Spending most of my childhood at the cool kids table in the cafeteria and on the jock side of the playground, I remember those kids with pocket protectors and calculators who just didn’t quite fit in. You know the ones who would faint to even talk to the girls and would discuss Dungeons & Dragons at length? Whether you called them geeks, nerds or dorks, we all knew or were these people.
Certainly, times have changed. Who knew geek would turn so chic? It’s hard these days not to find technology as this season’s hottest accessories in fashion throughout the world. Flipping through my recent copy of Vogue, I noticed a great read called “Let’s Get Digital,” which is also getting some good coverage on Geek Sugar.
The article promises to tease readers with not only some of this season’s must-have “tech-cessories,” like the Blackberry Titanium Curve and the Dell XPS One Product (Red), but shows them paired up with some sought-after accessories like the YSL mercury embossed-crocodile shopper bag and Gucci white patent leather shoes. If being a geek means I get to wear these hot accessories to complement my technology, COUNT ME IN.
As for my “Tech-cessory & Accessory” pick of the week:
Dell Inspiron 1420 in Espresso Brown
Gucci Messenger Bag in Beige/Ebony with Brown Leather Trim
Computer Couture Heaven, indeed.
Move over D&D Geeks…the era of the Chic Geek has arrived.

As if the D&D guys haven’t been picked on enough, you drag them through the mud again?

@jervis, LOL. not so much picking on the D&D guys as I am asking for a little giving room to the chic geeks…..we’re coming.

I don`t believe the D&D guys would look as chic as we do when we accessorise. You should see my zebra covered pc tool kit!

@sugarbear, zebra covered pc tool kit? Ohhh la la. How fabulous. Welcome, fellow chic geek.

Hey Natalie,
I just bought the Inspiron 1525 in Expresso Brown… Waaayy Cool
Sorry, but not into the Gucci Messenger Bag… maybe a leather messenger case?

@robert, how do you like the espresso brown Inspiron? It is my favorite Inspiron Color!! Look for some great leather message cases in my upcoming blogs. I’ll find just the right one for you and your snazzy new laptop…
