wearing these at the interview.

I would love to get my hands on this. Its a compilation of all the images from the infamous Pirelli calendars from 1964-2007 designed by the Italian design firm LeftLoft. I think Frankie would approve.

I'm eyeing these Miss Sixty platforms for spring summer at Urban Outfitters, they look like good walking shoes for this town.

The queen. Put some Celia in your life.

Another perfect concept store from the Spade clan.

Samantha Pleet Spring 09 shot by Tom Hines. Lovely little numbers to frolic in.

red shoes. enough said. the sartorialist for style.com

I can't believe there aren't more images around of Goldie Hawn in 1987's Overboard film. Its a hilarious movie, but the costume design is what really blew me away. Over the top 80's resort, I love it. I've been on a beachy kick lately...but I'll be back in NY on Monday after 3 months away!

some goodies from forever 21. can't beat dresses under 25 dollars.

I've posted about Slim Aarons before, but the more I look at his book the more fascinated I become with his images. He's making me fall in love with red again.

20x200 offers this Christian Chaize print Praia Piquinia today. Act fast. Beach scenes are popular these days, especially when its 39 degrees in Miami.

When shopping is totally out of the question for anytime in the near future, a visit to the thrift leaves you more than satisfied when 20 dollars can get you a belt, a pair of python clutches, a fun skirt, some scarves, and a colorful beach cover-up.


Then my lucky eye, which never fails me, found this! Luckily Frankie saw my face and got it for me hehehe....Its perfect!

I was surprised to find a Marni store in a corner of Miami's Design District. Then I found out my post about Tomas Maier was a bit out-of-date, because he has moved his shop to the same 39th street where Marni is, and again, the store is divine! En Avance moved their boutique to the strip after 14 years on Lincoln Road, and Y-3 has also set up shop a few storefronts down. Its nice to see some fashion in the area that is primarily an interior decorator's hang out.

Check out Deerhunter's Microcastle, ideal for low key gatherings where you don't want your music overpowering conversation or for long drives when everyone else in the car is passed out.

This headboard was made from an old Indian blanket, found in Domino's photo gallery. I would prefer a more simple bedspread so the headboard and bedskirt stand out more, but this combination works too.

I want to be wearing this right now, towel on my head and all.
An image from Grazia via Coco's Tea Party.

Monocle is one of my favorite publications. Its content, design, and innovation are like nothing else. Now they've opened up shop in London's Marylebone area featuring products from their collaborations with fancy labels. This is one not to be missed.

I'm helping my mom decorate our beach apartment, and I love this mexican tapestry that can serve as a bedspread. From LaViva Home

I am in love with photographer Mads Teglers. Found it via Miss at la Playa

I haven't visited this little gem in Miami in a few years, but it always remains in my mind as the perfect beach shop. Tomas Maier's Miami Beach boutique is off the beaten path in an old Miami Beach home located in an area predominantly inhibited by tow trucks and photo studios. Here you can find Bottegas, Bikinis, and pretty much a finely curated stock of anything you might need for beachcombing with style. You can also find great books, cds, candles, and usually they have photo exhibit showing.

Photos from The Sartorialist.

If you're looking for a little wardrobe inspiration then pick up Simon Doonan's Eccentric Glamour. Barney's Creative Director is really quite entertaining, I'm pretty sure I was laughing to myself on the plane.

Kiss this year good bye, and how delicious would it be to wake up on the first morning of the year in this scrumptious velvet robe...Resolutions anyone? Although my status quo is far beyond anything to complain about, I know I have tasks to undertake this year, so for 2009, its going to be more about working and "refurbishing" those small areas I've let slide. Whether updating the portfolio or repainting my apartment, this year the To-Do List shall be conquered, so next year's resolutions can be a little more indulgent. Enjoy xo.

As much as I love the duo, things don't always work out between leather and fringe, then you see things like this walking the street and you're happy for them.

A friend, Harlan Erskine, has created this limited edition "holiday" print entitled "Guest Bedroom" and I think its pretty grand. I might be biased because Neon makes me giddy, and if you feel the same way you can find it here.

Looking forward to this book under the tree at my grandparents' house this Christmas, along with a few others I've already mentioned :) Domino magazine took the best of its material and put together this nice little decorating book. I used to spend some cash on fashion and design magazines, but lately I've noticed Domino is the one mag I get every month...The interiors they shoot are great, and lend for great inspiration. There's always the right amount of eclectic in each home they choose, I love it. I should probably subscribe lol...

I kind of love these leather skull keychains at Opening Ceremony with completely gratuitous pricetags...Its not Wal-mart, but they actually have a decent sale going on...I have a feeling they are going for a mini Dover Street Market look.

Coral kicks...not sure how i feel about them actually being worn, but I like the color combination.

