Press Release Body: Pandora charms are now available at Ernest Jones.

The Pandora range at Ernest Jones offers affordable, fashionable and exciting jewellery for all tastes.

Pandora’s designers seek to inspire and be inspired by all women interested in creating their own style and telling their own unique story. Pandora believes that a piece of jewellery is a woman’s signature. As a result they have created a large selection of matching jewellery in both gold and silver, so women can match their mood and style, whether it is romantic and dreamy, casual jeans with a touch of elegance or an evening gown and high heels.

The new collection from Ernest Jones makes creating a Pandora charm bracelet or necklace easy. Customers simply choose which length and material they would like from a range of 14ct gold or silver chains with lengths of 19cm to 45cm, providing a variety of uses as either necklaces or bracelets. Once the chain is chosen Pandora also offer a wide range of clasps and safety chains to choose from.

Next customers choose the beads that they want. With a wide selection ranging from simple beads to skulls, brightly coloured charms, silver, gold, Swarovksi crystal, birthstones, a beautifully decorated cake for a child’s first birthday, a plump heart for a girlfriend or boyfriend, a suitcase for an exotic holiday, the Pandora charm and bead collection has something for every occasion.

Pandora jewellery was founded by Per and Winnie Enevoldsen in Copenhagen, Denmark. Starting out as a small jewellers shop, the couple travelled to Thailand to source their jewellery, and become so popular that they switched to wholesale supply and opened their own factory in Japan to maintain control over their designs. The designers Lone Frandsen and Lisbeth Larsen were hired and Pandora began focusing on creating the unique and fun range that is now sold all over the world and is this year’s must have fashion accessory.

Press Release Summary: Opening Doors for Women’s Self-Expression in the Workplace.

Press Release Body: San Clemente, CA November 18th 2008 - Finally there is a much-needed breath of fresh air in the design of womans scrubs and lab coats. Realizing that the style of this important and standard uniform has gone virtually unchanged for over 40 years, Physician Assistant Lara Manchik was inspired by the extraordinary women working in healthcare to fill this great need that has long been overlooked. Manchik along with former Vera Wang designer Adrienne Catrina are bringing a new look and utility updates that are helping women find a balance between looking fashionable and presenting the professional look that is necessary for the industry. The Medelita line ofclinician scrubs and lab coats are incorporating femininity and style in attractively tailored clinician wear that women will be excited to wear to work.

The challenge set out before Manchik and Catrina was to help women find a sense of self-expression and femininity in the scrubs and lab coats that are so much a part of their everyday lives. Yet allow them to fit in with the standards of a male dominated industry. Many of the new Medelita designs include first-time innovations for nursing scrubs and lab coats that not only bring some stylish twists to the classic design but will also make the lives of these medical professionals much easier.

The look is stylish yet professional. The design improvements made to the scrub tops include darting at the bust, tailored sleeves, and tapered waist and hips that give women modern lines and an attractive fit while keeping comfort in mind. The clinician pants feature a contoured rise and a subtle bootleg that gives them a slimming look. The attractive details and feminine colors, combine both fashion and utility while meeting the industry requirements. Medelita’s groundbreaking use of comfortable and technologically advanced fabrics resist spills and stains, and help women present a fresh and clean appearance.

These exciting new design improvements are going to change the way women look medical scrubs and lab coats, as women working in healthcare have been redefining their identity and femininity in the work place. This fresh take on a familiar style is going to give women the professional look tailored to the female figure that they have been craving. With Lara Manchik’s years of experience working in the ER, she knows women have been waiting for the practical innovations, modern style and flattering fit that will make life on the job easier and more comfortable.

They are the first makers of clinician scrubs and lab coatsto use the revolutionary moisture-transferring Dri-release® and bacteriostat FreshGuard® microblend technologies by Optimer. These help keep women feeling fresh and the fabric feeling clean with the demands of long hours and grueling shifts. Made from 100% brushed cotton, hand-sewn in the U.S.A., the ultra-soft Medelita lab coats use the Advanced Dual Action Teflon® fabric protector developed by DuPont®. It resists wrinkling, repels liquid spills, and their use of High IQ® Easycare Plus by Huntsman keeps your professional wear looking new and freshly pressed longer.

