Between ’07 and ’08, I practically stumbled over the most overused term heard around New York: Gentrification (particularly as I am a Brooklyn resident). Now, in the throws of a recession, I predict “because of the economy” will be the term of ’09. Not in a depressing way, of course - but rather in a conscious consumer-saving way. Because of the economy we can’t afford all the luxurious accoutrements some of us were so conditioned to buying at our disposal: travel, designer accessories, anything plausible within our lifestyle. But before we throw in the towel, I have listed Platform must-haves for the holiday, putting the economic downturn on the backburner, even if it’s just for the rest of ’08.
Enjoy!
