Audio Chi W Series

Definitely the most stylish set of headphones we've come across in a long while, the new W series from Audio Chi is sure to make any lady smile this holiday season. With a headband in gorgeous colors like gold, patent black and plum, Audio Chi headphones are super light and comfortable, and can accessorize any outfit. They're not only gorgeous, but the W series is some of the best sound quality available in headphones this compact. Listening to a standard mp3 track, Audio Chi brought forward some of the best bass I've ever heard through headphones, as well as multiple levels of tonality and intensity. It's studio quality coupled with street style.

InCase Gold Chrome iPhone/iPod

There's a lot of new bling-bling out this fall, but how much will a mink covered case really protect your iPod? For us, the choice is a no-brainer. Being that our favorite color is gold, we flocked to the new inCase metallic slider case. We tried out a sample, and could fling our beloved iPod off of a desk, watch it fly out of our hands onto the street, and the phone was intact. Incase is the name is iPhone/iPod protection, and has created a stunning line with hot details like a florescent interior. Did we mention the shiny case can double as a mirror? Nothing beats practical bling. Available in gold, silver, copper, and black.

Available for $34.95 from InCase
