Bang & Olufsen Form 2: Headphone happiness at last!

I've been in search of the perfect over-the-head headphones that I can leave at work, since I recently realized that my earbuds actually hurt my ears (a combination of the intensity of my music and the way they fit into my ears, and my low pain threshold). At home I have my bulky-but-beautiful Bose, but I didn't want to make another $100+ investment for something that will definitely result in back-to-back bad hair days and ultimately may end up walking off without me one night.

Tracking fashion with Street Peeper

Now that New York Fashion Week is over, if you're still looking for a fashion fix, check out the Street Peeper to get the pulse on what people are wearing from cities all over the world. Think of it as The Satorialist gone global.

This website launched by Phil Oh, author of "Secrets of the Model Dorm," has photographers from Berlin to São Paulo to Jakarta to New York capturing anyone with styling prowess. Street Peeper also covers general lifestyle trends, events, and news, such as runway shows and store reviews. Each news item is still curated by Street Peeper's editorial staff, which keeps things slightly left of the mainstream.

What I love about street fashion and this site is the demonstration of quirky personal style. Street Peeper shows that attitude, and a good eye more than makes up for lack of money when you're expressing yourself through what you wear.

Blow your hair dry with a revolver

Just in case your current hairdryer hasn't already been mistaken for a gun by airport security, Japanese Noda-ya is selling the revolver-inspired Western Dryer for the next time you arrive for your flight way too early.

What better way to kill a few hours than to be detained for spending 4,000 yen (about $35) on a blow-dryer?
