You can shop Andy Cohen's designer suits, furniture and more at Housing Works next week
After a teary departure from his West Village home of 22 years, Andy Cohen is downsizing and selling hundreds of items from his personal collection—including rare pop culture and Bravo memorabilia—to benefit Housing Works. And he'll even be manning the register himself. Next Tuesday, July 22, Cohen will transform Housing Works' Chelsea Thrift Shop (143 W 17th Street) into Andy's Clubhouse, a lively nighttime shopping experience with drinks and deals, with all proceeds benefitting the longstanding New York organization that fights for inclusive care, social justice, and an end to homelessness. 'I don't know how long Housing Works has been around, but certainly, in my 35 years in New York City, they've always been a presence,' Cohen tells Time Out. (Coincidentally, Housing Works was founded in 1990—35 years ago.) 'I think they're an incredibly well-run charity, which pivots with the times and the needs of people. There was no question in my mind that when I wound up downsizing all of my stuff, I would want to do a big partnership with them.' Like his previous Pride Collection, the current assortment includes high-end furniture and decor. But Andy's Clubhouse is a wider-ranging and more accessible beast, with clothing, books and memorabilia from the star's decades-long career. The highlight for Cohen is his T-shirt collection, which he calls 'an unparalleled trip through the last 30 years of pop culture and New York.' These include pieces of vintage Diana Ross, Mariah Carey and Britney Spears merch, as well as classic Wigstock shirts from the '90s. Gifts from his beloved Bravolebrities are, of course, represented, including a 'Happy Eddie' hoodie, She by Shereé shirts, and merchandise from Vanderpump Rules and SUR Restaurant. On the higher-end range, there will be fashions the TV personality has previously worn to the Met Gala and around 30 designer suits and other garments he's worn on-air, including while hosting New Year's Eve Live with friend Anderson Cooper. 'The collection is really expansive, and if you are a size-40 regular, or you know a man that is a size-40 regular, this stuff is really good,' he winks, adding that his previous closet 'was the size of a generous master bedroom, so it was really built for hoarding. Anything that went in just never came out.' Even those not in the Bravosphere will find things to covet, including his 'incredible collection of Grateful Dead and Snoopy shirts,' as well as merch relating to bestie John Mayer.

AVI-8 and Peanuts team up for the Snoopy Flying Ace watch collection, and I want all five
AVI-8 is taking flight with an unlikely co-pilot – Snoopy. In a first-time collaboration with the legendary Peanuts comic strip, the aviation-inspired watchmaker has unveiled the Snoopy Flying Ace Capsule Collection, a limited-edition run of five characterful watches. This quirky collection is a loving tribute to Snoopy's iconic alter ego, the Flying Ace – a daydreaming beagle who duels the Red Baron from the roof of his doghouse. AVI-8 has channelled its aviation design language into these comic-inspired timepieces, blending horological details with playful touches straight from Charles M. Schulz's beloved panels. The watches themselves are no gimmicks. AVI-8's watches are always super solid, and use Japanese movements – both quartz and automatic, depending on the model. If you like the MoonSwatch x Snoopy model, but are put off by the plastic case, then these are an excellent alternative. Whether it's the Ace Black chronograph with a stealthy matte black finish or the Beagle Blue with a sunray dial and sapphire lens, each piece offers distinct features and styling. And if you've ever wanted a watch with Woodstock on the bezel, you're covered. Hidden details are where the collection really shines. Flash the included UV light on the dial and you'll discover surprise comic artwork, Snoopy silhouettes, pawprints and more, all carefully embedded into the design. Some models even hide an entire comic strip under the surface. Flip them over and you'll find custom casebacks – ranging from Flying Ace graphics to mini engraved comic panels. Even the straps feature subtle nods to the Peanuts gang, with leather finishes in brown, blue, green and black tones depending on the model. I've been wearing the Camel Brown model for a week now, and it's honestly been a joy. It's just a really fun watch to have on your wrist—full of character without feeling like a