     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(SAN MATEO, CA) The San Mateo County Fair organizers have announced that the 79th annual San Mateo County Fair, which concluded on Sunday, June 16th, exceeded attendance goals of 120,000, with a 20 percent increase in attendance over 2012.  This year&#39;s Fair also surpassed attendance for the 2011 fair&#8212;one of the largest attended fairs in several years.<br /> <br />According to San Mateo County Event Center&#39;s General Manager, Chris Carpenter, &#39;We have developed an integrated marketing, advertising, public relations and social media program with a solid team. The successful numbers demonstrate that our program and content are resonating with the community. We thank our Fair attendees, volunteers, participants, Fair Oversight Committee and San Mateo County Exposition and Fair Association Board of Directors for their direction and support as well as Congresswoman Jackie Speier for &#39;Make it In America&#39; and San Mateo County Supervisor Adrienne Tissier for Disaster Preparedness Day. We have already started planning based on input, research and data from our Fair attendees and the community, for next year&#39;s 80th Anniversary Fair.&#39; <br /> <br />This year&#39;s Fair expanded the Technology and Industrial Arts Department, brought in musical talent from Three Dog Night, Starship Featuring Mickey Thomas, Morris Day, The Whispers, award winning tribute bands Aerorocks and Queen Nation and Tower of Power for two nights. The Rainforest exhibit has developed into a regular featured attraction along with Super Science.  Livestock, Carnival Rides and the Pig Races were still considered the biggest draws to the San Mateo County Fair. Of particular interest to kids and their parents this year were the Technology and Industrial Arts exhibits where children and teens could watch the Frisbee throwing robot from the Aragon High School Robotics Team, or deconstruct electronics such as copiers and circuit boards, and learn to make Apps and video games.<br /> <br /><strong>About The San Mateo County Fair</strong><br /> <br />The San Mateo County Event Center is the host of the San Mateo County Fair, which will be held June 7-15, 2014.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Beaverton, Oregon - San Sero have launched a new 100% BPA free waterbottle perfect for cycling. Using the most advanced Purist&#8482; taste technology, these waterbottles are exceptionally durable and consistently deliver a glass-like taste experience. With a lifetime guarantee and flexibility to fit into any bottle cage, this bicycle waterbottle is certain to be an instant success with adults and children alike. It can be viewed here <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CX2R1N2" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CX2R1N2</a></p>

<p>These unique BPA free bicycle waterbottles are manufactured in America using fully FDA approved recyclable low-density polyethylene. This earth friendly product is very easy to use with its flexible structure making it trouble-free to grip and squeeze the bottle. Complete with a special MoFlo cap, these bicycle waterbottles won&#39;t leak while also ensuring maximum flow when needed. The bottle sizes are suitable for both mountain bikers and road racers.</p>

<p>The advanced Purist&#8482; bottle technology used to create these BPA free bicycle waterbottles incorporates a silicon dioxide (SiO2) coating, creating a protective layer within the bottle. This not only prevents the contents from absorbing any odor or taste from the bottle, it also makes it much easier to clean. Additionally, this specialized coating and unique design discourages bacteria and mold from forming within the bottle. The bottles are also fully dishwasher &amp; icebox safe.<br />Cleaning these waterbottles is hassle free. Simply place in the dishwasher or add some hot water, a little dish liquid and shake vigorously. There&#39;s no need to scrub the inside of the bottle as the SiO2 coating will ensure nothing adheres to the interior surface.</p>

<p>These BPA free bicycle waterbottles have been reviewed by Bikeradar.com and described as &#39;almost perfect in every way&#39;. Although slightly more expensive than other water bottles, it&#39;s important to recognize that the superb design, resilience and flexibility is well-worth the investment. Plus, with a lifetime taste and leak proof guarantee, you can&#39;t go wrong with these bicycle waterbottles.</p>

<p>San Seros&#39; 100% BPA free bicycle waterbottles are available in 22oz and 26oz sizes. They are beautifully designed with a unique Celtic Irish motif, making them both attractive and practical.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1 December 2012 &#8211; 31 May 2013 <br />FIRST HALF-YEAR</p>

<p>    &#8226; The H&amp;M Group&#39;s sales including VAT increased in local currencies by 5 percent during the first six months of the financial year. Sales in comparable units decreased by 4 percent. Converted into SEK, sales excluding VAT amounted to SEK 60,027 m (59,491), an increase of 1 percent.<br />    &#8226; Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 9,359 m (10,754). The Group&#39;s profit after tax amounted to SEK 7,113 m (7,958), corresponding to SEK 4.30 (4.81) per share. Substantial negative currency translation effects and long-term investments during the period make it difficult to compare the results with the corresponding period last year.</p>

