News Did you try to order the new iPhone 4?
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 11:43 AM
Well, then you're the reason why the rest of the world couldn't pre-order yesterday.
From CNN:
Customers eager to buy Apple's new iPhone 4 experienced massive and widespread difficulties when attempting to pre-order the smart phone on Tuesday, the day it went on sale.Users trying to order the iPhone on Apple's website received an error message: "Your request couldn't be processed. We're sorry, but there was an error processing your request. Please try again later." Attempts to preorder from AT&T's website yielded similar error messages.
So you see? If only you had waited a day or two, you wouldn't have broken AT&T. You should feel guilty. Really guilty.
In other news, I'm not as hyped about the new version as I have been in the past. It might have something to do with the fact that ever since they announced the iPhone 4, my current iPhone (the second version, the 3G, for those of you who care) has been acting funny, dropping calls when it clearly has full signal. I'm thinking it's a conspiracy to MAKE me buy the iPhone 4, which makes me NOT want to buy it at all.
But I do have to admit: I REALLY want the capability to multi-task.

Events Revolve celebrates one year
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 3:01 PM
Before Revolve Upscale Men's Consignment Store opened up, let's be real — consignment stores were for the ladies. After all, it's women who buy the clothes, wear the clothes, and recycle the clothes.
Now, a year later, owner Amy Pickard has shown us that, indeed, consignment can be about the fellas, too.
Saturday, Revolve will be hosting its one-year anniversary. And because it's the store's for the men, you're not going to find glasses of champagne or wine and cheese crackers as the refreshments on hand. No sir. The invite says there will be "hamburgers, hot dogs, drinks and sales galore" — sounds good to me!
Here's some more information and where you can RSVP.

Merch to Purch Would you wear these Butterfly Love Peep Toe Wedges?
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 11:44 AM
Found this shoe featured on Outblush.com. Colorful, yes?
Reminiscent of Rainbow Bright? Indeed.
But would you sport these Butterfly Love Peep Toe Wedges from British shoe label Poetic License?
(Incidentally, while checking out the Best Sellers listed on their site, this shoe came up. What the ...?)