I have a thing for lace if you haven't noticed. Love these.

This little Stella McCartney number would've been perfect for a holiday party next week :) Gwyneth wore it too. Oh well...and you should see the white one, I actually tried it on for fun...stunning.

C. Madeleine's is one of Miami's hidden spots for vintage. The 10,000 square foot store is divided by decade and will leave you browsing for hours. Aside from great designer vintage, they have a bridal section, a section for international vintage (think old school kimonos and ethnic costume).


In the recent W magazine featuring Bruce Weber's photos shot in Miami, Kate Moss and clan headed to the shop for a "fashion field trip"

Tonight is the opening night for Emmanuel Perrotin Galerie, I passed by the other day, its going to be cool, they have some funny little cars by the guys of GELETIN that you can actually drive!



O.H.W.O.W. is having its opening night tonight too, a few New York galleries will be showing work, they have stuff going on every night this week.



The Design portion of Art Basel week should be good around the Design District. Really great furniture design around these parts. Starts tomorrow.



Friends with You Fun house....always a good time.



Kristia invited me to the "vernissage" tomorrow..a little sneak peak action of the actual fair.



and of course the free madlib show on thursday :) plus a little Le Baron action at Florida Room!

Also want to check out Geisai Miami the "art festival" by Kaikaikiki.

Leaving for Miami on Friday for a little wedding business, turkey business, and art basel business. Can't wait.
p.s. I might be Murakami's mascot. More on that later.

Sunday Sofia invited me to check out PINTA: The Modern & Contemporary Latin American Art Fair up here in New York, some interesting works, some not so interesting works. A Nelson Leimer piece above. Skateboards came up again by an artist named Sofia Maldo, who lives in Miami if I'm not mistaken. She was doing a live painting, which was being auctioned off and the money is going to sending kids skateboards in Havana. Her illustrations, which I can't find anywhere online, are kind of interesting, like a Fafi girls living the favela life...

I picked up this book, 100% DM: A Book About Direct Marketing,not knowing what to expect. The Japanese like to wrap some books in plastic wrap, so you never know what you're going to get. As the cover states, its pretty much "the ultimate collection of fashionable lookbooks, pop-out invites, and printed promo teasers". If you save invites and paper like its your day job, then get this book.

Is it bad that i think these are funny? Ice ice...from Patricia Field

Saw a girl on the train with these. I think I love them.

Swavaroski has sponsored a 70th year anniversary of the Wizard of Oz (in 2009) and had some of the most notable designers design their own interpretation of the Ruby Slipper. They were on display at Saks during Fashion Week, and will now make their way to Art Basel. Definitely going to take a break for "the fine art" to check this out! Jimmy Choo, Moschino, and Besty Johnson's sketches above. They will be auctioned off next year to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.

amen.

Fabrizio from the Strokes decides to take on his own little side project. Little Joy. Its pretty damn good. Backstage above."Unattainable" is getting the rubs on my playlist.

A page from the Olsen twins new book Influence featuring my personal favorite Diane von Furstenberg.

I sound like a hater again, but not really feeling this album from the band the Bronx... i am feeling the cover though. I love flamingos, they remind me of home.

I'm not crazy about Erin Wasson, but her apartment is pretty sick.....

If you're ever looking for a little design inspiration in Miami, I recommend the Wolfsonian in South Beach. They have an incredible archive of artifacts and graphic design ephemera from the late 1880s to the end of the 1940s (Art Deco, I love you so) While you are there check out Dynamo, the bookstore/copy shop seen above.

The Sartorialist finds a lovely graphic designer in Moscow. I love the red accents and her blue nails :)

Thanks to a head's up from Jelsen, I made it out to the NY Book Fair today. Took my bike over to Phillips de Pury one more time to find a huge gathering of book lovers and book covers. As I was leaving I came across Michel Gondry signing his little paperback "You'll like this film because you're in it: The Be Kind Rewind Protocol"...anyway I had him sign a copy and since the line was no longer than me, he was drawing quick portraits. He gave mine and said in a lovely french accent, "I hope you don't mind, I drew you naked."

This Tuesday was the reception for Saturdays@Phillips at Phillips De Pury. The auction starts tomorrow, its kind of like pre-school for future art collectors, a lot of toys, street artists, vintage furniture, and photography. If I had some extra cash, there were definitely some objects of interest.

ps sorry if my music interrupts your currently playing track lol

My two coats in one pic... weirdddd.

Fellow freelancing from homers, Jelsen, Guillo, and I made it out to MAD today, the newly rebranded Museum of Art and Design in Columbus Circle. Pentagram's identity solution seen above. They had some interesting things, but I would have liked to have seen some graphic design somewhere in the collection, not just contempory art and lots of "crafts". Either way fun times.