<p>SECOND QUARTER</p>

<p>    &#8226; The H&amp;M Group&#39;s sales including VAT increased in local currencies by 5 percent during the second quarter. Converted into SEK, sales excluding VAT amounted to SEK 31,635 m (31,658). Sales in comparable units decreased by 4 percent.<br />    &#8226; Continued substantial negative currency translation effects as a result of the continued strengthening of the Swedish krona against most sales countries&#39; currencies. The reported sales of SEK 36,923 m including VAT would have been approximately SEK 1.8 billion higher using the same currency rates as in Q2 2012.<br />    &#8226; Gross profit amounted to SEK 19,337 m (19,546), corresponding to a gross margin of 61.1 percent (61.7). Increased markdowns have negatively affected the gross margin by 0.9 percentage points in relation to sales compared to the corresponding quarter last year.<br />    &#8226; Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 6,125 m (7,053). The Group&#39;s profit after tax amounted to SEK 4,655 m (5,219), corresponding to SEK 2.81 (3.15) per share, a decrease of 11 percent.<br />    &#8226; A successful start for &amp; Other Stories and continued very good performance by COS.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>    &#8226; Sales have got off to a good start in June. Sales increased by 14 percent in local currencies in the period 1 June &#8211; 17 June 2013 compared to the same period last year.</p>

<p>   <br />Comments by CEO Karl-Johan Persson</p>

<p>&#39;The second quarter has been a period of intense activity, with the opening of nearly 100 new stores. We have for example, opened our first store in the southern hemisphere in South America &#8211; in Santiago de Chile. The store has had a fantastic reception from customers. We are continuing our strong expansion in Asia where we now have 200 stores and where we are now starting to establish our newer brands like COS and Monki.</p>

<p>This quarter has been marked by substantial negative currency translation effects, which have had a negative impact on both sales and profits in SEK. Sales in local currencies increased by 5 percent. Although sales remained strong in Asia, overall sales were not satisfactory mainly due to the continued challenging situation for the fashion retail industry as well as unfavourable weather in March and a couple of weeks into April in many of our big markets.</p>

<p>At H&amp;M we take a long-term perspective and we are continuing with our investments in IT, online sales, new brands and broadening the range. Although most of these long-term investments have not yet generated revenues, we see them as wise and necessary &#8211; all in order to build an even stronger H&amp;M. The fantastic response that our new brand &amp; Other Stories has had from customers is one example of an investment that has already borne fruit. During the quarter we opened our first seven stores of this new brand, in cities such as London, Paris and Milan. COS continues to perform very well and the strong expansion of the brand continues both in existing markets and in new markets such as Turkey and Switzerland, where we will be opening COS stores in the autumn.</p>

<p>There is great potential in the growing online market. We are looking forward to launching our online sales in the US in August. In parallel, we are continuing our work on the global roll-out of H&amp;M&#39;s online store, with the aim of adding several new online countries during 2014.&#39;</p>

<p>  <br />The information in this Interim Report is that which H &amp; M Hennes &amp; Mauritz AB (publ) is required to disclose under Sweden&#39;s Securities Market Act. It will be released for publication at 8.00 (CET) on 19 June 2013.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>H &amp; M Hennes &amp; Mauritz AB (publ) was founded in Sweden in 1947 and is quoted on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. The company&#39;s business concept is to offer fashion and quality at the best price. In addition to H&amp;M, the group includes the brands COS, Monki, Weekday, Cheap Monday, &amp; Other Stories as well as H&amp;M Home. The H&amp;M Group has more than 2,900 stores in 49 markets including franchise markets. In 2012, sales including VAT were SEK 140,948 million and the number of employees was more than 104,000.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seven Spanish brands present an exclusive catwalk show at the famous kidswear exhibition.</p>

<p>The 77th Pitti Bimbo will take place from 27 to 29 June at the iconic Fortezza da Basso in Florence.</p>

<p>An event running parallel to the prestigious Florence exhibition will add to the appeal of an attractive exhibition schedule. For the second year running, an exclusive show dedicated to Spanish kidswear will make Bóboli, Barcarola, Cóndor, Desigual, Losán, Mayoral and Pan con Chocolate the stars at the second day of Pitti Bimbo.</p>

<p>At 10 a.m. on Friday 28 June, six brands &#8212; all top international names &#8212; will take the Sala Rondino of the Fortezza da Basso exhibition centre by storm, brandishing outfits which combine talent with design, quality, comfort and fun, all in kid&#39;s size.</p>

<p>The edition will showcase Summer 2014 collections, which Spanish brands have interpreted in a rich mixture of different codes: ethnic and tropical, Hippy Cool, Safari, Hawaii in the 1950s and Street Wear in vitamin colours. There are also updated preppy looks and silhouettes inspired by the Mediterranean. A rebellious, vibrant and deeply-pigmented colour palette rubs shoulders with pastel shades, turquoise and navy.</p>

