In last night's episode of Man Shops Globe, Keith Johnson traveled to South Africa, where he was on the hunt for not-so-typical African crafts. After stumbling upon some unusual pottery and a handmade wooden dining chair straight out of a Van Gogh painting, he wandered into a magical art collective shop called Magpie , which sells knickknacks and décor made entirely from recycled objects. Be it a lid to a dog food can, a wine cork, or a Barbie, the eco-conscious craftsman turned the disposable into the extraordinary. Johnson was blown away by a tall, dramatic chandelier made from found objects, trinkets, and castoffs, and ordered one for Anthropologie.

The Flintstones would be so proud to see how their Stone Age fashions have influenced some of fashion's best. Peep Jeremy Scott's Spring '10 collection to see what I'm talking about. The quirky designer featured an awe-inspiring line based off the hit '60s cartoon complete with bone barrettes, bright colors, and animal prints. No doubt, Wilma and Betty would be super stoked to wear his kitschy confections. Thankfully, you don't have to buy designer to achieve the Flintstones' archaic look. Seek animal prints, faux-fur vests, and natural chunky jewelry for sexy Stone Age appeal — Wilmaaaaa!

Starting today, and for the next eight days and nights, designers will parade their spring 2010 collections on catwalks all over New York City. And scads of publications will provide comprehensive coverage of the new designs streaming down the runways. But instead of doing our version of Vogue or style.com, I wanted to focus on the vast but underreported world of used clothing, encompassing everything from chi-chi consignment stores where wealthy women hawk designer duds to homeless ragpickers.

Despite the fact that I've passed on wearing any sort of jewelry my whole life, I'm suddenly craving big, statement-making necklaces. Elaborate beading, bright colors, layers of chains—I want it all. This one from Anthropologie is everything I'm looking for: It's made of several strands of faceted drops in the prettiest lemon color, and it would be so great over a simple white tee and paired with beat-up jeans.

Hoping to add a bright, homespun touch to your home decor? These letter pillows from Anthropologie fit the bill. Use them to spell out a name in a nursery, teach the ABC's to a toddler, or inject some extra fun into a playroom. And there's no need to keep them solely for the kids--the ethnic-inspired prints would also look great (and sufficiently adult) propped up in a powder room or hung in your entryway. Read More »

I spent the weekend in Vegas, where on Easter Sunday the temperature
peaked at 75 degrees. It was the first time in far too long that I can
remember stepping out without piling on at least half a dozen layers,
and feeling the sun on my bare arms made me euphoric. My mind was
racing with... Read More »
