The Best Egypt Protest Signs

These are some of the best protest signs carried by Egyptian protesters and those who support them around the world. They make no bones about the fact that they want President Mubarak out of power and out of Egypt. He has recently stated that he won’t run for re election but I don’t know if that will satisfy these protestors.

Valentine's Day Gift: Red JAMBOX Sets the Mood

Gone are the days when a guy shows up on your doorstep with a boom box blaring love songs a la Lloyd Dobler in Say Anything… but they don’t have to be. This Valentine’s Day, check out the Jawbone JAMBOX wireless speaker - it packs a ton of great sound into a tiny package. It’ll connect with your iPhone to play music in the park; it’ll bring movies to life when you watch Netflix from you iPad; and you can even use it as a speakerphone.

While JAMBOX ($199) comes in four hip colors and designs, we think the “RED DOT” model (by Yves Behar; image below) is perfect for Valentine’s Day.

It delivers incredible sound, and is the perfect enhancement to your smart phone, iPod, and tablets. It can easily fit into your bag while you’re on-the-go so you can play the music you want, anywhere you want. It’s a party in your pocket.

Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture Spring 2011 Collection

Put a little shimmer in your shimmy.

There's a sort of understated drama to this show. Almost every piece gives you reason to stop and take it in, but few of them seem to go to far. Stéphane Rolland is truly a master of drapery and these pieces move beautifully. We love the metallic pieces and accents, the playing around with volume, proportion, and silhouette; and the luxurious silks and chiffons. The color palette is interestingly autumnal. It's not our taste specificially, but this collection of flowing, liquid bronzes and golds is certainly pretty to look at. An amazing presentation.
