Designers embraced their inner Cleopatras and Tutankhamens this season, offering fresh takes on Egyptian costume (click for slideshow). At Anna Sui, hieroglyphs provided the basis for elaborate prints, while Sophia Kokosalaki worked in a pharaoh-worthy palette of lapis lazuli and gold. Andrew Gn amped up tunic dresses with embroidered metal collars, and Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock of Vena Cava accessorized with slinky silver breastplates. “Fashion is about escape. It makes sense to fixate on a historical era that no one can get to,” says Mayock. “I think everyone just wants to dream right now.” We’re all for that, but it’s probably best to leave Orlando Pita’s “Nefertiti-chic” hairdos at Christian Dior to the ancients.

Starbucks Corp. said it will offer limited free Wi-Fi service at its stores beginning this spring.

Under the Seattle coffee giant's (NASDAQ: SBUX) plan, customers with a Starbucks card can use up to two hours of free Wi-Fi service per day. And AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) broadband customers will have unlimited free Wi-Fi access.

After two hours, non-AT&T customers can purchase additional Wi-Fi access for $3.99 for an additional two hours, or monthly memberships will cost $19.99.

Starbucks said it will phase in its new Wi-Fi plan "on a market-by-market basis with store implementation beginning this spring and completed by the end of the year."
