Be Smart

Don't you just hate it when you fall in love with a gadget that's not available in this country? I'm a big fan of tokidoki, as faithful readers already know, and love my beautiful handbag, jewelry, belt buckle, and other accessories designed by Simone Legno. Therefore his limited edition tokidoki, PC - exclusive for the Japanese market and which can only be purchased on Fujitsu’s website - is killing me.

But the good news is that this FMV Loox eco friendly computer will be available state-side in the next six months and should retail for around $1,100.

While your shopping, I mean, browsing the tokidoki site, check out the evocative painting Simone created for the “This One’s For The Children of Sichuan” charity auction to benefit children affected by the disastrous earthquake that struck the Sichuan Province of China in May of this year. (An impressive group of artists and vinyl toy companies have come together for the charity auction which will take place online with live auctioneers from Friday, August 21st to Sunday, August 31st.) Give till it hurts.
