Top Five Most Memborable Oscar Years
With the 82nd Academy Awards less than a week away and the Oscar season in full swing, I took it upon myself to construct a list of the top 5 Oscar years ever. For the past eighty-one years The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have held their annual Academy Awards ceremony, honoring the achievement in motion pictures over the previous calender year. Some years have been quite strong, others relatively weak, while still others have been simply outstanding. Presented here are what I believe to be the superlative years the Academy has put forth.

In the know.-Eric Goldstein – Jean Shop
Since recommending a pair of Jean Shop Rocker Fit jean’s last week in our Upgrade 2010 article, we figured we should give a little insight into the brand itself.

When I was 21 I started working at Ralph Lauren and actually established the RRL brand shortly ...
Upgrade Your Wardrobe 2010
2009 definitely had its highlights in style. We saw guys everywhere putting more thought into how they dress and realizing it may, perhaps, in some stretch of the imagination, affect how the opposite sex may think about them. On top of this new style consciousness there was a new focus on quality, historic brands were revitalized and there were more and more guys walking around in what looked like well fit lumberjack wear. 2010 is going to be a year for the style history books.

Our main focus is the customer and delivering great products at great prices. People are ecstatic about finding a high quality $80 needlepoint belt. Traditional retail distribution has prohibited us from doing that. Read more…
While last year you may have realized a pair of selvedge denim, grey sweatshirt and leather jacket were not only classic but looked good, this year its time to upgrade those few pieces you may have bought in trepidation. This year is all about expanding on the last, taking those classic pieces and giving them an upgrade so you’re a little more 2010, not 1910 (or 2009 for that matter).

I’m not sure what style of design best fits my personality. I am moving in February and want to totally start over with new furniture/design. What publications/websites do you suggest I look at for inspiration?

Dear Debonair: I have a small studio apartment. I like to paint at least one wall something other than white. My fear is that it is going to make the apartment feel even smaller. Any advice on what colors ideas I can do to open up the room and use a color other than white?
