A new column of finds in New York from
the eyes of someone that is a “discoverer” -- Rhonda
Erb.
Cell Phones:
Casio G'zOne Boulder Phone In
spite of its rugged, outdoorsy name, this phone is sleek and streamlined and
available in a fashionable shade of orange. It’s the latest entry in
Casio’s G series of mobile handsets but don’t be fooled by its
attractive looks, Boulder more than lives up to its name in durability. Water
and shock resistant, this phone is chock full of popular features like
blue-tooth, a 1.3 mega-pixel camera, and mobile web 2.0. There’s also
Verizon’s VZ Navigator and electronic compass so whether you’re out
on a hike or on the streets of New York City, you’ll be able to find your
way; and with VCast Music and Video, you can take your favorite entertainment
with you wherever you go.
Available at Verizon
Mobile stores nationwide
Socks:
Ozone Socks Socks are often overlooked
as fashion accessories, but Laurie Mallet, President and CEO of Ozone Designs,
is determined to change that oversight. Ozone Socks are trendy and colorful and
come in a variety of styles and patterns that are anything but forgettable.
Their innovative Sock of the Month club allows you to receive thirteen pairs of
socks in twelve months at a substantially discounted price. Furthermore, in an
effort to solve the problem of the “missing sock,” Ozone will sell
you a single sock for half the price of a pair. Ozone Socks are available in
over 2,000 boutiques in the US, and remember, socks make the perfect gift.

Directions:
Shirt.woot.com Anyone can discover a potentially
limited edition fashion find on shirt.woot.com. This fun website features a
unique and original t-shirt design each day. Here’s how it works:
shirt.woot! posts a new t-shirt every night at midnight central time. These
shirts are designed by their in-house staff, outside artists, or the winners of
their weekly design competition, “The Derby.” All the shirts are 100%
cotton, made by American Apparel, and printed at woot’s own facility in
Carrollton, Texas. The prices are all decidedly modest and there is free
standard shipping. Also, be sure to visit woot.com and wine.woot.com; all three
web-sites were founded by electronics wholesaler Matt Rutledge. Their retail
philosophy: “cool stuff cheap”.

Cosmetics:
My Blend: As they say, “It’s always Fashion
Week somewhere.” Each season, the fashion press travels the globe in
pursuit of runway coverage. Of course, spending countless hours on airplanes
can take a toll on even the most perfect skin. Dr. Olivier Courtin has the
answer to skin that is exhausted and dehydrated. His customized skin care line,
My Blend, targets complexion emergencies with booster serums that can be added
to your regular My Blend regimen. The new Anti-Jet Lag Relief Emergency Booster
is perfect for travelers on the go. It rids the skin of toxins, restores its
moisture balance, and returns it to its natural radiance. After all, there is
no reason your skin shouldn’t look its best, even after the longest
flights.
