Cute Cases for the Newest iPhone 6!

Put a Case on it! iPhone 6 Cases!


Yesterday I moved on up in the world and upgraded to an iPhone 6, saying goodbye to my trusty iPhone 4. We'd been through a lot but after two years, a non-functioning power button and constant glitching it was time for a much needed change. Unfortunately the store was completely sold out of all of the iPhone 6's in stock so I have about a week to wait before I get mine in the mail. Honestly I'm completely happy waiting because this gives me enough time to get a case! Let's be serious. I don't trust myself to have a vintage 4 for a few days without a case let alone the newest version so this is a much needed delay. Here's the only issue: because the iPhone 6 is pretty new the case options are at a minimum. In the store there were some great hefty industrial options but I'm not quite sure that truly fits my style so it was off to the internet!. After about an hour of scouring I did find a few options that are great to keep my phone both secure and add a little personality. I think I've decided on the case below {from Society6} but I've got a few more days before I have to make up my mind. Can't wait to get my hands on it!


Have you found any great cases for the new iPhone 6? I'd love suggestions or reviews!!!

What You Should Know About Apple's New Products


So I'm a super nerd when it comes to the Apple releases. Every summer I set aside the day to watch the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference and I am absolutely shameless about this. Needless to say, yesterday my eyes were peeled on the release of Apple's new digs! I'm all about the added pixels in the screens and faster processing however right now I'm going to break it down to the top three things you should know about Apple's new releases!

1. A bigger iPhone!
Yep, it's finally happening. Apple has released two phone sizes, the first iPhone 6 has a casual 4.7" screen and the new larger version, the iPhone 6 Plus is 5.5". While the iPhone 6 has 1 million pixels, the Plus has 2 million. I can't wait to get my hands on that display! These new phones are slimmer and more rounded on the edges calling for a new collection of cases. While the iPhone 6 has 1 million pixels, the Plus has 2 million! The phones have a newly enhanced camera fit with image-stabilization. Hello bloggers!

2. Apple Watch
The thing we've all been waiting for! So yes, the rumors have all been true, the apple watch is a thing however it is much more attractive than I had expected. With the release of products like google glass I had expected the Apple Watch to be clunky and, honestly, dorky yet this product is sleek just like the rest of their line of gadgets. It comes with multiple interchangeable bands with a variety of faces from aluminum to gold! It is worked by swiping the screen of the face to access your apps. It has functions including GPS and works similar to a FIT band in that it can record your heart rate, activity and calories consumed. Sweet!

3. Apple Pay
This function is intended to eliminate the use of credit cards. It lets you carry out transactions over your phone or watch! Seriously, how cool is that? Essentially it allows you to pay for goods without sharing your credit card, address or other personal information with the merchant. Apple is taking over the world!

Well, I hope this Sparknotes guide to Apple's new products helped you out in the world of tech! It's always good to know what's going on in this industry and especially with the big tycoon's like Apple. I know my eye is on these products, especially that new and improved larger iPhone!

What do you think of Apple's new changes?

#FridayFinds: The Party Party app!


Of course I am usually dying over the week's Friday Find (hence my longing to share it with you all) but I'm especially obsessed with this one! This week Elsie and Emma over at one of my favorite daily reads {A Beautiful Mess} have unveiled their latest app in the iTunes store, Party Party app!

I loved their first creation, A Beautiful Mess, and all of their photo films and stickers so I was totally down to spend the $.99 to pay for this new one!

OH MY GOSH! Loving it!

These girls did it right! The Party Party app is a mini photobooth for your phone! Can't wait to try this out with a big group of girlfriends! It  features a super easy-to-use photo timer for stop motion animation that can be made into gifs like the photo below or classic photo strips like the photo above! It also has tons of filters and photo editing tools to give a vintage or modern flair! I've been having so much fun playing around with this little app!