Press Release Summary: Boots has launched its Christmas TV advert featuring the Sugababes hit single Girls

Press Release Body: Boots’ Christmas TV advert from 2007 won an industry Gold Award in The Campaign Magazine Big Awards. The company has now launched this year’s seasonal advert, and it features the Sugababes’ hit single ‘Girls’.

In 2007 the Boots TV advert gave real insight into the lengthy preparations women make when getting ready for that all-important Christmas party. The music that accompanied it was ‘Here Come the Girls’ by Ernie K Doe, originally a hit in the 1970s.

This year, Boots‘ new Christmas advert celebrates the art of choosing great gifts for your colleagues this season. The advert shows Boots knows that women want to get it right, finding the perfect present at a price they can afford.

Boots has teamed up with the Sugababes, the UK’s biggest girl band, for this year’s campaign. The advert features the trio’s recent single ‘Girls’, which includes a sample of ‘Here Come the Girls’ by Ernie K Doe. The Sugababes feel-good single has been selling fast in selected Boots stores across the nation, and Bootshas matched the 10p donation to the White Ribbon Alliance for every copy it has rung through its tills.

The theme of the song reflects the feminine traits highlighted in the advert. Set in an office, viewers will see women making lists, lovingly wrapping presents, and even offering themselves up as gifts in a bid to ensure they give the perfect ‘Secret Santa’ present.

Throughout the commercial viewers are given hints of items that would make ideal Christmas gifts for friends, family and colleagues this year. From beauty products for a bushy-browed boss who receives the ‘No7 Eye and Brow Kit‘ to a colleague who has a soft spot for cuddly toys who receives the ‘In the Night Garden Soft Friends Gift Pack’, the message is there is something for everyone. With a huge range of Christmas gifts for 2008 under £5 and many presents part of a three for two mix ‘n’ match offer at Boots this season, ‘Secret Santa’ has never been so easy.

The office scene was shot over a period of five days in a disused office block. There were 400 women on the site and only 50 men, but everyone had a go at wrapping their own ‘Secret Santa’ present. In keeping with the theme of their advert, this year more than 2800 staff at Boots UK’s Nottingham and Feltham support offices will be attempting to break the world record for the largest number of people involved in a ‘Secret Santa’ on one day.

Press Release Summary: Sophisticated, femininely tailored healthcare lab coats get stain-fighting and wrinkle-resistant features from smart fabric technologies

Press Release Body: San Clemente, CA, November 18, 2008 — For the first time ever, healthcare industry lab coats get sophisticated, stain-fighting and wrinkle-resistant properties with the combination of DuPont Dual Action Teflon® fabric protector and HIGH IQ® Easycare fabric finish. Designed especially for a woman’s physique, Medelita’s all-cotton women’s lab coats repel and fight stains, while its machine washable fabric maintains a wrinkle-free, professional finish.

“Female healthcare practitioners have worked hard to get where they are in the medical industry, with women now constituting a majority in certain medical specialties,” says Medelita Founder Lara Manchik. “We believe that they deserve a woman’s lab coat that works just as hard as they do, and are extremely proud to be the first to design a flattering women’s lab coat that is also functional. You can’t see it or feel it, but the technology keeps our coats stain-free and sharp, right out of the dryer.

“In the medical field, image is as important as aptitude.”

As a female emergency room Physician Assistant, Manchik’s own experiences convinced her that the frumpy unisex garb of past failed to convey clinical competence and professionalism. To outfit her female colleagues with attire befitting their tireless efforts, clinician-turned-entrepreneur, Manchik created Medelita as a departure from the boxy doctor’s lab coats – made for the male figure and representative of a time when men dominated all clinical fields of medicine.

