VW Teams Up With Barneys for Limited Edition Cufflinks - Beetlemania

Filed under: Accessories, Vintage and Retro, Daily Obsession

Looking for a gift for that nostalgic ex-hippie in your life? For decades now, VW has enjoyed a cult-like dedication from hippies, hipsters, and young urban professional types. To commemorate the car company's involvement in youth culture -- and rake in some extra holiday cash -- VW has teamed up with Barney's New York on Madison Ave to launch these sweet sterling silver cufflinks featuring the '67 Beetle.

Designer label tattoos - brand loyalty gone wrong?

Filed under: Skin Care

Sure, most people aren't going to appreciate the artistic value of eyeball tattoos. Nor are they going to respect the low level of commitment or risk displayed by getting a tattoo on the inside of your mouth. But what about these corporate logo tattoos?

As our friends at Lemondrop recently picked up on, there seems to be a growing trend among hardcore fashionistas: commemorating their favorite designers in the form of skin art. One guy even has the Ralph Lauren polo player tattooed on his chest -- presumably underneath the more common stitched version. Sure, Chanel's shoes are fashionable, but is it really fashionable to wear the double C logo on your foot? Or is it brand loyalty gone wrong?

Aren't tattoos supposed to represent something personal -- like documenting clues to your wife's mysterious murder? Wait, that's from Memento. Seriously though, we can totally understand how much people identify with fashion designers, but aren't their commercial icons better left to the outside of their clothing?

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

Kenneth Cole likes nerdy cuff links

Filed under: Accessories, Men

As you might imagine, fashion bloggers spend a big portion of our lives on the interweb -- constantly getting distracted by marginally funny nerd humor. So, the last thing we want to see is a fashion designer descend into the world of geekdom. That's why we're a little turned-off by these Kenneth Cole Reaction "Don't Worry, Be Happy" cuff links that feature emoticons. Not only are we slightly annoyed at the happy/sad face icons, but why reference a song that's so great and influential that your cuff links will pale in comparison?

We're pretty sure that very few of the people who would want these actually own a French cuff shirt. What's more, if someone does go through the effort to wear cuff links, we seriously doubt that they're the type who finds emoticons to be cute. Maybe we're wrong, maybe execs at Google are buying the hell out of these things. We liked the periodic table cuff links more -- but still not very much.

Marilyn Monroe has a sex tape

Filed under: Celebrities with Style


Who's the star of the next scandalous celebrity sex tape? Kristin Davis? Paris Hilton? Perez Hilton? The answer is none of the above. The must-see celebrity sex tape of the month features the mother of all American sex symbols: Marilyn Monroe.

According to the NY Post, the only known copy of the infamous FBI sex tape -- showing Marilyn getting hot and heavy with an unidentified male -- was sold to a collector for $1.5M over the weekend. So, when will the footage hit YouTube? The collector says that it will never see the light of day.
