Here at StyleDash, we couldn't be more excited about Sex and the City: The Movie, which is coming to theaters at the end of the month (29 days and counting!). StyleList is also ready to be "Carried Away" -- in fact, they are putting together the ULTIMATE Sex and the City FAN quiz and they need your help!
Just submit your best SATC brain-teasers in the comments. If your question is selected, your name and, if you choose to leave it in the comment, the city you are from will appear in the final quiz that will debut on StyleList just in time for the May 30 premiere.
Sample Question: How much money has Carrie spent on shoes? -- Christina W., Atlanta
(The answer to our sample question, by the way, is over $40,000 -- as Carrie said, upon realizing she couldn't buy an apartment because of her footwear addiction, "I will literally become the old woman who lived in her shoes.")
Crocs, the rubber shoemaker that seems to have both captured a nation and reviled fashion lovers everywhere, has severely cut its first quarter estimates. Not only are revenue predictions down $25 - $30 million, earnings per share have gone from a 46 cent a share profit to either break-even or a 5-cent per share loss. Ouch! The company is also closing its Canadian manufacturing operation.

As Spring inches its way towards Summer, now is a great time to clean out your purse, handbag or satchel from any junk that has accumulated during the year (seriously, according to StyleList, whatever is in there could be really gross). Or, if you are switching to a more seasonal purse that you haven't used in a while -- a great time to clean that bag out as well.
Although there are plenty of items that are easy to target as "trash" (old receipts, phone numbers from that guy you met six months ago and never thought about again, scrap paper), some items can be easily overlooked and given excessive stays of execution.
Take a look at our gallery for 5 items you shouldn't allow to fester for months on end. Is there something we missed? Leave us your suggestions in the comments.
I'll be the first to admit, I'm an absolute gadget junkie. When I travel, I have to dedicate an entire bag just for my electronics (MacBook, various portable hard drives, iPod, digital camera, digital video camera, GameBoy DS, chargers for all of the above).
But as much as I love gadgets, I hate gadgets that look like gadgets. You know what I'm talking about, cold, bland, corporate. What's worse, if you happen to have a lot of like minded friends, a night out can end in a game of "which BlackBerry is mine?" because they all look the same!
For me, geek chic is all about breaking the stereotype that geek = boring. This is where Skinit.com comes in. Skinit offers a way to both protect (from scratches and scuffs anyway) and add a touch of personality and pizazz to your cell phone, MP3 player or laptop. Most major brands and models are represented and each skin is custom cut for each device. You can even get a customized skin for your Guitar Hero guitar. Talk about geek chic!
Prices range from about $15 - $30 US and you can either design your own skin or use one of the hundreds of themed options. I've used Skinits skins in the past and they are not only easy to put on, when you do decide to take them off, they don't leave any residue on the device itself.
I just ordered two skins for my BlackBerry Curve, Gonzo from The Muppets and something pink to match the rubberized gel case I have already. If you don't want to lose your phone or iPod in the crowd, and want something geeky to match - check out Skinit.
As we covered last week, an ironic/kitsch t-shirt is an essential part of any geek chic ensemble. Although the line between "hipster" and "geek chic" is admittedly blurry (and for guys especially, there is tons of overlap), the best geek shirts are a little more specialized than your standard vintage logo tee. Think vintage computer software company logo tee.
Below are five of my favorite online shops to find geek chic shirts for both men and women (it is significantly harder to find great "geek chic" shirts for girls). Have a favorite geek chic t-shirt shop? Leave your suggestions in the comments!
