We love styling trends. This 2008 (both seasons, though more predominately for Spring 200 the styling trend is rolled pants. Let's clarify the technique first, that is, this is not folding nor tight rolling. The look is a bit messier, a little less type-A, and makes you appear as if you're two seconds away from jumping into the ocean like a crazy person. This Spring 2008, the young designers jumped on this trend (Alexander Wang, United Bamboo, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Preen, Y-3, and Sari Gueron to name a few), possibly out of a dependence on the skinny jean and a reluctance to embrace the new wide leg silhouette. Expect, for that reason, that those who wear skinny jeans will follow suit in transition. We love this trend because it makes us feel like a nerdy English tomboy (academic and rosy cheeked) and effects our gait such that we feel like stirring up schoolboy mischief. Our gallery of the trend, from Spring (and little Fall) 2008, below.
If you thought today was 1st March rather than 29th February, you should probably consider getting a watch with a perpetual calendar within the next 4 years, so you are prepared for the next Leap Year. Watchluxus picks two of the best; the Ulysse Nardin Perpetual Ludovico Limited Edition and Patek Philippe perpetual calendar with retrograde date.
Oh, New York, you're so strange sometimes. Last night we faced the freezing New York streets and popped into the Rugby Store for some popcorn and red wine. Yes, there was a book signing. As far as that goes, there was a poster of the book. That was about it for the book part. We asked around but no one, not even the handsome RL gentlemen, knew where the writer had gone off to. Per the RL Rugby aesthetic there were a lot of nice smelling, smartly dressed gentlemen hanging around, letting their good manners and striped ties give off the kind of warmth that makes you consider moving to the Cape and sitting in front of a fireplace with a book for the rest of your life. Quite cozy, it was. In the end, it was perfectly fine that the inspiration for our attendance, namely, the book signing, was lost in the shuffle. Ralph Lauren employs some of the nicest, well mannered people, quite unlike many in the business. As far as we're concerned, soaking up that prep aesthetic and those beautiful manners is a fine way to spend a freezing Wednesday evening. That's why such events are thrown, just 'Let 'em soak up the lifestyle and they'll come running back for more'. You know, if this weather keeps up, we just might.
Determined to perpetuate the glorious history of the first modern diver's watch (1953), the Manufacture in le Brassus unveils a brand-new Fifty Fathoms Automatique watch imbued with the brand's trademark understated elegance. Making a striking contrast with its black predecessors, it radiantly reveals its sporting assets through an immaculate white exterior blending tradition and innovation with pure, sleek lines.
With the 2007 regular season standings etched in stone, the table has been set for the 2008 season. Below is each team's opponents (home/away) for next year.
A new dimension for time travellers: 1 watch, 3 time zones, 4 materials: palladium, titanium, ceramics and rubber: with the Patravi TravelTec FourX, time materialises differently. Selected materials turn the latest complete watch movement from the Patravi collection by Carl F. Bucherer into a talking piece and design statement for watch lovers. The journey through time can now begin.

LOL…someone wasn’t on the ball on this one. There are some serious questions, but you know the clowns came out. People can submit questions via a web form then the questions are printed on their website. SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS Here are a few questions:Posted by Gail in Salamanca
Have you read Uncle Tom's Cabin? Honestly read it, cover to cover, yourself? How do you compare it to A Raisin in the Sun? Do you think it should be required reading for today's America? Have you faced racism growing up and even today in your adult life? With all your name changes and various identities, have you finally made peace with who you are inside and out?

In a genre notorious for short-lived careers and artists criticized for portraying negative images, how were you able to be different and beat the odds, and were there pressure from the industry and peers?
