I bought a new digital camera a few weeks ago and have been on the search for a specific case to house it. (Side bar — I bought the Canon Powershot SD 780 IS and loooveee it. It’s teeny, takes amazing photos and comes in matte black  which I think looks pretty sweet– pictured left. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a point and shoot camera). I wanted something lightweight, compact and cute. I wanted something that wouldn’t take much room in my handbags and clutches — and ladies I know a lot of us have that issue. We  all want to have our cameras with us when we’re out on the town, but the dang clutch barely fits a tube of chapstick.  For awhile, all I could find were generic, clunky cases that didn’t solve that issue until I stepped foot in Urban Outfitters. I found the Hoodie (pictured) which houses iPods, cell phones and cameras. It fit all my criteria — compact, light-weight and cute — and of course I had to get it. It takes up little room, it protects my camera and it puts a smile on peoples’ faces when they see it — even guys! Dress up your gadget with the Hoodie, available at Urban Outfitters at Mall of America for $18. Urban Outfitters is located on level one, West.