novelty. The 40mm case is spot on for everyday wear, and it's slim enough to sit comfortably without catching on sleeves. The brown leather strap is soft straight out of the box, and the whole thing wears really well. Sure, it's not the most precise or legible watch (Snoopy's arms do the pointing, which can be a bit vague), but for something this playful, that's a trade-off I'm happy to make. Now, on to prices and availability. At the affordable end, the Doghouse Green and Camel Brown watches feature Meca-Quartz movements and are priced at US$210 / £210. On the other end, the Beagle Blue Spitfire Automatic tips US$330 / £330 with upgraded specs like a sapphire lens and automatic movement. The Biplane Brown and Ace Black models sit in between. This might just be the most charming crossover in watchmaking this year. Whether you're a die-hard AVI-8 fan or just have a soft spot for Snoopy and his doghouse dogfights, this capsule collection offers something refreshingly fun. Each of the five watches is capped at just 250 units globally, meaning only 1250 people will ever get to wear one. Every model comes individually numbered, complete with a certificate of authenticity and presented in a charming doghouse-shaped box (it might be the best watch box I've ever seen). The Snoopy Flying Ace Capsule Collection will be available to purchase from the 25th of July at AVI-8's website, and, as mentioned before, these watches are strictly limited and won't be reissued. Once they're gone, they're gone, just like Snoopy into the clouds. Liked this? TAG Heuer's new Carrera brings back the spirit of the Seafarer, just in time for summer

Underdogs' time to scrap at top
You can expect tacos on the menu at a Mexican restaurant. A Friday afternoon meeting will always drag. And by October, you would have heard Snoopy's Christmas at least once. But you cannot always rely on the favourites getting through to the Dunedin division 1 final. Teams placed fourth and sixth after the regular season will lock horns in the final at Forsyth Barr Stadium tomorrow afternoon. Harbour edged University 32-28 and Taieri 15-10 to book their place. And Kaikorai prevailed 25-16 against Taieri and 13-10 against Southern. Dunedin, who set the benchmark for a good portion of the season, were tipped out in the opening round of the playoffs, and Taieri, who had a second life in the playoffs, were eliminated in the semifinals. Kaikorai coach Andy Hunter said there was "just so little between all the teams all the way through the season that it never really sort of bothered us too much [to finish sixth]". Both Kaikorai's playoff wins came down to a couple of key plays. They defended with tenacity, and they have also made some big improvements up front. Their scrum was dismantled by Southern earlier in the season, but they have adjusted. Their game plan is still to push the ball wide quickly and probe for gaps on the flanks. Loose forward duo Slade McDowall and captain Lucas Casey thrive when the game is played with width. They will enjoy the dry track under the roof. Harbour would probably prefer some mud so their big pack can go to work. "They're a different team to us, that's for sure," Hunter said. "They're a big physical pack ... a little bit similar to, say, Southern in that they've got some big ball-carriers and a big, strong tight five. "We've just got to come up with some good plans to be able to manage them." Kaikorai have beaten Harbour twice this season. Hunter described the 69-15 win earlier in the season as an "outlier". The 24-20 at Watson Park on June 21 was a better indication. Ben Miller kicked three second-half penalties to help secure the win for Kaikorai. Harbour coach Peter McIntyre expects it will be another close fixture. "We've got quite a strong set-piece, but I think Kaik's set-piece is pretty strong as well," McIntyre said. "I think they started to dominate that Southern eight in the second half of the semifinal. "But each team has a different sort of style, which makes the final a little bit more interesting from that aspect. "We're not going to change too much. What's worked for us has been, over the last three weeks, the clarity around our game plan and putting it in place and playing for each other." The Hawks will lean on the classy combination of halfback Nathan Hastie and first five Rique Miln to get the team in good positions and create opportunities. Hooker Gabriel Francesconi and flanker Toni Taufa have led the pack, and Aleki Morris-Lome has been a solid influence at centre.
