I’ve already admitted that my $20 cell phone that allows me to send texts, make and receive phone calls, calculate tips, and set an alarm clock is probably more than outdated. I’m not someone who goes gaga for gadgets, but there are a few that I would actually call sexy: Ferrari Testarossas, flat screens (although as they are the norm now they are losing their mystique for me), and Prada phones. Mac gadgets are sleek, I’ll give them that, but I don’t think I’d go as far as to say they are sexy.
Anyway, the product in question today is the soon to be released Prada II phone. This phone is set to launch in Europe at the end of November or for the Christmas season, but no one seems to be pinning down a date, which maybe should make Prada fans worry they’ll be waiting longer. And for those of us on this side of the Atlantic, what does that mean? More time to save up!

- Why did you start blogging? What does blogging give you in your daily life?

I came across many fashion blogs that were funny, irreverent and offered an alternative viewpoint to that found in mainstream fashion publications. I kept looking for blogs on the luxury industry that offered the same kind of insight or witty commentary and I couldn’t really find anything that even came close to the better fashion blogs. A journalist friend of mine kept telling me I should start my own, so I finally did.

I was inspired by other fashion/style blogs such as Style Bytes & Style Bubble. At the same time, I wanted to challenge myself to wear something different everyday as part of my blog posts. Blogging is an avenue for me to put out my ideas and thoughts on fashion & style to like-minded people who want to discuss. In real life, it might be a bit too intense for my friends and family.

I started blogging because I was working as a newspaper journalist at the time, and blogging seemed like a natural extension of that. What does it give me in daily life? Well, a lot of hard work, for a start, but also the opportunity to make a living writing about things I love, and to meet like-minded people.
