Charge It! Go Eco With the Bamboo Charging Station
If you're rolling solo, it's likely that you won't need a gadget charging station that holds more than a few mobile gadgets that you use daily (i.e., your phone, iPod or MP3 player, and point-and-shoot camera), so why spend your hard earned money on something you don't need?
Instead, check out the eco friendly and geek chic Bamboo Charging Station that has been marked down from $46 to $30. Cool thing is, the station can live on your desk, or hang on your wall to maximize space and create a modern decorative feature on your wall, even when your gadgets aren't being juiced.

Pregnant Anne-Marie & James Attend Premiere with Helen
Anne-Marie Duff showed off her baby bump with husband and costar James McAvoy at the premiere of The Last Station yesterday evening in London. She was glowing as she chatted with James and their costar Helen Mirren, who looked elegant in a purple dress. The film is out on February 19 and stars Christopher Plummer as Leo Tolstoy, the plot showing "his struggle to balance fame and wealth with his commitment to a life devoid of material things."
Decorating Ideas to Steal From the Last Station
I've mentioned before that I love a period piece. From the costumes to the set design, there's so much to feast your eyes on. I'm doubly excited about seeing The Last Station, since it combines fabulous design with equally fabulous actors (Helen Mirren, Christopher Plummer, Paul Giamatti, and James McAvoy, to name a few) and a great story, about the last chaotic years of author Leo Tolstoy.
The Name Says It All: Bluelounge's Refresh Charging Station
In case you haven't noticed, I have a thing for charging stations. I just can't get enough of 'em.

Rattan Charging Station: Love It or Leave It?
Very interesting — used to be, we only saw charging stations made of wood or plastic, but now it seems you can get the useful organizing hubs in natural materials as well — not everyone was into the Seagrass Charging Station, but it's a novel use of material.

The natural willow reed encloses the charging strip, while your gadgets sit in the front of the basket.

Floral Charging Station: Love It or Leave It?
I had no idea Laura Ashley was making charging stations. Just kidding. But this Floral Charging Station ($165) at Neiman Marcus reminds me of the '90s designer who loved — I mean, really loved — her florals.
