The Y3 shoe by Chanel Shi comes in two variants. One of them has a plain, no-nonsense avatar, but with a sole that gives it an unusual and pleasant flavor. The other avatar looks absolutely deadly, with its upper shell that is inspired by crustacean designs. The upper shell is removable, allowing you to switch between both avatars, making the Y3 great for when you want to look casual as well as when you want to dress down and grab a few eyeballs!
Designer: Chanel Shi
Fashion is fickle. What works today, may not work tomorrow. Which is why it was high time fashion got modular. The Dooq brings modularity to women’s footwear, allowing one sandal to take many different avatars, based on their look. The designers behind Dooq talk about wanting to create a ground-breaking movement in fashion that stems from the need to consume less. Studies show women spend money on their shoes, but not many of them get worn as much as they need to. The Dooq changes all that, allowing one sole to to be worn multiple times, with the upper elements changing based on the wearer’s choice and fashion sensibilities.
The Dooq comes with a variety of straps and embellishments, all of which can be magnetically attached and removed with ease. The design however, makes sure that they don’t come apart while walking. The Dooq even does the impossible feat (feet, feat, get it?!) of giving comfort and ergonomics due importance. The environment-friendly EVA sole is designed to effectively absorb shock, and make walking much more comfortable. I’d love to hear what the ladies of the YD family think!

James Dyson is one designer who pushes boundaries more than anyone out there. If there’s one designer you must look up to, it’s James Dyson and the culture he set up: To innovate alongside design, and like no other! Dyson’s name became a household one after they announced the Bladeless Fan, an appliance that used Dyson’s proprietary technology to emit a single stream of air while also multiplying it, by harnessing the air around it. It only made sense for that technology to see applications in other appliances. In comes the Dyson Supersonic, a hairdryer as advanced as its name. Using Dyson’s Air Multiplier technology, the Hair Dryer is like no other, taking design and engineering to an absolutely different level.
The design reflect’s Dyson’s clean and crisp style. The magic lies in the signature hole that runs through the hair dryer design. On the technology front, Dyson left no stone unturned, with a motor so small, it fits in the handle, and so quiet, you won’t even notice! A microprocessor reads the air temperature 20 times a second to ensure that it remains consistent, boasting of a user experience that only Dyson can ensure!
Obviously all this comes at a price. The Supersonic is priced at which seems like a lot, but once you understand what has gone into making the world’s best hair dryer, maybe you’ll shell out the cash!
Designer: Dyson
Happy 4th of July! Bet you have planned a great party and are looking forward to an evening of spectacular fireworks. We have our party planned too, mainly because we are celebrating a birthday our Creative Director – Long Tran’s birthday over the weekend. We are stuck and need your help… after the jump is a list of goodies and we can’t figure what to get him as a gift. Perhaps you can help us decide? Leave your suggestions in the comments.

Other than its unique donut shape, this USB rechargeable MP3 speaker is made of recycled pulp. It is ultra light despite its look and size. The sound is amplified by the vibration inside the hollow space of the speaker.
T – Block re-defines time through an original quality timepiece and has a very futuristic look.
Made to look like a keyboard, these drink coasters add a nifty touch to your workstation.
A simple yet stylish design for a cross body bag. It evokes a paper envelope with a tie but unlike paper, this bag is durable and strong.
Time marches on. The old must make way for the new, but sometimes it does not go willingly as with the Digital Destruction Watch. Set in an analog body, the traditional mechanical dial seems to have shattered to make way for the digital LCD screen.
My birthday is next, should I get myself this –
The Stix & Stones Necklace is part of the Perhacs Signature Series and each piece has been hand made by the designer, and is personally signed.
OR

Yes girl, the pleasure Gods at Jimmyjane are at it again with their latest orgasm inducing pleasure toy called Hello Touch. They’re finger tip vibrators which if you take your mind out of the gutter for a second and think about it – makes total sense. No other instrument is as, ahem… articulate as your fingers. Slap a couple of powerful vibrating motors on those babies and you’ve got climaxes for days. Their motto? Play naturally, stroke, tickle, and squeeze.
Designers: Jimmyjane

Girl, luxe pleasure toy maker JimmyJane done went the distance and upped the ante with their latest, the FORM 6. The female staff here at YD can attest to the, ah hem… intensity of these toys. The FORM 6 has an updated interface to make it easier for you to switch power levels and vibration patterns. Girl, they made it easier for you to get off. There’s a digital lock to prevent unwanted vibrations and the universal adapter now makes the FORM 6 travel friendly. You know you want one. I just might give one away. Say it and I will.
Designer: JimmyJane, Buy it here
