The Jabra SP5050 Speakerphone

Jabra is one of the world's most well-known Bluetooth headset manufacturers and is now ready to light up the tech world with Bluetooth speakerphones. This new phone is slim and easy to use, which will be important with a lot of the new hands-free cell phone laws coming out. The SP5050 has a background noise reduction feature, a visor clip, is lightweight, and has number redial, call mute, voice dialing, and a night driving mode - this shuts off the LED lights at night so your eyes don't get distracted. You also have the ability to transfer calls from the phone to the speakerphone and vice versa. It also has a rated talk time of 12 hours and a standby time of 8.3 days.

"Insider's" Shopping Clubs

Ideeli.com and Gilt Groupe's gilt.com offer bargain prices for couture items. The only hitch is you have to be accepted as a member first. Kinda like costco, except not really. Just this week, I have received special sale offers on Missoni towels, Vera Wang, Dolce and Gabbana shoes, Linea Pelle purses and some other good ones. You can also upgrade to shop one hour earlier than all of the other fashionistas. I think ideeli might have the more affordable pieces, while gilt.com has the higher-end pieces. Either way, it is worth checking into. Cheers, shoppers!

Tory Burch Barton Cuff

In this case, not good to shine on...

A warm weather essential to make sure you keep your 'fresh face' are blotting papers. Not good to just pack on more powder or makeup to get rid of the shine.

The slim package fits perfectly in your pocket, handbag, or desk drawer. Another bonus is portion of the sales proceeds of this product will be donated to support breast cancer research.
