Stylish Book Accessories Spotted on Etsy

stylish_books_accessories_etsy_fall

I’ve been reading a lot of books lately to try and  absorb the last lazy days of summer. Now, I have a few books that I’ve finished and would like to display with my other books. However, I want to throw some different colors, prints, and textures into the mix. So, I decided to head over to Etsy.com to see if I could find a couple of options and oh, girl, did I!

My book selections tend to be a little dark and monotone, so these bright and colorful fabric book covers would be nice sprinkled through my or anyone’s bookcase.

What’s a good book without an equally good and beautiful  bookmark for extra dazzle? These handcrafted bookmarks from byandreafenise Urbane Opulence collection feature faux skins, faux cowhide and sequins. These would make even the blandest looking book sparkle.

One of my favorite luxuries are leather-bound books. They just feel so authentic and add an antique feel to a book collection. Therefore, these leather bible and book covers seem so necessary and would make a great gift, thanks to the fact that you can get  initials stamped on the inside for a custom feel.

So, if you are looking for ways to spruce up your books or use books for design and decor, head over to Etsy to spot a few options.

Current App-dictions: Covet

slide05-530x471

The thing about apps, app games in particular, is that once you get addicted its hard to believe that you will ever stop not playing. Case in point, Candy Crush. Seriously, I thought that I was going to die playing this game.  All my free time (and some non-free time) was spent playing Candy Crush and I didn’t just spend, but also some real, American money. I still play CC every now and then, but just not everyday and all day…like I used to do.

Since I’ve broken free from the CC world, other games have gotten my attention such as Flappy Bird and most recently Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. The thing about the 2 latter games is that they caught my attention, because everybody was talking about them and playing them. However, eventually, the hype of Flappy Bird died out within a month and after  I reached an A-Lister within a week on Kim K. West’s Hollwood, it became super boring.

All of a sudden, I heard about and started playing this softly addicting games called Covet. Here are the basics. You begin by shopping and building your wardrobe and then enter fashion challenges or “events” to join where you style your own looks to win prizes and earn more virtual money to shop with!

This game has helped me curb my appetite for spending money on more clothes for me and instead, when I get the urge to shop, I just open up this app and starting spending…virtual money.

Do you or anyone you know play Covet Fashion? If so, let me know, because I do need more friends so borrow clothes from the closet. Oh, yes, you can borrow from friends closets! Awesome.

In case you are interested, the game is available for iPhone, iPad, and Android.

Instax Gratification /w FujiFilm

Picture taking has developed so much thanks to technology. Everyone with a smartphone and editing app can be a photographer…if they tell it.

Fuji Film introduced their Instax camera line a while back that revived the instant click and print ability of yesteryears, but with the big and clunky camera. Well, they upped the ante by combining camera phones and instant printing with their Instax printer.

The Instax printer allows you to take a picture with your phone, send to the printer via an Instax app, and print all in 30 seconds.

The app also has plenty of cool features including printing real time info such as time, weather, and location and also has a built-in filter options to enhance your pictures without the need of an additional app. Plus, you can share the framed picture on all your social media accounts. I love technology!
