Running out of ideas this holiday season? Considering that pretty much everyone owns an iPad these days, how about giving them a fancy iPad case for Christmas? This DODOcase iPad case is truly fffabulous; it is handmade in San Francisco using bookbinding technique, and it looks just like a moleskine journal with its black faux leather cover, elastic strap and lightweight bamboo edge. And, you can even pick the interior color. Carrying an iPad around has never looked so fffabulous.

If you are like me, it takes you ages to upload your digital photos online to share with your family and friends. But that may change if you get a magic card, the Eye-Fi wireless card. One of my friends recommended it to me and I was sold right away. What a fffabulous idea! Here is his blurb about it:
"How often do you get prodded by friends and family to send the pictures you took at the holidays or at an event? Often I am sure! Because for most people, even connecting their camera to their computer is a chore that they do relatively infrequently. Now, with the Eye-Fi wireless card, all you have to do is turn your camera on when you get home, and your photos AND videos are 'automagically' uploaded to your favorite photosharing site like Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket, or over 25 sites they support - no computer required. Of course, you can also choose to send the pictures to your computer! Over 60% of the Eye-Fi users now share their pictures within 24 hours of taking the pictures, which is a big change for them from their earlier experiences.
It is now fun again to share your pictures instead of dreading the 'task' of getting the pictures to your computer. For fffabulous' readers (and its author!), it could make sharing your pictures fun again. Get those pictures of those fffabulous fffashion items (and the models) online quickly! Automatic. Wireless. Effortless. Eye-Fi. Learn more about the Eye-Fi card on its website and find the right Eye-Fi card for you!"

Miss Erica is infatuated with her laptop; so much that, in addition to adding a fancy Isis Dei Zebra Skin, which protects her MacBook from scratches while keeping it stylish, she spoiled it with an Isis Dei fancy case:
"I purchased a new Macbook a couple weeks ago, and I've been stoked about it ever since. Not only is the laptop phenomenal in terms of function, it looks sooo sheek and cool—it makes me excited just to look at it! (I know, I'm such a nerd!). Now the last thing I want to worry about is damaging my new toy when I carry it around, so I immediately hopped on the web to find some cool cases for my computer. I came across The Nouveau cover by Isis Dei, and it didn't take me long to click that 'Purchase' button! I love how it is black (so it won't get dirty) but has some cool originality with the cool 'nouveau' pattern. This cover fits my Macbook snugly and has a memory-foam inner protection, yet it isn't bulky. Oh, and I learned that they have a neoprene version of this that is also water-repellent too! I love it!"

Hey guys! No fancy clothes featured today, so you won't have one more reason to spend the big bucks on that insanely expensive pair of jeans I got. Ha!
I nonetheless have some great news to announce. Flock, the social Web browser that helps users connect, discover, and share the best of the Web, released its new Gloss Edition today. And fffabulous.com is one of the 13 default fashion websites (lucky 13!) featured in their Fashion and Beauty Favorites Menu, along with Bellasugar, InStyle, Glam and Fabsugar. Yay!
The Gloss Edition, which will center on fashion, celebrity news and entertainment, is just like any other browser (think Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari) but with a fashion twist to it, as it features media streams for fashion interviews, red carpet events and the latest styles from the industry's top brands. InStyle, Glam.com, ThisNext and Popsugar.com are just a few of the partners that are now one click away for fashionistas, gossip hounds and celeb worshipers to get more of what they love, including profiles of the next best designers, who Angelina is adopting and how to dress for fall. Women in the workplace, at home, in school and around the globe are already visiting these sites daily; now they can access them all in one place at Flock and be the first to know when Matthew McConaughey finally puts his shirt back on, or when George Clooney decides to settle down.
Check out fffabulous.com in Flock Gloss' Fashion and Beauty Favorites Menu and enjoy!!!
Flock Gloss Edition Browser is available as a free software download for Mac, PC and Linux at http://www.flock.com/gloss.

