Speedy Delivery: The above photo was taken backstage before the House of Holland show during London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012.
Lanvin CampaignI am sure by now you all have seen the Fall 2011 campaign for Lanvin featuring models Karen Elson and Raquel Zimmermann. It shows the women busting moves in a elegant living room while wearing the clothes (and heels) from the fashion house. It is an extremely cool campaign however, I have a confession, I am partial to the campaign for the guys.
Every time I view the photos of Lowell Tautchin and Milo Spijkers, I can not help but to giggle. It is so nerdy meets cool, in a very good way (Blame it on my crush on Dr. Reed – Criminal Minds). I just love the expressionless faces. If you haven’t seen the video for the campaign yet. . take a look.
The entire campaign was photographed and filmed by Steven Meisel. The Zumba inspired music the models are grooving to is Pitbull’s I Know You Want Me.” The gentleman in black, is no other than Alber Elbaz, creative head of Lanvin.
Follow Me and I Will Follow Back: Of course every so often, I am going to have to go on a self-promotion campaign, it is the way of blogging as it is in fashion (see above). I am a follow me and I will follow you back type blogger. I believe in being supportive of my sisters in blogging.
Here are all the social media places you can follow Queen in Heels and I will follow back:
1. Twitter- I tryto follow everyone following Queen in Heels back. Well, unless it is spam. What do I consider a spam page? A profile page filled with nothing but links. “Try this.” “Read this.” “Look at my Site.” Yes, I know Twitter is a place to promote but, there are limits.
2. Bloglovin- I must admit I only check Bloglovin every so often so, if you do follow there please, tweet me or leave a comment for me so I know to follow back.
3. Pinterest- For those who don’t know what Pinterest is, I will try to explain. On Pinterest, you create boards (think bulletin) where you pin things from around the Internet that inspire you. You can also repin photos from the boards of the people you are following. Yes, I pin heels there however, I also like beautiful bathrooms, Yummy food, and Christmas.
4. Tumblr – I try to tumble, at least twice a week, all the things I like that I do not post here. Unlike Pinterest, where I pin anything and everything, Tumblr is an extension of this blog so, it still mainly focuses on women and heels related material.
5. Facebook – I must admit, I have been neglecting my Facebook page. Once, I use to make daily status advice, quizzes, and more but, all the changes have put a damper on things. It is all about to change though, I am working on another fun trivia game. I do hope Facebook will allow it to be great. *screams over the new newsfeed*. Anyway, I try to like the others pages of my women businesses and blogs. I allow the pages to rotate randomly to show on the Queen in Heels page. I also do not mind when others “share” something on my page just please, do not abuse it.
If you notice, I am very consistent about using the Queen in Heels name on social media. That is very important when building a brand.
Oh, I forgot, Queen in Heels is on youtube. There are not any videos yet but, they are coming soon.
