HP Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition

(Click on images for larger view)

It's here! It's here! You can now reserve your own the new HP Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition (retail $599) otherwise known as the most coveted "digital clutch" that will keep you fashionably tech for spring. Weighing 2.6 pounds and less than 1-inch thin, you can carry it around in your latest "it" bag instead of having to carry an extra laptop bag. Finally!

I loved being at the Vivienne Tam Spring 2010 Runway Show last fall during NY Fashion Week and seeing this beautiful digital clutch come down the runway. The digital clutch design is integrated into Tam's spring 2010 collection which centered around the theme of butterflies, based on the classic Chinese love story, "Butterfly Lovers." The digital clutch also comes with a butterfly lovers desktop theme which includes an animated butterfly start menu, custom Vivienne Tam icons and three wallpapers to coordinate with the design. Coordinated accessories further complement the Vivienne Tam Mini, including a matching micro-fiber suede sleeve and optional butterfly-lovers wireless mouse or Monster-branded in-ear headphones.

Starting today in the U.S., customers can reserve the HP Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition by calling +1-800-230-5752 or by visiting www.hp.com/viviennetam. You will also be able to purchase the HP Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition at Neiman Marcus, Amazon.com, Best Buy and J&R Electronics.

The matching wireless mouse - so pretty! (retail $39.99)

Stylish Gadgets for Valentine's Day

Let's face it. Chocolates are great but who needs the extra calories? For Valentine's Day, I'm all about the techy gadgets and let's be honest, you can only have so many iPods, right? This year, at the top of my list is this HP Mini 210 in red. Starting at just $279.99 this little net book gem will fit in your handbag and keeps you connected when you are on the go!

Here are more picks for stylish gadgets for Valentine's Day:

Project Runway Season 7 & HP TouchSmart PCs

A new season of Project Runway starts Thursday, January 14th at 10pm ET/PT on Lifetime! This time the fashion designers will have the opportunity to unleash their creativity using HP TouchSmart PCs and HP TouchSmart tm2 notebooks, both powered with Intel processors. The screen of the tm2 can be rotated around and converted to slate mode, morphing it into a sketchpad with digital pen. This allows the designers to draw, sketch and take notes with lots of options for colors, brushes and effects. Personally, I've drawn before using a wacom tablet and my computer but never directly on the screen. This will be pretty cool to watch! I totally want to try one out.

You'll also have the chance to get involved and win by entering the Judge Your Way to a New Notebook contest which goes live on January 14th. Just enter and predict your choices for the final top three designers that will show their collections at New York’s Fashion Week. If you guess correctly, you will be entered to win a premium HP Envy 15 notebook PC powered by the latest Intel processor.

Forget those standard rubber iPhone cases, I love the textured look of these Chilewich iPhone cases (via Oh Joy!). Chilewich worked with Griffin to create a robust case that also allows for quick docking and the signature basketweave vinyl textile looks like nothing else. Me likey!

Rebecca Minkoff Virginia Laptop Sleeve
