The Needle & The Mouse Dan Frommer & Lauren Sherman

Dan and Lauren are back to talk more NYC vs. LA b.s., the state of Fashion Weeks, and about Dan's recent column about Glossier's now-shelved plans for a social network.

Lauren and Dan are back! This week: Dan's big Consumer Trends report (newconsumer.com/trends), talking about "online" vs. "offline" self-identity, grocery delivery, are gyms screwed?, the missing gift guide to gift guides, and learning about class from Home Alone.

Dan and Lauren are back in LA after an extended shopping and outdoor-dining trip to NYC, including quality time (?) in Midtown (!). Best enjoyed with a gelato-the-size-of-your-face from Lodi and anything from CHCM.

Dan and Lauren are back (with baby Fritz in the background 🙃) to talk about the golden era of content & commerce, including some new favorites — Uniqlo's LifeWear magazine, Interview x Carolina Herrera — and two recent deals: Chase's acquisition of The Infatuation and Unilever's flushing of Mel Magazine. Plus: What we're looking forward to for our upcoming NYC visit.

Dan and Lauren are back to talk about logos — where they belong, where they don't, Gap sweatshirts, brand whoring, etc. — and what we're drinking these days: Minna sparkling teas, Three Trees alt-milks, Cometeer frozen coffee pods, Ghia spritzes, and Ugly's cherry cola seltzer.

Dan and Lauren are back (yes, already!) to talk briefly about the new Apple Watch before diving into Warby Parker's business and narrative, more than a decade in, as it prepares to list its shares. Also, what we're wearing these days.
