So following up on the post about the Incase Convertible Book Jacket, I’m here to introduce you to a series of designer iPad (and in one instance, Kindle) cases. Louis Vuitton was the first to jump onto the bandwagon by announcing their design (which consists of stamping the ubiquitous LV logo all over a case) and then teasing us by saying it won’t be released for some time. Then Gucci leapt on board by giving us the finished product in a rather similar design. During the 2011 Resort presentation, one of the models in the Oscar de la Renta show whipped out her iPad, also encased. And Diane von Furstenberg is obviously more of a book geek as she just released a Kindle case. Who else would we like to see show their techy side? Vivienne Tam would be an obvious choice but given her affiliation with HP, I’m not sure how feasible that would be. And is it worrisome that I am pondering over which case I should invest in considering I’ve yet to buy the iPad?

I absolutely love big chunky statement jewellery and I do mean big, hey look at me kind of jewellery. Although I am over the term ‘statement’ piece. Everything from a two strand pewter chain to really over the top pieces are now labelled as statement and we really need to come up with another term for it. Anyway, I digress. It is with a great squeal of glee that I check out the Spring/Summer collections and find some pieces that I absolutely adore. Here are some that made it on FashionGeek’s wish list (with more to come I’m sure)
Let's start with the above necklace from 3.1 Phillip Lim. Is it a collar? Is it made out of origami? Who cares. I want.

Check out the giant beads from Michael Kors. I do hope they are resin and not glass. It must be heavy yet I will risk neck pains for that piece.

Necklaces down to the waist are always so hot. You can always double strand it, or multi-strand it as a bracelet but Oscar de la Renta keeps it simple here.

Vera Wang takes the term bib necklace to a whole other level.

I'm of the camp that pearls need not be for old ladies and Reem Acra obviously agrees

Chains, thick, thin, and in between are so sexy and this Helmut Lang chunky chain necklace is hot hot hot.
