a british website sweeping the nation

With everyone becoming more and more technologically savvy, it's no wonder that millions of online shopping websites are popping up all over the web. The newest online store? ASOS.COM!
According to Teen Vogue, asos.com is the newest and coolest place where all the brits are shopping. It's a no brainer as to why it would be a smash hit in the UK; the clothes are a whole range of expenses, it has that hip, trendy feel of topshop, and it also carries name brands.
I checked out the website, and I was immediately impressed. Of course, here in the U.S. we have some similar online stores (shopbop.com..etc), but then again, they don't exactly carry their own line of clothing. Asos.com is definitely aimed more towards a british style, similar to Topshop. But unlike Topshop, there is a much wider range of options. Looking fashionable, chic, trendy, whatever you want to call it, is difficult when you don't want to blow all your monthly savings. But with Asos.com, you can find a huge price range of clothing depending on what you're looking for! genius

On all things British, musical note, I came across a British, boy band, One Night Only. Randomly, I came across one of their music videos on.... yahoo.. I always manage to learn something from yahoo news. Emma Watson, who plays Hermione in Harry Potter, stared in one of their music videos on youtube. (it now has over one million hits) Anyway, you might recognize the band leader from Burberry's spring ad-campaign. He was photographed with Emma Watson for the spring's collection.
I have been hooked ever since listening to their song, Say You Don't Want It. Hopefully their music will catch on! where have all the british, boy bands gone??

what do you guys think of this band?

KLOSS AMBITONS


I was meant to post this yesterday but due to the pile of work that I was assigned, I didn't get to it...

Anyways cutting to the chase! As most of you already probably know, Karlie Kloss is covergirl of the May issue of TEEN Vogue!!!!!!!!! And believe me, this is exciting news! I was practically jumping up and down when I saw the cover. I'm not sure if it is out yet but just from looking online it looks pretty exciting! It's nice to see that Teen Vogue is still thinking about variety (sometimes seeing a celebrity/actor/singer can get tiring). It's nice when they put up and coming models but even more interesting when they put an established model on the cover.
I think that the appeal on putting Karlie on the cover was her obvious youth and her extreme succes! In one of my previous posts (Strutting Towards Fame) I mentioned the numerous designers which she is the face of. Karlie with her signature runway walk, her extreme height, her youth, her interesting face, and originality in front of the camera makes her a huge success in the world of fashion.
Anyways, the photo spread, photographed by Patrick Demarchelier, embraces the classic highschool image, a football game. Karlie wore slighty tougher clothing but with some athletic twists... this was a prime shoot for several pieces from Alexander Wang's fall collection to get into. Some pictures from the shoot:
