MasterLock’s wide variety of padlock designs

pI first picked up MasterLock’s A HREF=”http://www.masterlock.com/products/product_details.jsp?lockStyle=CombinationtypeOfEnvironment=IndoorslockUpValue=Low/Mediumcategory=MLCOM_BackpackLocksmodelNumber=MLCOM_PRODUCT_1548DCM#Specifications\” carabiner-style Backpack Locks/A, above, years ago in preparation for a backpacking trip across Europe. Lightweight, slim and unobtrusive, I had a couple of them hanging off the loop of my backpack, and I could quickly use them to shackle one thing to another; if I wanted to keep my camera out on a picturesque train trip but was dozing off and worried about lightfingers, I could affix my camera to a belt loop; at sidewalk cafes I could attach my day bag to a chair arm and not have to worry about snatch-‘n-grabs. And the design makes it easy to hook and unhook them, making my little security precautions quick afterthoughts rather than paranoid productions./p

pIn the years since MasterLock has been steadily releasing locks in creative form factors, like this A HREF=”http://www.masterlock.com/products/product_details.jsp?lockStyle=CombinationtypeOfEnvironment=IndoorslockUpValue=Low/Mediumcategory=MLCOM_BackpackLocksmodelNumber=MLCOM_PRODUCT_1554DCM#Specifications” sleeker, narrower version of the Backpack Lock/A:/p

It also auto-scrambles upon locking, so the arthritic user doesn’t have to bother with grabbing and turning the thing any more than necessary:/p

Design Within Reach Launches Mad Men Contest

0719maddwr.jpg

QVC has hopped on board with their recent Janie Bryant announcement and now Design Within Reach is trying to tie in to the Mad Men audience as well. Following new CEO John Edelman‘s move to get the company out among the public more, the furniture retailer has announced a collaboration with AMC, the show’s network, to launch a branded contest from the start of its fourth season (this Sunday) until August 4th, where they’ll pick a winner to “Mad Men his or her living room,” which include a sofa, an armchair, three tables, a rug and a lamp (you’ll have to provide the nicotine-coated wallpaper and hidden empty bottles of liquor yourself). Here’s Edelman on the contest:

“Viewers of Mad Men are already fans of the elegant, iconic furniture on the show, so a promotion with AMC was a natural for us,” says DWR President and CEO John Edelman. “We are passionate about modern design, whether it’s a contemporary take on mid-century lines, such as our Raleigh and Skagen collections, or original designs licensed by the manufacturer, like the AJ Floor Lamp by Arne Jacobsen, legendary creator of the Egg Chair.”

Dolman Sleeve Dresses Keep You Cool For Summer!

imageWhen the weather’s unbearably hot, you’re more likely to want to wear the least amount of clothing possible — tank, spaghetti-strap, one-sleeved, or full-on strapless — but hear me out! While dolman sleeves do require that extra bit of fabric, despite their intended volume, they’re still breezy and cool for the stagnant summer weather when you want to branch out from something sleeveless (or the occasional calls for something a bit more modest) but still want the same breathability. Despite their specific style, dolman sleeve dresses are totally versatile to boot! For example, go casual-cool with a cut-out t-shirt dress like this Splendid jersey dress or this tie-dye Gypsy 05 version, as worn by Nicky Hilton, or for a dressier night-out look, this sheer sequined dress from Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent is short but chic! Check out the slideshow for my 10 favorite dolman styles!