<p>Considered the best global showcase in the sector, Pitti Bimbo confirms and ratifies the global reputation that Spanish fashion has earned for itself, offering a unique opportunity for companies to strengthen and consolidate their brand image.</p>

<p>Spain has a strong showing at Pitti Immagine Bimbo, and will this year have 22 kidswear exhibitors representing a total of 26 brands.</p>

<p>These include Ágatha R. de la Prada, Bóboli, Mayoral, Nanos, Cóndor, Pan con Chocolate, Desigual, Nice Things Mini, Fina Ejerique, Paz Rodriguez and Barcarola in the textiles segment, and León Shoes, Cuquito, Eli, Pretty Ballerinas and Unisa in footwear. The brands see taking part in Pitti Bimbo as crucial to their international ambitions. Their collections come under scrutiny from the world&#39;s top buyers and they claim that participation brings substantial commercial and economic benefits.</p>

<p>Pitti Bimbo brings together 460 brands in an area of more than 47,000sqm. At the last edition, the exhibition received more than 10,000 trade visitors from 80 countries, both buyers and opinion leaders.</p>

<p>To strengthen the image of Spanish children&#39;s wear, some leading brands have featured in advertising inserts in prestigious Italian fashion magazines like Vogue Bambini, Bambini Collezione and 0-3 Baby.</p>

<p>Italy is the biggest market for Spanish textiles experts. In 2012, this market accounted for almost a quarter of Spain&#39;s total sales in the sector, worth more than &#8364;100 mill.</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID176106 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=BUA">Business Announcements</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ENT">Entertainment</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=FAS">Fashion / Appeal</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=TEX">Textiles</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=CHI">Youth / Children</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Fashion-Appeal/~4/Osl9T8aHLDI" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Snapdragon creates the most memorable <a href="http://www.snapdragonparties.com/amazing-events/weddings" target="_blank"  >luxury weddings</a> and events worldwide. Combining creative flair with flawless execution, they set a new benchmark for customer service.   The MD is now inviting bookings for free consultations with her for next seasons events.</p>

<p>What makes Snapdragon unusual is the way it delivers its service.  Julia describes it as having your own blisteringly efficient and friendly event guru, who is extremely responsive, leaves no detail to chance and manages a budget as if spending their own money.  Because of this philosophy, every member of the Snapdragon team has both a good grounding in business skills as well as extensive event management experience. </p>

<p>Founded by <a href="http://www.snapdragonparties.com/our-philosophy/meet-the-md" target="_blank"  >Julia Dowling</a>, Snapdragon has rapidly emerged as one of the elite party and event organisers, both in the UK and abroad. Julia honed her organisational skills while holding several senior international management positions within large companies &#8211; overseeing everything from the launch of a new car to global corporate events for BT.</p>

<p>Snapdragon is a <a href="http://www.snapdragonparties.com/amazing-events/private-parties" target="_blank"  >luxury party planner</a> and wedding planner. They listens to your brief, adds to your ideas, opens doors and takes away all the stress of organising an event.  With access to the most sought after venues and the best suppliers, the team guarantees that the result will be unique and spectacular. </p>

<p>Snapdragon also offers complete commercial transparency to clients, which is unusual in the events industry, where commission payments are common; a client can see exactly where their money is being spent at any stage of the planning process. Snapdragon is also happy to work with any supplier, offering total flexibility. &#39;Every client is different and every event should be unique,&#39; says Julia, &#39;so it&#39;s no use trying to reuse the same concepts and a limited  set of venues or suppliers. We offer a genuinely bespoke service.&#39;</p>

<p>&#39;Whether it&#39;s a wedding or a birthday party, we are effectively staging a live performance,&#39; says Julia, &#39;and a huge amount of planning goes into making those critical hours as magical as possible.&#39;</p>

<p>Julia and her team are experts at igniting an event&#39;s social chemistry and creating the right feel. &#39;Tradition can be lovely when applied in the right way, but following &#39;the rules&#39; blindly can result in a party being stiff, dull and predictable,&#39; explains Julia.  &#39;It&#39;s the personal touches that make an event really memorable. Handwritten notes from the host and hostess, or a song written about some favourite memories which the guests can all relate to &#8211; those are the sort of things that make an occasion.&#39;</p>

