We resisted the witty puns screened on t-shirts and any sort of room decor but Urban Outfitters’ new bike shop offers candy colored fixies that we must admit are pretty cool. Teamed with Republic Bike, Urban starts with the Aristotle model leaving the color of the seat, frame, grips, rims, tires, pedals and chain up to you. See mine above.

Just in case you were wondering here’s a look at the rest of the hotel………..

In one of our favorite artist collabs ever, NY based artists Marilyn Minter, Richard Phillips and Maira Kalman created original works inspired by MAC’s fall color collection. Minter took cues from glitter pigments she describes as “decadent and violent. ” Her image is erotic, tactile, glamorous and subversive all characteristics of the MAC brand itself, a pretty impressive result considering MAC gave each artist carte blanche for their projects. Genius.
