Pose

Our favorite mobile style app, Pose, has just launched a sweet new feature called OOTD (Outfit of the Day), which allows users to tag multiple brands and categories in one look. Adding this multi-tagging tool to Pose's super popular social shopping arsenal comes just in time for the big holiday retail rush, which is why they're giving away a slew of covetable prizes to their top OOTD users.

And while it may be a nice gift for someone else, it will likely be an even better gift for yourself, so give yourself a treat!

imageThis past Saturday, Basil Hayden enlisted BlackBook to throw a bonafide bash in that most venerable of New Yorkish getaways, the Hamptons. Designer Rebecca Minkoff (whose fall 2008 line of small leather goods elicited oohs and aahs all around) was the delovely host at Rob James and Harriette De Jersey's sprawling Water Mill home. Guests sipped on a variety of luxe bourbon creations, all with apropos appellations such as the Basil Fizz, Basil Salute, Basil Twist, and our definite favorite, the Basil Juicy. In typical Hamptons style, certain, um, VIPS arrived fashionably late via sizable boat where they were greeted by DJ Ace's crowd-pleasing set of classic 80s mixed with rockin' soul and indie gems. See our gallery of the affair, though note that Patrick McMullan stopped by to snap design-lovin' revelers who clinked glasses until the bitter(sweet) end.
