How Much Do These Luxury Gadgets Cost?
We all know that gadgets can cost a lot of money, but some fall into my "look but don't touch" category. I'm willing to shell out a pretty penny if the gadget's cost per use is way low (like splurging on an iPhone — I use it everyday!), but I'll steer my pocketbook clear of these items! Find out if you're a good judge of cost character with this fun quiz.
Geek Out: Do You Charge Your Gadgets Before Your First Use?
I finally invested in the Clarisonic device that Bella has been raving about and rushed home to try it, only to find the instructions suggest charging the device for 24 hours before its first use. It was the ultimate luxury gadget letdown — all I wanted to do was test it, and I had to wait patiently.
Most battery experts claim you can prolong battery life by charging them fully before their inaugural use.
The Beat Goes On with Dr. Dre's New Headphones
If you've always wanted to rock out like one of the most respected rappers in the music industry, then feast your eyes on these beauties — the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. Set to make their debut this Friday, and retailing for $350 (I know, totally pricey, but hear me out before you get turned off), the Beats headphones are like what a Bentley is to cars — luxurious, high quality, and worth every penny.
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.
The Dior Phones Are Real and Really Expensive
The rumored Christian Dior phones? Well, they actually exist and will be officially announced today. The company is hoping to tap into new markets in China and Russia, much like Prada and Dolce & Gabbana, its competitors in luxury goods, and those who have already succeeded in the mobile phone industry.
Can You Guess What This Is?
I'm stoked about the future of technology and design, because I'm witnessing products now that look like my favorite futuristic movies that I watched back in the day! From sleek cell phones to high tech beds to lounge on, concept design is becoming an obsession of mine. Although this little gadget performs a well known function, you might not be able to tell by its design.
What Is Your Dream Tech?
Ever since I saw these amazing outdoor home theaters on Unplggd and GeekAbout, I've been having some major personal drive-in fantasies. Of course, that's a slippery slope, because then I start thinking, well, if I could afford that, I'd have a 52-inch flat screen, a bathroom tricked out with a TV and an iPod dock, and a hybrid Mini Cooper (I'd commission it!). So now that I've spilled, tell me ladies, if money were no object, what fantasy gadget would you have?
Hi-Can Canopy Bed Makes Lounging Extra Comfy
I'll admit, there are days when I don't want to get out of bed and would rather lay around watching movies and funny vids on YouTube. But that would mean getting out of bed in the first place, which totally defeats the purpose! If you have the notion to completely veg-out (and have a few extra grand lying around) consider the Hi-Can Bed a superb investment.
Would You Live on Only Ramen To Get a Gadget?
Some people may go to extremes to buy the gadgets they love. We've all heard the stories of Apple fans sitting outside for days in the cold for the iPhone, and others plunking down hundreds of dollars to scalpers for the latest game console that isn't available on store shelves. Have you ever gone the distance to get your hand on a gadget that you just couldn't live without?
Prada Ombre Laptop Bag: Love It or Leave It?
I would never be able to justify the $1,116 price tag of this Prada laptop bag, but it's still pretty fabulous eye candy, don't you think?
I'm excited that Prada brought its ombre theme over to laptop bags that a chic geek can appreciate, but paying as much for your bag as you do for your laptop?! I don't know.
