Vinyl Numbers Clock

I love seeing how some people re-invent and recycle stuff instead of throwing them away or letting them rot in the attic, like old vinyl records. Artist Pavel Sidorenko did a good job with his stash of vinyl records by creating a whole bunch of these funky Vinyl Numbers Clock.
The artist hails from Estonia, so you might not really be familiar with the artists who now find their records being cut, so to speak. But not to worry, because that just adds to the whole mysterious feel of the clocks, right?
Put up one of these Vinyl Numbers Clock on your wall to instantly give your room a more retro vibe. These clocks retail for £34.99 ($57) and you can order one online from Firebox.

Fanbrella

When I was much younger, my mother would always tell me to carry an umbrella with me whenever I left the house. It didn’t matter if it was raining or if it was sunny. When it was the former, I didn’t mind. But I hated having to lug it around with me if it was particularly hot.
Maybe if I had been carrying the Fanbrella then, I wouldn’t have minded so much.
The Fanbrella is what its name suggests it is: it’s an umbrella that’s got retractable fan blades underneath its UV-reflecting canopy. Cool, right? Its shaft and ribs are also made of plastic so they won’t rust like those old umbrellas with the metal interior would.

• Requires six AA batteries that provide 5 1/2 hours of continuous operation
• Available in red.
• Closed: 39 1/2″ L x 2 1/4″ W diameter.

You can buy the Fanbrella from Hammacher Schlemmer for $79.95.

If your computer is to be avant garde as far style and haute couture are concerned, then it needs to accessorize with shiny Computer Jewelry by Peleg Design.

In the set you’ll find a beautiful potted flowering orchid plant, a construction guy with a power drill, a railway clock that hangs off the side of the screen, and a toppling bucket of liquid being spilled. Yeah, pretty random stuff but fashion isn’t necessarily about practicality. Notice that the clock is frozen at just about 5:00, which signifies that it’s almost happy hour!
