I know I'm at least a few days late but I had to come on here and tell you all how excited I am that asos.com has a US site! I have been on this site for years now and I LOVE all of the things that they have on there but I couldn't get over having to pay almost twice as much when you converted the price to US dollars from Euros. Then, on top of that having to pay for shipping overseas.

By that time my debt had gotten so bad that my whole paycheck couldn't cover the past due amounts and late fees on my credit card (and support my shopping habit) so I just shopped.

You'll be able to view the collection and even see detailed shots. Seems a lot like Style.com but whateves. Another feature that I think it cool (and Style.com doesn't have) is you can get information on where to buy the items. So look out for that. I still don't have an iPhone (womp) so I can't join in but tell me about it.LaTanya B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08822213370668294530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25408691.post-20339593661098547822009-07-28T10:01:00.005-04:002009-07-28T15:20:31.793-04:00The Satorialist Book: August 12thIf your familiar with Scott Schuman and The Satoralist blog, you will be happy to know that his book of photography will be released on August 12th and is available for pre-order on Amazon.com.I get a lot of inspiration from his blog and the people that he photographs around the world.

I wouldn't say that it has to do with the economy because honestly, I haven't really been affected by it much. My job is still in tact along with my salary and benefits, but I can say it has taught me to pay more attention to how much I spend and to look for deals.

I just love all of her editorials. I think she is the perfect model. She has a nice shape, I don't think she's to skinny. I've never seen her in person and sometimes the cameras lie, especially now with Photoshop. But it's just nice to see an ethnic model who doesn't have european features and is still considered beautiful.

I love people who have the courage to try different things and make unique things look hot! It never fails to intrigue people and get attention. Sometimes for being flashy but often times for being different. Rules are meant to be broken and trends do last forever. I thinks that's why I've been so intrigued by this Amber Rose character, and obviously other people are too.

I was skeptical about this show when I heard it advertised because over the years I had lost faith in BET.
