Laptop Trendsetters

Sony has launched its new VAIO CR2 updated laptops, featuring a fashionable gold one. Software like MusicBox and Movie Story are the highlights of CR2 series. Music is automatically classified and stored in the laptop, and people can easily find music that caters to their different moods and conditions.

There is a USB camera with 1.3 megapixels maximum resolution, convenient for video business meetings and conversations with friends and family members.

TZ13, designed for business people, stands out among traditional laptops because of its pure white colour, light weight, sophistication, and its long-lasting battery. It weighs 1.2 kilograms and can be used for 11 hours before recharging.

 

Stylish Shoes

Black silk and suede covered with a carpet of black sparkling Swarovski crystals makes this limited edition Giuseppe Zanotti creation precious and elegant. Only 100 pairs have been produced worldwide, with each boot numbered by Giuseppe Zanotti himself.

Five of these Swarovski encrusted boots are available exclusively at the Giuseppe Zanotti store at the Shin Kong Place of Xidawang Lu at Jianguo Lu in the Beijing Central Business District.

The 2008 Giuseppe Zanotti Cruise Collection is a highlight of the new season. In the Cruise 2008 range, the pump reigns. Featured in silver, ivory, cherry or lagoon green, these must-have shoes are primarily crafted using patent and grosgrain materials. Watch out for the patent black peep toe pump with removable ankle strap. This classic style is given a slice of extravagance with a decadent heel covered in coloured crystals.

Also featured in the collection is the Giuseppe Zanotti metallic leather boot. Only a limited number of these stylish boots, in gold or silver, are available in China.
