New in the Material World

The Lazy Days of Summer

Pretty in Pink
Shine poolside or be the belle of Windansea in this bikini and cover-up designed by San Diego native Betsy Southwood for Sauvage. Available at Gone Bananas in Mission Beach, 3785 Mission Boulevard, 488-4900.

Paradise Found
Artist and designer Guy Buffet’s Gauguinesque line of clothes evokes places tropical. Alive with Polynesian folklore, flowers and animals, Buffet’s creations for men and women are licensed by Reyn Spooner and available at Garys Studio in Del Mar Plaza, 794-0740, and Garys Island in Horton Plaza, 238-7170, and Fashion Valley, 683-7944.

Join the Club
Here’s one club just about everyone can afford to join. The folks who brought you Laurel and the WineSellar & Brasserie now introduce the WineSellar Club. For less than $30 a month, two bottles of hard-to-find wine (one red, one white) are sent to the member’s home or office, along with a description of the wines, winery and winemaker. In addition to the convenience factor, think of the added fun this delivery can bring to Monday night football or office meetings. 888-774-WINE.

An Umbrella for the HairSun protection for the skin is a given nowadays—but when it comes to hair, we usually throw a hat on it and call it a day. Yet at this time of the year, hair—dry and brittle from days at the beach and pool—can resemble the scorched hillsides of Lakeside. The Sun HairCare Kit by René Furterer of Paris offers a full line of sun-shielding products that clean, condition and revitalize. At Alexander Perfumes, La Jolla, 454-2292.

Light Waves
Bold primary orbs of hand-blown Italian glass give this floor lamp from Concord Lighting a space-age touch à la The Jetsons. Also available as a hanging candelabra, it uses incandescent or halogen bulbs. 1176 Morena Boulevard, 275-2303.
