GIFT PICK: More DIY Scarves

Photos on mugs? Boring. On mousepads? Cheap. On stickers? Sometimes.

Hayden-Harnett is a game changer in the whole upload-a-photo-on-an-inanimate-object realm. Their new Bespoke Scarf Service lets you place a picture (or artwork, or really anything you can save as a JPG) and print it on a scarf (sheer silk chiffon, as seen above, or opaque sandwashed silk). They guarantee to inspect the image for graininess, and insist that even photos taken with smartphones come out looking luxe.

Now. Which will it be for me?

LISTEN: Girl Talk's Backyard-Barbecue Mix

I first heard about Girl Talk (Gregg Gillis) while spinning at the gym. I was in the room alone when a woman came in and hooked up her iPod to the main speakers. My first thought was, 'Ugh, fine, I'll listen to your stupid music."

And then I realized, wait, this is actually sorta good. Wait... this is awesome... Holy crap, turn this up! I feel like I could spin forEVERRRRRRR!

Anyway, Vulture asked Girl Talk to put together his ultimate summer playlist, and I got sick of clicking through each of the songs one by one, so I compiled them on Grooveshark.com.

Cheers to easy listening!

GIFT PICK: Hermès, Your Way

For the label lover in your life: Rumor has it, Hermès is hand-embroidering scarves at the Madison Avenue location's Custom Silk Corner. Choose a design and pattern and inscribe initials or a message for $15 per letter.

Call the store (212.751.3181) to get started on yours, er, your friend's.

N SKY C

The sky may be gray today, but technically it's #D3D5D4. I know this because ambitious web designer Mike Bodge decided to take a photo of the NYC sky every few minutes, determine the average color of each, and then plot them on this website for all of us to enjoy. Scroll down for sunrise delight!
