Vivienne Tam & HP digital clutch fashion laptop

       

 HP and Asian fashion designer Vivienne Tam have teamed up to make this gleaming red, peony covered HP mini note. Stylish and super portable it was debuted on the runways of New York Fashion Week at Bryan Park.

The “digital clutch” has a 10″ inch screen which is pretty impressive and features an extra special enter key that bears the Chineses symbol for double happiness – aarrr. It also comes with an embroidered storage sleeve which protects it when being carried.

This is the first time a high end designer and technology company have joined forces to produce a laptop like this. It does seem to be a good bit of fashion and technology fusion and in line with Tam’s personal mantra “Live well and be beautiful”.

Ahead of the curve – the new iPod Nano

 All these yummy colours and sexy curved shape aren’t the only rockalicious things about the new iPod Nano. It has a feature called Genius which finds the songs in your library that go well together and creates a Genius Playlis for you. Genius! You can also turn or tilt the new nano on it’s side and the image goes with you.

The bessssstest new feature has to be the the shake one so if you fancy a different track you ‘shake your nano groove thing’ and it shuffles to a different song.

It also features a high resolution 2inch wide screen display so great for watching movies and videos as well as having games made especially for the Nano and the accelerometer. Available in 8GB  for £109 and 16GB for £149, overall pretty cool.

First Wives World social network for divorced women

As we all know social networks are taking over the world. Well, here is the first one aimed at divorced women and sets out to make the whole business, which let’s face it is never gonna be nice, just a little bit more bearable.

It provides useful information such as financial tips, how to cope with the kids, dating and interviews with recently divorced celebs (not sure how celebs would help tho?!…)

I think the one good thing about this is it puts you in touch with other women who are in the same boat as you which may give you the boost you need when you think you have nowhere else to turn. Seems like a good idea. OMG do i sound like a counsellor?

Swarovski ‘Moon’ USB necklace

Dont get me wrong, I luv diamonds, come on… i’m a girl… but would you really wear this round your neck? What’s all that about or am i being too harsh?!  Probably quite a fun pressie though and it is a bit different.

It’s 2GB worth so not a bad amount of storage and is made by Swarovski Crystal so a bit of affordable bling if it takes your fancy, they also make two other designs along with this “moon” necklace,  one of the others is called ”naughty raymond” ?!

It retails at around £125 which is a lot for a memory stick blingey combo, just not sure this is my idea of geekchic.
