| Coming up Roses
Just because it’s time to celebrate dad doesn’t mean we have to forget about mom. Statement jewelry is on trend this summer and big and bold rings are no exceptions. Francesca’s Collections (702.263.4485) is our go to place for trendsetting pieces sure to turn heads. We love this Of Roses and Thorns ring ($18) with rhinestones decorating this silveresque rose in bloom. The one-size-fits-all ring can dress up any casual outfit or make eveningwear sparkle. |

| Time is Ticking
Don’t let time run out to find dad that perfect Father’s Day gift. Oakley’s (702.614.1288) original TIME BOMB® watch underwent a makeover with architecture that completely reinvents the art of timekeeping. The Elite TIME BOMB® II ($2,750.00) has been rearmed as an all-mechanical Swiss automatic featuring 25-jewel auto-mechanical movement that never needs winding or batteries. The craftsmanship of Swiss watchmaking is accented by a sculptural band of lightweight titanium plates. Each plate is mounted separately over a composite core, an internal skeleton jacketed with UNOBTAINIUM® rubber. Kinetic energy is translated with every movement of the wrist and stored for a reserve running time of up to 38 hours. A carbon fiber bezel highlights a display of refined sophistication, augmented with a date indicator. Enhanced with anti-reflective coating, a crystal of pure sapphire protects the analog display, and the same durable material is used to create a window on the back of the case for viewing the mechanical engine. |

| Tech at its Best
For all our tech savvy dads who want the latest technology, the Apple (702.221.8826) store’s iPad (from $499) is a sure bet. From reading iBooks, sharing his favorite family photos, watching TV shows, listening to music, to checking e-mail and keeping the family calendar and contacts, dad will love the new iPad. |

More than 20 years ago, Don Johnson was looking fly sporting Carrera shades on “Miami Vice.” Fast forward two decades later and Carrera retro sunglasses are back at Solstice (702.263.5070) and causing a stir again in the world of fashion. Based on the original designs of the historic Carrera sunglasses that made them so successful in the eighties, the collection features 14 aviator styles, many of which are cast from their original molds. The styles come in a wide variety of retro frame color combinations including: brown orange, pink white, red, black yellow, turquoise, orange black, white blue and orange brown. We love the Winner/1 ($120.00) Carrera that would look great on any dad this Father’s Day. |
