GeekSugar — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 03:30:11 -0700

The free-spirited Betsey Johnson has done it again with this wristlet phone satchel, which is large enough to hold a cell phone, small wallet and lipstick. Dubbed the "Call, Me Betsey" bag, you are certainly going to get your retro telephone fix with this kitschy novelty purse! I actually liked her eccentric laptop sleeves, but this Springtime accessory has got to go. As a cell phone charm? Cute. As a cell phone bag? Not so cute. What do you think? Other colors include black, pink and purple - Check em' out below. Each bag costs $65.

Betsey Johnson Laptop Sleeves: Love or Leave?

GeekSugar — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 16:00:11 -0800

Be the biggest fashionista this holiday season with one of these heart-studded Betseyville by Betsey Johnson laptop sleeves. Considering most of you loved the leopard Betsey Johnson laptop sleeve, I think it's safe to say you'll probably take a liking to these as well. Each glossy patent laptop case comes with the Betseyville logo embroidered on the front with a giant gemstone over the letter "i." The top includes a zip closure and the interior-wall pocket comes with a Velcro closure. Available in red, gold, black patent, and silver. Priced at $35. Too flashy for you or do you love it?

Time to turn a dorky fabulous gal into a sexy computing vixen! This Betseyville 'Betsey Motif' laptop case by Betsey Johnson (try saying that three times), $35, is sure to give the plainest laptops (and outfits for that matter) some flair. Each case is fully padded with a large velcro pocket inside so your laptop stays secure. Not a fan of this exotic print? Check out the other colors including black and antique rose. Considering I paid the same price for my boring black sleeve, I'd consider getting this and spicing up my laptop transport a bit. What are your thoughts?

Leopard and Faux Alligator Skin Laptop Sleeves: Geek or Chic?

GeekSugar — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 06:00:04 -0800

I came across these funky laptop sleeves at CES, which just so happened to be on display beside some chic Miu Miu cell phone cases (yes, I was drooling)! I wish I had more details to share about these unique sleeves (like price and designer name), but until I get the 4-11, I'm curious to know if you think they are tacky for everyday use or super stylin'? For some reason they remind me of the heart-studded laptop sleeves by Betsey Johnson - flashy and fashionable!

The Miss Broome cell phone and iPod charms bring kitschy fun back to protecting your gadgets sans Hello Kitty, glitter or feathers. The line, which touts a marine and rock-inspired theme and is adorned by buttons and youthful embroidery, is made up of characters like "Two Sloops," "Captain Shivers," "Howdi-Culture," "Howd-Oui," and "Road Howdy," and seem to have a youthful Betsey Johnson influence. They each cost $30 and are 5-inches high and 3 inches wide. They have a zipper and key ring so they can attach to your key chain or purse.

Love It or Leave It? Prada Laptop Bag

GeekSugar — Tue, 08 May 2007 15:02:15 -0700

I must be suffering from Spring fever or something because I can't seem to pull myself away from these wild and colorful prints! Last week, I showed you the exotic leopard laptop case by Betsey Johnson which a majority of you loved and a few of you hated. Nonetheless, I am carrying on my leopard streak with this Prada laptop/messenger bag which was featured on Purse Page. First things first, let's ignore the ginormous $1512 price tag (and the fact it's made from real pony hair) and try to focus on its positive. It is in fact Prada, which translates to leather, luxury, style and quality. And it has an adjustable shoulder strap which measures up to 52" which is kinda nice. I guess since it's the real deal it's somewhat appealing to me. What are your thoughts?
