You can tell a lot about a retail store by simply perusing their collection of magazines and books for sale, and this certainly holds true for the eternally chic Webster in Miami Beach. I’m in town for a store event tonight and had a few moments to flip through their impressive lobby library, curated with the same attention to detail and impeccable taste that has defined their unique collection of brands. Attached are a few shots of books you might find interesting, and magazines worth flipping through, including the massive 600-page hard cover “magazine” shown above, “Fashion for Men” by Milan Vukmirovic, one of The Webster’s founders.

A table in the main lobby packed with glossy high-fashion pubs sets the tone:

“Muse” is a fashion and art publication from Italy:

One of the best, “Arena Homme+” – published in London bi-annually since 1994:

The Netherlands’, “Fantastic Man.” Since 2005:

Highly respected and edgy “Dazed & Confused,” & a more sublime “World of Interiors.”

“Face Hunter” – the book version of the popular street style blog of the same name:

The biannual Paris-based fashion and culture magazine, “Self Service,” never afraid to show a little nudity.

And of course, Monocle, a personal favorite:

This is one of the best uses of a YouTube channel, particularly for a luxury fashion house. Dolce & Gabbana’s recently relaunched YouTube page opens with a cheeky 60′s inspired video montage “Italiana,” directed by Luca Finotti, starring Bianca Balti & Anna Orso as a chic mother-daughter tandem cruising along the Italian Riviera. You have the option to skip the video, but for once in your life, will actually watch. Post movie, a menu of video options are brought up, with just a sliver at the top denoting YouTube. It’s cleanly laid out and not overdone – ideally suited for the unreliable male attention span. With 18,900 subscriber and over 11 million views, this is a channel worth stopping on. Experience it yourself here.

Super creative, great kicks. Buy them here, in perhaps the best color ever: “pool.”

Underwhelming is the best way to describe the April retail sales report released today. Coming off a torrid 0.8% increase in March, April’s 0.1% wasn’t totally unexpected. After unseasonably warm weather brought in customers earlier in the season, a let down was inevitable. For the full report: Businessweek.

The new “Nelson” sunglasses by Gant Rugger have a silhouette favored by Paul Newman during his blazing hot, iconic career. It’s the classic tortoise shell frame and subtle green lenses that makes them cool. Bling them up with gold accents and big logos and the charm is lost – unless you like hanging out with ravers in Ibiza. (“It’s pronounced Ibitha!”). Nelson by Gant Rugger, $125, available at Gant.
