Ladies, you best listen up, now! Croc leather is absolutely luxurious and few designers in the world can work with it better than Nancy Gonzalez, which is why her Soft Croc Quilted Satchel is already a super hot seller.

There are five very even and wonderfully tastefully pleated panels, each one featuring alternating patterns of sumptuous croc leather. Both the back and the front are marvelously smooth and the silhouette of the bag is flawless.

Frames are going to be huge this coming season, and the Croc Satchel has them as well. It has long double straps for easy carrying as well, not to mention metal feet so the leather will not get scuffed or damaged even when you have to sit the bag down.

It is available in shades of black and purple — but through Neiman Marcus, it costs about $2,750.

So … this is the Soy Bed. Please take a moment and absorb that. The Soy Bed.

There are lots of beds out there. Many of them are very special, they promise to do many things. And then there’s the Spaldin Soy Bed. Spaldin is a Spanish company which is now tackling the fine art of soy mattresses.

They are made out of biodegradable materials which have been cultivated and processed without harmful chemicals.

There are four different types of Soy Beds: the Aircell Soy, the Biocell Soy, the Sensitex Soy (which sounds a little R rated), and the Memory Soy.

In the spirit of going green, you can assure yourself green dreams too — for one thousand to fifteen hundred dollars. Ehhh…

One thing that I have noticed this season is that the lingerie being worn as outerwear trend has exploded.  While I would never personally wear my bra or panties out anywhere, I think that just a hint of lingerie is a great way to keep with the times, but still keep your self respect a little bit.  Take this beautiful little piece – this is actually taking the lingerie as outerwear trend to the next level.

Just a little hint of lingerie underneath some clothing is just as effective as truly going all out in the lingerie trend.  This low-cut singlet is actually a relaxed summer look that really does play up the lingerie trend for all it is worth … and it looks hot!

So if you are looking for a way to be fashionable, this is the way to do it without fully taking the trend to the extreme!

When you really think about it, spring 2010 is right around the corner – honestly, it is right there and it is going to come up really, really quickly.  To me, that is absolutely mind-blowing because it seems that spring 2009 was just here.  Fall is here now though and soon enough, winter.  However, let’s focus our attention on Spring next year though.  It is going to be hot and the color scheme is something that is certainly worth looking into.

This is the color palette for next spring and I have to say that while bright – they are not extremely and overly bright.  To me, that is something that I love.  I am not all for the in-your-face colors and I think that these are actually really cool.

If you want brash colors, you won’t find them in the spring color palette and I love that!

New laptops are a dime a dozen these days, aren’t they? You know as soon as a new one comes out, it will be pretty much obsolete in six months.

However, if you ask me, the Gorocool, a Laptop Desk by Thanko will breathe new life into any laptop — and it will make every laptop out there easier and much more comfortable to use.

It is really about time someone came up with a product like this. After all, laptops are quickly replacing desktops. More and more people prefer having a lightweight, easy to transport laptop.

They do have a disadvantage, though: you typically have no support, unless you actually have your laptop set up at a desk.

Well, the Gorocool Laptop Desk makes that entirely unnecessary. In bed, on the couch, even in a lounge or waiting room, you will be able to use your laptop comfortably. The desk even has a built it fan to keep your laptop cool.

It has likely happened to all of us. You spill a drink on the remote control. Maybe it is tangled up in the bed clothes, and when you fling off the blanket, the remote goes flying into a glass of water, maybe even the dog dish. The scenarios are endless, but the results are the same: either you have to spend goodness knows how much time waiting for the remote to dry out, you go through every harebrained, potentially ruinous scheme you can think of to speed up the process, or the remote just fizzles out and does not work any longer.

Well, the new Waterproof TV Remote Control by Sony Japan may well be the answer to your prayers. At present, they will be available only in Japan on September 10, but we can keep our fingers crossed that soon, the colorful remotes will be available worldwide.
