Lady Gaga’s Hot Tech Gadget: Polaroid Grey Label GL20 Camera Glasses
You’ll be singing “Paparazzi” if you manage to score a pair of these camera glasses when they hit the market later this year. The love child of the Queen of celebrity sunglasses and Polaroid, this high-tech fashion gadget lets you take or upload photos with the built-in camera and then display them on the LCD-screen lenses. Can’t afford the latest must-have look? Snap a pic and sport it on the lenses for instant—and inexpensive—fashion gratification.

Waterproof and Fashionable Tech Accessories: Caselogic Resistant iPad Case
Sexy bikini? Check. Extra sunscreen? Check. iPad? No way! Between sand, surf, and sunscreen, there’s no beach day fun-in-the-sun for iPads. What’s an app-addicted girl to do without her Pandora and Facebook? Down the tech runway comes Caselogic’s water-resistant little number with a double seal, front-flap protection, and a transparent window. That’s a must-have tech accessory you won’t leave home without.
