Oscar de la Renta iPad Clutches










Oscar de la Renta has come out with a line of "iPad clutches" and they are fab!

The iPad cases were spotted in the Resort 2011 runway show. The idea behind the cases? Well, just before the show, Oscar himself purchased an iPad which prompted him to create a fashionable clutch to cover his new Apple purchase.

The first set of cases was exclusive and limited edition via oscardelarenta.com and sold out quickly. But do NOT fret... the second group is now available and will include a python and crocodile embossed leather versions. These items are meant to be part of your ensemble and make a statement!

Click here to find out more or to purchase. We don't have an iPad, but after viewing these "clutches", it does make us reconsider the gadget...

Travel Tip - Flat Iron Your Clothes

We are lost without our flat iron. One's flat iron can transform frizzy hairy to be silky and straight while also doubling as a curling iron to create a beachy wave look.

BUT... your flat iron can also do the in a pinch trick of smoothing out wrinkles in your clothes. This definitely comes in handy when you travel. If an ironing board and iron aren't available or you are in a rush, start your flat iron off with a low temperature and adjust as needed while you straighten out your clothes.
