Coloured headphones
These are the best for the ladies who also mind their fashion. Be mindful of size since girls are naturally smaller than men. Big bulky headphones tend to fall off, leak sound, and might not be too comfortable.

Consider the durability as well and enjoy the variety of colours in which these come. You can purchase a pair for Shs20,000 to Shs50,000.

Smaller laptops/palmtops
Ladies, if you want to look nice in your well thought of corporate attire it is important to invest in a small laptop that can easily fit in your hand bag.

A big heavy laptop can not only be cumbersome but it will also require you to carry a backpack where it will fit or the carry along bag.

This does not have to be the issue though, with a smaller laptop you will not only be merciful on your back but will still allow you to have a nice chic look when it is tacked away in your handbag. Prices for this range from Shs700,000 to Sh2m.

Trendy accessories

Bosco Mulema of AS Electronics at Pioneer Mall says the trendiest phone accessory now is the patterned phone cases. These can transform your boring look into something more playful.

They are available in rubber and plastic and the prices range from Shs10,000 Shs25,000.

The screen guard/cover is also gaining popularity. These are like stickers that sometimes add colour and patterns to a plain phone, but they also play a protective role.

A screen guard reduces the chances of the phone screen breaking when it drops. These cost from Shs20,000 upward.

You can also bling up your gadget using shiny stickers and strings which you can get for Shs5,000. Letters and pendants can be added to the string as well.
