June 27, 2003 : Loop Profile Beth Bag: $15
|
So cute and fashionable, it's hard to resist buying all four. I'm personally all about the pink hula bag and the black martini. Okay, and the red shopper. How can you be expected to choose just one? Fortunately these vinyl totes by Loop are only $15/pop at the always fab girlshop.com, so you could buy all four if you wanted and not break the bank. We hope.

Tired of wearing something you think is totally cool only to have someone else show up at work/school/the unemployment line wearing the same thing? Who isn't? That's what makes No Company so great. You fill out a questionnaire about yourself or about the person you're buying the t-shirt for. Then the Toronto-based artist custom designs a one-of-a-kind t-shirt depending on the info you've provided. All for just $28. Hard to beat for an original of anything.

June 25, 2003 : Jaqua Girls Beauty and the Bath Kit: $29
|
Cold and allergy season has snuck up on us faster than…if only my head wasn't so clouded I could think of something incredibly witty to say. Suffice it to say, chances are you or someone you know is suffering from a scratchy throat, itchy eyes and sniffly nose. And while you can chug the NyQuil and pop the Vitamin C to relieve the misery, only time will make the cold go away. Which is why it's sooooo important to pamper yourself in your hour of need. A little soup, a season of Sex and the City DVDs and a Jaqua Girls Beauty and the Bath Kit are just what the doctor should have ordered. The super cute kit includes Top-To-Toe Mango Jojoba Shower Gel and Lotion, Citrus Aromatherapy Bath Soak, a Cotton Wash Mitt and a whimsical Butterfly Floating Candle all for $29. If that doesn't do it for you, try out some of their sweet Bakery Collection products like the Lemon Custard Body Butter or Orange Vanilla Sugar Body Scrub. The Jaqua Girls line also offers Girl Gathering Kits -- perfect bridal and bachelorette party gifts for the bride who doesn't wanna spend her last night of freedom at Chippendales.

It can cost you a pretty penny to get all dolled up, but beautifying your computer screen is priceless. Literally.

June 12, 2003 : THE BROKE DIARIES: $9.95
|
Eating ramen for breakfast, lunch and dinner? You're not alone. Angela Nissel, author of the hilarious book The Broke Diaries, shares her experiences and insights into utter brokedom -- all without being 'I feel so sorry for myself' about it. Once a moneyless college student contemplating getting a sugar daddy of her own, Nissel is living proof that things can and do change -- you won't be the broke fool you are now forever or you don't have to be anyway. She's now a published author and writer for the hit show 'Scrubs.' Fairytales do come true! If you're too broke to shell out the money to buy the true memoirs, you can snag a taste for free at thebrokediaries.com. Or just go read it for free at the bookstore. Cuz a girl's gotta eat, right?!

June 09, 2003 : Fira Cosmetics 9 in 1 Lips: $.99
|
Um, no. That's not a typo. That's nine luscious lip colors for just $.99. As in a penny less than a dollar. (There is a God!) I've never used Fira products, so I cannot personally attest to their quality, but for $.99, I'm willing to risk it. Of course, there is a $3.99 shipping and handling charge, so it only makes sense to buy a bunch of these bad boys and give them away as gifts. Right? To get in on the oh-so-affordable lip action, just head to firacosmetics.com. Smooches.

June 08, 2003 : Countdown to Father's Day: 1 Week!

Um, like hello? One week people. This is your last warning that Father's Day is next Sunday, June 15. That's right, one week, seven days, 168 hours. Now what are you gonna do about it? Well, you could pull out that pretty lil credit card of yours, browse our gift guide and find the gift your Daddio will love. Then ship that sucker straight to Pops, just in time for the big day. That's one option. Or, you could procrastinate a little more, and get the man who gave you life nothing for Father's Day. You...ungrateful brat! The choice is up to you. If you choose option A, have fun browsing our Father's Day Gift Guide and making your Dad happy and proud. If you choose option B, then have fun... being disowned!

June 07, 2003 : Wanna Be Friends?
|
Don't you think it's time you branched out and made some new friends? Well, if not, wouldn't you like to see all of your friends' friends? You little voyeur you. If you haven't heard, there's a new site on the scene -- friendster.com. Here's how it works: You sign up or are invited by a friend to sign up. You then fill out a pretty basic profile of who you are…things like your favorite books, movies, what you do, etc. Then you upload some photos of yourself (if you want). After that, you send an email to all your friends asking them to sign up. From there, you can see all of your friends' friends who have signed up too. Through 10 friends, I am now connected to 6500 people in my "Personal Network." And the best part is that your friends can write personal testimonials about you and vice versa -- kind of giving you a stamp of approval. So if you're into meeting new people, networking or just wasting some time, friendster.com is the place to do it.

June 06, 2003 : BUBIJOU WATCH: $22
|
Watch out! Bubijou, a fashion accessories company located in the LA Fashion District's popular Santee Alley, offers a whole lotta bang for your buck. Carrying the kind of trendy bags, jewelry, sunglasses and watches worn by celebs, but for "common people" prices, Bubijou is like the H&M of the West – yeehaw! And now you can get the goods from wherever you live because they're now selling online. I like this pink, black and white striped watch for $22. To tell time in style, or just do a little virtual window shopping, visit bubijou.com.

June 05, 2003 : PANTONE WALLETS: $34
|
XYZ. eXamine Your Zipper. No, not that one silly. Zipper Gifts, as in the design-fab LA and Brooklyn stores. Luckily they're also online. An edgier, more colorful Red Envelope, Zipper incorporates art form and function, resulting in beautiful but useable gifts and accessories. I'm mad for these Pantone Wallets. Available in black, brown, white, lime or turquoise (get the turquoise!) for $34 at zippergifts.com.

These are also the same guys who run the site freewilliamsburg.com -- as in Williamsburg, Brooklyn -- one of the deckest 'hoods around. To find out if you're deck (cool) or fin (uncool), visit hipsterhandbook.com where you can take a quiz to see if you're a hipster, study the glossary to brush up on your hipster lingo, and peruse a bunch of deck links. Or, for $9.95, just buy the book right now. You know you're dying to know.
