Here’s a fun post for today that might start with the quote from Body Heat, “I’ll talk to you if you don’t talk about the heat.” (Hopefully that’s close.)
While that’s a favorite saying around our house here in Las Vegas, it still doesn’t prevent me from wearing my most favorite of all things… demin.
I live and breathe demin jeans. So this morning when I can across the Armani Exchange website, I had the opportunity to play around and create my own style (my other passions are tee shirts and handbags) which I’ll show you below. Keep in mind we’re not talking off the rack. Armani Exchange has “New Premium Denim starting at $98″ – yes Armani
I had to start, of course, with their J57 grey straight leg jeans. I choose grey, but they also have J57 in potassium straight leg. I considered the J11 Indigo Destruction Skinny Leg as a third potential, but I really prefer low rise jeans. They just fit better and look better on me.
I then was able to move into the “dressing room” and start putting shirts with jeans (or you can pick shorts, skirts, whatever), and adding accessories. I finally settled for a cool handbag (reference my passion above lol!).
Here’s the final result which should give you a fairly good idea about what I truly enjoy wearing. Give me a great pair of jeans that look cool, throw in an amazing top, and round it off with a stunning – very summer-like – handbag and voila!
Then I did some more digging around on their web site and discovered Armani is giving away a pair of demin every day throughout July. All you need to do is text A|X. Enter the keyword “DENIM2″ to ARMANI (276264). It’s that easy.
In fact, after visiting and putting together your ideal outfit or just purchasing a full price pair of denim from Armani Exchange, in store or online, between 7/7/09 – 7/19/09, and you will receive a gift card for $20 off your next purchase of $100 or more. And that gift card is valid from 7/30/09 through 8/15/09. Nice!
Let’s face it who wouldn’t want to wear Armani if the price is right. Street-chic, casual, sophisticated and affordable.
I’ve been so darn busy that it’s been a few days since I had the time to stop and do what I love… post something new on this blog.
However, it was worth the wait since we have several new resources you’re sure to find worthwhile, including information on how to start or get a job offline or on.
The first is Knol: A Unit of Knowledge. Not unlike a blog or wicki (or maybe just like a blog or wiki lol), Knol is a byproduct of Google where you can “share what you know and write a knol.”
With a PR of 7/10 (it’s Google’s own remember) and Alexa rank of 1 (again, it’s Google’s own), you can’t go wrong posting stuff you know and getting it listed and indexed in Knol.
The second item we’d like to share is a resource called Big Hit System, a pushbutton marketing resource run by a great guy named Steve Russell. Steve has put together the tools and resources you need to get the job done online. The best part? I’ve spoken with Steve and discovered another (gasp) online marketer willing to – yes – pick up his phone! He’s also been online long enough (since 2003) to know of what he speaks – another rare commodity and huge bonus for you! They even provide you with no obligation information on the home business right for you.
And while this next one is not new, if you’ve been hearing about the canonial tag and are still confused about whether you need to use it or not, that bolded link will take you straight to Google itself to read all about it. Best to get information like this straight from the horses’ mouth versus trying to interpret a third party’s interpretation. Website owners, article writers, and anyone with possible duplicate content on the same domain should read up on this “new” tagging system.
Last but not least, if you’re looking for a job or a change in career, head on over to this information found at the AARP website. You do not have to be of retirement age to benefit from these job suggestions. They provide 10 ideas to help you make extra money fast. Again, these ideas are for ANY age and they even suggest “going rates” for what you can charge, how to get started, and more. Remember if you found this or any of our other posts and pages of interest, please comment. We love comments! (And it’s free marketing for you.)
Ugh Greymatter comes to the rescue again with this interesting post I found last night. Owen had updated some of his videos and the one that caught my eye, and turned out to be very entertaining was the one about “Twitter in Plain English.”
So thanks to Owen, you, too, can be entertained in the simplest of forms, this YouTube video:
Now for someone to come up with a way that tells me how to manage to Tweet all day and still get work done LOL!
Diane Scott started out as the persona of two great friends living on opposite ends of the country. Diane currently calls Las Vegas home, while Scott lives in Baltimore.
While we both have spent the last decade(+) online (and offline) making our livings by analyzing and applying search engine optimization, traditional internet marketing, and social media strategies, as of August 2009, “Scott” is no longer part of OIMS – having decided to take his energies elsewhere – with well wishes to all his new endeavors!
So Diane Scott becomes a whole person – my alter ego so to speak – where “she/I” can let loose on any subject (just about). However, my main focus continues to be the testing, evaluation, and recommendation (or not) of methods to promote your website/blog and increase website traffic.
I do enjoy writing the occasional “get paid to” post – and try to pick out the ones I find most interesting and intriguing (and yes, the ones that pay well for doing so – if you’re a blogger you can/should/could, too).
Well that about brings you up to date as of September 2009.
While that’s a favorite saying around our house here in Las Vegas, it still doesn’t prevent me from wearing my most favorite of all things… demin.
