Five of the Best
Things we love, things we want, things we want to do, and things we think are just cool, interesting, or at least noteworthy.
- No doubt: these are the hippest speakers that could ever possibly bookend your computer. Is your music collection ready?
- An idea for your next rendezvous in Paris (or crazy weekend with friends): a private cruise in a motorboat for three hours of Champagne-fueled romance (or fun).
- While we are rarely ones to turn down a charitable opportunity, how about taking that pile of spring cleaning cast-offs to a car boot sale? We're pretty sure you could get a new handbag out of the proceeds...
- We're loving this bold, striped tie from Paul Stuart. The meek need not click.
