Neat cases/sleeves for iPad

Monday, November 29, 2010 @ 5:45 PM 0 comments!

I'm a little delayed in terms of acquiring the latest technology -- I just got an iPhone (which I love), but perhaps it's worth the wait if you want the absolute best (i.e. my iPhone 4 is better than the dad's [2009] iPhone 3). When Apple released the iPad earlier this year, I was a little skeptical because it didn't seem useful, and although I have yet to use one myself I've heard tremendous reviews from users; maybe someday I'll get one, but I don't need one at the moment. If you are an iPad owner and you're looking for a cool case/sleeve to protect it, you've come to the right place! And it's essential to be fashionable all the time, right?

The most unique fall stylish are....affordable?

Like I've said before, there's no need to deplete your savings to buy the best, trendiest fashions -- the quality is obviously higher, but there's no reason to fork out a couple hundred dollars on a designer fur vest, especially if you don't like the idea of wearing an animal.

Emma Watson: style evolution

Monday, November 15, 2010 @ 5:40 PM 0 comments!

Who knew that Emma Watson, who has been portraying Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies, would turn out to be a stunning, intelligent beauty? The Brown University sophomore recently chopped off Hermione locks, but luckily the Burberry model can pull it off. She's been taking fashion risks for nearly a decade now, and whether you not you like her fashions, you have to admit she's always looked good. These photos are all from the Harry Potter movie premieres.

Fall fashions...*gasp* not using polyvore [again]

Saturday, November 13, 2010 @ 10:55 AM 0 comments!

Creating outfits on polyvore is so easy that you forget how time-consuming it can be to do it any other way -- but, in my opinion, all the Googling is worth it, especially if you want to find designers and use websites that aren't typically found on polyvore.

Little Luxuries

Friday, November 5, 2010 @ 6:07 PM 0 comments!

No need to fork out your hard-earned cash on a purse that features the designer's not-so-subtle logo; although the quality far exceeds that of its imitators, simply put, you don't have that kind of money to throw around. But you're wise enough to avoid the temptation of ridiculously cheap (and admirably convincing) knock-offs, and realize the illegality and stupidity of buying a designer replica -- you want the luxury without the undeniably high price tag. You've come to the right place! Each of these pieces--all by some of the world's most recognizable haute couture designers--is under $100. Not bad, huh?
