Best of 2008 Winner: Favorite Luxury Gadget Accessory
Where would we be without a little fantasy? They're the anti-necessity, but I love to look at luxurious accessories, whether I could ever afford them or not.
I had a lot of faves this year, but my absolute fave coincides with your pick for favorite luxury gadget accessory of 2008!
Luxurious Geek: YSL Downtown Computer Case
Because this is an exquisite Yves Saint Laurent laptop bag, I'm going to ignore its less than designer "computer case" name — if computer is the new chic name for laptop, I guess I'm not "in the know" when it comes to luxury goods!
What can $1,795 buy you these days? Well it will get you one of these gorgeous patent leather bags that comes with stunning gold hardware and a functional brass lock and key for extra security.
Holy Burberry, Batman: It's $800 Laptop Time
It's not like I expected any bag from Burberry to be affordable, but that doesn't mean that the high prices don't take my breath away each time. For more than some people's monthly rent — $795 — you can be the proud and posh owner of one Burberry Brit Check Laptop Bag.
It's not the most pricey of designer laptop bags — YSL's $1,800 beauty comes to mind — but it's certainly up there.
What Is Your Favorite Luxury Gadget Accessory of 2008?
This is the year where it's been kind of bad to be the priciest, most luxurious gadget accessory, but just because we can't order anything, doesn't mean we can't peruse the menu!
My fave untouchable luxury accessories were either cast in leather, like Mulberry's and YSL's laptop bags, real gold, like Tiffany's Camera Bracelet and the Solid Gold Flash Drive, or gold lookalike — as in LaCie's Golden Disk Drive and Gold Python BlackBerry Purse.
Which one is your ostentatious fave?
Tiffany & Co.'s Gold and Diamond Camera Charm Bracelet
I'm not typically the kind of girl who is drawn to Tiffany & Co., but when they make such a geeky item, it's an obvious play for my affections!
This Camera Charm Bracelet is 18-carat gold with a little diamond for the lens — that actually rotates. Way too rich for my blood though — $1,500 for the charm alone, and another $1,500 for the chain.
Do You Ever Carry Around Your Laptop Naked?
How can a girl who is such a handbag aficionado not have an equally stylish laptop bag? This is the question I thought of when I saw Nicole Richie carrying around her MacBook Pro to her DUI class, no laptop bag or sleeve in sight.
I know Nicole shells out for Balenciaga, so maybe she just needs someone to point her in the direction — maybe a YSL laptop carrier, or a gorgeous Bottega Veneta?
