A custom photo locket necklace like you’ve never seen before
I loved the camera necklaces from Strangely Yours we featured last year, but their new custom photo locket necklace is even more awesome. The wood is laser cut to look like a mini Polaroid camera (so cute!) with a blank “film” for your own photo so it...
The #GetSmartBag: A splurgy, kind of ridiculous, but very awesome example of tech meets fashion
In a world… (sorry, had to start that way since we’re talking Hollywood here) where cell phones are de rigeur and struggling to grab a selfie while fumbling with your evening clutch is not, it was inevitable that this would happen: The #getsmartbag...
Griffin ribbon wristbands make your fitness tracker an actual accessory. Awesome.
While I wouldn’t necessarily call my beloved Jawbone UP24 fashionable, it definitely is more so now thanks to these new ribbon wristbands from Griffin–a very cool innovation in the world of wearable tech and something we expect to see a lot more of soon....

Ooh, swanky designer iPhone wallet clutch from Michael Kors.
I recently saw photos of myself from a party in which I had my phone in my hand in every shot. Blergh. It’s not that I was texting the whole time–just that I didn’t want to carry much more than a phone, and I had no pockets on me.So when I see a...
Piquing our Geek: The iWatch concept
With the trend of wearable tech becoming enormous this year, I’ve had my eye on all the new wearable tech gadgets that keep popping up. I mean, what self-respecting geek hasn’t? But one thing missing has been Apple’s contribution, which is why...
USB jewelry says I love you in a digital world
