Currently crushing on...CHRISTOPHER KANE Galaxy-print modal T-shirt



I've always had a thing for all things to do with space - the universe , distant galaxies and aliens and so on. Probably because it's the last mystery , the one unknown frontier that is still left for mankind and we can still sit back and imagine all the wonders and adventures that might be hidden out there...beautiful !!


This T-shirt evokes that awestruck , mysterious kind of feeling without being outlandish.
 Nicely done !!

Lovely "Happy Holidays" banner greeting on net-a-porter !!




Here is a great example of how a web banners can be/do all of these at once - 
subtle , simple, classy, warm , human, attractive and exude subtle power.


Use a Top fashion designer/icon  , but keep the message friendly and warm. 

And , oh yes , make sure your website can handle it without stress ( Read -slowing down like crazy and bugging customers) and it works on all browsers including mobile ones.

Perfect length, Perfect cut and Minimal so that  a) it won't ever look 'dated' ,

What do you think , is it perfect or a little boring ?

Vaguely nautical but definitely elegant, a relaxed chic look that can go from day to night if you just add on a plush jacket and a few baubles.

Two Free directories to add your blog to - Bloggernity & Bloggapedia !!

I have been trying to find good (and free) blog directories to add my blog to.
And I came upon this list of five free directories -

http://www.bluefalconmarketing.com/blog/seo/best-blog-directories-2010


I am trying to try jump-start my non-existent SEO efforts by adding my blog to these directories. I am curious to see if and how, they will work .

I have already added my blog on to IFB (Independent Fashion Bloggers) and you can see the nice badge is flashing on my blog. I am not too active on the forum there but I do go and check some new blogs occasionally and end up following a couple of them.



Some of these directories need a link back and some of them demand it openly, while some of them politely request it. I am quite happy to oblige, but the space to add more badges is limited, hence this post with the links.


I hope this suffices !!


So check the links below and discover some great new blogs, while adding your own blog to get discovered !!

Currently crushing on...KORS MICHAEL KORS Vena distressed-leather wedge boots

Ah, now here is one pair of super stylish , practical and versatile Boots, I wouldn't  mind running around in all day. 
Umm, they don't have zippers...at least not ones that I can see.
I hope the leather is sort of stretchy !

But on the other hand, look how well they go with leopard prints !!

Currently crushing on...CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Attention 100 cutout mesh and leather boots



Simply divine. It helps that they are not platforms. Somehow much as I love platforms for cushioning the feet against such torturous heel heights, I feel,  this design probably would have looked clunky with platform soles.


For shoes like these, I am willing to undergo the torture !
But, do you think this almost mid-calf style would work well with the currently in-vogue midis ? I think not...


Love to know what you think, apart from minis, which outfits would this pair of shoes work well with?

Angela Ahrendts, Burberry CEO, at World Retail Congress 2010, about boarding the "Digital Tsunami".

The unbeatable team of Angela and Christopher has transformed Burberry , my favorite fashion brand (even before the transformation), from " Charming old-fashioned, self-effacing British " to "Edgy , young and aggressively urbane Brit".

The best part - it seems like a natural evolution from the inside out, not just a hastily put on mask.

Burberry has come really far by retaining the parts of its heritage that still work well , while discarding the rest of the inessential baggage , not a mean task for a brand that old.

I would love to see an in-depth interview, where we see Angela and Christopher talk about this journey and how they worked it all out. If ever there was an example of great synergy between strategic and creative minds - this has to be it.
