KOBE
We won't necessarily label Agyness Deyn's Barneys capsule as good, but we won't necessarily label it as bad either. For some odd reason, we feel as if we seen this all before. Was it at Uniqlo? Or, was it Club Monoco?
Either way, Agyness' I Am By Agyness Deyn for Barney's Green capsule was launched s exclusively for the Kobe, Japan store opening - in addition to the 20th anniversary of its Shinjuku store. Out of the 17 piece bevy, we only liked four of them. Perhaps others will be more receptive to the spring-like tanks, scarves, minis and breeze-through dresses., though we wouldn't think it a very wise choice if you're accustomed to go underwearless. Follow our do's and don'ts, likes and dislikes, of the collection:
- Do as a model does: secretly test your design skills with an alternate market way far over yonder before launching a full collaboration to walk a Bryant Park runway. Erin Wasson, who?
- Don't create t-shirt mini's for yourself - as a runway model - whilst selling to an Asian market. The height difference might be an issue.
- Do have qualities of your personal celebrity style when launching a "fan capsule." Thus, we are certain that we'll appreciate the bevy more once we see the items layered in typical Agyness fashion.
- Don't go completely green on your fanbase, as they haven't heard the words "green" and "eco" roll off your lips since your starlet image was launched.
All in all, we love Agyness Deyn, and wish the collection the best. If you are seeking to purchase from the label, a trip to Japan will do if you are too pretentious for Ebay.

Burger
joints in NYC are almost as common as Starbucks these days, and the promise
of the ultimate burger is almost as frequent as the promise of the world's best
cup of coffee. Various eateries boast that they serve the biggest burger, the
most innovative burger, or even the most
expensive burger. More often than not, restaurants fall short of their
burger promises, leaving us lost in the search for the elusive title of Best Burger.
Enter BLT Burger, Laurent Tourondel's casual burger restaurant with LT's
signature service and quality ingredients. BLT has mastered the delicate
balance of a neighborhood casual dining experience, while never skimping on
product quality or attentive service. BLT Burger is a great go-to restaurant
for almost any occasion, and for those who frequent BLT often, the menu offers enough variation and specials to keep regulars from getting bored.
Diners who want to keep the bill down and get the most bang for their buck should order one of the three combo meals that include the classic burger, fries and
either a soda ($15), milkshake ($17) or a draft beer ($18). The shakes at BLT
are velvety smooth and sweetened to perfection, with flavors as basic as
chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and coffee or as intricate as the Twinky Boy (vanilla ice cream, Twinkies and caramel syrup),
Cookie Monster (chocolate chip cookie dough ice
cream and chocolate chip cookies), or the Lunch Box (vanilla ice cream peanut
butter and grape jelly). This classic burger is everything that a burger experience
should be, with the quality 100% certified Black Angus beef (a mix of sirloin,
short rib, chuck and brisket) cooked just as you asked, and a perfectly spongy
bun to hold the masterpiece together.
