What's that pretty thing in the photo above? If you don't know, then you're likely not one of the many people camping outside Apple retail stores across the country waiting to get an iPhone Friday at 6 p.m. Once you get yours, do your best to whip it out at your next social outing with as much nonchalance as possible. It's getting glowing reviews, and apparently the only fingerprint issues are the dozen people pawing you for a turn to play with it. We've had a hold of it, and we're smitten. Go to www.apple.com/retail to find your nearest store. |

| HEAVY WAIST You're not going to hang that iPhone on a belt clip are you? We thought not, so pay a little more attention to your hip decoration. London's 20 Ltd., makers of extraordinary limited-edition goods, just launched a new wave of exclusive products. We love the handwoven 22 carat belt by Marie-Helene de Taillac. They're only producing 20 of them, which is a relief since each takes a little shy of two weeks to make, and the asking price is £11,950 ($23,900). That should keep you from losing your pants and suing someone. Go to www.20ltd.com |

| RAISE THE BAR With the summer sizzling, take your desk out of the spotlight. Containing 38 super-bright white LEDs, Koncept's i-Bar lamp is a cool way to keep the heat at bay, while also using reduced power and less waste. The best part: It's good for over 15,000 hours—10 times your average bulb. Go to www.konceptech.com |