<p>Snapdragon promises to manage any luxury party so beautifully that there is nothing for the hosts to do but enjoy themselves as much as their guests and be the stars of the show.<br /> <br /><span style="font-style: italic">Julia is available for interview and is happy to supply tips and ideas on<br />weddings, parties, corporate events and all aspects of event management</span><br />For more information or images please contact Julia or Doug<br />on +44 (0) 20 7416 6664 or email <a href="&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;:douglas&#64;snapdragonparties.com">douglas&#64;snapdragonparties.com</a><br /></p><p>&mdash; WebWireID176017 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=FAS">Fashion / Appeal</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=PES">Personal Services</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=REA">Retail</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Fashion-Appeal/~4/Vwyxa5qTT8w" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Baby-G Mixes It Up With Joyrich on a New Collaboration</p>

<p>DOVER, NJ, &#8212; Casio Baby-G has struck fashion gold with its newest designer collaboration partner, L.A. street wear brand, Joyrich! Coupling Baby-G&#39;s fierce and fashionable aesthetic with Joyrich&#39;s notoriety as wearable art, this women&#39;s watch is poised to send wearers on a &#39;wild ride&#39; when the limited-edition model hits stores this July. </p>

<p>Joyrich, a label made famous for its own creative collaboration of Japanese street fashion mixed with the relaxed, carefree vibe of Los Angeles, lends a great vision and spirit to Baby-G&#39;s collaboration portfolio with the BG6900JR-4 model. With a leopard band paying homage to Joyrich&#39;s panache for prints, the matte beige resin bracelet and gold dusted dial pops against a warm sun-kissed tan &#8211; another West and East Coast staple for the summer season. The Joyrich logo is emblazoned on the dial as an invitation for fashionistas everywhere to have fun with their fashion choices and not be afraid to take risks... with their wrists! Whether to accent an ensemble saturated with vibrant color, pull together an already-animal printed look, or slowly work prints into a basic wardrobe, women can take a walk on the wild side without ending up in the jungle.</p>

<p>&#39;We&#39;re thrilled to team up with Baby-G on a watch that we know resonates so well with the hip, modern woman,&#39; said Designer and Creative Director of Joyrich David Melgar. &#39;Our fans have a great energy and totally uninhibited fashion sense &#8211; they like to play with their looks, spin their style and experiment. The Baby-G woman is likewise confident and fearless with her choices, which we love and know will also love this timepiece!&#39;</p>

<p>Setting off the untamed design details created by Joyrich, the watch features Baby-G&#39;s signature functionality and shock resistance, 200 meter water resistant structure, an EL backlight, 48-city world time, three multi-function alarms, 1/100th second stopwatch, countdown timer, and 12/24 hour formats. This timepiece has everything that the fashion-forward maven needs to stay on-trend and on-time.</p>

<p>&#39;We&#39;re so excited to find such a free-spirited partner in Joyrich,&#39; said Shigenori Itoh, Chairman &amp; CEO of Casio America. &#39;Our consumer bases are so aligned &#8211; each with women looking for twists on their typical fashion choices. It&#39;s also so refreshing to see two Japanese-born brands bring Tokyo trends home to the U.S; this will be a great addition to our timepiece portfolio!&#39;</p>

<p>The BG6900JR-4 model will be available exclusively at Joyrich&#39;s flagship store on Melrose in Los Angeles, CA and their online boutique <a href="http://www.joyrichstore.com" target="_blank">www.joyrichstore.com</a> during the month of June and at select Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and Macy&#39;s stores in July for an MSRP of $110.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.missguided.co.uk/dresses/party-dresses" target="_blank"  >Missguided</a> are about to strike the creative nail on the head yet again with another cut of their innovative summer advert. Focusing this time on the <a href="http://www.missguided.co.uk/clothing/category/swimwear" target="_blank"  >Missguided swimwear</a> line, the new video continues to maintain the standard set by its predecessor with its forward-thinking, on-trend and fashion-focused spin.</p>

<p>Shot in Ibiza alongside the brand&#39;s initial high summer advert, the swimwear edit combines a hillside villa, complete with infinity pool and panoramic views of the isle, with the wet &#39;n&#39; wild waterpark as sets for the shoot. It is here that the models replicate the fun and edgy attitude of the swimwear they&#39;re sporting whilst sliding down tubes, running through the shallows and plunging into the pool.</p>

<p>While the video only features a small range of the brand&#39;s widespread offerings, the swimwear stands out and showcases the brand&#39;s ability to captivate their audience with their clothing and visionary excellence.</p>

