Technology and art, the two may seem like opposite ends of the creative spectrum, but they really aren’t so far apart form each other, especially where Andy Warhol is concerned! The giant of 20th-century art was actually a gadget fiend, and consistently championed the involvement of technology in the art world.
So it makes total sense that Incase would put some of his most iconic artwork on their innovative designs. Choose from several case and sleeve designs for your iPad, iPhone, and laptop for the ultimate merger of modernity. The hard part will be choosing a print; the Velvet Underground and Nico album cover, the anti-camouflage Camouflage, the timeless Dollar Signs…which one(s)? Take a page out of Warhol’s book — “We live in a world where we do not notice change; therefore what does change only enhances itself a little more each day.” It’s the perfect argument to get them all!

Every girl needs a good purse (or 12). Whether you’re going for groceries or running from class to class, they are simply essential for holding all your, uh, essentials. Each week, I’m going to show you a fashionable, yet functional purse for the college crowd and let you know why you absolutely need it! I apologize ahead of time to your bank account.
I just finished my exams on Tuesday (hooray for me!) and have quickly shifted my focus to planning my summer. I want to take several roadtrips, spend weekends at my camp (or cottage, whichever you prefer), work hard at my new job and look stylish while doing it all! I also can’t wait to spring clean the crap my wardrobe. I started this ritual a few years back and now thrive on tossing the old and bringing in the new!

A total surprise, right? Definitely in a good way! I’m LOVING cotton slub chambray lately, and the Columbia High Tail Honey II Dress, $65, just does it so well. Available in three colors, this dress looks techy but feels downright comfortable, encouraging you to slip on a comfy pair of shoes and explore a neighborhood, or chic it up with some chunky jewelry and wear to work or fun outdoors event. It definitely possesses the right amount of tailoring and ease, with drawstring flexibility at the neck and waist, along with roll-tab sleeves perfect for weather changes.
*As a side note, I was at Construction Junction, a gem of a commercial and residential salvage warehouse over the weekend in Pittsburgh, and found this massive image of Japan; I just thought the colors and composition was beautiful, if not a bit solemn. Full Disclosure: this dress was a gift of Columbia Sportswear.

Out of Sephora’s top sellers/more popular choices of mascaras, the best and least expensive find, we’ve discovered is Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash Mascara, available in “Blackest Black” and “Blue Noir.” Both colors are exclusively available for $18 and can be purchased via any Sephora Store location at the Top Mascaras’ Podium, or online at Sephora.com. We like the Buxom Lash Mascara because it features a round, plastic tooth-comb wand, allowing the volumizing & thickening properties of the mascara to smoothly and evenly distribute the black (or blue) pigments to the eyelashes without clumps or mess. Looks result in a glamorous, full-lash finish in a flash! Apart from Bare Escentuals’ award-winning bareMinerals face powder, we also recommend you try the Bare Escentuals bareMinerals SPF 15 Matte Foundation, which is shine and oil-free.