Miss Erica followed my advice and got a MacBook of her own. But I may be the one who follows her advice now that she has taken it a step further by personalizing her brand new Macbook laptop with an animal print skin. I may even get the exact same zebra print skin, since the leopard print skin is nowhere to be found!
"I've recently left behind my old PC for a Macbook, and let me tell you, the transition has been very smooth. My new Macbook is just wonderful to me—it looks good, behaves well, and is 13''. But better yet, I get to style my new baby up! So I bought the Isis Dei Zebra Skin online, which is made out of high quality PET plastic and reversed silk screened for extra protection. It can be applied and removed super smoothly without leaving any sticky residue; so if my computer ever needs a new outfit, I can easily switch it up. Not only is this skin a good way to protect my laptop from scratches, it looks absolutely stunning! The zebra print looks truly amazing; it is stylish and blends perfectly with any Macbook, black or white. I was immediately sold just by looking at pictures of it! Now my Macbook gets to be well-protected and well-dressed! It's great!"

If you live in California, you should already know – and maybe the hard way – that since July 1st, you can't talk on the phone while driving unless you are using a hands-free device. I have never used a headset before, and I was motivated to find a good AND fancy one. I came across Jawbone and fell for their gold 'goldy lips' bluetooth headset. It is absolutely gorgeous, functions very well (just remember to have the Voice Activated Sensor rest on your cheek), and people might mistakenly think it is a Louis Vuitton headset (okay, they know me too well!). Also, the Jawbone bluetooth headset comes with 3 sizes of earbuds and 2 sizes of earloops for you to customize your fit. I love it so much that I don't want to take it off...and I was one of these people who used to say: 'take it off, you all look like robots with this on!'. Ha! The only 'issue' I have is that I need to remember to charge one more device when I get home. And I'm not good at remembering these things. Oh well!
And to add to the perks, you can get $20 off your Jawbone headset if you've already gotten a ticket for talking on the phone while driving – now that's smart marketing right there! To get your discount, go to the hands free ticket processor page, enter your state and ticket number, and click on 'process ticket'. You're in for the discount. Yay!

I broke my iPhone on June 6th after dropping it one too many times, but the fateful timing of it all couldn't have been better since the upcoming release of the iPhone 3G was announced the following Monday. It hasn't been easy switching back to my old phone, and I can't wait to have a new iPhone. Hopefully I'll get one today. Who knows!
I already love this new iPhone for the following reasons: although my late iPhone saved my life on many occasions with its driving directions capability, I am eager to test and take advantage of the GPS feature on the iPhone 3G. And even though it doesn't seem too big of a deal, I *love* the flush earphone jack on the new iPhone. I couldn't listen to the music on my old iPhone in my car because the plug wouldn't fit. Not anymore. Yay! Last but not least, I am ready to finally personalize my iPhone with a super fancy background--the Louis Vuitton background, that is (pictured here). I know I am pushing it, but isn't that what fashionistas do?

Google wow-ed me yet again -- and touched my sweet
fashionista spot -- with the launch of the iGoogle artist themes
a couple of weeks ago. They are so cute!!! Imagine watching the stock market go
up and down (but hopefully more up than down), the temperatures get hotter as
summer arrives, and my inbox get fuller with party invitations, all with the Dolce & Gabbana leopard theme in the background (did I
tell you lately how much I love animal prints?). It reminds me of that
leopard-print carpet that every single celebrity has in their fabulous walk-in closets (gotta love Kimora Lee Simmons' closet), which I shall have one day, too!
What iGoogle artist theme is within YOU?

It took me a while to get the Apple iPhone, but I finally got it and I am in love with it. Getting lost with no driving directions to rely on convinced me to get it sooner than later. Like my sister said: "Yeah, right! What an lame excuse!". Okay, maybe.
I love it that I can now find driving directions to wherever I need to go, whenever I need to. I love it that I can check my emails at any time of the day. I love it that it is so user-friendly that you don't even need to read the manual. And I love it that I can check every day after lunch if I have food stuck in my teeth, just by looking into the tiny apple mirror on the back of the iPhone. How convenient is that? I, however, wish they'd support messenger to "ping" my friends at anytime of the day. I am sure it's coming.
If ever in doubt, don't doubt anymore and get the Apple iPhone (with its matching Louis Vuitton case, of course). It is just perfect!
