Things like laptop bags, cellphone and MP3 player cases – all very useful items that lots of us use daily.  If we’re going to carry things like laptops, why not make sure your case is as stylish as the rest of your accessories?

One solution is the “Bunny and Lace” laptop bag from Etsy seller, Track & Field:

Track & Field creates unique, handmade laptop cases, messenger bags and accessories and then hand-silk screens them with their own designs.  The finished bags have a vintage feel, but with a modern esthetic.

This particular bag is accented with a silk screened rabbit and lace doily and was made to fit a 13″ Macbook, with other sizes available.  They also will create a custom-sized laptop bag – at no additional charge!

How about a litttle treat for your college kid who loves music?

What about for your friend who can’t part with their MP3 player… for anything?

iPopperz are fun ear bud-style headphones that are available in everything from sparkling crystals to edgy “graffiti” inspired designs.  They’re compatible with MP3 players, iPods, cellphones and pretty much anything with a standard headphone jack.  The ear buds even come with three different sizes of ear pads, so you can adjust the size for your own comfort.

Like cute monkeys in sunny yellow?

“Moxie Monkey” ear buds are finished off with two little monkey heads on the earbuds and a full-body monkey, with an enamel finish on the cord.

Like skulls, but still want something girly?

The Skull & Bones ear buds feature little enamel skull and crossbones designs on a bold pink cord.

The “Violet Jewels” headphones have rows of sparkling purple and clear crystals on the ear buds, and crystal slider to finish off the purple cord.

iPopperz – Fun Accessories for your Ears

Chanel has decided to help you out and has created a clear plastic purse with special holders for all your accessories.  The clear plastic purse debuted during their Fall/Winter fashion show during Paris Fashion Week.

Of course, whether or not we actually get to buy the “purse holder” is another thing…

And can it be customized to fit a purse that’s not a quilted Chanel?  As much as I’d love to, I just don’t think my budget will fit buying two Chanel purses!

Chanel Goes High Tech

That’s right – Chanel has branded a Segway.

The Chanel Segway comes complete with a quilted 2.55 handbag on the handlebars, Chanel- branded wheels and even quilted leather mudflaps.

So can we expect Karl Lagerfeld to buzz around fashion week on one of these?  Is Anna Wintour going to tour down the halls of Vogue on her customized Segway?

And when is Galliano going to release one???

But what if you want something a little out of the ordinary… something a little more feminine than the traditional plastic block?

Girly & geeky at the same time!

Why is it so darn cool?

Well first of all, it’s not your dads’ standard pocket knife!  The “Miss A” comes complete with all the standard attachments you’d expect like a little pen knife, bottle opener and tweezers.  It also has a built in LED flashlight, mini perfume flask, sewing kit and even a teensy little mirror.  Add on the pen and nail file and you’re set for anything

It’s even light enough to tuck into all but the smallest of wristlets and go…

I post a while ago about a beach bag with a solar panel on it, not only does Reware make a beach bag with a soft & flexible solar panel, they also make this “ProFolio” bag:

The ProFolio is a padded laptop bag, with file folder pouches and other easy-access pockets for all your tech-y goodies.  Where the bag really shines is it’s flexible solar panel, which sits in a pouch on the outside.  The solar panel provides enough power to run or charge most cellphones, mp3 players or even GPS units in 2 – 4 hours.

Cool, no?

Reware also uses recycled 2 litre bottles to create fabric to create their “Reware” line of totes and bags (made in the USA).  I particularly like this stylish red hobo tote:

See, it’s possible to be eco-friendly and fashionable!
