OZOcar
(28 October 2005) - Yesterday we read about OZOcar over at Charles and Marie and loved the idea so we decided to give them a shot for this morning's trip to the airport (en route to Seattle). With a fleet of 30 hybrid vehicles, OZOcar is New York's first eco-luxury car service. We were picked up in a clean and comfy Prius by a polite, professional driver. In...

Shop Gentei
(26 October 2005) - Shop Gentei, the concept store that opened October 1st in Baltimore, Maryland is the brainchild of 28-year old designer Oliver Jones. Two years in the making, Jones waited until Baltimore's scene could support a themed boutique - currently Military, the theme will change bi-annually - that carries limited edition sneakers and off-the-beaten-path streetwear, like his own Slyandrobby line and Japan's Mackdaddy. Thanks to Jones'...

Belleville
(20 October 2005) - Belleville, like many of Berlin's stores, is a multi-use space that provides more than just innovative fashion for men and women. Look closely at the bird in their logo (a large-scale replica graces the wall of the store) and you'll notice it's composed of mini-icons of death, war, and commerce. Since opening last December they've been hosting events featuring DJs and live music. Stocked...

Berlin Bound
(17 October 2005) - I'm off to Berlin, well-prepped with Very Style Guides (pictured), suggestions from a German expat, and friends to visit. Nearly 10 years have passed since I was last in Berlin and at the time there was a palpable sense of a city reeling from one of the century's historic events; every other building seemed to be under construction, the art was amazing, and, by...

Tattoo Culture
(30 September 2005) - There are at least four tattoo shops within spitting distance in central Williamsburg. After hearing rumors about one opening a couple doors down from Oslo (my favorite local coffee spot), I noticed someone in the space on the walk to get a morning cup. I went in, introduced myself, told him about Needled and he said, "Oh, Marisa," referring to Needled's editor, "I'll be...

(20 September 2005) - Luxe's new handmade red box packed full of 12 of their mini-guides to Asia makes the massive continent seem almost manageable. As we've noted here before, their concise descriptions, spunky tone, and conveniently pocketable size, are user-friendly answers to their bulky counterparts.

(19 September 2005) - Further proving Burton is as much about fashion as it is function, they've just opened a store in the heart of SoHo. Situated on the corner of Spring and Mercer, the store includes the full range of products from each of the Burton brands: Red, Anon, Analog, Gravis and of course Burton.

Blag
(15 September 2005) - Neatly solving a toss-up between putting hip-hop balladeer Common (pictured left) or Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd on the cover, British magazine Blag chose both, placing the former on the front and the latter on the back. That kind of casual innovation is the norm for this arts-and-culture tome, founded over a decade ago and produced by twins Sarah and Sally Edwards. The most recent...

Tokyo Bound
(30 August 2005) - On a recent trip to Tokyo in addition to the new cool stores, there were some cultural practices that stood out. When people are sick, or avoiding pollen they wear facial masks. I was in Tokyo at the beginning of Spring (just before cherry blossoms, needless to say, my timing is always off) and everyone was wearing them. It is totally normal. And in...

The Henk
(09 August 2005) - My fantasy savings account was started for a Chuck Close commission. Then it was a jet share. Now it's for a Henk. Having logged several hundred thousand miles and several hundred hours traveling, you can't help but design your perfect suitcase. The mysterious Mr. Henk did, and it is an object to behold. It's a lightweight carry-on that you can sit on. Fully retractable...

Banksy on Holiday
(08 August 2005) - Globe-trotting renegade artist Banksy has hit the Middle East, armed with only spray paint and his brazen political wit. The renowned graffitist chose the Palestinian side of Israel's "separation fence" as the target for his latest statement, a series of paintings that both mock the structure and peaceably inspire activists to work towards its removal. No stranger to high-profile stunts, Banksy has previously organized...

American Apparel Mexico City
(05 August 2005) - American Apparel threw a flea market-themed pre-party for its first Mexican shop last month on Mexico City's Masaryk Street (their take on the Champs-Elysees). The event launched a campaign by the Mexican photographer Napoleón Habeica who produced a series of images with the distinct American Apparel "everyday sexy" vernacular that make even me blush. (The one pictured here is the least naughty of the...

The Ten Year Hotel
(03 August 2005) - Shipping container mania continues, this time in the form of students Lee Ferguson and Jonathan Whittaker's concept hotel that incorporates the temporality of cityscapes into its design. The 26-room building suspends the containers as self-contained pods within a steel beam grid, enabling both adaptability to changing surroundings and a sunken bar/concert area on the ground floor. via Hotel Chatter...

Wooooo Zine
(27 July 2005) - Co-founder and editor Jason Crombie wants his new pocket-size zine, Wooooo, to be "funny and stupid," which is pretty much exactly why I liked it when I found a copy in a Nolita restaurant the other day. Distributed in and around the Lower East Side, the (almost) quarterly publication runs interviews of people who, even if they exist on the mainstream radar, aren't usually...

Plein Air Movies in Barcelona
(05 July 2005) - In BCN (as local expats call it) I've experienced some of the hottest, stickiest Summer nights. That kind of weather doesn't stop Spanish partiers, but sometimes the best way to cope is to do nothing but lounge outdoors screen-side. Cine Sin Techo is a free alfresco series held in Barri Gótic, a section of narrow streets and tall, crumbling buildings that is part of...
