Hello! Remember how I rocked a Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 for New York Fashion Week, with the chance for one lucky winner to get the exact same phone? Well, Julie L. of Cleveland, OHIO won! Congrats Julie, and thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway.

I for one, am giving and receiving some tech-related items, so I thought I’d share a round up of some great, fashionable items that you may want to include on your list as well!
MICHAEL Michael Kors Jet Set iPad Case, $129.95 (black patent, natural python, gold pebble, gunmetal) Available at the Apple Store and in select Apple Retail stores, Michael Kors stores and michaelkors.com
MICHAEL Michael Kors Wallet Clutch for all iPhones, $79.95 (black patent, natural python, gold pebble)
Available at the Apple Store and in select Apple Retail stores, Michael Kors stores and michaelkors.com
Available for iPhone or Blackberry, these major city guide apps include international destinations such as Bali, Tokyo, New York, and and can be purchased via the iTunes store for $5.99 each. I tested out the Florence edition, and although I feel like I knew a lot about my favorite Italian city, I learned about new tourist attractions, stores, and restaurants that I’ll have to add to my list the next time I’m there!
Kenneth Cole Digital Watches (prices vary, $125-$178)September 5, 2010
With New York Fashion Week right around the corner, I’ve been busy contemplating ways to simplify the experience and definitely reduce the weight of my massive handbag! Luckily I received a Windows 7 Hot Pink Eee PC™ 1008P designed by Karim Rashid (prolific designer, of pretty much anything and everything imaginable) compliments of Windows 7, and I cannot wait to throw it in my bag! This stylish little guy come in at 2.5 lbs, only 1” thick, has a 10.1” frameless LED backlit display, and up to six hours of battery time – sweet!
Being mainly a Mac person, I was concerned whether I’d be able to adapt to the world of Windows 7 and a PC, but much to my surprise, it’s more ‘Mac’ than I thought! There’s some cool drag and drop features, plus it has Photo Gallery and Movie Marker from Windows Live — a system comparable to Adobe’s Creative Suite — which is super helpful for me when editing FPD videos and photos! So if you’re wondering how I find the time to churn out that New York Fashion Week coverage so quickly, this season it will be all thanks to this hot pink phenom in my mondo, but thankfully lighter, handbag!

Both inside and outside, Windows 7 can be found at the flagship Saks Fifth Avenue this holiday season? What exactly am I talking about? I’ll explain — in several areas throughout the store, including the shoe floor, Windows 7 has created lounges to surf the web and watch TV, as well as send holiday tweets via the Windows 7 operating system that are then displayed in the store windows of Saks! It’s a new concept, and true way to make the windows interactive, as well as inclusive of the customers!
Yuli Ziv of MyItThings and I had the opportunity to preview the lounge and learn more about the new collaboration, as well as get a sneak peak at the windows before they opened to the public! For the unveiling, Broadway singing star Kristin Chenoweth performed, and Steve Sadove, CEO & chairman of Saks, as well as Kathleen Hall, general manager of Windows 7 marketing and Microsoft were on hand for the event. If you’re interest is piqued, you can participate virtually via twitter, by tweeting your holiday wishes via twitter with the hashtag, “#holidaywindows”.
