Chic Picks: Boutique 9 Sandals

Oh, yes. Geeky dweebs like me like dressing up too. And who says you can’t be geeky and fashionable at the same time? I hate busting myths but I guess I’m not your stereotypical geeky chick. I love shoes that sometimes its scary. Scary for the wallet that is.

I do like watching fashion in equal amounts to checking out technology and gadgetry. So I’m taking  a bit of break from blabbing about techie stuff and browsed about online fashion shops for some pretty heels.

Here’s my pick! I love it. Dainty, pretty Boutique 8 Too Pretty Kitten Heel Sandals.

Chrome Extensions: Shareaholic

One of my favorite browser is Google Chrome. Its fast, lightweight and has a lot of useful extensions. Among these extensions, one of my most used is the Shareoholic.

It makes sharing of links, websites a whole lot easier. Share your web finds across different social networking sites, bookmarking sites, email services etc. And it helps keep me organized. Bookmarks could really clutter as they become accumulated and keeping them on shareoholic makes them easier to access and organize.

Want This: Coffee Fund Money Box

Definitely looks better than the little piggy bank! I’m caffeine addicted and always frequent coffee shops around town. But one thing a latte on a daily basis can be quite costly.

Chic Picks: Lovely Balenciaga Laptop Case

I have a thing for designer bags. I may not be able to afford it {yet..hahaha!} but I can certainly appreciate their appeal and I do believe they are worth the investment. Anyway, here’s one I would dearly love to have.

Balenciaga Laptop Case made of calfskin leather. Available in Ardoise and Black for $675. Sleek, understated, elegant. My kind of laptop case!!! Check it out at Balenciaga.

But wait, I think I should buy myself a new laptop first. I think my ‘Jurassic Period’ lappie wouldn’t really go well with that.

Little Black Book for iPhone

There something so old fashioned yet so stylish about these leather cases for iPhone. I know its really appealing to the geeky spirit in me. If I have an iPhone this would definitely be my case of choice.

Beautifully crafted Italian leather and at a very affordable price @ $39.99. Another advantage I see in this is that, it won’t be obvious that you’re carrying an iPhone so I think its one way to ward off would be iPhone thieves ;)

Tricky Tiny Laptop

For some reason I’m having a hard time adjusting to these teeny weeny laptops. About six months ago I bought myself a blogging lappie/netbook. While I had so much fun watching movies, playing music, games on it for quite a long time coz of the superb battery life, I was also piqued that the keyboard was small that made typing my blog posts extra hard.

Little ASUS Netbook

I know its a netbook so the keyboard is compressed and small, and yeah I think my fingers are just humongous so I still tried anyway. I even bought myself a small mouse to make navigating it easier. But in all seriousness I can’t get used to it. Hahaha!

So after our short vacation {where I was lugging the netbook around}, I made hubby try it out. And lol! they were like a match made in heaven. He loved it and told me he’ll be bringing my netbook with him when he travels. I don’t mind really. But that confined me to blogging with my desktop. He did tell me I could have his Acer laptop. So I said goodbye to my little netbook.

I could still borrow it from time to time but only for casual browsing and never for some serious typing. I’m planning now to buy myself a blogging laptop, preferably something big enough 15-17″ and with lots of hard disk space and fast RAM. That would be my gadget for blogging.

I’m also thinking of buying a tablet. An Android tablet and I’m looking around for some affordable ones. This will be mainly for my browsing and ebook reading. Also when I travel, I don’t want to bring around a laptop so a tablet would do.
