Email Scan: A Jacket

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

We scan the inbox so you don't have to. Today, one lone item of note:

FROM: Best Bets Daily
SUBJECT: An anorak from Club Monaco
MESSAGE: And we quote, "Its vaguely alien vibe is right for the season, but the crinkled neck and loose shoulders are more Stella McCartney than spaceship, and we love the way it layers over cotton or cashmere."

Our daily read includes: Best Bets Daily, City, DailyCandy, Flavorpill, Head Butler, his&hers dailies, Juli B, LuxuryCulture, Lx.Tv, MUG, RareDaily, Refinery29, Splendora, Stylebakery, Stylephile, Thrillist, Urban Baby, UrbanDaddy, UrbanJunkies, VSL, WingmanDaily

FROM: UrbanBaby Daily
SUBJECT: Nursery101
MESSAGE: A baby consulting firm. Apparently, you can hire them to help you set up your nursery, find a lactation consultant or pick a daycare.

FROM: Thrillist
SUBJECT: Mid-week list
MESSAGE: Sandwich kiosk Picnick is open in Battery Park, Guyz Nite opens for Beatalica on September 2nd at the Highline, someone's created a East Village map that plots out past crime scenes and Home Fink's Family Fist of Fury show is at Magnetic Field (97 Atlantic Ave between Henry and Hicks Sts; 718-834-0069) on September 12th.
DISCARDED: "legally pick up your old hobby of feeding forks to seagulls," "showing schoolchildren where their grandfathers once picked up hookers," "when all that dapperness has crushed your soul into a crumpet," "no amount of Brooklyn irony can stop Richard Dawson from kissing you on the mouth"