A friend invited me to the Diesel's 30th Anniversary Party, for which the viral video is pretty amazing. Looking forward it, they have a pretty good line-up for the New York bash (1 of 17 going on simultaneously around the world) MIA, N.E.R.D., and Hot Chip will be there. Thanks whit!

Since my Danish friend that started this line is forbidden from coming back to the US for the next five years, its my duty to share his frames with you stateside. hankjobenhavn, the next best thing from Denmark since Frikadeller. Maybe.

Jelsen put me on to this, I've just been staring at this site on and off for the last 24 hours. From Keetra

My friend Jon invited me to see Santogold last weekend. Good show, love her style. This jumpsuit is amazing...

Its been a long time! Sorry about that, been a crazy month or two and in between I was Asia for three weeks so of course I have lots to share, but I'm gonna start small...

Illustrator Laura Laine, amazing stuff. Found her in a store publication called I.T. Post, from a shop in Hong Kong. Its a great publication..should write more about that later.

I was in invited this past weekend by a friend to stay at his house in Southhampton, and now I am all inspired to get domestic. Him and his boyfriend made delicious food, had a beautiful garden, and don't get me started on the cottage. I didn't want to leave the pool in the yard. At night after dinner I came across Slim Aaron's Poolside book, and am kind of obsessed with the imagery. Like the forward mentions, the pictures were taken in a time when people didn't have a care in the world, and tanning, drinking, and smoking came with no health warnings, nor did spontaneous romantic rendevous. Even if these people did have a care in the world, Aarons did a good job at hiding that from his lense. The women were so glamorous, fully made up to lounge at the pool, with their hair all done up and their giant sunglasses and scarves on their heads. I love it!!

Alphabet my Tim Fishlock. Another of those I-wish-I-would've-thought-of-that moments.

This Valentino striped bow clutch could add a nice twist to a formal occasion. You know how much I love all things Beetlejuice ;)

Amazing skirt, style in Paris shot by the Sartorialist. Look at the colors...

A look from Mayle's F/W 2008 collection inspired by the writings of Jeanne Moreau. Love the Japanese* prints and tropical colors for a winter collection.
*Speaking of which, I am excited to tell that I will be going to Asia with my parents end of August for 3 weeks! It will be my first time and would love to hear recommendations of things to see and do in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Singapore.

Acne Paper Issue 6 deals with Exoticism...must pick up this issue.

OakNYC is having its 30/40/50 percent off sale....

My sister has had this watch for a while, and while I don't think this picture does it justice and I'm not a huge Michael Kors fan, it looks spectacular on. It looks great with all black or white...the oversized all gold one is really nice too. You can get them on the Kors website.

I just spent a few days in Bimini, a small island in the Bahamas, with my family and got some much needed sun. To keep me entertained I picked up this book by our friend Poppy King, the Lipstick Queen. Lessons of a Lipstick Queen is the story of how she began her lipstick company at the age of 18, and how you can turn your idea into a business. Her story is very inspirational, and pretty much she breaks down everything you need to know (even the technical stuff) about what to do with your ideas. I called my best friend in Malaysia after reading the first chapter and told her to go order it!

A wool bikini from the 1940s at the Met. I will be heading to the Bahamas tomorrow for a family vacation in Bimini and how fun would a high-waisted bikini have been?

I pass by this shoe in the Catherine Malandrino window when I take the long way home from work, and suddenly I picture a lot of dancing in a tropical place (somewhere in cuba perhaps?) with good friends, amazing music and lovely dresses. Successful design that really does tell a story.

I'm a sucker for all things embroidery, especially from far away lands. Recently we've been overexposed to lots of beautiful Ikat patterns, making them a little less exciting. Suzani (above) refers to this style of Persian embroidery, which is slowly making its presence known on accent chairs and pillows. My mom has a giant one hanging in the entrance of our house, and its a nice way to cover a bare wall, without having to invest paintings, posters, and framing....ebay has some good ones. Image from AmiraRugGallery.

Greetings from Miami, I came into town for a wedding tomorrow and then hosting a lingerie shower at a pole dancing studio for a friend on Sunday. Anyway, in the spirit of Miami, I introduce Ambra Medda, I don't her know personally, but her sense of style is just the right amount of ecclectic, and recently Paris Vogue did a Miami issue, with a style profile on her. Not only is she gorgeous, but she is also runs Art Loves Design during Art Basel, held in the Design District. Basically the focus of her event is a celebration of contemporary design that just barely could fall under fine art, but more in the industrial design world. And she's not even 30 yet.

I am a bit picky when it comes to basics. For example Hanes white v-necks seem to flatter everyone but me. Same with tanks, I just have a hard time with them. Yesterday I found this one, and I think I might get some more. 5.99 on the Old Navy website. Trust me, its very flattering. Also picked up a cute linen skirt in the sale rack. oldnavy.com

I would be excited to get my hands on this. Maybe carlo can bring me a copy since he is currrently in Germany. Its the first issue of a bi-annual publication called Apartamento, dedicated to the living and working areas of people, that stay pretty real and aren't styled by a decorator (supposedly).

