Suunto Sports Watches Soar
Suunto has come a long way since it made the first portable, liquid-filled compass in 1936. Now one of our top Shopping searches, this Finnish company specializes in accommodating the outdoor enthusiast with remarkable multi-function sports watches.
Targeting specific sports -- including mountain climbing, diving, sailing, skiing, and a few others -- Suunto combines a variety of chronographic, navigational, and fitness-tracking features (such as GPS, altimeter, heart rate monitor, and transmitter) to create high-end time pieces for the modern athlete.

Red-Carpet-Ready Earrings
Miley Cyrus, known as the popular character Hannah Montana, wore gorgeous, long chandelier earrings that perfectly matched her red dress. Miss Cyrus wasn't the only glammed up gal with long drop earrings strutting her stuff on the red carpet on Oscar night. Screenwriter Diablo Cody wore stunning gold skull earrings that definitely stood out from the rest. "Project Runway" host Heidi Klum's long pink-and-red jeweled earrings matched the pink handbag she carried. But you don't have wear a Valentino gown to look great in long earrings -- you can put them on to glam up any outfit, even a cute pair of jeans.

Tissot's Touch Technology
Swiss watch brands rarely appear in our popular Shopping searches, but Tissot broke through this month. I bet the company's distinctive technology can take credit for the attention surge.
Tissot's signature T-Touch watch features traditional analog hands and a straightforward digital display, but don't let the simplicity fool you. With one push of its crown button, you can operate the touch-sensitive, scratch-resistant screen to activate the chronograph, altimeter, barometer, compass, thermometer, and alarm functions. The T-Touch comes with stainless steel, rubber, leather, titanium, and sterling silver bands.
As a watchmaker pioneer focused on multifunction-display, originality, and modern aesthetics, Tissot separates itself from its competition, and makes me wonder what this Danica Patrick-endorsed brand will come up with next.

Spotlight on Kenneth Jay Lane
He hobnobbed with the likes of Andy Warhol. He created custom jewelry for celebs and fashion icons, including Liz Taylor and Jackie Onassis. And he's the only jewelry designer appearing in this week's top shopping searches. He's Kenneth Jay Lane.
Featuring crystals, enamel paint, and plastic resin, Lane's sassy creations usually stay clear of precious metals and gems. His oversized bracelets, metallic belts, and flamboyant rings are in high demand not only by online shoppers but also by Hollywood's young fashionistas.
Although many of his vintage pieces are now considered collectibles, Lane still connects with the fashion-forward shopper looking for affordable style.

Brand Fusion Confusion
If you check the latest tech or fashion products this season, a weird titling trend surfaces: a cell phone with a high-class fashion name; a luxury watch with a car title; and a laptop tagged with a race car logo. These brand fusions confuse us, but the power of their catchy names certainly grabs our attention -- no matter which items these admired labels stick to.
While mining for hot Web shopping searches this season, I found these top brand-fusing products that had me scratching my head:
1. LG Prada cell phones
2. Acer Ferrari laptops
3. Cartier Roadster watches
4. ASUS Lamborghini laptopsposted by Arnold Chao | 05.22.09 2:43pm | Add a Comment (8) | Permanent Link-
