There are so many pretty iPhone cases out there that I covet, especially ones like this Watercolor Leaves case or this Van Gogh-inspired wrap case . But sometimes, just sometimes, fashion can take second place to function and this new Hy…

I take my tunes quite seriously, so I always need to have the right gear to do justice to the music. For me, the right headphones have to feel good, provide the right sound balance, and look hot to boot. And now I've found a perfect pair…

I have the terrible habit of dropping my little point-and-shoot camera right into my bag without first putting in the case. Now that I have a camera I love , I've gotten better. But there's nothing like the incentive of a cute new camera…

As a runner, I've used my fair share of GPS watches, all of which tend to have the same issue: Too darn big for my wrist. And while I personally don't mind strapping my smart phone to my arm in my beloved Arm Pocket , that's not an optio…

If you've got a laptop and a seat at Starbucks that should have a brass plaque with your name on it, then this Kate Spade laptop case is right up your alley. I love the "Out of Office" Laptop Sleeve which is the perfect cheeky message in…

I admit when I hear the word stylus, I still think of that awful little black toothpick-y thing that came with my very first Palm Pilot. Now, it's so exciting that they've become stylish, comfortable to hold, and more importantly, harder…

I think it's pretty well-established at this point that I'm a fan of fashionable tech , and the same goes for cases for the popular new Kindle Fire . I use any excuse possible to accessorize my gadgets with beauties like this Van Gogh iP…

I got such a giggle out of this Case-Mate collection of phone cases from one of my favorite design teams. Besides...monkeys? Hard to go wrong. Designers Irene Chen and Matthew Grenby of iomoi are best known for their stationery and paper…

Glitter is so fabulous in theory and often so wretched in reality. It sloughs off eyelids yet refuses to budge from fingernails. That handmade card in the school bag leaves your car looking like a fairy murder scene. And yet... it's so s…

Ever since the big Apple announcement last week, I've been contemplating taking the plunge on a MacBook Air . As excited as I am for this possibility, I'm probably more excited about all the fun ways to accessorize the Air--like this gor…

I realize this might be faulty logic, but I'd like to believe if I'm going to drop a pretty penny on a MacBook Air , I might as well splurge for a gorgeous case as well. And oh looky here, this is exactly the one I want. The stunning lea…

It's been a long time since I've carried around my SLR, but one thing was certain when I did that I learned from my shutterbug friends: Never use it without a camera strap. With that in mind, just look at these gorgeous camera straps I f…

The Avengers may be out blowing up aliens and eating Shwarma, but the Justice League is right here, saving the world in a slightly more quiet fashion. If the dad in your life likes being a hero as much as he likes reading about them, we'…

If you've got a gadget-head dad in your life who has everything already, or you just want to give him something that's sure to turn a few heads at the office, then I have found the gift for you. Though I have to admit, they're so cool I …

I get a huge kick out of tech that ironically combines the old with the new, but it still has to be functional. Hey, I'm a parent after all, and practicality reins supreme. The perfect example: this iPhone case from Jack Spade. The Payph…

Ahhh...I still remember the day I picked up my very first MacBook like it was yesterday. Pristine white shell, fancy schmancy inner workings. It was like reaching nerd-vana while floating on top of a wispy wireless cloud. Five minutes la…

Since the second I brought my MacBook Air home, my husband has had one steely eye set on it. Probably two. So I am seriously considering make myself wife of the year, and getting him one of his own for Father's Day. But if I do, I'll be …

Just when I thought I'd seen a cover for every gadget, I found these real wood skins for my husband's favorite headphones on sale, and I couldn't click to buy fast enough. I've never quite laid eyes on anything like the Lazerwood for Bea…

One cracked screen later, I'm thinking an iPhone case for Father's Day might have just entered the serious consideration set. I'm loving this one which is stylish, sophisticated, and definitely not frou-frou. The Michael Kors iPhone case…

Serious audiophiles have very different standards for their headphones than I do. I admit it. As someone who doesn't need a $200 headset to answer phone calls or watch movies on my iPad when I travel, I've got other considerations beside…

The Jawbone Jambox might be one of our favorite household gadgets, with amazing sound from such a tiny speaker that syncs up via your smart phone or computer's Bluetooth. But when I told my husband that they had just launched the Big Jam…

After seeing the Avengers movie yesterday, I fully believe that the Avengers are the toughest superheroes in the world (and Asgard!). So who else would you trust to keep your phone safe from dents, scratches, and villainy? [we've got mor…

Apparently my own mom knows how much I love my iPad , since she gave me the most amazing gift for my birthday to go with it. My new Haiku iPad sleeve is my new favorite case, made from eco-friendly cyclePET fabric that's made from 100% p…

It's amazing which designers have jumped into the laptop bag market these days. A few weeks ago, I was searching for this gorgeous spring/summer Marc by Marc Jacobs tote online for a good price, when I stumbled on a laptop bag of his tha…
