Kings of Op

Look. Then look again. Is that sphere moving, or are you imagining it? Fear not—your eyes are definitely playing tricks on you. That’s the fantastical fun of Op art. With their roots in the symmetrical, design-heavy style made popular by the Bauhaus movement, the eye teasers of optical art have been making quite a comeback. Generally more affordable than many of their contemporary-art cousins, they can add a splash of bright color to any modern décor. So opt for Op with this playful collection.

Pretty in Polka

Ready to polka? Dot, that is. Despite their name, polka dots are not related to the Central European folk dance. In fact, they’re connected to a different high-stepping tradition—polka dots were first used on flamenco costumes. These days, though, it’s fashion designers who tend to get dotty. From Louis Vuitton bags to Chuck Taylor sneakers, polka dots can go glam or keep it casually hip. Either way, they’re eye-catching. Get spotted with the polka-dot clothing and accessories in this collection.

Neon Glow

Neon. The name comes from the Greek word for “new,” but it’s not a recent technology. People have been lighting up the night since 1910, when an engineer made a glowing lamp by passing electricity through a gas. And invented a whole new color palette in the process. Today, neon accessories can bring a real charge to your home. From hot pink chairs to kaleidoscopic glasses, to a bright paperweight that lends a welcome splash of cheer. This chromatic collection of home décor is a very bright idea.

Lucite Delight

Call it the “glass slipper” phenomenon. See-through shoes and accessories have clearly been hot for quite some time. Maybe because they’ve got nothing to hide. Cinderella’s famous shoes were made of pure glass, but most of these treasures are crafted from Lucite—a hard, clear plastic also known as acrylic glass. Lucite offers the same transparency, but in more lightweight and less breakable form. No wonder it’s been used in bangles, baubles and heels for decades. Get ready to go glassy and gorgeous with this crystal-clear collection.

As Enzo Ferrari said, “What’s behind you doesn’t matter.” Satisfy your need for speed with this collection of striped road cars.

Line Up

Stripes come in all...stripes. Thick or thin. Horizontal or vertical. In color or black and white. No matter how you line them up, they’ve been all the rage since the 1920s, when Coco Chanel transformed traditional Breton sailors’ uniforms into everyday wear. To this day, a striped T-shirt evokes classic French style. Likewise, a ribbed dress stands out from the sea of black frocks. So earn your stripes with this collection of well-lined fashions.

Pinstripes

Yankees then and now

Pinstripes

“It’s like deja vu all over again.” So quipped baseball’s Yogi Berra, who coined a lot of fun phrases in his playing days. And every year, like deja vu, his New York Yankees competed in the World Series. Bronx Bombers came and went over the decades, but their pinstriped uniforms have stayed the same. From Ruth to DiMaggio, Mantle to Mattingly, legends of the game all sported New York black and white. So while “A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore” (another Berra classic) this collection of Yankees memorabilia is worth every cent.