<p>The advert emphasises Missguided&#39;s position within the market and demonstrates how they are leaders as opposed to followers when it comes to creative concepts.  With photographic one-pieces, cut-out creations and killer caging, Missguided really do have it all from just &#163;14.99.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-style: italic">Leading wedding site reports findings from recent survey of engaged couples about the process of finding and buying engagement rings and wedding bands</span><br /> <br />Chevy Chase, MD &#8211; June 12, 2013 - WeddingWire&#174;, the nation&#39;s leading <a href="http://www.weddingwire.com/" target="_blank"  >wedding </a>technology company serving the $70 billion wedding industry, announced today the results of their 2013 Jewelry Survey.  The comprehensive survey, which asked more than 4,000 couples to share all the details of their ring shopping experience, delivered some exciting results about the behavior, preferences and research that goes into finding the right engagement ring and wedding bands.<br /> <br />According to the WeddingWire survey, the average cost of an engagement ring is $5,619 so understandably the engagement ring purchase is typically thoughtful and thoroughly researched. While some respondents had been searching for rings for years, the survey indicates that the majority of ring research begins 0-3 months before engagement.  Additionally, results show that both brides and their partners shared the task of researching, with the majority (59.6% of brides and 66% of partners) using the internet as their primary source of information.  Within the online space, the results show that retailer websites and wedding websites, such as WeddingWire.com, were the top online avenues couples chose for their research. <br /> <br />&#39;For WeddingWire, this data is essential in showing how important it is to provide comprehensive tools and resources for brides and their partners to use in the process of finding their engagement rings,&#39; said Sonny Ganguly, Chief Marketing Officer, WeddingWire.  &#39;This research further supports our goal of providing easy-to-access resources for engaged couples online and ways for jewelry professionals (both national and local) to showcase their products to our audience.&#39;<br /> <br />For the ring selection process, the survey results indicate that 42.3% of brides &#39;strongly influenced&#39; the ring decision; however, when it came to buying the ring, it was mostly the partner who made the purchase; 80% of rings were paid for by partners.  In terms of ring style, shape and cut, the findings were that 87.1% of brides prefer diamonds to other stones, and round diamonds were the most popular shape. Furthermore, more than 60% of those surveyed had stones greater in size than one carat.<br /> <br />While wedding planning and jewelry retailer websites were the top choice for researching rings, results show that the majority of respondents actually purchased their ring through a physical jewelry store, with national chains Kay Jewelers, Zales and Jared topping the list.  Additionally, 58.3% of engaged couples note that they buy their wedding bands from the same place as the engagement ring.<br /> <br />For more detailed findings from WeddingWire&#39;s 2013 Jewelry Survey, please visit <a href="http://wed.li/WWjewelry2013" target="_blank">http://wed.li/WWjewelry2013</a>.<br /> <br /><strong>About WeddingWire, Inc.</strong><br />WeddingWire&#174;, the nation&#39;s leading marketplace serving the $70 billion wedding industry, is the only online wedding planning resource designed to empower both engaged couples and wedding professionals.

     <title>Sales Development in May and the Second Quarter 2013</title>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In May 2013, H&amp;M Group total sales including VAT in local currencies increased by 9 percent compared <br />to the same month the previous year. Sales in comparable units were flat. Comparable units comprise the stores and the internet and catalogue sales countries that have been in operation for at least a financial year.</p>

<p>In the second quarter of 2013, i.e. during period 1 March to 31 May, sales including VAT increased by 5 percent in local currencies. Sales in comparable units decreased by 4 percent.</p>

<p>Sales including VAT in the second quarter converted into SEK amounted to SEK 36,923 m (36,947).<br />Sales excluding VAT amounted to SEK 31,635 m (31,658).</p>

<p>The difference of 5 percentage points between the sales development in the quarter in local currencies versus SEK is explained by substantial negative currency translation effects as a result of the continued strengthening of the Swedish krona against most sales countries&#39; currencies. To illustrate the impact of the currency translation effects on sales: the reported sales figure of SEK 36,923 m would have been approximately SEK 1.8 billion higher using the same currency rates as in Q2 2012.</p>

<p>The total number of stores amounted to 2,908 on 31 May 2013 versus 2,575 on 31 May 2012.</p>

<p>Percentage sales development for the month of June will be published on 15 July 2013.</p>

<p><br />--------<br />The information in this press release is that which H &amp; M Hennes &amp; Mauritz AB (publ) is required to disclose under Sweden&#39;s Securities Market Act. It was released for publication at 08.00 (CET) on 12 June 2013.</p>

<p>H &amp; M Hennes &amp; Mauritz AB (publ) was founded in Sweden in 1947 and is quoted on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. The company&#39;s business concept is to offer fashion and quality at the best price. In addition to H&amp;M, the Group includes the brands COS, Monki, Weekday, Cheap Monday, &amp; Other Stories as well as H&amp;M Home.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rio Tinto is delighted to reveal the release of a limited edition pink diamond ingot to commemorate the opening of the Argyle Underground Mine.</p>

