It's a Dolce & Gabbana kind of week. First, the designer duo discussed their relationship with the digital world in a brilliant interview with Imran Amed from The Bussiness of Fashion and today they're launching their first e-store! Not happy with this, they are also throwing a party at Net-a-Porter's London headquarters tomorrow night to celebrate the arrival of their brand to the e-tail giant and its brother Mr Porter.

The new e-store is super user-friendly and even more blogger-friendly. Within a click one can share a look or item you like on twitter, facebook or tumblr. You can also choose whether you'd like to see the clothing grouped by category (ie. jackets, skirts, jumpers...), by look or by style. They even give you the option of choosing the way the results are displayed!

The packaging seems to be in consonance with the brand's cool and chic aesthetic and you even get free shipping when you spend over £200! What is not to like?!

Roger Vivier is relaunching their namesake site and adding an e-store to it. The pictures to the right are a preview of what it will look like. I love the really homey interiors that serve as a background, almost like you're hanging out there sitting on the velvet sofa and looking at accessories.

If a beautiful aesthetic wasn't enough the new website also offers its own fashionable version of the famous Pacman game. Only in this particular case you are a little red Metro bag and you must find all the Miss X collection pieces by picking up all the RV signature buckles without letting the scissors get you! I actually played it a couple of times and it's quite fun!
Also to celebrate the relaunch and as an ongoing feature Roger Vivier will sell 'ultra-limited' edition pieces like the Lunge Psyche Mexico bag in the picture exclusively online. You can even get your hands on any of these things via their also new iPhone app.
What else could we possibly want?!


PS. Don't miss Ines' (de la Fressange) Little Diaries. She is simply très chic!

e-Zara

Apparently today is all about high street news. I can't say this overshadows the Lanvin x H&M collaboration but it's definitely neck to neck with it battling it out as biggest news of the new month. Zara's online shop officially went up and started business today in the UK, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany and Italy.

The new site is simple yet rather chic and quite user-friendly. Everything, from the garment categories to the checkout and any other aspect you can think of have been taken care of to be as straight forward as possible. There is nothing difficult about buying Zara online. Payment is also simple as they take both credit cards (Visa, MasterCard and American Express) and debit cards (Visa Electron) as well as PayPal.

The best part about Zara selling online is their delivery. You can choose a Zara store for pickup, in which case delivery (from three to five days) is free of charge. An absolutely awesome option because you still kind of get the 'physical' shop experience. Or you can stick to the old school method and get it delivered home. With the same delivery time, you can choose between standard home delivery (£3.95) or  express home shipping (£9.95), which will get your fashion to you within a maximum of 48 hours. And the environmentally-friendly package customised they use for each delivery is simply the cherry on top.

I'm off.
