If you’re more of a bright summery kind of girl, then these butterfly USB hubs would probably blend in great with your style.  Personally, it just makes me miss the summer that is already over and hope for the one that is nowhere near close.  However, anyone can still appreciate the bright cheerful colors these butterflies come in.  Especially since they don’t just come in the stereotypical girl color of bright pink.