<p>Unearthed and polished to perfection by Argyle Pink Diamonds, a selection of these pink gems have been meticulously hand set in a 1oz bed of pink gold crafted by The Perth Mint.</p>

<p>Argyle&#39;s pink diamonds were formed more than a billion years ago deep below the earth&#39;s surface under the ancient boab trees in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia. To symbolise their origin, the ingot depicts a boab tree embedded with six Argyle pink diamonds. Each ingot is individually numbered.</p>

<p>&#34;We are delighted to partner with The Perth Mint on the exclusive release of this distinctive investment piece. It is a beautiful symbol of the unique Argyle story and the recent milestone commencement of underground mining&#34; said Kim Truter, managing director of the Argyle Diamond Mine.</p>

<p>Valued at A$4,880, only 168 individually numbered Argyle Pink Diamond ingots will be released for sale worldwide.  Each ingot is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.<br />Order the Argyle Pink Diamond Ingot at The Perth Mint on toll free 1800 098 817 (Australia), +61 8 9421 7218 (International), or visit <a href="http://www.perthmint.com.au" target="_blank">www.perthmint.com.au</a>  </p>

<p>Purchasers can also source the ingot from authorised Argyle Pink Diamond ateliers provided on <a href="http://www.argylepinkdiamonds.com" target="_blank">www.argylepinkdiamonds.com</a></p>

<p>About Rio Tinto<br />Rio Tinto is a leading international mining group headquartered in the UK, combining Rio Tinto plc, a London and New York Stock Exchange listed company, and Rio Tinto Limited, which is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.</p>

<p>Rio Tinto&#39;s business is finding, mining, and processing mineral resources. Major products are aluminium, copper, diamonds, thermal and metallurgical coal, uranium, gold, industrial minerals (borax, titanium dioxide and salt) and iron ore. Activities span the world and are strongly represented in Australia and North America with significant businesses in Asia, Europe, Africa and South America.</p>

<p>About Argyle Pink Diamonds<br />Pink diamonds, produced at Rio Tinto&#39;s Argyle Mine in Western Australia, are highly coveted as the world&#39;s most sought after gems. The Argyle Diamond Mine produces more than 90 per cent of the world&#39;s pink diamonds, which are sold in a broad range of colours and sizes to an international customer base.</p>

<p>Pink diamonds&#39; value is directly related to their rarity.  The market for pink diamonds is quite separate to white diamonds, and due to their rarity, pink diamonds typically command prices far in excess of white diamonds.</p>

<p>The best diamonds are reserved for the annual Argyle Pink Diamonds Tender. Rio Tinto&#39;s Argyle Pink Diamonds business is located in Perth, Western Australia, alongside its cutting and polishing factory. <br />Website:  <a href="http://www.argylepinkdiamonds.com.au" target="_blank">www.argylepinkdiamonds.com.au</a><br /></p><p>&mdash; WebWireID175879 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=BUA">Business Announcements</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=FAS">Fashion / Appeal</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=MNG">Mining / Metals</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Fashion-Appeal/~4/iqVFMbU-ky0" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Spanish bag brand with shops in Beijing, Shenzhen, Tianjin and Xinjiang is now set to open more shop-in-shops in the Asian giant.</p>

<p>Abbacino&#39;s fresh and trendy Mediterranean style has met with a warm welcome in China. In 2011, the Spanish bag brand opened its first shop in the country in top mall Shenzhen City Square, in the city of Shenzhen. After opening in Beijing, Tianjin and Xinjiang, the brand continues to grow in the Chinese market. &#39;Growth prospects are excellent. In fact, we&#39;ve signed dozens of deals to open retail corners all over the country which will make their debut this year&#39;, explained Sebastià Vadell, managing director and co-founder of the Majorca-based brand.</p>

<p>To celebrate what Vadell has called Abbacino&#39;s &#39;societal debut&#39; in China, catwalk shows took place on 20 and 21 May at the TIT Creative Industry Zone in Canton. Eighteen models graced the catwalk sporting brand bags inspired by the depths of the Mediterranean, in the case of the Spring-Summer 2013 collection, and romantic 19th-century gardens for the Autumn-Winter 2013/14 designs. The audience applauded the bright colours, bold material combinations and quality finishes of the bags, many of them made by hand.</p>

