The woes of having a low cell phone battery has become a thing of the past with portable charges. Portable chargers are becoming one of the must-have items for people on-the-go. The problem is… they're not so portable when you're carrying a cute little purse or only have your back pocket to carry things in. The most stylish answer … QBracelet! The genius people at Qbracelet have developed an easy-to-carry portable charger to keep your phone charged in the most stylish way. This unisex designed bracelet actually looks like a modern piece of jewelry and is compatible with iOS and Android devices.
Scroll down to the video below to see how it works.
You know we love a good collabo and this one ranks in our top five in the past year. Parisian brand KENZO has teamed up with New Era to create one of the most sought after fashion accessories today. We've been geeking out them and have scoured the fashion planet for these hot accessories. So far we've found a few at Opening Ceremony. You can also purchase the Spring 2013 collection on the KENZO site, but sizes are limited, but we prefer the Fall 2012 collection with the large embroidered logo on the front of the hat. The Spring collection is too timid with the logo. The color combinations were also a lot cooler in the fall collection. Either way, they're hot & the accessible $60 price tag is so worth it.
These are a COOL must have for the sunny days ahead.
Now back to Our Adventures in Thailand feature. I can't believe that I almost forgot to share this heart-stopping fashion moment with you!!!
So I'm on the BTS (sky train) minding my own business (well not really... there was an American couple chatting it up next to me and I was all up in their convo). Anyways... as I sat quietly eavesdropping, the train stopped, doors opened, and I literally gasped as a lady stepped onto the train with a reflective work of art casually dangling from her arm. I quickly looked around to see if anyone noticed my reaction and when the coast was clear, I went back to my gawking. Suddenly, all I could hear were my frantic thoughts... "What the...?" "Where is it from?" "Who makes it?" "Who is this lady?" I was getting dizzy with all the thoughts and questions that flew across my mind. When I regained my composure, I leaned over to Terrance and whispered... "That is the COOLEST freaking bag ever!" All it took were a few clever search words to find out that the fashion wonder was the ISSEY MIYAKE BAO BAO Bag. Hello! From what I could gather, it had been in the market for about 1 year and half (maybe a little more), however the BAO BAO concept has been around since 2000. The design is so refreshing, crisp, clean and avant-garde. It is a certified "shut-it-down" statement piece. It moves fluidly and reflects light beautifully. The movement is partly because of the arrangement of triangles which create a prism or origami effect. Depending on what you put inside, what its sitting on, or if its just hanging, the shape of the bag changes... and you can literally transform the bag (see video to see what I mean). Its genius!
The Issey Miyake Bao Bao Bag gets major COOL points.
More info about the bag here. Let's just say I know what I want for my birthday! (hint hint Terrance)
Let's face it, men don't have the variety
of clothing & accessory options as women do. Men really have to be
creative to pull off a look that that is fresh, unique, and fun. The bow
tie has always been a symbol of confidence and have become such a great way for any guy to express his sense of style. Over the past several years, bow ties have really made a splash in
fashion. Designers are having fun and experimenting with different
fabrics and materials to create some truly eye-popping pieces. Of
course, women are wearing men's bow ties too. Celebrity fashion
trend-setters (like Janelle Monรกe & Rihanna) have been seen rocking them on the red carpet and on stage.
We've
chosen some of our faves for this post, but for the record, we do
prefer a classic, large silk bow tie that you have to actually tie
because classic is always cool. This post is about how designers have
been reinterpreting the classic bow tie with unconventional materials. Now these are not for everyone. Only a man with crazy confidence that wants to have a little fun with his style could rock these.
Mother's Day is around the corner and if you haven't already gotten
your act together and prepared for the person that has sacrificed
everything for you, loved you through your faults, encouraged and pushed
you to be your best, prayed for you, put clothes on your back, and food
in your stomach... then shame on you! Feeling guilty? Not to worry, we've pulled
together some gift ideas that will surely make mom happy on her special
day:
CUSTOM POP ART:Turn mom into a POP Icon. Get any photo turned into pop artwork at poplicate.com.
DESIGNER ACCESSORIES: Dior Sunnies and/or a neon Tory Burch Tote. Perfectly on trend for summer. Available at Nordstrom.
MINX MANI PEDI:Instead of the typical spa treatment... hook mom up with a minx mani at a super cool spa like 1160 Hair (my fave pamper shop).
DESIGNER FLAT:Get mom some fab flats like the United Nude Block Bow Flats or a bright pair of Tory Burch Reva flats.
BEACH CRUISER: You'd
be the coolest kid if you got mom a beach cruiser. Choose a light
color, or get it custom painted with her name or something she loves. Totally cute
for mom!
FLIGHT TO ANYWHERE: Send
mom away on a fab, all expenses paid, trip to somewhere she's never
been to. This is perfect if you have siblings so you can split the bill.
And there you have it. Moms are COOL and they deserve cool gifts.
