I just can’t help but wanna get my hands on any cute iPod speakers.  This ultra portable, sleek Creative TravelSound i50 Speaker Dock for iPod shuffle 2G (Silver) is custom made for the 2nd generation iPod Shuffle Players.  Let’s face it, I don’t want to hear the music through earpieces all the time because I can’t hear anything else going on around me and that makes me nervous at times. 

This docking speaker is perfect for indoor/outdoor where ever you want to have that private moment to enjoy your music without the headphones.  The rechargeable battery gives the shuffle up to 21 hours of playback.  And as dinky as this is, the sound is surprisingly good. 

Clip this cute gadget inside the bag, NOT outside just in case someone steals it.  You can also charge the small iPod and speaker both directly from the speaker system.  I just love this speaker cause it is so good looking and small enough to fit in my purse.

 

Best Digital Camera Under $200

Posted by Sophie on April 25, 2008

canon digital camera Hey ladies, I just got this camera today - the
Canon Powershot A470 7.1MP Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom and 2.5 LCD - Blue
!  Yes, that’s right.  I got to see many digital cameras in person at Circuit City and I found this one to be the best for the price at only $129.99.  I originally wanted the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS 8 Megapixels, ISO 1600, 3x Optical Zoom Digital Camera - Rhythm & Blue but I was more drawn to A470 not only for the price but also the quality and the design. 

This camera is super easy to use and it’s a perfect everyday camera that you can take everywhere you go.  The specs are 7.1 mp, 3.4x Optical Zoom, 2.5″ LCD, 4.1 x 1.6 x 2.2 inches and 5.8 ounces.  This camera is a bit thicker but overall, I’m very pleased with it.  Also, this baby has a manual mode so you can develop your own camera skills. You can also take short videos with it as well although you’ll want a good size SD card for that.

I love the color strips in the middle and the top of the camera…I love the blue one personally and the red one is the next best.  Also available in orange and grey.  I highly recommend this simple to use and chic camera for normal everyday use.  I paid the full price $129.99 but you can get it for $114.98 with free shipping delivered right at your door!

My Spring Wish List

Posted by Sophie on April 10, 2008

I love creating my Wish List because it makes me work that much harder to get the things I truly crave.  Every season, I write down my most wanted items & come up with a plan and timeline to get each and every thing on that list.  Here is my spring Wish List that may come in handy for some of you gals in helping you come up with your own Wish List. 

1.  Nokia N95 Smart Phone
It’s about time to update my cell phone!  I’ve been eyeing this sleek
Nokia N95 Smart Phone Limited Edition Red (Unlocked) - Dual Band, Quad Band - WCDMA 850, WCDMA 1900, GSM 800, GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900 - Infrared, Bluetooth,
 for a while.  This smart phone has everything from GPS to Bluetooth and most of all, I love the design.  I think Nokia phones are the best in the market and this phone is well beyond my expectations.

2.  Marc Jacobs Rain
I love rain - the refreshing and crisp air just right after the rain.  This light fragrance Marc Jacobs Rain (from Marc Jacobs Splash collection) will cool you off just like those wonderful spring & summer rainfalls!  I was lucky enough to find this limited edition on ebay!  Yes!

3.  Minnetonka Knee-Hi Boots
Too warm for boots? I don’t think so! Not for true fashionistas…boots are season-less if you know how to wear them.  I love wearing boots with miniskirts or shorts even during spring & summer like Kate Moss.  I really want these fringe Minnetonka - Front Lace Hardsole Knee-Hi Boot (Black Suede) - Footwear as they are super comfortable and so stylish!

4. Canon PowerShot SD1000
Can I say this digital camera is the best of all compact cameras?  I just ordered it through Amazon since it was definitely the cheapest price I could find.  The modern yet retro Canon PowerShot SD1000 7.1MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)is just so adorable and small enough to fit inside your clutch!  I’ve always wanted to own a Canon camera and I’m so happy to find this ultra portable yet high quality digital camera. I’ve also ordered the screen protector and a pink camera skin, Camera Skin Pink for Canon SD1000/IXUS 70 to protect the lens.  These two protectors alone are good enough where I don’t need to buy a separate case.  A must-have digital camera if you are looking to buy one!

5.  Juicy Couture Brush Pouch
I’m a huge fan of Juicy Couture products.  I found the cutest brush pouch
Juicy Couture Navy Pouch w/ Brushes
 that comes with three makeup brushes.  You know I have a weakness for cute things!  The pink & navy colors go so nicely together.  It’s such a great item when you travel as well.

6.  Glamorous Laptop Bag
I found a perfect laptop bag for my small Toshiba 13.1″ laptop I recently purchased.  Most of the laptop bags are too big for my little guy but this one, Maddie Powers Sheba Laptop Bag is just the right size & holds up to 14.1″ laptops.  I absolutely love the vintage 50’s magazine style pic that I don’t really see too often!  If you have a larger notebook they also have a gorgeous Maddie Powers Messenger Laptop Bag that works for up to 15.4″ which many of you may need.

7.  Counterpoint Chalcedony Ring
When it comes to rings, I like ones that are simple & elegant.  The rings that you can wear daily without being too blingy.  I fell in love with this ring which has a breathtaking color and a graceful cut.

Chase After Your Alarm Clock - Clocky

Posted by Sophie on April 4, 2008

One of my friends has one of these cutie pie alarm clocks.  This thing is pretty neat and will actually keep moving around so that you have to drag your butt out of bed to chase it down and shut it off!  That may sound annoying but after a long night partying or a critical exam or interview the next morning you’ll be glad you picked up Clocky.

 Basically you’ll have one chance to hit the good ol’ snooze but after that this thing will start rolling and fall from your nightstand and start beeping.  Clocky is now on the move with random sounding beeps and will have you playing hide and go seek with this little thing.
