This week we found blast from the past styles and electronics that have resurfaced as current trends:
Wall Street Journal writes about the return of preppy — club ties, Lilly Pulitzer, pants and belts embroidered with little whales or sailboats, Jack Rogers sandals. Preppy is back in full swing, but this time with a twist of loud pink and lime…for men.
Daily Candy calls out to shake what yo mamma gave you — especially when wearing shorty shorts and bubble skirts from Smart Fitzjerell. The debut collection also offers smart, ladylike day dresses that you can work well into the night. The latest and greatest preppy meets edgy.
Glam.com raves about New Line Cinema’s exclusive charity auction on eBay featuring costumes and props from the hit new movie, Hairspray. In addition to acquiring a snazzy ensemble and piece of movie history, you’ll be helping out a couple of worthy charities: City Meals on Wheels and the Harry Holmberg Memorial Fund. Hairspray dances its way into theaters today!
Splendora time-warps back to the good ol’ days of playing Pong on Atari and reminisces of how the times have changed. The Atari 800 in store demo will bring back old school memories of how cool pixilated video games and floppy disks used to be.
Geek Sugar nerds out over the “so 80s it hurts” MC-3 iPod Dock. Sure, you love an occasional Def Leopard or Cindi Lauper jam, but are you ready for the tube power amp, high-end Philips CD transport and Burr-Brown DA converter with shameless 80s style? It may be too legit to quit!
