Blogger Project: Incipio

incipio

When it comes to mobile accessories, the ususal suspects of brands come to mind. When I was at Project, I was happy to discover a not-so-new brand that was new to me. Launched thirteen years ago in OC, Incipio started way back when Palms were popular - I know, blast from the past, huh?

Incipio makes anything to go with mobile products and sees their products as an extension of style and a means for people to express themselves. One of my favorite products that I saw at the booth was the origami iPad case - an iPad cover that you can fold different ways to prop up your iPad.

I also really loved the selvedge denim laptop cases.

My favorite by far was the Off the Grid back-up battery and case for the iPhone. Incipio was gracious enough to give me one to try out and I love it! It saved my life (and my phone’s battery life) on many occasions in NY during Fashion Week.

One of the fun project Incipio worked on is a collaboration with professional skateboarder Greg Lutzka. Greg went with a throwback feel for the series of iPhone covers he helped design. The clever part about the project is that each case comes packaged in a brown paper bag - the way we used to take our lunch to school back in the day - and also includes a napkin and plastic fork and knife.

You can purchase Incipio products on the Incipio online store.

Pool SS13: Rojas

rojas keep the change shorts money collection

Rojas always has the cutest collections and I always find myself wondering why this line isn’t HUGE.  For Holiday, Freddie Rojas has come up with one of the most unique collections to date that he had to literally break his piggy bank to make.

Dubbed the money collection, each of the pieces have real coins affixed to them.  With names like the Dimepiece hat and the Keep the Change shorts, these pieces will all be conversation starters.

For Spring 2013, Freddie went with a pastel, hippy, socal feel using vintage Levi’s 501s and indigenous fabrics, as well as vintage rock tees.   The collection is full of color and fun and perfect for music festival hopping.

Ask MISSter Simms - My Husband Stinks

my husband won't shower

Rub a dub dub get your husband in the tub

Dear MISSter Simms,

Ok, so I’ve been married to my husband for like 2 years now.  He’s my best friend, and I love him dearly, but he absolutely refuses to shower on what I’d call a regular basis (or even a semi-regular one).  Granted, I knew he had some strange habits before I married him, but you never really know what bothers you until you have to deal with it every day, right?  Because of his habits he stinks almost all the time and we rarely have sex.  Like I said, I love him.  But it’s hard to get intimate in that kind of situation.  I just want to jump him and scrub him down with a soapy sponge.  I’ve brought up the issue quite often, but he always manages to deflect things.  What can I do?

Clean Hubby Craver

Dear CHC,

While I would normally recommend that you get butt naked, tie your husband down, and bath him yourself (which would then lead him to associate bathing with pleasurable shaboinking), I don’t think it would work in this particular situation.  Why?  Because any guy who can forgo both bathing and sex with his wife for extremely long periods of time must have some serious issues.  Maybe he was in jail at some point in time and dropped the soap in the shower stall.  Maybe he watched Nightmare on Elm Street as a child and thinks that Freddy Krueger’s hand is gonna come after him while he’s chilling in the bathtub.  Either way, what you need to do is get him to see a psychologist/therapist ASAP to identify what the underlying problem is.  Keep in mind that changing him won’t happen over night, but with the help of  professional he’ll hopefully be bathing like he should and giving you the sweet lovin’ you deserve.

She’s Got Sole: Chanel Camellia Sneakers

chanel camellia sneaker

I came across these sneakers today online yesterday and they took my breadth away. I used to collect sneakers but I never have gone the route of high-end sneakers because I’ve never seen a pair that I just had to have. But these! I need these Chanel camellia sneakers from the pre-spring 2013 collection. I better start saving my pretty pennies now!
