RAY BAN
With spring right around the corner, it's time for everyone to take a load off and relax in some nice warm weather. Packing can be daunting, especially if it's a short getaway! It's all about fitting a versatile pieces into a small space. With all of this said, we'd like to make your packing (and vacation) as pleasant as possible with some key essentials that will help you gather your gear and head into your spring vacation in style.
Sunglasses are obviously always a must-have when going on vacation. However, if you are like the rest of us shopaholics, you probably have more than one pair. Am I right? Stick to the most versatile pair- we recommend the wayfarer style that Ray Bans have notoriously honed. However, if you want to branch out, don’t necessarily stick to the classic black or tortoise shell rims, go for a brighter color or floral print. It’s a shape that will forever remain in style, in a color or pattern that is super trendy for the now.

“A style destination” is what co-owner Chris Bair had in mind when he opened Public Service, a men’s store in West Hollywood. Chris, who also owns the attached Shorty’s Barber Shop, wanted to provide his clients with a one-stop shop where men could find what they need to look their best “from head to toe.”

Guests included Joshua Jackson, Kevin Bacon, Diane Kruger, Robert Buckley, Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Ed Westwick proving this is one party where it’s cool to wear your shades at night.

Editor’s Note: Found outside American Apparel after purchasing leggings to wear in the blustery Manhattan weather.
What brings you to Manhattan?
I’m on holiday to NYC for one week, and I must say - this city is more spacious as opposed to the condensed feeling of France.
So you’re enjoying you’re stay?
The people in NYC are friendly, the architecture is beautiful, the shopping is great.
