Does your mac need a facelift? Some individuality? Maybe some new threads will make it feel more special…

“Each iamhuman cover is tailored to fit your mac’s specific model and size. We craft each piece from quality fabrics and authentic wood veneers. Professional grade 3M adhesive adheres the cover to your laptop and allow you to remove it whenever you are ready to change it up—without leaving a sticky residue.”

It’s not often that a product forays into uncharted territory- yet that’s what this does for the urban setting. Claim that post for your own, I say.

“The aim of the urban cup holder is to encourage people to reinterpret street settings and claim them as their territory, instead of just using them as a means of passage from A to B. The cup holder is easily clamped with one hand to posts in the street, then used as a coat/bag/umbrella hanger and a drink holder. In turn, giving the user a feeling of control and creating a more personal space, a temporary territory.”

Make an anti-watch statement with this very witty bracelet.

“Seifart plays with the trend in which watches are increasingly being used as fashion accessories rather than as a way of telling time. This timeless bracelet is made from stainless steel and has a traditional fold-over clasp.”

Sure, you could use any scrap of paper for a bookmark, but these are much more interesting and humorous. This could also be a thoughtful little gift for a book lover.

“A bookmark and its story, which are reminiscent of foreign picture books of the past-scary and unreal, yet fascinating all at the same time. The action of the bookmark being sandwiched between the pages of a book tells a story in itself. It is a bookmark that is caught between the real world and a fictional world. A lonely mermaid. A silly goose. A word thief.”

The hour hand of this watch is a laser cut opening which reveals a number denoting hour. Debuted at Cïbone Aoyama, Tokyo, on July 7, 2006.

“Don’t play with guns. Don’t do drugs. Instead…Toy Me! Milan designer Georgo Phillip Pecenikov (a.k.a. Gogo) comes from a family of traditional high-end jewelry makers, but he uses his knowledge to create edgy, clean and modern pieces that are a world away from the fru-fru of high fashion. This necklace takes the form of a capsule, cast in silver, plated with rhodium (the most expensive and reflective of the precious metals) and gold, and decorated with a crystal. What makes it extra special is that the capsule can be opened, concealing what? A secret message? A painkiller for emergencies? Whatever “your poison.”

“All watches tell time; the best watches tell a lot about you. The clockmaker designs elegant timepieces that make big, bold statements about the wearer. Driven by the aesthetic principle “when art becomes a timepiece without costing a fortune,” the manufacturer has designed a line of unisex fashion watches that command attention. These designer masterpieces are available to you in a wide assortment of styles and distinctive wrist bands.

The opaque frosted crystal echoes the look and feel of a crisp Nordic winter. Like an elegant skater, the hands carve out time as they sweep across the watch face.

I remember seeing this years ago, before BLTD, but I haven’t posted it yet because it wasn’t in production yet. But now it’s now available, in two versions. One version, direct from the designer has a sharp edge and the other version folds out into a less obtrusive type of brass knuckles.

I haven’t gone berserk over a watch in a long time, but this is so simple and cool that I’m sort of verklempt.
