SATURDAYS NYC BLOG
March 17th, 2010
You don’t need to be a pro surfer to shop at this new concept shop; you may just love caffeine—the entrance to the Soho storefront doubles as an espresso bar. Grab a cup o’ joe and peruse the stock of aquatic accoutrements, or relax on the outdoor deck in the back. You’ll find all the gear you need to hang ten, including high-end surfboards, stylish wet suits, accessories and more. Also on hand: RVCA clothing, Strong Hold denim, Spring Court shoes and Tommy Gun hair products to give you that wet beach look. (Time Out New York)
Inside the NYLON Office…
March 17th, 2010
Though we keep regular business hours, the NYLON HQ isn’t quite like your average office.
One day the Noisettes are playing an impromptu jam sessions, the next day Jared Leto is standing beside you, asking about where you bought your headphones.
But while there’s no dress code (except an unspoken rule that you can’t come in wearing a power suit or tights as pants), this outfit from Priorities is pretty much the ultimate office ensemble.
Vintage-inspired dress? Check.
Studded blazer? Check.
Nerdy-but-necessary glasses? Check.
Only difference between what you’d see in the brand’s spring ‘10 lookbook and what you’d find in the office?
Our heels are about three inches taller. xxRebecca

THE OFFICIAL LOGO OF NEW YORK CITY SEX
March 17th, 2010
You are looking at the logo of NYC’s official condom – in the shape of an electronic power button. The design, by Luis Acosta of Kew Gardens, Queens, was revealed the other day as the winner in a contest run by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. NYC Condoms, which are free, became the nation’s first municipally branded condom when they were introduced on Valentine’s Day 2007. The new design will be available in the fall.
