Technology + Luxury= Fabulous

The Gresso White Diamonds luxury mobile phone is an interesting piece of technology.

While it is hard to see in the picture, each of the keys on the phone dons a diamond rendering the phone somewhere between $14,000 and $52,000! I know I enjoy fabulous things but if I'm getting a diamond encrusted phone I want something that pops a bit more. Maybe it's just another one of those items you have to see in person to really experience...

Ay chiwawa! Shrink Boutique has some other cute items, but these I think I'd have to see with a complete outfit in order to be sold...

Dear Pierre Hardy, I love you!

This is why:
A) It sucks to have a real job and have to pay for your own things

and

B) I will use what little pay check I have to pay for shoes



These shoes are so funky and cute I can totally look past the fact that they aren't my normal 4 inch heel and buy these.

The only dilemma: Do I have enough money? I seem to think I do, and I guess that's all that really matters. You can't stand between a girl and a hot pair of shoes... it's just a universal constant we all need to accept.

Flippin' A!

I love the idea of a video recorder that is small and plugs right into my laptop via USB: Enter Flip Video. It's a small video recording device that caught my eye with a cute tag line "What will you see today?" While I do not see that much action in and around my neck of the woods, I am still considering this item for vacationing and capturing general summertime debauchery.

It runs on AA batteries (Up to 6.5 hours with "2 x AA Energizer® e2® batteries"), takes up to 60min of footage (assuming you purchase the 2G one), and can come in a darling white and bright pink combo... although black might be more tasteful... I'm not 12 anymore.

LifeStraw

For those that do not know, I am 1/4 Congolese (you probably first learned about the country in grammar school with its previous name 'Zaire') and I am always interested in ways to help developing nations. My sister came across this device and I had to share.

Aside from its ability to provide water for a family for up to 2 years (based on 20L of water consumption a day) the LifeStraw claims to remove 99.99% of waterborne bacteria, viruses, and parasites. If this actually works, I am a huge fan. If it doesn't, I am a fan of the intent and I hope they can perfect it soon.

Was anyone aware of sober day?

So according to FishbowlLA Sober Day was this past Saturday... Was anyone aware of this because I was not just so happened to celebrate accordingly (for the most part...) one G & T and one Grey Goose Cranberry doesn't really count.


At least I wasn't just drinking for the sake of drinking (i.e. something haneous like Nati Lite)

But will it work for nutella?

There's this jar friendly spoon I found online thanks to gizmag.


Do we think it will work for jars of nutella???

Delayed...

Sorry about the lack of posts. I graduated college, went to North Carolina, and started my new job as an Associate Producer on a video game all in the past few days so once my life has calmed a bit I'll be back.

On an unrelated note- I'm going to the Chicago Fire game this Saturday so hopefully I'll get some good pictures there to post!

I've got to find a reason..

...to get this set

Alessi - OrienTales lily pond collection by stefano giovannoni for alessi

I think it is so fun and unique. Imagine coming over to my house for a little dinner party, I make something fabulous that involves needing soy sauce dishes and chopsticks, and that is the set that is in front of you.

SO FUN- Love it!

I am waaaay too excited for this!

I can't wait for The Dark Knight to come out. The trailer is sick! Batman really is an awesome superhero. No super powers, just filthy rich and intelligent...

Digitalism

Last night I was introduced to Digitalism, a German duo with a sound that can be described as Electronica/Indie. Their latest release "Idealism" (released in May of 2007) has just made its way into my sound library, and just in time for the summer. I will definitely be jamming out to this album to get hyped up and to just enjoy a generally good mood- check it out!

You can check out more about Digitalism here.
