This post is part two of the HP Envy Ultrabook Fashion&Envy Contest. I have selected one winner from the earlier post and I’ll be picking another winner who will post the wittiest and the most relevant comment on this post. My final two picks of winners will be sent to HP and a celebrity judge will pick the final winner. Don’t lose heart as the rest of the selected entries will win some awesome goodies too! Yes!

Now you must be wondering what am I going to tell you that I didn’t mention in my earlier post… I am going to tell you how excessively stylish this little, sleek HP Envy Ultrabook is. No matter what you’re up to and where you are, it absolutely completes your look! Here are my few suggestions.

Ultra Work:

First job or pro-professional, rock the office look with a sleek HP Envy Ultrabook. It’s a perfect  lean-mean accessory.

 

Ultra Café:

Now when you’re chilling on the internet at home or in a cafe, you don’t need to sit next to a plugpoint or carry the bulky charger with you. Just take your charged HP Ultrabook and your’re sorted. You might run out of coffee flavours but you surely won’t run out of battery :P

Ultra Companion:

Traveling in or out of the city is never complete without your laptop. It’s so much more awsome to instantly transfer and upload your pretty hi-def pictures. I am kinda paranoid about losing my vacation pictures, so the first thing I do is transfer them on to my laptop at the end of day. Also a little bit Facebook stalking before saying “good night” is a must. That’s why, I can’t wait to go to Goa next month with my super light ultrabook. Showoff, I know :P

Tell me what will you do with your ultrabook. The wittiest and the most relevant comment stands a chance to win an HP Envy Ultrabook. I am serious. Here’s how:

I get lazy and selfish when it comes to giving away goodies on my blog but this time what I have been offered is so awesome that I have to give one to you too. Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen presenting to you my first ever giveaway contest where you could go on to win an HP ENVY ULTRABOOK inspired by Intel in collaboration with HP India.

It’s sleek, gorgeous, super fast and light with butter-smooth keys and great audio(beats technology). Here’s a quick video of me unboxing my HP Envy Ultrabook in the middle of packing and moving houses/cities(more on that later). Oooooooh and excuse the blonde moment where I try to switch on the just-out-of-the-box laptop :P

I have been a Macbook user for over 6 years now and when HP sent it over to me I wasn’t sure if I was going to be comfortable going back to pc. But very very surprisingly I was a-okay with the transition. This is lighter than my MacBook(which I still love dearly), the battery is kickass(I use it outdoors and it just goes on and on), the keys are smooth and quiet, and the processor is super fast. Its Beats audio technology offers great output while playing music which is surely another big plus for me.

The real test of the battery life of a gadget for a blogger is a fashion week. We need to survive for atleast 8-9 hours of madness everyday and charging our gadgets is really what we least look forward to. But hey, Lakme Fashion is just around the corner and with this new lappie I am all set to enjoy it laptop charger-free! :) If only my Sony Ericsson Xperia phone battery was even remotely as good, life during fashion weeks would have become just perfect! :P

 

 

PERFECT FOR LONG DAYS DURING FASHION WEEKS!!

Jean Paul Gaultier Designs Diet Coke Cans. One Quick Question.

July 6, 2012 Categories, FASHION, LIFESTYLE 5 comments

Jean Paul Gaultier Diet Coke Cans

The legendary couturier, Jean Paul Gaultier, has come up with two iconic ‘Night & Day’ Diet Coke Cans. The ‘Night’ can features Gaultier’s iconic corset and cone bra design; while the ‘Day’ can, Gaultier’s signature Breton blue-and-white stripes. These limited edition cans will be available In Europe till September.

The cans are gorgeous, they’re very Jean Paul Gaultier and it’s all very good but is it another way of saying fashionistas have got to be skinny?! Considering JPG was one of the first designers in the history to use full-figured women as models, it feels like a step back in thinking.

Do you agree with me? Opinions welcome.
