say hello to my new swimsuit from Old Navy online :)
this was on sale and i just couldn't resist the marked down price (US$19 + further 20% off), plus all my favourite things on it - ruffles, polka dots, ribbons, brown... you get the idea :)
needless to say, i got this in 'brown dots' colour. too cute!
confession: all my one-piece swimsuits are polka-dotted *oops*. well, what can i say? i stay true to my style. lol. i just keep getting drawn to them.
i'd never purchased swimwear online before, too risky without actually trying it on (especially for international orders) but i decided to give it a shot anyway, and so glad i did. this fits just right when i tried it on last night - a classic piece, fully lined, not too flashy, covers enough and shows off just enough too ;) i'm loving it.
yay! can't wait to go swimming this weekend..
hmm.. i can't decide if i wanna call this:
(i) innovative,(ii) interesting,
(iii) cute, or
(iii) kinda weird
check out this recent marketing initiative by Old Navy - SuperModelquin Super Search.
here's how it works:
challenge 1 ("pose with the plastic pros") - during the upload phase, visit a participating Old Navy store to pose and take a photo with a SuperModelquin. You will be required to bring your own camera and a friend to take your photo. then, visit the website and follow the directions to upload the photo into the appropriate category.
challenge 2 ("modelquin makeover") - during the upload phase, visit the website and upload a photo of yourself, or your child. then, choose from pre-existing options to create a Modelquin that most resembles the photo. follow the links and instructions to submit your photo and the Modelquin you created into the appropriate category.
challenge 3 ("lights, camera, plastic!") - during the upload phase, visit the Website and follow the instructions to insert your Modelquin into an Old Navy commercial. then submit a one hundred seventy-five (175) character word script to be incorporated in the commercial.3 finalists will be shortlisted based on the number of votes they receive. at the end of the contest, one lucky winner will become Old Navy's very own SuperModelquin, get cast into a real plastic mannequin, and walk away with US$100,000 prize.
i guess it's a neat idea.. but i'm not too sure what it'll feel like seeing a life-size mannequin of yourself each time you walk into an Old Navy's store :)
nonetheless, it is actually fun creating a virtual modelquin of yourself, almost like playing online paperdoll (or rather, plastic doll) ;) - give it a try here!
i don't know why i'm looking at these.. lol.. i don't even have kids of my own. i guess it's influence from friends and colleagues who've recently welcomed little babies into their families :)anyway, i saw these on Old Navy's e-newsletter today.. and just wanted to show them to everyone. the winter onesies are especially adorable! (check the website for more) the prices aren't exorbitant plus there are some holiday discounts going on.. and i know Old Navy's clothes are usually pretty decently made.
so if you still have some time, do some online Christmas shopping today for your own kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews or friend's kids...
