New Designer Handbag Boutique Opens in Morristown, NJ

Morristown, NJ (PRWEB) May 25, 2011

Situated in the heart of Morristown, Gray Lily’s modern decor makes one feel as though they have stepped out of Morristown and into a Soho boutique in a matter of seconds. The boutique’s exposed brick & stone wall, and ceiling pipes also add to the feel of one nestled in a shopping district of New York City. Handbags and fashion jewelry situated throughout look more like decorations than merchandise. The sounds of ooh’s an ah’s are heard of customers as they make their way through the store admiring the decor as well as Gray Lily designs.

Jasmine Hapgood, the woman behind Gray Lily, said, “The name comes from the rare and endangered lily flower “lilium grayi,” better known as “Gray’s Lily,” as well as after 19th century botanist Asa Gray. “I wanted to offer a collection of handbags that is also rare – that is a collection that has something for any and every woman, no matter her taste, no matter her style,” she said.

A man of fifty can be equally as stylish as a man of twenty

The myth that the alpha male does not care about his appearance is false. The only truth in that
myth is that fashion can be complicated, and when certain things in life get complicated, they
are given up on all too easily. Whether you’re that guy who just wakes up in the morning, throws
something on and still knows he looks good, or a guy who picks out his suit the night before and
feels excited to wake up and stroll into the city looking fresh to death… Image is IMPORTANT. It
sends out a signal to others around you of what type of person you are. The key is to shop well, and
identify what best to wear on what occasion. Dressing up and dressing down can be fun if you know
how to do it right.

The facts are that the average male shopper who goes out to buy his clothes is not normally thinking
what will be best for the A/W season, or what his S/S 2011 wardrobe will look like. He may well be
intrigued by the world of designers, labels and brands, but a lack of time to research, or knowledge
of where to research stops him from actually taking the steps to improve an overall look which deep
down he wants to improve. The bottom line is that men like to look good too, but they need a push
in the right direction with instructions that are easy to understand and follow. Read more

Slim is fashion! BenQ’s New T850 8M Digital Camera Has Users Smiling

Intuitive Touch Screen, World’s Slimmest Profile* Make Photo-Taking Fabulously Fun

TAIPEI, TAIWAN, May 29, 2008 – BenQ announced today the launch of the world’s slimmest 8-mega-pixel digital camera, the T850 with 1600 ISO, 3x optical zoom and smc PENTAX lens.  Sleek and compact at 14.9mm thick, the T850’s chic stainless steel casing (available in black or red) reflects the minimalist operating ease of the camera.  Exceptional efficiency and user-friendliness are made possible by the highly intuitive photo taking and photo editing functions, which center around smartly organized circular touch buttons on the 3” TFT LCD screen.  Furthermore, almost all camera functions can be accessed and engaged by using one of three simple finger movements:  tap, circle, swipe.  In fact, the T850 standouts among touch screen cameras as the only one employing a natural “swipe” gesture for viewing photos and video.  A comprehensive selection of options including “Smile Catch”, Auto Face Tracking, Z Lighting, advanced photo art, scribble & scrawl and Quick Bar make the T850 a fabulously fun companion for bringing enjoyment and quality to today’s digital life.
 
Photo Taking So Simple, It’s Second Nature!
Spontaneous, quick, spur-of-the-moment.  Such is what defines that special moment so precious to capture in a photo.  And that’s exactly what defines the T850:  controls and menus so simple and second nature that capturing a spontaneous moment is a snap.  No pressing button after button to navigate through multiple menus.  The T850 has pared down complex camera operations to a minimalist, logical approach.  Circular touch buttons (just the size of the fingertip), which can be pulled up instantly on the extra-large screen, get users to the right setting fast so the moment isn’t just a memory.  Plus, the T850 features a Quick Bar that gives users even faster access to 80% of all photo taking needs.  For customized convenience, users can add three of their favorite functions to the Quick Bar.  Intelligently designed touch-screen icons that clearly represent their functions further eliminate the confusion typical of other complicated camera menus.
Tap, Circle, Swipe for Easy Navigation and Photo Editing
Once pictures are taken, users can easily view and enhance photos via three types of finger motions on the screen.  To reset the focal point, simply tap the preferred spot on the screen, and the T850 will re-center and automatically refocus the image.  To enlarge a specific portion of the image, simply draw a circle around the location with your fingertip.  The T850 will instantly perform a 12x zoom to the circled area.  Plus, by using the picture cropping mode, users can save the enlarged image as a new image.  Playback is no longer a pain with the T850’s ingenious functionality, which includes “swipe” recognizing ability – it’s the only camera currently available to perform functions with a simple finger swipe across the screen.  While reviewing pictures, swipe a finger right to left across the screen to see the next picture; swipe left to right to see the previous image.  When playing video or audio content, users can tap the playback bar forward (advance) thus eliminating the hassles of restarting the content from the beginning every time. 
The T850 is also equipped with advanced photo art functions.  Touch screen capability lets users free-hand scribble and scrawl fun captions and drawings to photos.  In addition, users can select from a numerous callout balloons and photo backgrounds/frames. Read more
