Welcome to the weekend, we’ve got fun and games.

PERK ALERT

Exclusive Boat Shoes from Maine

We’re outfitting you for your summer in a pair of deck-friendly, limited-edition boat shoes designed by our friends at Rancourt & Co. Also, high-quality swimsuits, designed in Italy. And for your iPhone: a sturdy case that doubles as a beer bottle opener. Summer starts here...

DEAN MACHINE

Owning Dean Martin’s Custom Ride

You and Dino have a lot in common. For one: that policy of waiting out inclement weather. For another: you’ll be driving his car. Yes, Martin’s pre-owned Ghia L6.4—one of 26 models custom-made for the Rat Pack and their circle—is currently up for sale. No need to adjust the presets.


411:	Hyman Ltd., $199,500, get your new wheels here

BLACK-AND-WHITE ALBUM

Beatles. All Over Your Coffee Table.

Beatlemania in France. You really missed out. This British newspaperman didn’t. And now he’s turning the lesser-known, more-intimate highlights (read: that hotel pillow fight in Paris) into something compelling for your coffee table. Or extremely heavy for the beach.


411:	Harry Benson: The Beatles, $700, take a ticket to ride here

BEACH HOUSE

Ice Cream Sandwiches. Pinup Girls. Go.

It wouldn’t be summer without ice cream. And it wouldn’t be ice cream without pinup girls. (Work with us here.) You’ll find both at the new online shop from Santa Monica’s Beachy Cream. They come in sandwich and calendar form. Guess which one’s which.


411:	Beachy Cream, enjoy a taste here

BREW HA-HA

Ordering Scottish Beer Off the Internet

If you drink beer and use the Internet, congrats: Scottish microbrewery BrewDog is getting into the online selling-things game. The upshot: triple-frozen stouts, quadruple-hopped IPAs stronger than just about anything else out there and other flavors deemed too daring for US sale. Prep your cooler accordingly.


411:	BrewDog, order up a crate of pints here

PERLA GATES

La Perla. 40% Off. (We Mean the Price.)

Frilly things. Lacy things. Frilly and lacy things. This sale has all those things, all from the legendary Italian lingerie maker you know and trust for such matters. If only it came paired with a card that sings Barry White when you open it.
