Gift Guide: Portable Bluetooth Speakers For Travelers
Continuing Vee Travels’ gift guide series, this week features an article for Details.com I wrote on new bluetooth speakers that are now available in all kinds of odd, oblong and sexy shapes. The added bonus to these well designed speakers selected, they are all travel-friendly and would be perfect for the globetrotting techie in your life. See a few below, with the full set on Details.com:
Logitech UE BOOM
Providing 360 degrees of quality sound from up to 50 feet away, this cylindrical design works well both indoors and out. The body is available in six different colors and is protected by a plasma coating, which means it’s both water- and stain-resistant. The gadget doubles as a speakerphone and can last 15 hours on a single charge. ($199, Ultimate Ears)
Outdoor Tech Turtle Shell 2.0
Sporting a rugged, shock- and water-resistant decagonal shape, Outdoor Tech’s Turtle Shell 2.0 come in seven possible colors (including purple, orange and sea-foam green). Offering 12 hours of play and talk time, the device functions at a range of 32 feet. There’s also a built-in mic and an all-purpose mount available so you can attach it to one’s bike. ($129, Outdoor Tech)
11+ Sound1
Korean start-up 11+ released this small, minimalist speaker in September with eye catching angled surfaces. The shell is just three inches tall and play time lasts up to 20 hours. To connect the speakers, one must use the provided audio cable, making them essentially wired speakers to your wireless devices. ($85, Leibal.com)

Gift Guide: 6 Men’s Fragrances For Every Occasion
The holiday shopping season is among us, which means it’s time to start thinking gifts. Continuing Vee Travels’ gift guide series, this week covers six great men’s fragrances to use in different occasions and situations:
Make A Statement: Odin’s 11 Semma
Recently released from the New York boutique Odin, the 11 Semma is vibrant, but not overpowering. Using a concoction of chile pepper, clove, myrrh, cinnamon and tobacco leaf, Odin’s 11 Semma offers a sweet, woodland masculine and feminine scent that is perfect for man (or a woman as it is unisex) who wants to stand out. (3.4 oz, $165, Odin)
Vacation Refresher: James Bond 007 Ocean Royale
When James Bond comes to mind, there are a number of ocean and Caribbean scenes to recall, which is why the icon’s fragrance brand went with the sea for the inspiration of the 007 Ocean Royale. The user will feel refreshed when the bergamot, lime, anise and seaweed accord touches his skin, then the Jamaican woods take over to get the user even more vacation ready. (1.7 oz, $40, Khols.com)

Stylish Women Found At NYFW SS14
Along with capturing men’s street style photography this New York Fashion Week, I captured women’s as well for Latina Magazine, and it would be a crime not to feature the best dressed ladies I came across.
Girls can have a lot of fun with fashion due to the amount of womenswear options available and range of styles choices they can try, hence there being about 100 times more women’s fashion magazine brands in the world than men’s (which is good or bad depending on how much content you want to read and look at).
For women’s fashion inspiration for your girlfriend, wife or bestie, see over 30 stylish looks that can help you pick out the next outfit for your female partner or friend (be it a gift or styling help if they ask for it); so make sure to bookmarks this page!
