Bay Area based Acme Made has done it again! The laptop, camera and lunch case company has designed a MacBook sleeve, the Lombard Sleeve, which not only protects your MacBook from the world, it looks fabulous and on-trend for 2011.

The Lombard Sleeve has a pretty antic design which is soft white and black with purple interior. This makes the Lombard Sleeve easy to wear with spring 2011’s bright and bold colors as well as the all-white trend. Since the fall 2011 runways are close to being over, we also know that colors, especially red, are not going anywhere.

Another trend from the fall runways is wearing black and white in the form of large color blocks, or wearing a black top with white bottoms; or vice-versa. The Lombard Sleeve will easily compliment an outfit that is black and white for fall as well as full of color, without clashing.

Most sleeves need to be tucked into a tote or held like a large clutch. The Lombard Sleeve by Acme Made comes with a handy shoulder strap that is detachable, allowing the sleeve to be worn as a laptop case or slipped inside a larger tote. The Lombard Sleeve is made for the MacBook Pro in either 13” or 15” sizes.

Twisted Silver necklace is hot for spring!

Twisted Silver, which is a hot jewelry line from right here in the Bay Area, has a fabulous necklace for spring that fits right into the spring 2011 jewelry trends from the runways. The runways in Paris, New York, Milan and London moved away from minimalism and into bold jewelry designs for spring. There were linear creations, bib necklaces, fringe necklaces, chokers and larger pendants.

The Moab Rocker necklace from Twisted Silver fits right into the large pendant trend and also doubles for the choker trend. The necklace sits right on the collar bone and features a unique, vintage silver leaf-like drop pendant that is made from a hand forged vintage spoon. The recycled or “up-cycled” vintage spoon pendant makes the Moab Rocker both on trend and green. Love it! The necklace is also adjustable so you can easily wear it over a turtleneck or adjust the drop of the pendant.

The Moab Rocker from Twisted Silver is made from both silver and brass. The pendant ranges in size from two inches to three inches depending upon the piece. Each necklace is one of a kind since they are hand-made. The Moab Rocker is a great investment for spring as well as fall 2011. The runway shows have recently ended in Berlin and Rio for fall 2011 and Paris Haute Couture is currently underway. The shows which have already taken place have given Fashionistas a glimpse into the trends which may appear on the Milan, New York and London catwalks. The fall 2011 jewelry trends are, thus far, a continuation of spring 2011 with even more pendants appearing in designer collections.

The Moab Rocker is priced at $70 and can be found online at twisted-silver.com. As a Bay Area Fashionista reader, you can receive a special discount of 15% off on your order by entering the coupon code INSIDERS at check-out. Happy shopping and stay fabulous
