Designer iCouture...

My iPhone has better outfits then I do. I'm only kidding... a little bit. But really, who gets their iPhone several designer options to choose from? Me. I do. 

I've always been a fan of having some sort of cover or skin on my phones, but two things changed when I got an iPhone:
  1. I fell in love with it more than any other phone I'd experienced
  2. I discovered that fashion designers must feel the same way because there is a slew of amazing high-end designer options available for it
I think the second I got my iPhone (or at least within about 24 hours) I was online looking for the prefect cover to accessorize my phone with. I found it fairly quickly. The deep emerald Marc By Marc Jacobs Metallic Stardust Logo cover. I got my phone last fall and it was perfect. As spring was approaching, I found myself wanting a lighter option. I found the pefect one in my Diane Von Furstenberg New Lips Case. This past summer while shopping in Montreal I stumbled upon my Victoria's Secret Neon Pink Rubber Case. The least expensive of all my cases, it was the one that got the most comments and compliments! Next, this Christmas in my stocking I got a Boo ("The World's Cutest Dog") Case. I am a big fan of Boo and this case is just the cutest case imaginable!

My latest Kate Spade case
Just last week for my birthday, I was lucky enough to get a case I had been coveting for a long while. That cover is by Kate Spade New York cover the Audrey Hepburn eye detail. Not only is this cover perfect for me (white edging to match my phone, pink sides, and HELLO, Audrey!) but it also has a feature none of my other covers has: a flash diffuser. That's right! Basically it helps prevent the flash of your phone from picking up the colour of your case when you take pictures! It can really be a hassle to take the case off every time you want to take a picture, so this case might just be the case for me for the foreseeable future since I love taking iPhone pics! Love love love it! 

So although I have a latest and favourite case for my phone, the fact still stands that I have some awesome iCouture to choose from! What do you do with your phone? One case, a few?

It's a Shoe! It's a Chair! It's a Shoe Chair!

I am not normally one to show off presents that I receive, but this one is WAY TO COOL not to share quite frankly! After Christmas dinner my family all gathers together and the presents get passed out to the appropriate people, then we all open together. Pretty standard stuff. Until this GIANT present lands at my feet - so big in fact, it's wrapped very carefully (and creatively) with a red table cloth! It's from my Gramma. First, it's huge. Second, it's kind of triangular in shape so I don't even bother with guessing!

It's a shoe chair! How cool is this?! Apparently she found it in the summer and immediately thought of me. It's pretty perfect! And it fits in really well with the overall decor I've got going on at my house! (My house is not what's pictured - that's still at my parents.) Shortly after Christmas a few girlfriends and I got together for a snacks and games night, and as a joke and a way to show off my new present, I pulled the shoes chair up to the table while we played. No joke, that thing is incredibly comfortable! I couldn't believe it! Anyway, like I said, I couldn't help but share my latest and greatest addition to my home. 

Thanks to my Gramma, my passion for shoes has now been translated into the most unique and fun piece of furniture ever! :)
