I have walked past Karim Rashid’s showroom in New York City many times, and I always figured he was a bright colors kind of guy - there’s always lots of lime green around, particularly at Nooch, the restaurant up the street designed by Rashid. But it turns out he actually has quite a [...]

This nifty little gadget is cool: the Solio portable battery for any device. The bonus is that in addition to loading its battery off the wall charger, it can also gather power as a solar device. Charging from the regular wall outlet takes four hours, and solar charging takes eight to ten [...]

So this is the logo for the 2012 Olympics. It’s pink, or at least fuschia…but that is about all I can identify about it. Is this supposed to represent anything? Is it supposed to say anything? What is that dot in the middle for, is that an extension on the [...]

I love Tarina Tarantino’s products. If you browse through the jewelry section, there is pink everywhere! A lot of it is subtle but there are some standout pieces like this skull set. The bracelet will set you back $100, the earrings are $70, and the necklace is $325, but they’re cute! [...]

I am torn between liking these rain boots and not liking them. For one thing, I do not like that ShopBop is charging $98 for them, I know fine wellingtons can be had for much less than that. And yet these have such a nice pink color, sturdy soles, and they come [...]

The company Think Products makes granola bars. At least I think that’s what they are…they might be energy bars instead. Anyway, their original creation was the thinkOrganic bar, and then came thinkThin, a high-protein bar “for an active lifestyle.” (Notice this is not a weight loss product.) Their thinkGreen bar [...]

CNet is a great source for reviews on products, but they mostly look at the features and functionality. It’s time to look at the fashion! Check it out behind the jump.
