Geek Chic: Jennifer Kale Gordon Computer Bag

Just C — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 22:00:32 +0000

Yum! Yum! Yum! What more can you say about the Jennifer Kale Gordon Computer Bag? I know what you’re thinking and yes, I’ve checked out the price tag of the distressed leather bag, but how could you pass on it? Think of it this way, $325 is not a lot when it comes to protecting a computer that probably costs as much as $1000 (Mac peeps, it’s even more). Factor in using it for travel and tack on another $200 for your iPod (I always store mine in my computer bag when I’m traveling). Plus, it is on sale. Use discount code LOVE and receive an additional 15% off ($48.75 value). With the code, the Jennifer Kale Gordon Computer Bag ends up being $275. That’s a deal right…sorta…kinda.

The bag measures 19” width, 14” height, 6” depth and is available in charcoal and grape. I could so go for the grape! Be sure to comment and let me know what you think of this Geek Chic find.

Geek Chic: Uncommon Custom iPhone Cases

Just C — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:00:37 +0000

I’ll probably always be Team Blackberry as I’ve been a loyal user for many years, but I can appreciate all that iPhone has to offer. One of the biggest (and arguably most successful) industries is phone accessories. From cases to protective films to docking stations, you name it, we’ve all got at least one or two. I’m always searching for companies that allow you to create custom designs, whether a laptop sleeves, phone cases or other. Great news for all the iPhone users (Sidebar: Touch, iPad, and Blackberry Storm covers will be available soon). Allow me to introduce you to Uncommon.

Sure, the company has great pre-designed cases, but who wouldn’t want something entirely custom and unique to them. You can upload a picture, logo or basically any image of your choice. You can resize and rotate the image as well.

Geek Chic: With Lady Gaga As Creative Director, How Could Polaroid Not Be Great

Just C — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:00:05 +0000

Nearly two years after we said goodbye to the Polaroid instant camera, they’re staging a comeback. It gets better though because Lady Gaga is the newly appointed creative director (Click here for the official release). With Lady Gaga on board, I’m keeping a watchful eye on the brand as there’s no telling what designs may emerge. *rubs palms together in excitement and cues Outkast’s Hey Ya!* Shake it, shake, shake it, Shake it like a Polaroid picture…

The PIC 1000 is the completely redesigned, modern version of the Polaroid OneStep and will retail for less than $100.

It will be available in a range of fun colors and use classic Polaroid Color 600 Instant Film to produce the brand’s classic white border instant pictures. The Polaroid Color 600 Instant Film will work with both classic and new Polaroid cameras and will be offered in packs of 10 pictures. The new classic PIC 1000 camera and instant color film will be available at national retailers in 2010. – Polaroid Press Release

Geek Chic: Bluelounge Sanctuary Charging Station

Just C — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 16:00:18 +0000

How many of you have a least three things that need to be charged daily? From mobile devices to bluetooths to iPods, there are enough chords to drive you crazy.This is by far one of the coolest gadgets I’ve seen in a while. So much so, that I think I’ll write an open letter to BlueLounge asking that they design a one in a girly color.

The simple and compact design conceals a universal charger compatible with over 1500 electronic devices from most major brands and a USB port allowing hundreds more electronic devices to be charged using just The Sanctuary. Users can from now on charge their cell phone, PDA, Blackberry, iPod, MP3 player, and bluetooth headset simultaneously in one location.

Bluelounge Sanctuary Charging Station $119.99 / Amazon

Be sure to comment and let me know if you’d appreciate a Bluelounge Sanctuary Charging Station in a more feminine finish. I will so write that letter.

Geek Chic: Twiztt Candace, Cannes & Brenda Laptop Bags

Just C — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:00:44 +0000

With Christmas upon us, travel season is in full effect. With travel, that means packing up all of your important gadgets like your laptop and iPod. I have a pretty healthy amount of Bag Attitude, so there’s absolutely no way that I can have anything other than a really stylishly laptop bag. Forget about those ugly black or brown leather ones and don’t even mention the ones that roll (I cringe at the mere thought of them in spite of how convenient they might be).

Hong Kong label Twiztt has some of the chicest designs, at affordable prices, that I’ve ever seen. There are several styles and price points from which to choose, but as always I have my favorites. The only draw back is that each may be a bit more stylish than practical as none have shoulder straps.

Twiztt Candace Laptop Bag $90.00 / YesStyle

Twiztt Cannes Laptop Bag $120.00 / YesStyle

The Twiztt Brenda Laptop Bag is a bit more price at $190.00, but if you’re constantly on the go and want to travel in style, it’s the way to go.

12 Days of Gift Giving: Who Wouldn’t Love A Netflix Subscription

Just C — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 18:00:47 +0000

One of the best, most appreciated gifts are subscriptions. Now days, you can pretty much gift a subscription to just about anything: Chocolate of the Month, magazines, Wine of the Month, you name it. Gone are the days when the only option to rent movies is your local Blockbuster. Netflix pretty much changed the game and solidified a much more convenient way to watch the latest flicks. When it’s cold and rainy, snowing or you just feel like relaxing on a lazy Sunday afternoon, movies are great source of entertainment. Entertainment = a great gift option for him or her.

There are three plans from which to choose: 1 movie at $8.99, 2 at $13.999 or 3 at $16.99 per month. You select the number of months you’d like to gift and that’s it. No long lines in department stores, no traffic to fight through or standing in lines to get gift boxes. Why not give the gift of Netflix.

Have you finished all of your shopping or are you just getting started like a few people I know? Be sure to comment and let me know what you think of this gift idea.

Just C — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:00:29 +0000

Since basically everyone has an iPod and many have iPhones (I’m crackberry for life), a cool case would great gift/stocking stuff this season. For so long, we had to stick to basic, boring colors, but they are lots of companies that are designing super chic cases for gadgets. Gerbera Designs has 38 designs from which to choose and I’ve taken the liberty of posting a few of my favorites. The price ranges from $25.00 to $30.00 depending on the model you have, but it’s a small investment considering how much iPods cost.

Geek Chic: Nixon Trooper Headphones

Just C — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 20:00:22 +0000

Aside from fashion, I have a pretty hardcore love for music. My iPod stays with me at all times and I even keep a portable hard drive in my bag in case I need to download music on the go. I know what you’re thinking and yes, it’s that serious. While the earbuds that come with iPods suffice, I’ve been thinking more and more about investing in on-the-ear headphones. According to it’s ratings, the Nixon Trooper Headphones promise to have insane music quality for pop, rap, rock and metal. The design is even collapsible making it easy for storage and travel. Considering the fact that artists like Mos Def and Santigold support the brand, they’ve got to be pretty hot.

The headphones are also available in black, blue, silver and white, but of course magenta is my favorite. I’m such a girl.

Nixon Trooper Headphones $50.00 / Nixon
