Because We Have One In Every Friend And/Or Family: Sleek and Stylish Tech Accessories



As the headliner reads, we all know someone in our inner-circle who must always carry the latest trend in technology with them. On a personal level, I find it hard just to keep my phone in my possession, let alone would I be able to keep in tact a pretty chic accessory without misplacing it. But alas, for all you fancy tech freaks(i mean that nicely) the gods have delievered.



If you have an iPad, well, its that time of season for "those who appreciate great form in their high-function gadgets will get what they’ve wished for."



I get it, iPads allow a perfectly color high-definition screen for your viewing pleasure. It has multiple apps, and now because of that many collections that appeared on the runway were inspired by clean and bold lines. Graphic colors were popping which go nicely with the iPad's accessories. You can dress it up with the help of Stella McCartney, Dooney & Bourke, L.V, Chanel and Oscar de la Renta. Many other designers offer covers that intertwine with their current thread collections.



Above is Stella's design which is simple black faux-leather cover with metal edging. And of course not all fashion related technology is connected to the iPad. From the likes of photographer Nick Knihgt to the late-great Alexander McQueen, lets all give a rousing applause to our personal computers which we all have. And if we didn't have this connection, than we wouldn't have each other kiddas.

The t-shirts include a superhero tee for boys and an Intarsia leopard shirt for girls.

Nordstrom's Fall Fashion Preview 2008

Chicago style scions had a night of fall fashion tonight with a sneak peek of the hottest new looks from Nordstrom. Over 400 guests joined fashionable co-chair and president of Lannon Communications and filled the Chicago History Museum for a sold-out night of crisp autumn collections including Burberry Prorsum, Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs, Marni, Missoni and Oscar de la Renta. The evening started out with a champagne-filled shopping session in Nordstrom's pop-up boutique created inside the venue where shoppers could skim the racks for warm weather confections of tweed dresses, wool/cashmere coats, mohair jackets and layered sweaters before heading to the tent for the fashion show. A 56-foot runway, enhanced with video and theatrical lighting set the stage for models decked out in Factio favorites - Andrew Gn's black/white tweed coat had a French and girly feel, Nina Ricci's chocolate leather bomber jacket had us channeling James Dean and Oscar de la Renta - oh Oscar, you never disappoint. We loved his grey cashmere knit beaded cardigan, paired with a satin bubble-hem skirt, among many others. "There were so many gorgeous fashions in the Nordstrom Designer Preview, it is hard to pick favorites. Some of the fashions from the show that I am eyeing for myself this fall include a quilted, metallic copper trench from Burberry, a simple black and white tweed dress from Oscar de le Renta with metallic detail and any item from the Peter Som collection - simply fabulous looks that can transition from business meeting to cocktail party, which I always need," said Carrie Lannon.

The event raised $70,000 for the Chicago Historical Society's Costume Council. Nordstrom is located at 55 East Grand Avenue in Chicago, shop online at NORDSTROM.com.

Guests took home a fashionable serving plate specially designed by artist R. Toledo (which we look forward to adding to our collection of cups, plates and teapots from previous years).

Co-Chair Carrie Lannon was a scene stealer in Donna Karan

"
I’m in love with Donna Karan this season. The over-size collared coats are really amazing and the chiffon dresses (the ones that plunged dangerously low!) were absolutely stunning. It was the perfect mix of high and low and the jewel toned color palette is so sophisticated and easy on the eyes," said D. Graham Kostic, Fashion Associate of Modern Luxury Magazines and Host of Glossed and Found.


Designer Maria Pinto always looks stunning

We love Kimberly Burt's See by Chloe dress just bursting with color, and her classic beige Kate Spade pumps, accented with a hot pink YSL clutch

"The show was fantastic! I really loved the collection Missoni showed, in particular the black reversible "Norma" coat and the charcaol knit "Beatrys" cardigan. I also loved Marc Jacobs' taupe off-should coat. And I just adored the Oscar de la Renta black silk faille gown with the gold leaf embroidery - spectacular!

Liv Tyler in Stella for "The Hulk" Premiere

Liv Tyler wore a short, blue Stella McCartney dress to last night's "The Hulk" premiere, only the dress didn't start out as a hot, short little number. She asked the design team to personally shorten the dress for the big night. We found a similar dress at Intermix, and on sale from $895 to $539!
