Jimmy Choo Capsule Collection For UGG. Some Cozy Couture Kickass Boots.

High fashion couture shoe designer Jimmy Choo has designed a capsule collection for UGG, the well-known Australian unisex fleece-lined sheepskin boots that people either love or hate.



The new Jimmy Choo & Ugg collection consists of six boots in various colors. Studded, grommeted and fringed, the boots are not for the subtle- or the thrifty. Zebra and Cheetah patterns, Gold and silver studs, stars and fringe embellish the mid calf boots which range in price from $495.00 to $795.00 USD.


The Mandah
The most expensive boot in the collection is the Mandah. A myriad of silver and gold grommets, rivets and domed studding cover the entire black boot in glittering detail giving it a fashionable, graphic Jimmy Choo attitude.





The Siobhan
The Siobhan is the least expensive of the line at $495. A charcoal colored Donegal Cable knit cashmere blend boot detailed with antique nickel studs, lamb suede fringe detailed with antique nickel double faced studs for Jimmy Choo flair.





The Kaia
The $595 Kaia has the Classic UGG® boot silhouette with a glamorous Jimmy Choo twist of leopard lamb suede print with grommet and domed studs in an antique finish. Available in Leopard, Zebra and Charcoal Zebra.







The Starlit
Also priced at $595, The Starlit has a rock star edge. All over silver stars are featured on black lamb suede and antique brass stars on chestnut lamb suede with a Silkee Suede fringe detail.




The Sora
The Sora, priced at $695, has a top-cuff, chic Jimmy Choo feature detail on two layers of Silkee Suede fringe, a silver star studded trim on black lamb suede and antique brass star studded trim on chestnut and chocolate lamb suede decorate both tall and Classic boot models.

Headcase™, in partnership with The Ohio Art Company, has just introduced the first and only officially licensed Etch A Sketch® iPad case! Now, the world’s most popular drawing toy provides a fun backdrop for the most revolutionary device ever conceived by Apple.

Etch A Sketch® is celebrating its 50th year and over 150 million units sold. The iPad sold over 3 million units in its first 80 days, prompting the USA Today front-page article: “Etch A Sketch: The 1960’s iPad”.



Daniel Deutsch, CEO of Headcase explains, “Etch A Sketch® has been one of the most recognized and iconic toys for generations. The iPad, like the Etch A Sketch®, is also instantly recognizable and has defined an entirely new category of technology. It has been a thrill to work with Ohio Art to bring the look and the feel of the world’s most popular drawing toy to Apple’s latest opus. It is the perfect accessory for those of us who never really grew up.”

While the Etch A Sketch® iPad case looks like America’s favorite toy, there has been equal attention placed on making it a high quality protective case. Made of impact resistant ABS plastic, the Etch A Sketch® iPad case will help protect your iPad. Rubber feet and a felt backing gently cradle your iPad inside the Etch A Sketch® iPad case.



Strategically placed windows throughout the Etch A Sketch® iPad case allow for easy use of all your iPad switches, ports, and buttons.




A retractable kick stand allowS you to either lay your iPad flat, or angle it for easy use of the keyboard.

Hair Dryers That Will Blow Your Mind From Ferrari, 2Much, Barbie, Ed Hardy and More.

Seems like lately everything utilitarian is getting into "design" and hair care tools are no exception. Blow Dryers from high-end salon brands like BaByliss, T3, Conair and even custom ones by designers are hitting the market.

The first one I'm sharing with you is more about what's inside the dryer than the look of it.

Hair Dryer engine made with actual Ferrari parts:



In 2010, a unique collaboration between BaByliss and Ferrari brought together the technological and engineering expertise of these two industry giants. The result puts the world's first Ferrari-inspired high performance engine into a professional hair appliance.

Designed for maximum airflow, minimum weight, low vibration, extended life and turbo-speed power, the Ferrari engine makes this BaBylissPRO the ultimate drying machine, and creates a brand new category in styling: the performance luxury dryer.

Ferrari and BaByliss, both noted for speed, power and performance, are recognized and respected around the world. As a sponsor of the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli Championship, BaByliss is proud to lend its support to the greatest name in racing.

The BaByliss®PRO VOLARE comes in two sizes –a medium and a compact one- and in two colours –in black and in the worldwide original FERRARI red colour- and is the world’s first professional luxury hair dryer driven by a FERRARI engine.
