fashion & technology merge to bring the runway to the 'real'way! (sponsored post)!

These days fashion no longer lives on the pages of glossy editorials... thanks to technology, being in the front row at Fashion Week is accessible to all of us - if only on our laptops!  From checking out the latest street style to checking in with models backstage to watching the most coveted goods worn down the runway, we can see it all from the comfort of our own homes, thanks to technology.

I know I personally love combing the runways to be inspired for the 'real'way of life!  My lifestyle doesn't always cater to runway looks... but I love being inspired by the colors and textures that walk the runway.

And not only does technology bring us closer to fashion... these days, fashion is bringing us closer to technology as well.  We love our techy devices and we want them to look just as fashionable as we are...

Right now HP is running an amazing designer contest where they asked the public to design a stylish and sleek laptop bag perfect for the ultra stylish and fashionably petite HP Ultrabook.  The winner will be chosen by Jill of Inhabitat.com, the writers at Core 77 as well as Mondo from Project Runway (season 8) and will win $10,000!  Head on over to HP to learn more about this fun contest and vote on the 40 finalists!

This post is sponsored by the sleek, stylish, lightweight HP Spectre XT Ultrabook™, inspired by Intel. Vote for your favorite bag design!
