Future Mirrors, Overseas Thrift Stores, Money Bands and More: Web Round-Up

July 30, 2008 09:00 PM

See Jack Shop brings you links to the latest styles, trends and tips from around the web.

~ Forget golf, the U.S. Open of Surfing is in full force in Orange County, Calif. According to the LA Times more than 400,000 people will be hitting the shops along the shore and critic Booth Moore has created a guide to the hot spots.

~ Dressing room mirrors will be more than a stationary item in the future. Forbes said mirrors would show pictures of the buyer in all the items they’ve tried on, allow you to send the images to friends for suggestions and even get other merchandise recommendations according to Forbes. High-end designers already have similar technology in their dressing rooms while Macy's and J.C. Penney are looking into the interactive feature.

~ Attention thrift shoppers! Get out your passports because Elizabeth Spiridakis of the Moment blog on NYTimes.com takes us overseas as she recounts three days of thrift shopping in Madrid.

~ Dita made 10 red versions of their Midnight Special style for Lupe Fiasco's Tour. High Snobiety says the eyewear company is releasing five of these pieces to their online store – that’s only five in the world that online shoppers can snag!

~ Wallets are chunky and money clips can be pricey. Josh Spear recommends the Money Band (about $4). It’s shorter and wider than the average rubber band to allow a perfect fit around plastics and cash.
