Maxi Dress Express!

Ekitzel — Thu, 23 May 2013 08:38:29 +0000

Warmer temperatures call for light flowing dresses that you can throw-over your suit on the way to the beach, or dress up for a night out! Maxi-dresses are PERFECT for going from beach to bar! Floral, solids and even prints are a great way to get layers off your body and the breeze doing you a favor! Let LightInTheBox keep you cool and chic all through summer!

Dream Come True! LightInTheBox.com Wedding Dress Review

Ekitzel — Wed, 22 May 2013 06:56:48 +0000

Pamela Sorias of San Diego California ordered her wedding dress from LightInTheBox.com and was very satisfied with her purchase! Enough to recommend us for her niece’s wedding as well! Do you have a LightInTheBox product that you love? Share it with us and we will be happy to post your review!

Dream come true

I was a bit hesitant to purchase my wedding dress online, how would it fit, would it arrive on time, what if there was a problem with the fitting. Light in the Box was absolutely amazing. I LOVE my dress, any questions I had they were very prompt in replying, my dress arrived and it stunning, lovely. I am so happy with the service and product that we have now ordered my nieces wedding dress at Light in the Box also. I highly recommend LITB!

So many news, so little time! This year boasted a ton of upgrades (Samsung, Apple. Microsoft, anyone?) and tons of concept designs. Read more for what’s in store in 2013!

Okay, so this isn’t the REAL iPhone 6, but one can dream, can’t he/she? Of all designs that I’ve seen, the general consensus is a built-in projector that can be shown on any surface. Apple will have its keynote on June 10th at the World Wide Developer’s Conference, where it should release some iPhone 6 news!

Does your phone ever get overheated, thereby rendering the phone impossible to use? Never fear! The NEC Medias X 06E has recently been produced, and can be cooled by a liquid cooling pipe located behind the display and next to the processor. Do YOU think this liquid-cooling phone is a good idea?

At Society for Information Display’s Display Week 2013, Samsung will be displaying several new gadgets, as well as its new 13.3-inch notebook with 3,200×1,800 (WQXGA+) pixel resolution, which surpasses Apple’s Retina MacBook Pro. However, with such a small display, what can you really do with such an excellent resolution?

Watch out, Apple fans! Coming this July, the iPad 5 will be in stores! With the same resolution of 9.7-inch 2048 x 1536, the iPad 5 will be even lighter, with an improved LED backlighting. Also in store for Apple this year will be two new iPad Minis, one of which has the Retina display. Are YOU excited for these new gadgets? Or are you not an Apple fan? =)

“We promise not to screw it up.” – Marissa Mayer, in regards to Yahoo’s acquisition of Tumblr, for a whopping $1.1 billion. With different demographics, can Tumblr survive under Yahoo’s rule? With a lot of adult content in Tumblr, Yahoo can potentially face several lawsuits in the upcoming years. What other troubles lie ahead?

Doodle3D is a new drawing tool that brings your sketches to a three-dimensional life. This tool was created from a Kickstarter campaign, and geared towards an audience with a less serious drawing skills but interested in 3D printing at the same time. The tool is actually a device itself that can be plugged into your iPad and 3D printer. COOL or not??

So there it is, the news of week. Which devices/upgrades are you most looking forward to seeing come to life??

Ciao!

LightInTheBox.com Figure Flattering Dresses on DestinationIDo.com

Ekitzel — Wed, 08 May 2013 03:39:27 +0000

DestinationIdo.com is a great site for brides that are planning a destination wedding! Their website and companion magazine has been advising many brides for years!

DestinationIdo.com featured LightInTheBox.com dresses in giving 5 tips to brides regarding getting the best dress to flatter their features.

Learn Their Tips Here:

Hint 1: Dark Colors & Prints - Remember that darker colors recede, making your silhouette appear smaller, and loud prints attract attention and can sometimes make you look bigger – you need to decide what effect makes you feel more confident – and then work it, girl!

Hint 2: Cup Runneth Over? - Cleavage can be sexy, if it’s kept under control and supported correctly. The right neckline (halter,V-Neck, strapless) and cut of the dress can enhance this area while still maintaining a look of class and sophistication.

Hint 3: Never Been Busted? – If you’ve got a small bust, the style and cut of a dress can add volume and you can create the illusion of a larger bust with embellishments, ruffles and other details, such as lace appliques.

Hint 4: Create some curves – To create a more hour-glass figure, you can create your own curves by choosing a dress with apeplum skirt, belt or empire cut waist, which is very flattering if you have a boyish figure.

Hint 5: If you’ve got them, flaunt them – Were you blessed with long, lean legs? Have you worked hard defining your arms and shoulders? Nothing shows more confidence than showing off the assets you are most proud of!
