The invention of the iPhone brought tech geeks and status seekers alike rushing to the stores. Phones were flying off the shelf faster than Tickle Me Elmo back in the 90s.

Like every new technology, it's had its glitches. But recently a new one has come to light.

Apparently, women with long fingernails are having some issues.

According to the LA Times, this is causing a big problem and some women want the solution to be a stylus -- a plastic pointer much like ones used on PDAs. However,

"many people assert that one of the iPhone's best traits is its ability to function without a stylus, the often-misplaced mini-chopstick required by the Palm Pilot and other earlier hand-held gadgets. Apple created the iPhone with a multi-touch screen, navigated by presses and swipes of the finger. Unlike a BlackBerry or Treo, which has a separate keyboard, the iPhone requires you to type by pressing a virtual keyboard that appears on the screen."

So what's the solution? Add the stylus? Cut your nails? Will anyone ever really be happy?

When it comes to accessorizing for men, people feel that the options are pretty limited - but why does this have to be? Yes men can look for watches, ties and shoes but there are so many other items that are just as amazing. This Braided Spinner ring is definitely a piece that a man can wear and has a great nautical look to it! I love that this sterling silver ring also spins over the inner band. I love that this is a simple look which will definitely create conversation and works well whether you're dressing casually or are dressed up! Available at Just Mens Rings, this is a site that is a must visit in order to begin enhancing your friend, brother, sig other or father's accessory collection. Without a doubt, this is a great gift for a special occasion or just because!

Just because a lady like to go camping does not mean she likes to be without amenities. At least not this lady.

Which is why I think the Picnic Trunk with Table by Design Within Reach would be a great summer purchase. (Now yes, we're talking about a weekend camping trip here, not back country backpacking!)

At $200 the price tag is a little steep, but the fashionable trunk includes everything you need for outdoor dining: two wine glasses, two melamine plates, cutlery, a corkscrew, two cotton napkins and salt and pepper shakers, plus a table that folds out -- allowing you to work on a level surface instead of a tree trunk or rock.

The trunk would make a great wedding gift for an outdoorsy couple, or even a nice treat for yourself.

Many of us have lusted after a pair of designer shades. Whether it's the gorgeous tortoise shell frames, or just the fancy logo, they can be enticing.

But are they worth the price tag? Jennifer Romolini from Shine says no since the FDA doesn't regulate sunglasses. Just because they cost a small fortune, doesn't mean they're protecting your eyes. Jennifer lists some ways to make sure you're getting the best sunglasses for your money.

1. Don't purchase a pair of sunglasses without a specific UV claim/label, whether they are fancy designer or not.

2. This label should reveal the amount of protection you're getting—what you're looking for is 95% UV reduction, but you can also take something called "UV-400" and “UV absorption up to 400nm,” which according to this story, is basically the same thing (eye wear may also be labeled "cosmetic," which means the lenses will block out just 70% of sun frying).

3. These guidelines have absolutely nothing to do with the price or label. Many drugstore brands, though probably not as stylish as you'd want, offer the highest level of protection. Conversely, many of the most luxury lines, offer zilch.

"On Wednesday, May 21, the Health Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee held, for the first time ever, a hearing on the bipartisan Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act. Championed by Representative DeLauro (D-CT) and Senators Snowe (R-ME) and Landrieu (D-LA), this bill would eliminate the practice of "drive-through" mastectomies, when women are forced to leave the hospital following their physically and emotionally difficult breast cancer surgeries before they and their doctors may feel they are ready to go home.

For the millions of women and families who have shared their horrific stories of "drive-through" mastectomies on myLifetime.com, this hearing — an important first step toward the passage of this bill — is 12 years too late. But for the nearly 200,000 women who will face breast cancer this year, it is about time.

This is just the first step. There is still a long way to go. You can help. Sign the petition today and urge Congress to continue to take steps to pass this bill. "

This weekend is Father's Day and if you need any last minute gifts here's some tips for you.

The Top Shelf Father's Day Guide is up on Mighty Goods. This year features every possible drink dad could ever want. I personally like the tequila in the hand painted bottle.

But maybe dad's not a drinker. For the more traditional father, Real Simple offers everything from golf bags to shoe shine kits.

And if dad's a techie, check out Digital Trends for every electronic he could ever dream of.

Here's to dad!

The bridal industry has taken off in recent years. Gone are the days of an affordable wedding or a court house ceremony. These days the average wedding costs about $27,000 and brides are stopping at nothing to make their day special.

Blame it on celebrities -- what with their double digit carat diamonds and their fairy tale weddings. Every day ladies are just trying to keep up!

But there comes a point when it goes too far, if you ask me. In a recent article by Newsweek I found out that some brides are making their bridesmaids sign legal agreements!

"If having to squeeze into a puffy, unflattering horror of a dress wasn't bad enough, now bridesmaids have another indignity to contend with. Some brides are so worried about the way their wedding party will look, they have a lawyer draw up a pre-nup that can include things like requiring that a bridesmaid not gain more than 7 pounds before the wedding, not consume too much alcohol at the reception, vow to take extra care of her skin and hair, and not to make any inappropriate advances toward male guests at the reception."

This is insane!

With summer comes heat and with heat comes sweat. There's no way around it. A traditional woman will pass it off as "glistening" or a "healthy glow". This works fine when it comes to your face, but when it comes to your armpits, there's no mistaking your sweaty shirt.

In the last few years companies like Dove have introduced "clinical strength" deodorants for wetness protection above and beyond your usual stick of powder fresh. I've heard mixed reviews on them and have been wary of the $9 price tag.

However in retrospect, $9 is a steal compared to what New York salon is offering. According to New York Magazine, Shizuka New York salon is offering a "underarm overhaul" that begins with a thorough steam cleaning of your armpits, followed by hair removal and a Botox injection into the sweat glands. All this can be yours for only $1,500.

Sweat free...until the Botox wears off.

What do you think...is it worth it?

Hey all you fashion freaks out there, have I got news for you. Love shoes? Want to read all about shoes? Then you're in luck.

Shoe Blog certainly lives up to its name. Not a post goes by without the mention of a great shoe and there's a forum so you can add your input. Check out their tribute to the late great Yves Saint Laurent.

Grand Mademoiselle is a girl after my own heart -- always in search of the prefect shoe. I think she nailed it with these Cassia ballet flats.

And then there's Shoeaholics Anonymous. Um..yes! Where do I sign up? She recently featured the gorgeous midnight blue Manolos featured in the Sex and the City movie. Drooool.
