I realize that the now cult-classic film, Donnie Darko, has been at the front of everyone's favorites list for quite some time now. There was the original and then the director's cut, but even more interesting is the extensive website complementing Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal's unforgettable film.

Secret passwords and Roberta Sparrow's book will either answer the 100's of questions or create 100's more. Either way, it's a must view for any DD fan.

Saks? Too mainstream. Barney's? Too high profile. Lucky for us, Seven, the New York super boutique, has reopened in their new space on Mercer. A subterranean space is lined with racks upon racks of togs from the fashion world's favorite indie wonders.

Expert tailoring by Boudicca, the skinniest jeans by Tsubi and A.C.N.E, and the muted palette from Myself by Kai Kuhne are just the tip of the iceberg. Jewels from House of Waris (designed by the Life Aquatic star, Waris,) and accessories by Natalia Brilli round off the spectacular mix.

Not in NYC? Seven now has an online boutique for their favorite out of town customers.

1 More Magazine...

It's 2006, yet other than the amount of advertising and the quality of stock, magazines have been in the same format since the dark ages. Fly put an end to that and brought magazines from paper to DVD. With designs from Boudicca, YSL, Marc Jacobs and Cloak and video interviews with Ryan McGinness and John Malkovich, Fly takes magazines from Pret-a-Porter to Couture.

Each short features one designer and is meticulously shot and mixed with a soundtrack so stellar, it could stand on its own. Nine music videos, six interviews/documentaries, 14 fashion films and over 90% original content, don't be surprised if the entire afternoon passes before you can break yourself away. Subscribe for a year and get a new DVD every quarter.

1 More Accessory...

Like a guady grandmother or MK Olsen, I can't get enough accessories. Dripping in necklaces, armfulls of bangles and even a waist wrapped in chains and belts are a requirement for every outfit worn. With an ode to minimalism and references to the celebs plastered on the covers of every weekly gossip mag, Alex and Chloe are the cool kids' answer to the Tiffany tag necklace seen on every sorority girl's neck.

1 More Drink...

As yall know, I spend quite a bit of time "researching" bars and the drinks they serve. Lucky for us lushes, Cocktails by Jenn make it easier than ever to drink alone. No more resorting to Sparks or vodka mixed with whatever is left in the fridge. These cocktails in a bottle need nothing more than a quick chill and in four flavors, it's a classier version of the wine cooler.

Jeremy Blake

You know him, you just don't know it yet. Remember PTA's Punch Drunk Love? How about Beck's quartet of album covers for Sea Change? Yep, all Jeremy Blake.

Blake is most well known for is DVD's and C-prints, but also has a wide arsenal of paintings and sketches to his name. He works with current pop culture images and intertwines them with historical references and utopian ideals, all blended with surreal color changes the seem to bleed from the screen.

His work has consumed the walls at the Whitney, MoMA and Museum of Contemporary Art in L.A.

So there's the good, here's the ugly. The Libertine, despite having hotness Johnny Depp as its star, made me feel dirty.
