Urbanebloc: An iPod Accessory to End All iPod Accessories

I’m in love with this inanimate object – the iHome iP4 is a boombox, iPod / iPhone dock that has all of the right fixings. While it’s a manic beast on the batteries (6 ‘D’ batteries that are not included…say what?), it’s a soft finish, colourful portable boombox, perfect for the beach (allegedly Jay-Z can attest to this), on the go, and for boasting some major cool factor with your friends. read more…

URBANEBLOC: The Sweetest of iPhone Candy

I’ve had a healthy dose of teasing when it comes to how often I swap my phone cases – it’s true, I treat my iPhone like a loveable pet. Wardrobe changes and vinyl changes are the norm, and my wandering eye is always looking for the next decal, silicone wrap, and hardcase to deck out my beloved device. Here are a few that I’ve fawned over as of late: read more…

URBANEBLOC: Watch This.

Arm candy, wrist party, teller of time…whatever you want to spin it as, a watch is a staple in your wardrobe.

URBANEBLOC: The Lomography Lust

Rather than a review, this go at fashion x technology is to give kudos to the ever so lovely LOMOGRAPHY store. Not too long ago I had a personal walkabout through the boutique on in Toronto, and soaked in every “oooo” and “ahhh” moment. read more…

URBANEBLOC: Get Your Snap On

Over the holidays and into the new year I’ve found myself surrounded by gadgets – more specifically, the kind that have you fiddling with lights, features, and a plethora of subjects to snap. Don’t listen to what anyone says – cameras are a girl’s best friend. Here’s a walk through of three of my favourites that embody style and substance. read more…

URBANEBLOC: Pick of the iPad Cases

 

I like to think of myself as a fashionable dweeb – the girl that’s technology obsessed and surrounded, but always looking for a little flare when it comes to stylish specs. Earlier in the year I decided to splurge wholeheartedly in an iPad that I refused to open for two weeks.
