Many of us enjoy hearing music while cycling or walking around in traffic. This is potentially risky because the earphones makes it hard to hear what’s going on around you. TOPlays new earphones solves this problem.

TOPlays earphones make it possible to hear everything that’s going on around you, while listening to music. This is due to the fact that the earphones are fastened to the earlobe instead of being put directly into the ear. This feature also makes the ear pressure minimal, and protects the children’s hearing.

TOPlays earphones come in simple white-, black- and silver designs, as well as the more child friendly skull-, football- and panda designs. You can buy them at ME-WE SHOP at $39.98 and $44.88 USD.

Free People is an online store, and a brand, offering fabulous clothing, accessories and shoes, with a sort of modern hippie look.

My favorite part of their site is the selection of stylish sunglasses. The use of color and round feminine shapes in their glasses are so lovely, and it makes me daydream of summer flirts, sunny beaches and road trips.

What’s so great about the Free People store is that it offers everything you need for the “hippie style”, so you’ll have no problem finding what you need to make your own fabulous outfit. If you lack inspiration, or have problems seeing how the different pieces will go together, Free People have made a selection of whole outfits. Click on the outfit you like and choose which parts of it you’d like to buy. Could it be any easier?

The Free People clothing are made in adult sizes.

Some of you may have seen the super cool Alien Abduction Lamp, and, just as I, got depressed upon realizing that it was not a real product yet, and there were no real plans to get it out on a shelf anywhere.

A few days ago though, I got a message which made my day. The creator of the lamp, Lasse Klein, wrote that they are working on getting the lamp into production, and it will most likely be in the stores sometime during 2008! I love this lamp, and I will actually go as far as predict a couple of awards to its genius developer!

I’ll keep you updated on this and in the meantime you can check out The Alien Abduction Lamp site for more information on it.

I can’t wait for this!

Stella McCartney designed the Bunny Rucksack for LeSportsac. It’s cute and it’s practical. Both the head and tummy unzip to hold lots of a kids essential necessities.

The backpack is available for pre-order at LeSportsack. You can choose from three different prints/colors, and they all cost USD 120 each.

I just came by this gorgeous Skull Pendant by Lyie Van Rycke. It is on sale right now at kim&maki for USD 55, compared to the USD 88!

The skull is vermeil, which is gold-coated silver, and it is hanging on a cotton cord.

The Skull Pendant has a slight rough touch to it, which makes it a perfect everyday necklace.

It looks like kim&maki has a lot of good bargains, so if you’re looking for some nice jewelry for teenage kids this is a great place to check them out.

The Message Tape is a tape you can write messages on, by blacking out the unwanted white dots and lines. It comes as a digital version and a pixel version, both with white dots/stripes on a black background.

The Message Tape would work well as door signs and nametags. It’s easy for kids to create nice letters and numbers on it, and for younger kids it might be quite a mind exercise to black out the right dots and stripes.

Both tapes come in two different sizes, which can be purchased at SUCK UK for 5 and 7,50 pounds.
