Fab Finds: Fun Roller Wheel

The Fun Roller Wheel from Madd Kidz (heh, awesome name) has got to be a disaster waiting to happen.  Now, granted, I don't have children, but I feel like kids pushing one another around in an inflatable hamster wheel has to be a bad idea.  For me it only conjures up images of Beavis and Butt-Head rolling themselves down a giant hill inside a tire.  The end result of this has to be either dizzy, dazed kids or broken furniture and/or bones.  That being said, it's probably tons of fun before the disaster strikes.  $34.99.

Fab Finds: Temperature Controlled LED Shower Light

There are two reasons why this temperature-controlled LED shower head is so cool.  1. Everyone hates hopping into the shower only to find it's still a little cold.  2. You get to bathe under the awesome red glow of red LED lights.  So, the deal is, as soon as the water reaches 89°F, the illumination changes from blue to red.  Awesome, right?  $50 and available for pre-order, shipping later this month.

Fab Finds: Laser Target Alarm Clock

Are you the type of person who likes to be tortured by your alarm clock?  Is a gentle beeping or buzzing that you can quickly and easily silence simply not effective enough for you?  Well, then, take note of the Laser Target Alarm Clock.  The only way to turn off the alarm is to aim the laser beam from the little remote device directly at the center of the target.  The alarm will then sound exactly 24 hours later, until you manually tell it not to.  All this can be yours for $20.

Fab Finds: Marc by Marc Jacobs Jewelry

I'm sure I've mentioned my love of big, obnoxious, chunky jewelry before.  For the most part, the bigger a necklace, watch, bracelet, or ring is the better.  That's why I'm reallying digging these chunky necklaces and ring from Marc by Marc Jacobs.  Available in a lapis blue and an aqua color (also available in a coral in from some shops), there's a multi-stone necklace, a single stone necklace, and a big cocktail ring.  Prices range from $68-158.

Fab Finds: All Things Pink

So, the lovely Kristi, with whom I work, has suddenly developed an obsession with all things pink.  I can't explain it and neither can she, but there it is.  And not just any shade of pink - just things that are super-bright fuchsia pink.  Here's a sampling of some of the pink goodness from her list...

This Foley + Corinna bag/clutch is fun.  It's a good-sized bag that can be carried by the strap or folded over and carried like a clutch.  And it sure is pink.  In person it's a deep pink with purple undertones.  It's also available in bunch of other colors for the less pink-inclined out there.  $444.

This watch is absurd.  But absurd in that way that's awesome.  A hot pink patent leather strap, lined in animal print?  Ha, ha!  Leave it to Betsey Johnson to design a watch like that.  $95.

These low-heeled sandals from Seychelles Footwear are super-cute.  With the weather turning warmer it's a perfect time to start shopping for summer sandals.  These would look great with skirts and dresses.  They're also available in white, black, and yellow (my favorite).  $80.
