FENG SHUI YOUR WEBSITE - For Spring?
Submitted by Valerie Donati on Tue, 04/13/2010 - 08:52
There is a trend happening now that suggests you Feng Shui your website for the season. Google it, the trend is there. Interestingly, at least to me, anyway, we are in the process of a site redesign, not for Brand Building but for my other company 24/Savvy. I liked our site, but according to both my amazing SVP and business partner it needed an overhaul. It wasn't intuitive enough; it looked too much like a blog. Just check out CNN's site, they said, see the difference? Of course, it's CNN and we're a lifestyle platform, not a news site. BUT, they think we're newsy too. Ok, off topic.
Today with all the tools we have available to us, doing a site redesign just because it's spring is not an impossibility, it's a probability. But Feng Shui your site? I think it's best to get a designer who knows how to make sure your site is more friendly to those souls who you most want to reach. Not sure positioning things the Feng Shui way is worth the effort, I've never believed in Feng Shui. But what I do believe is that shaking things up a bit can yield some really cool results. And with how "easy" it is to make changes I say go for it!
Festivus Is For the Rest of Us
Submitted by Laura Thomas on Mon, 08/03/2009 - 11:21I love a good music festival. Live music. Outdoors. Fresh air. Draft beer. Communal dance parties. And loads of eye candy. Such was the scene at All Points West yesterday in Liberty State Park. Oh, and tons of mud.
I must admit, that when I woke up and saw the sheets of rain pelleting New York City yesterday I was afraid (lightening, standing in a field, lots of electronic musical equipment. Sounds like a recipe for an untimely death.) but maybe a little bit excited to channel rock goddess Kate Moss’s Glastonbury look. And I will further admit that I looked her up on Google images to see how she managed to look fashionable, yet not foolish, with apocalyptic weather. So, I replicated one of her sensible yet stylish ensembles—green Hunter Wellington boots, black short shots, white tank top and nautical striped long sleeve shirt. Layering was key. My review? Excellent get-up for muddy condition music festivals. It took me through boogying down to MGMT, singing along with Coldplay, loving every minute of it covered in mud and music! Some other fashion observations: Loads of gents sporting trilby hats with short brims. The 80s look was out in full force for the ladies—lots of neon splatter-paint t-shirts and shiny leggings. The array of rubber rain boots was staggering—Hunter by Jimmy Choo, Tory Burch, Gucci—who knew everyone got in on the rubber boot racket? Everyone looked fashionable filthy.
Check out some of my cool photos.
