Roberto Cavalli at H&M

Roberto Cavalli has joined the list of top designers who have created a new more affordable line for everyday consumers. Cavalli’s new collection, which is now available at H&M, comes just months after Vera Wang introduced Simply Vera Vera Wang at Kohl’s. Cavalli is joining other well known members of the fashion industry who have collaborated with H&M, including Madonna and Viktor & Rolf.

His collection includes many animal printed pieces and black & white classics. His new line can only be found at 200 select H&Ms around the world. Don’t worry, you can check out the collection at HM.com!

The future of Cavalli’s collection is looking good! Especially since most pieces sold out in almost an hour at the New York releasing of the collection which Cavalli attended personally.

News on the Web

I usually get the news from AOL or Yahoo News while I’m on the internet throughout the day and if I have time, I like to watch the Today Show in the morning while I’m getting ready and doing stuff around my room. This week our Professor asked us to check out NewYorkTimes.com and BBC.com.

On NewYorkTimes.com I really enjoyed the Style, Arts and Travel sections. I never realized that the New York Times would have so many articles I would be interested. The Travel section was especially great. Not only do they have travel articles but there is also a section for you to “Book Your Trip.” With the help of Expedia.com you can search for flights, hotels, cruises and cars right on the New York Times website. You can also search for articles for where you are headed. It has recommendations for places to stay, eat, what to do, and even the best time to go based on readers recommendations. This section has a lot of valuable information for when you are planning your next trip.

BBC.com was much different from the other news sights I have been on. This news sight is focused more on the world. You have two options, either the International Version or the UK Version. People from all over the world can find news on BBC.com. There are 33 different languages that you can read in. There’s even a section to help people learn English. I would definitely recommend everyone check out these news sights if you haven’t before.

BBC and New York Times online!!!!!!!!!

After exploring BBC and The New York Times on the internet, I realized that there are a lot more things going on in the world than I ever imagined. Usually, I only have time to watch the news on television in the mornings. However, the internet is a very quick and efficient way to get information. Overall I really enjoy The New York Times because I love reading the Fashion and Style columns. The New York Times seems to cover larger portion of topics such as Art, Style, Sports, and Travel that really interest me.
On BBC.com, it seemed to divide everything up into regions such as Africa, Americas, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Europe, South Asia, UK, etc. But in the New York Times, they only had World, and more varieties other than just Health, Technology, and Nature.
BBC I thought today was very interesting. One topic that really caught my eye was, “Girl Separation Surgery a Success.” This truly was interesting. The article talked about a two year old girl who was born with four legs and four arms. Her parents did not know what to do, until some doctors decided to help them out. The girl was sent to the hospital to have a special operation to remove the extra pelvic, extra arms and legs. On BBC, under the Health section, there was a video of the girl and some of the doctors prior to her operation. This definitely made the reading very enjoyable and entertaining. BBC and New York Times both have videos, and I believe that this is awesome advantage, because it gives the reader a better idea what is going on, and it makes the articles more believable. I love the videos!!!