More white shoes. I saw a girl wearing these last night at the Le Book thing, and they looked so good. Acne Jeans Ziara.

Get one now, the very structured bustier. This one is from Bodkin, a new line based out of Brooklyn, we can probably find some interesting ones on ebay. While you are at it pick up Dita Von Teese's book, The Art of the Burlesque. She is insane, I love it. I read it two years ago (and got it signed by her at Harrods!) When she wrote the book she was still married to Marilyn Manson, so it may sound outdated, but she really knows her stuff. It breaks down the make up techniques of each decade, and the style of dress of each era. I don't dress like her at all, but it was cool to see the line at Harrod's full of girls that looked like they just walked out of a Dick Tracy movie. Not to mention she gives a great historical breakdown of Burlesque dancing.

I will be attending this tonight, even though I'm not really sure what it is, I guess just a networking thing. I have a lot of freelance stuff going on that I'm pretty excited about, and wouldn't mind meeting a few more people. I hope one day I can just work out of my apartment! I also wish I had made some new business cards...

I have been eyeing this book at McNally's for some time now, and I just might get it. Dressing the Home:The Private Spaces of Top Fashion Designers, its pretty much self-explanatory. DVF's ecclectic living room, Christian Louboutin's extravagant interiors, and Vanessa Bruno's Marais apartment, that is absolutely to die for. The images below are of the latter, but they are from an old British Elle Decor. I would never leave my house.

An image from the current exhibit at the Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin in Miami for Cary Kwok. Actually if you are Paris, check out the Aya Takano show. I saw it in Miami, and its amazing. I'm going to try to join my gallerina friend for their Paris opening in October where Pharell will be exhibiting his "chairs", should be a fun time!

I have only been to Milan once, so I really don't know what is where mapwise, but last time I was there I went to 10 Corso Como which is hands down my favorite store in the world. I just remember it wasn't in the center of town, which made an even more unexpected find. The own Carla Sozzani has a gallery (Galeria Carla Sozzani), a cafe, a bookshop, and the enormous boutique all in this semi-fort hidden under foliage. The compound also has a small hotel three rooms called 3 Rooms. Anyway, the store has everything, but well-edited everything, amazing jewelry, bags, shoes, books, furniture, and for me it is way cooler than Colette, yet doesn't get much hype. It helps that her sister, Franca, is the editor-and-chief of Italian Vogue. This is a MUST if you happen to be in Milan. I also love the hand-drawn logo, the whole store is black and white circles, dots, and designs. Apparently Carla's boyfriend Kris Ruhs did the logo.

The Alexander Wang/Uniqlo collaboration hit the stores this week, I picked up the black dress, but I need to get it majorly shortened..for some reason (aka my height) the hemline hits just below my knee lol...
photo from teenvogue.com

Fell in love with this Lyell "Tap Suit" at the store this weekend. This nice picture doesn't do it justice.

Carlo's early birthday present, so fun to ride, I think I want one too. We're just trying to figure out where to keep it, because its a bit bright to keep on the street, so unfortunately it would probably get stolen.

Picked up a lot of vintage this month..


From my last visit to Flamingo Plaza in Miami.

The naked lady carlo had to carry around all day hehe.

Carlo and I had a nice Sunday in Ft. Greene with Jenny and Soren, first stop at the Brooklyn flea, which was packed. Jenny picked up some dresses and a nice bag, I picked up a portrait for the apartment. Then we went for corn and too many frozen margaritas at Habana Outpost...followed by a visit to Jen at Bonita. Back in my neighborhood we hung out on the rooftop with the neighbors and had late dinner at Lovely Day. Great company!

I really like Alyssa Norton's jewelry.

Acne Guide dress and Rachel Comey shoes via Totokaelo.com

OAK is making markdowns....They just put out their second issue of their publication "oakazine". The art direction is cute, they hired some swedes to guest edit/design it but its not very original. Its like the urban outfitters copy of ACNE paper.

cute ring at steven alan. they also have nice vintage jewelry.

I pass by this shop all the time walking on Lafayette, and its so dark and intense that I find myself often intimidated. The funny thing is, I think this is one of the coolest stores in New York. Bess. It used to be a Keith Karing store but is now the home of Doug and Bess Abraham's amazing jewelry designs. He apparently is in charge of the Ralph Lauren jewelry collection, but you would never know bc this store is anything but waspy. Aside from the jewelry, they have vintage t-shirts, random posters and sculptures, and my favorite, their studded collection of jeans and shoes.They play good music too.
