Okay, I’ve been preaching about fashion and technology for months now and this is exactly what I’ve been waiting for… smart clothes. I’m talking about clothes that make your life easier, whether you’re training for a marathon or headed for a night out with the clique; these clothes can redefine efficiency and time management. Here are a few of my favorite tech-savvy pieces:

The adistar Fusion Apparel Sports Bra

This bra by Polar and Adidas gives you a sleek design with textile heart rate sensors built into the bra, moisture wicking fabric, and an engineered pattern that maximizes your freedom to move. The chest transmitter has a user-changeable battery.

The best of Fashion Laptops

Graphic designer and tech blogger Tierra loves exploring the intersection of fashion and technology...from laptops to mobile to the latest gotta-have gadget, she's your girl.

Fashion is all about personality, flavor, and style from head to toe…and that includes your laptop! The concept of fashionable technology is not new, but today some companies are putting out some great designs that are becoming harder to ignore. My three favorite fashion laptops are by Ego Lifestyle, HP, and Lenovo.

Ego Lifestyle’s new laptop collection entitled Ego for Bentley includes elegant, car-inspired pieces made for glamorous gigabytes. Even the handle of this laptop and the doors that cover access ports are luxurious. The color options match Bentley’s exterior paints and the outside is trimmed with Bentley leather and crossed over with hand stitching just like the inside of a Bentley. Winner of the Microsoft Fashion PC Award, you can bet the inside is just as lovely as the outside.
