Build Your Very Own Website Puppies are the Beatles of social media—everyone goes crazy for them. So, naturally, when my own brown, fluffy bundle of joy arrived a few weeks ago, the first thing I did was flood my Instagram, Facebook FB -0.71 % and Twitter TWTR 0.46 % feeds with photos. But moments after my pup’s face appeared in those feeds, he vanished as fast as Thin Mints in the office kitchen. Social media’s ephemeral nature means everyone is just waiting for what’s next—his first haircut (like!); his trip to the vet (like!).

Xteeener Oscar De La Renta Fall/ Winter 2012/ 2013 Jewelry Collection I’m not really into jewelry but when I see such amazing pieces as ones presented in Oscar de la Renta Fall/ Winter 2012/ 2013 collection I forget about everything and focus on examining every single item. Oscar De La Renta Fall/ Winter 2012/ 2013 jewelry collection is inspired by Victorian times when ladies loved chic elaborate jewelry with beautiful stones in deep mesmerizing colors. The range includes large bracelets made of leather and gold, rings encrusted with red, emerald, aquamarine stones, and necklaces which can’t tear your eyes from – so wonderful they are. While Oscar De La Renta Fall/ Winter 2012/ 2013 jewelry collection is not generally for women who prefer minimalism there are pieces which could be interesting even for them, for example the pink bracelet, simple earrings in white and yellow gold and an unusual collar necklace.

The hipster is dead, and you might not like who comes next What do we call me? I’m a 26-year-old writer who lives in a gentrifying neighborhood in Brooklyn. I’m a straight white man with a single-speed bike and a mustache. I studied liberal arts in college, and I have ideas about stuff, you guys. Millennial? Hipster? Let's consider something new: Yuccies. I am the yuccie. More money is good, but more creative money is better. Yuccies are hardly mythical creatures. Getting rich quick would be great. getting rich quick and preserving creative autonomy? getting rich quick and preserving creative autonomy? When they graduated college — unless they completed XYZ Start Up Bootcamp instead — many didn’t bother attempting a traditional career path. That sounds like me. From board room to drawing board: Unrequited yuccies Not all yuccies follow such a direct path. That same Deloitte study found that as many as 28% of millennials believe their talents aren’t being tapped at their current jobs. Win-lose-pivot. And those are just yuccies I’ve met.
