Where Fashion + Technology Mix

This post is sponsored by the sleek, stylish, lightweight HP Spectre XT Ultrabookâ„¢, inspired by Intel. Vote for your favorite bag design!

Five or ten years ago, technology and fashion didn’t really mix. But now the two influence each other in plenty of ways. Tech now makes live streaming of fashion shows possible, so you don’t have to be sitting in the front row at fashion week to view the latest trends. And technology has been influenced by fashion, moving towards more of a design-forward aesthetic in the last few years as well. That juxtaposition makes me want to do jazz hands, so I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite finds that combine something tech-y with something fashionable and design-oriented…

1. Envelope Tech Case from Poketo

2. Ampersand Laptop Skin from Jude Landry

3. Gold Bar USB Drive from USB Geek

4. Isabel Case from DANNIJO
