If you're into fashion nostalgia, you've got to check out what Sak's has going on in the Decades of Style portion of their website. The new feature allows you to do a little shopping time-travel -- browsing through clothing inspired by the fab decades of the 20th century. Whether you fancy yourself a 20's flapper or a 60's mod type, you can search for you're look in chronological order.

This is a really cool idea and I think other stores should rip it off. I wish they had something like this for the men's website -- it makes finding things way easier. I couldn't help but notice that they left out the 30's and 40's -- I guess they didn't think anyone would want threadbare styles from the 20's?

P.S. Does anybody know who they've got pictured as the 50's icon?

There's something that just isn't quite the same about making your friend a mix-CD, or a playlist on the computer. I miss cassette tapes. It's the only way you can force the listener to sit through the entire musical "experience" you've created, rather than letting them skip past the 10-minute, spacey jam track you thought would be bitchin' at the end of side 1.

If you feel the same way, never fear -- we can all bask in a little nostalgia together with the cassette wallet.

Basically, it's a tape with the guts taken out, and replaced by zippered pouches for all your cards, cash, etc. As an added bonus, because each wallet is hand-made, you can pick which tape you want your wallet made from -- so you don't end up looking like geek with all your money in a Barry Manilow cassette.

It's $43, which seems a little pricey, but these are way cooler than some generic leather wallet. I say go for it.
