Floral Charging Station: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:30:43 -0700

I had no idea Laura Ashley was making charging stations. Just kidding. But this Floral Charging Station ($165) at Neiman Marcus reminds me of the '90s designer who loved - I mean, really loved - her florals.

This flowery place to store your gadgets could fit right into a shabby chic interior, but even there, it could be too saccharine. Love it? Make sure any testosterone in your living space is aware of what's about to house his very manly gadgets.

Would you buy this?

Cath Kidston Floral Digital Radio: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:00:56 -0700

I am unapologetically behind the declaration that I consider myself a girly-girl. I don't always love pink gadgets, but I don't always hate them either. But I have a line. This Cath Kidston DAB digital Roberts radio is currently walking my line.

I just don't know if precious-looking roses mix with my digital electronics, but, on the other hand, the radio in a plain color would have a vintage look - which, of course, the rose print owns. But. Still totally conflicted. What do you say?

TopShop Floral Laptop Bag: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 11:04:25 -0700

We finally have TopShop stateside, and even though I haven't gotten to hit up an actual store yet, I tend to love everything I see online from them. Imagine how stoked I was then, to find that they have a laptop case - the Posey Laptop Bag ($70)!

You know I've been on the prowl for edgy-chic laptop bags, and the UK-based retailer has delivered . . . or has it?

I can't decide if the floral print is too mumsy, or if the black background provides just the right contrast for the sweet print.

Let's ask the really important question here: would Kate Moss wear it? In the meantime, tell me what you think of it!

Floral PS3 Decals Make Your Console Feel Pretty

I've already exposed you to the beauty of decorative decals for your Wiis and laptops, so what about that shiny and new PS3 you have sitting in the corner? Kudos if you already have some fancy furniture to stow your consoles in, but what if that glistening black PS3 doesn't exactly go with the relaxing Zen living room look you were going for?

Etsy seller NoveltyGallery is selling these stylish PS3 floral skins, which only cost $19 each and are quite chic if you ask me (not to mention, this Twitter-inspired one!).

And for those of you who are wishing you were PS3 owners right now, don't fret, this seller also offers them for the Xbox 360, the PSP, the DS Lite, the Wii, and for laptops.

Pixelated Print Pillow: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 15:33:02 -0700

Geeky pillows that also look extra luxe? Color me happy. These pixelated-floral print Mixelated Pillows (about $53) are pretty darn cool looking, and they seem to bring your computer screen to life for your interior.

On the other hand, they remind me of this Matthew Williamson pixelated scarf in that I know that I like it, but actually using it is a different story.

Janine King Designs really knows how to hit a home run when it comes to designing some geek chic accessories for our gadget gear! I've already drooled over her floral print Kindle case, and now she's just come out with these fashionable Kindle clutches!

Celebrate Spring With Flicka Laptop Bags

GeekSugar — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 05:45:41 -0800

Springtime is bad on the wallet - I'm shelling out for pedicures, sandals, floaty little dresses, and all in the name of not being able to wear dull neutrals as the sun comes out. I need bright, inspirational colors! So of course, I can't keep myself from wanting, and needing, a new bright floral laptop bag.

It's unfortunate that these Flicka Brief Bags made their way into my line of sight today, because I am powerless to resist them. I wouldn't even classify them as girly today - today, they are Spring! They are Happy! They are Now!

Buy one now (for $80) before your inner Anna Wintour tells you to stick to classic colors.

GeekSugar — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:44:44 -0700

Looking to put Super Mario Bros. onto your desk? Then check out the geekiest floral arrangement ever, the Fire Flowers.

The bouquet is sadly sold out, but the seller has plenty of other Mario-themed fun. As for the flowers, would you set these out and bask in their beauty?

If you're mulling a "totally geeky," I might admit to swaying your vote by showing you how a home decor blogger snagged the flowers for a home office.

Project Runway Here I Come: Fashion Idea Generator App

GeekSugar — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:00:13 -0700

Amateur designers, take note: if you're ever out of ideas for your next fabulous garment to make, download the 99 cent Fashion Idea Generator app for your iPhone.

The next time you're amid swaths of fabric and an idle sewing machine mocking you with its silence, bring this app up and shake: it'll randomly provide you with three fashion keywords, like color, fabric, and technique.

"Beige" + "Floral print" + "boat shoes"? Genius.

Get ready to be on that stage.
