Pimp your laptop!

I have recently "pimped" my laptop with a sticker I made myself and it looks alright, but I wish I had found this website first: aspoke.com has very cool laptop stickers (or skins) at a pretty reasonable price. That is if you think 20 euros is reasonable.
Here are some of my favorite designs (I'm sure if you look, you'll find one you like and you'll thank me later):

Handmade designer jewelry

Designer jewelry - because Irina Blok is a designer :)
I found some interesting necklaces and bracelets, and what's really cool about them is that they are all handmade. Here are my personal favorites:


Funky chairs to brighten your day

Bubble Chair, from Aarnio Eero. Simple design, great looks. It hangs from the ceiling and is made of transparent acrylic, which is heated and blown into shape like a soap bubble. You gotta love it!




IKEA has these cute Urban Chairs that come in green, red and white. They are stackable so you can save space when not using them and the hole in the seat drains water off. An Urban Chair is 81 cm tall and retails for $39,99 in the US. Well, there's really nothing too special about this chair, but it's green, and it's from IKEA so you gotta love it! I know I do.




If you like what you see, first of all, you should know that its price is $1,250. If that didn't scare you off, continue reading. The name is Hoffman Kubus, and it's covered in "the finest Italian leather". Comes in black and white and it's already made me wanna rest for a couple of hours. Would look good in a fancy club, as well as in my living room. But at that price, I'll pass.



Another good looking piece is Suma Chair, which comes in a set of 2 for $239. Supposedly ideal for those who are looking to combine style and substance. I'd buy it just for the color (comes in orange and black, by the way) although I'm not too sure it's that comfortable. I like to rest my hands on something other than a steel bar.





Oh, joy! iJoy is the name of this massage chair which could be yours for £599. Yup, I know it's pretty expensive, but wouldn't you want to have your own personal massager, without having to ask your "significant other" to massage your back? I know I would! It comes in camel and red and is made of faux suede.




That's it for now, I already feel dissatisfied with my chairs. All of my chairs. :D
