Android Wear gets a touch of high fashion thanks to Michael Kors

There have been various representations of Android Wear devices but many have been lacking the fashion forward design and materials that watch aficionados and style-focused users are attracted to. This isn't surprising since many of the companies creating Google's Android Wear compatible devices are consumer technology or mobile companies, their sensibilities are an extension of smartphones and PCs.

Companies like Fossil and most recently, Michael Kors is changing all that. Michael Kors new Access Line is truly luxurious yet functional and add some pizzazz to what is feeling like a tired segment. The Android Wear Access watches start at CAD $420 and go up to CAD $475. They come in both dressy and sporty versions plus have a variety of fashionable faces but with all the useful complications and notification capabilities expected from Android Wear. The Access Line is available for sale online right now.

Philips Hue White Ambiance has the right light for the right moment

By Sonya Davidson

We've been looking to renovate our master bathroom at home ideally to resemble the one at the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto. Wishful thinking but realistically there are ways to recreate at parts of it without breaking the bank.

I had seen the Philips Hue product line several times at press and consumer events. It had stuck with me but originally I couldn't get past the party light mood in my mind as that's what was shown - flashing, colourful and fun.