<p>Abbacino originated in 1982, although the accessories brand itself, which balances style with practicality, was not created until 1997. Today, the family firm, run by brothers Sebastià and Toni Vadell operates in more than 15 markets, including the USA, Italy, France, Russia, Japan and China. With more than 1,500 sales points around the world, Abbacino is on sale at top stores like Coin (Italy), Anthropologie (USA), Passito-Fricker (Switzerland) and Görtz (Austria). The brand is a regular at tradeshows Mipel (Milan), Pure London and ILM (Offenbach).</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID175869 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=BUA">Business Announcements</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=FAS">Fashion / Appeal</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=LSS">Lifestyle / Society</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=TEX">Textiles</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Fashion-Appeal/~4/HZCgkRfgo4s" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Missguided launched its latest global high summer campaign using the hedonistic backdrop of Ibiza</strong>.<br />Shot on the sun-drenched Balearic island of Ibiza &#8211; an enviable backdrop for its hard-hitting exclusive summer collection, Missguided&#39;s latest summer campaign personifies exactly why the brand is going from strength to strength.<br />Shot over two days in the sun-spot known as &#39;The White Isle&#39;, the versed team of creative minds and models let their innovative juices flourish as they translated the ethos of the brand into the 30 second advert. Although the clothes are able to speak for themselves, the island of Ibiza elevates that voice, complimenting the rebellious girls&#39; attitude.<br />The initial day of the shoot was shot on location in one of the islands chicest villas. Nestled in the hills, the villa had the perfect spot for the panoramic views that served as a backdrop to the prominent models, effortlessly rocking their range of multi-coloured clothing. Shooting from sunrise until sunset, the shoot encapsulated the beauty of the island&#39;s scenery whilst not detracting from the focal point: Missguided&#39;s amazing collection. Canary yellow dresses against the cloudless blue sky, and black swimsuits and sunglasses stood out in the turquoise water as one of the models took a plunge to the underwater camera, both examples of the innovative shots.<br />Next, it was onto the water park. With swimsuits that put a modern twist on the classic shape and put a Missguided spin onto conventional print, the advert showcased yet more of the must-have range. Running through the shallows in heels, and sliding down the tubes in the stylish swimwear demonstrated how the attitudinal <a href="http://www.missguided.eu/" target="_blank"  >Missguided Ireland</a> girl steals the show. <br />Day 2 took place on the cliff face of EsVedra where, again, contrasts were brought into play. Atop the natural rocky road sat a vintage red Mustang, previously used for a campaign starring Kate Moss, and it was here that the models showcased the summer range. Multi-coloured smoke bombs injected colour into the otherwise neutral scenery, bringing out the vast palette offered by the garments.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Isabel Marant brings her French touch to H&amp;M</p>

<p>H&amp;M is proud to announce its autumn collaboration with Parisian designer Isabel Marant. With her effortless style, Isabel Marant has created a widely influential and successful take on Paris chic. Mixing urban attitude, boho elegance and rock &#39;n&#39; roll spirit, she delivers a genuine French allure. For H&amp;M, Isabel Marant will create a wardrobe of must-have pieces inspired by her signature style. Available from November 14, 2013, in around 250 stores worldwide and online, the collection features clothing and accessories for women and teenagers. Isabel will also, for the first time, create a collection for men.</p>

<p>&#39;I am flattered by this collaboration: H&amp;M works with the best designers and this invitation is an exciting honour. I aim at creating something real, that women want to wear in their everyday lives, with a certain carelessness, which I think is very Parisian: you dress up, but do not pay too much attention and still look sexy. The collection is infused with this kind of easiness and attitude. Everything can be mixed following one&#39;s own instincts: my take on fashion is all about personality&#34; says Isabel Marant.</p>

<p>&#39;We are excited to have Isabel Marant as a guest designer at H&amp;M. The way she mixes different elements in her collections, creating a style that is effortless and urban, makes her very contemporary. She has a fantastic eye for ethnic detail and the rare ability to create something that people really want to wear. We are sure the H&amp;M customers will be enthusiastic about this collection&#39; says Margareta van den Bosch, Creative Advisor at H&amp;M.</p>

<p>Born and raised in Paris, Isabel Marant started customising her own clothes while still at high school. A graduate of the famed Studio Berçot, Marant worked her way up the fashion system starting with a jewellery line, then adding knitwear, finally launching her eponymous collection in 1994. Today she runs an internationally successful fashion powerhouse with a string of boutiques worldwide. Her Parisian chic style, a mix of bohemia and masculine tailoring, grows in popularity season after season.</p>

     <title>LakeHouse Lifestyle Adds New Website for Online Store</title>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whitewater, WI - LakeHouse Lifestyle, LLC, the destination of choice for anyone looking for unique lake house decor, signs and knick knacks has launched a completely redesigned website. Their new online store now features intuitive and engaging shopping tools that allow shoppers to personalize any product with their favorite lake. It also stocks LakeHouse Lifestyle&#39;s complete product inventory, including handmade lake house signs, sweatshirts, <a href="http://www.LakeHouselifestyle.com" target="_blank"  >lake shirts</a>, pillows, one-of-a-kind lake house gifts and 3D lake maps<br />.<br />LakeHouse Lifestyle owner, Brian Cooney, was understandably excited in discussing the new website for his company. &#39;With the new site, we are adding additional products, some of them produced in our own shop.  The first site was very basic and offered a handful of items.  After about a year, and more items a more robust site was required.&#39;</p>

