A Macbook Fashion Statement

Every so often I change the subject over to a technology which has become fashionable..

Such as the Blackberry..

But as I sit in class I cant help but think about the fact that Apple Macbook computers have truly become a fashion statement all over campus.

http://www.apple.com/

I personally don't have a Mac computer... but I am not going to pretend like I don't want one.

I mean they are very good computers so people do buy them because of their functionality, but sometimes I think that people really choose them for the look.

If you look at someone with a Macbook and someone else with a Toshiba computer... do you judge them? You probably say no out loud but don't pretend like you don't!

Macbooks are like a fashion statement.. each model goes out of style and then everyone wants the new model because its the coolest one.

If you are living in a bubble and haven't heard of the newest Macbook.. check it out here!!

Its beautiful.. and environmentally friendly which is always a plus!

Are you one of the Macbook followers or are you completely against this widespread fashion trend all over campus?

Celebrities LOVE to design!

All you ever hear now is that a new star has created a new line of something, and its going to be big.. but does it ever really get sooo big?

Not really.

Although... there is a website dedicated to it! Check out this website Celebrity Clothing Line which updates you on all of the new products that celebs are endorsing or designing themselves!


http://www.celebrityclothingline.com/


This is a great site to find out all the celeb gossip regarding products!


For instance... Kanye West has been seen wearing lots of jean jackets... and the reason is because he is planning to design his own.. interesting?

As well.. there is a whole story on the endorsements that Chris Brown got let go of due to his fight with Rihanna..

An new&upcoming designer!

This past Friday was the OHM Fashion Show which was run to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society..(as I previously posted)

In order to raise as much money as possible there was a silent auction for things generously donated to the show.

A new designer named Erin Kleinberg donated a piece from her beautiful line of clothes and I could not take my eyes off of it! Erin is a young designer from Toronto who has recently become popular in the celebrity world.

You must check out her website to see her stunning new line!

http://www.erinkleinberg.com/

Her pieces are so practical and but have that extra accent on them to make them different!

You can find her line in Holt Renfrew and TNT Blu!

Boating shoes are in!!

With this beautiful weather upon us, its time to whip out our flats, moccasins and... our Sperrys!

For those of you who have yet to hear about Sperry's, they are really a boating shoe made for sailor's and stuff, but it seems that our generation has revamped them into a must-have item for the summer!

Formally called Sperry Topsiders, http://www.sperrytopsider.com/my favourite new shoes come in tons of different styles..I have seen them in patent, leather and canvas and in tons of colours like plaid, bright yellow and standard chocolate brown.

My personal favourites are the standard chocolate brown leather ones!! So classic.

You can wear them with basically anything... shorts, leggings, jeans

The only problem I have with them is that I am having the hardest time getting my hands on a pair!! I guess because I am a size 7 shoe which apparently is the most popular size..

I went to Capezio Shoes http://capezioshoes.ca/ in Yorkdale and they didn't have them and Get Outside http://www.getoutsideshoes.com/didn't have them either..

I think Ill have to order them online from Get Outside...

Has anyone spotted them anywhere else??

Give me your thoughts on this great new trend!!

My dream handbag is someone's book bag...

You would think Marc Jacobs wouldn't seem to be a name that's thrown around in a student's vocabulary...but you would be surprised...

as I look around each day.. I am blown away by the types of bags people choose as their school bags... such as my rant about Longchamp Bags earlier on..

But this is ridiculous.. I would die to have one of these bags on my arms even for a day, and I keep seeing students using them as their book bags!!!

I don't get it.

Anyways.. I was browsing my favourite online shopping site http://www.shopbop.com/ and quickly clicked to the Marc Jacobs handbag section..

So I though I would share my favourite styles... which are the cheapest.. but not cheap at all..

This 'Pretty Nylon Stitched Tate Tote' is $188 and could MAYBE be used as a book bag.. but still.. I would use it as an every day bag because its amazing.

This 'Classic Q Hillier Hobo' is $398 which is sadly the cheapest one out of their leather collection.. and its beautiful..

you cant tell I am a huge fan.. and have yet to have a bag from this beautiful designer..:(

What are your thoughts on these being used for book bags? Also, do you have one? share with us your thoughts and pictures, I always like to drool over something I cant have!!
