My New Laptop Bag: Target's Version of Hayden Harnett's Ibiza
You've heard my gushing about Hayden Harnett's Ibiza, but I was stalling on buying it, even though I've seen it in person and know it's a quality bag; I just hadn't gotten around to justifying the $200 price tag yet.
So when Hayden Harnett revealed its capsule collection for Target, I ran down there, not even expecting to find a laptop bag, just some great accessories. Lo and behold, what did I see?
The "Sort Of" Digital Picture Frame
If you haven't warmed to the idea of digital picture frames yet, but are hot for Apple, then this Photoshop Picture Frame might be what you want!
The artist silk screens the window image onto the frame, and then you slip your photograph into the frame. I love the idea, but I'm pretty sure I'd be worried about how much battery I have left every time I looked at it.
Cordwrap: Love It or Leave It?
The downside to all these gadgets I love is that my apartment looks like a tourism ad for Cord Country. Solutions abound, but they're usually an endeavor in which you have to unplug and reorganize, which stresses me out to even think about (not to mention not wanting to disconnect certain electronics).
Here's something totally different: Cordwrap ($29)!
Salvatore Ferragamo Headphones Tie: Love It or Leave It?
When I hear Salvatore Ferragamo, I generally think "shoes I can't afford," not "geeky ties," but it seems that the renowned Italian design house is now in the business of making my boyfriend happy with this legit tie.
Run-of-the-mill from afar, but when you look close, the subversion begins! Tiny CDs and headphones are printed on fine blue silk.
Hand-Crafted "Wii Belong Together" Print
How adorable! Elise Towle Snow created this game-inspired "Wii Belong Together" print for her Wii-obsessed husband for Valentine's Day. By using a Gocco (a silk screening machine from Japan), the artist used bright white ink on red acid-free paper to create this piece of geeky artwork.
Special Edition Nylon Zune: Love It or Leave It?

AB Sutton's Luxurious Leather iPhone Case
Remember when I posted the pink silicone Jam Jacket for the iPhone? Most of you thought that it wasn't classy and sleek enough for the chic device, which I totally agree with. Even the Elan Snap-In from Griffin didn't get much lovin', but thankfully designers are realizing that an expensive phone like the iPhone needs to be wrapped in pure luxury.
C'Elegance = Chic Cell Phone Bling Bling
Icing out your cell phone with personalized charms and gems has long been an artistic and fashionable outlet in Europe and Asia, but has only recently begun to sneak into American culture.