<p>In addition to gifts, apparel and knick-knacks, LakeHouse Lifestyle&#39;s new website also offers shoppers a stellar selection of bold, colorful canvas prints and lake art, including vintage signs that can be customized with a family name and any favorite lake house location. Their three dimensional lake maps are a huge hit with fellow &#39;riparians.&#39; These maps are laser-cut to precise specifications and provide a accurate three dimensional representation of any lake chosen by a LakeHouse Lifestyle customer.</p>

<p>The new website also gives LakeHouse Lifestyle the ability to add new products to their existing line of personalized gifts and home decor items, an opportunity they seized upon immediately. &#39;We noticed that lake oriented &#39;hostess gifts&#39; are quite popular during the summer lake season, especially as a thank you from friends and family having enjoyed a weekend at the lake.  We are adding these new products, which are affordably priced and rapidly shipped to ensure a timely thank you&#39;,&#39; noted Cooney.<br />    <br />LakeHouse Lifestyle&#39;s new website was designed and developed by NinthVector. They have been providing web development, ecommerce integration and online marketing services since 2004. The site they designed for LakeHouse Lifestyle makes it possible for the company to better service the needs of their many loyal, lake house loving clients by providing them with a full inventory of top quality, personalized products as well as fast and convenient online shopping services.<br /> <br />The people at LakeHouse Lifestyle know just how closely lakehouse owners are tied emotionally to these tranquil getaways because they too are devoted &#39;riparians,&#39; or those living close to a lake or river. Cooney&#39;s family purchased a lake house in Wisconsin when he was just 14 years old. The realtor who sold the Cooney family the house told them that the average duration of ownership of a lake home was seven years. &#39;My father replied, &#39;We&#39;ll be here much longer than that.&#39; That was 24 years ago and I now own the same house,&#39; says Cooney with a just a hint of irony and obvious satisfaction.<br />    <br />About LakeHouse Lifestyle<strong>: </strong>LakeHouse Lifestyle has been offering hand-crafted, American-made lake gifts and lake decor since 2008. They take great pride in the quality, construction and workmanship of all the products provided in their store. The owners of LakeHouse Lifestyle understand the love that lake house owners have for these retreats so their intent is to always strive to provide their guests with products that are not only fun and practical, but that will evoke memories of lazy summer days spent lakeside. As they always say, &#39;Life is better at the lake.&#39;</p>

     <title>Project Ibiza 2013 at Missguided Australia</title>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The latest high season campaign from Missguided highlights the reasons why the brand continues to strengthen its position within the fashion market. Shooting on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza, the campaign showcases the latest collection exclusive to Missguided.</p>

<p>The campaign exhibits the fashion forward and innovative range created by the brand for its most recent collection. The stylish numbers that feature include distressed denim shorts, sporty style tops with added shimmer for femininity, fluorescent dresses, luscious lace and matching tribal separates.</p>

<p>For the pool, swimsuits to make people salivate with their retro pick &#39;n mix guilty pleasures amongst other graphics serve as a focal point. Ambiguously nicknamed by the Missguided design team, &#39;The body-swim&#39;, these versatile pieces can be worn from pool to party.</p>

<p>Three different sets were employed to embody the campaign&#39;s edge. For the first, Missguided got their hands on a red Mustang, one that had previously been the back drop for a shoot with Kate Moss, and parked the iconic car on EsVedra where Missguided&#39;s three girls got to work. The white lace pieces contrasted the deep red of the mustang, whilst flower bombs made the fashion forward shots all the more aesthetically pleasing.  </p>

<p>The next spot was the island&#39;s waterpark where <a href="http://www.missguidedau.com/clothing/category/swimwear/bikinis" target="_blank"  >bikinis from Missguided Australia</a> were the centre of everyone&#39;s attention despite the array of colourful slides. While one model took a slide down one of the kamakazi tubes, the other maintained her cool while running through the shallows. That said, not much detracted from the eye-catching clothing.</p>

<p>The Missguided team then ventured toa luxurious villa nestled in the island&#39;s hills. The bold colours, tribal prints, and attitudinal models gave a stark contrast to the simple, clean back drop that the villa provided. Disco balls and the turquoise water of the infinity pool reflected the sun&#39;s beams by day, and the panoramic views gave air to the island&#39;s sunsets by night; perfect considering the models spent time taking the plunge to the underwater camera and shooting in the twilight.<br />This was Project Ibiza.  </p>
