HOW I’M WIRED
Stylerunner co-founder & CEO Julie Stevanja shares the tech obsessions that keep her going at full speed
Stylerunner’s Julie Stevanja on wearable tech.
1. BMW Connecteddrive (bmwconnecteddrive.com.au)
This system connects my phone with my car, and syncs the destinations in my calendar with the sat-nav. It already knows where I need to go and what the traffic is like, so it tells me if I need to leave earlier, chooses the best route and alerts people if I’m running late.
2. SONOS Play:5
($749, sonos.com)
I like to work to music so when I get into the office or home I’ll immediately connect to my Spotify playlists.
3. SQUARE Contactless Reader ($59, squareup.com/au)
We use these little touch payment devices for Stylerunner pop-ups. They’re so easy to use – you can connect to your bank account in minutes. Genius.
4. AMERICAN EXPRESS Amex Band (americanexpress.com/australia)
My latest obsession is this beautiful fineleather wristband with a payment chip in it. A lot of the banks are trying to get into the space of wearable payments. This one’s connected to my husband’s Amex, so its double the fun when I make a purchase with it.
5. LEDGO 150 LED On-camera Light ($165, digitalcamera warehouse.com.au)
I’ve got this portable light in my shopping basket at the moment. Somebody I know had one while shooting some Instagram content recently. They were wearing it on a rope around their neck while taking photos, but you could attach it to a tripod. When you have great lighting, an iphone is all you need.
