Pocket Spy Camera

l\'espion S Pocket Spy CameraDisguised as a lighter, this truly pocket-friendly digital camera is an essential part of any respectable secret agent’s bag of tricks. The l’espion S not only takes photos, but it also records movies and sounds.   And with a super small file size, the camera holds up to 150 pictures at 640 x 480, and up to 310 pictures at 320 x 240.

Particularly interesting for the paranoid?  Surveillance mode, where you can record images at pre-set time intervals.  Perfect for covert observation for up to 19 days.

I’m usually not a fan of the ubiquitous short frilly skirt, but I have to admit, this particular version has me smitten. 

Why is this skirt special?  For me, it’s the combo of the fitted top layer and the frilly asymmetrical underlayers.  Even better, the skirt is versatile enough to go from cute to glam to trendy to sporty.  This week, we’ll show you how!

Trendscape: Covered Beads

Several seasons ago, shiny pearls gave way to Lanvin’s smash hit, pearls wrapped in raw-edged silk tulle,
which begat organiza- and ribbon- wrapped beads,
which meshed with the crochet trend to produce crochet-covered beads,
which have since spawned a slew of necklaces and bracelets covered with tiny miniature beads.
Which brings our trend to beads covered with beads,
which means that, quite literally, some prefer to wear irony on their sleeve.

Whew. All we can say is that this trend has truly grown up.