The Medelita lab coat is designed to repel fluids, which bead up and can be brushed off when spilled on the fabric, and require fewer cleanings than ordinary lab coats. Thanks to the Advanced Dual Action Teflon® fabric protector, the fabric releases deeper stains during a typical laundering cycle and does not require the expense of commercial cleaning services. Owners of the Medelita lab coat spend less time cleaning, reduce the use of environmental resources, and save money as they are not frequently replacing permanently stained coats.

“Just as athletes wear functional fabrics to enhance their performance during competition, the long days that our clients work are a true test of endurance,” says Manchik. “Moving freely and feeling comfortable all day in a lab coat, while maintaining a fresh, confident appearance, is very important to the conscientious modern female clinician.”

The Medelita lab coat relies on HIGH IQ® Easycare Plus high-tech fabric finish to maintain a clean and professional look, day after day. The high performance, low maintenance fabric emerges from the dryer without wrinkles and resists the destructive effects of cleaning cycles and everyday wear. In addition, the lab coat maintains its original shape, without sacrificing a soft and smooth-to-the-touch finish.

Made from high-denier, 100-percent brushed cotton, Medelita lab coats are designed specifically for women with a focus on fit and function. The tailored lab coat has a feminine shape with a rounded collar, hidden inside pocket, traditional side slits, and French finish inside seams. The fluid-resistant Medelita lab coat is available in sizes 0 to 20, with optional custom embroidery.

In addition to high quality lab coats, Medelita provides a line of performance women’s healthcare apparel, including clinician scrubs and nursing scrubs, which are available for purchase at www.medelita.com.


About Medelita
Medelita has one purpose: to reinvent the way women of all healthcare professions present themselves at work by offering the highest quality, best fitting, and most comfortable medical apparel available including womans scrubs and womans labcoats. Medelita caters to professional women who want their uniforms to embody the poise and confidence already displayed from within.

Press Release Summary: Quantum of Solace: The new 007 James Bond: Even if the producers have James Bond wear an Omega in the new Bond film, star Daniel Craig wears a Rolex Submariner in tribute to the legacy of Ian Fleming and Sean Connery.

Press Release Body: Rolex: Quantum of Solace’s new 007 James Bond, Daniel Craigchooses to wear a Rolex Submariner 6358, even to interviews for the new Bond film. When playing James Bond in the film, however, Daniel Craig wears an Omega. Now what exactly is going on here?

With Quantum of Solace predicted to rake in over $60 million dollars on opening weekend, the producers of the new James Bond may not be worrying about the maverick approach of the new 007, Daniel Craig. Then again, maybe they should be listening to the wisdom of their chosen star and honor a great legacy.

This article, by John Lavitt, can be viewed in its entirety at the MJ Rolex Watch Blog:
http://www.melrosejewelers.com/rolex-watch-blog/daniel-craig-wears-a-rolex-to-honor-the-legacy-of-james-bond/

Why is Daniel Craig a maverick? Although James Bond wears an Omega in the new films, Daniel Craig chooses to go against the grain of his producers and wears a classic Rolex Submariner 6358 to his interviews and in his personal life. Since Ian Fleming wrote in the original novels that his character James Bond wears a Rolex and Sean Connery always wore a Rolex Submariner 6358 in the early classic films, Daniel Craig pays tribute to these cultural icons by wearing a Rolex. At a recent GQ photo shoot, the entire wardrobe was styled for Daniel Craig, except for one key element: “Watch by Rolex, Craig’s own.”

An example of a Rolex Submariner that has historically been used in James Bond films can be seen here: http://www.melrosejewelers.com/info/submariner_ss_black_388.htm

Even if Omega named their new watch after James Bond and was willing to pay a bundle for the product placement, maybe the producers should respect the awareness shown by their star of the true legacy and history of their character. Throughout his time as 007, Sean Connery was equipped with the Rolex Submariner, which has just celebrated its 50th anniversary this year, and Ian Fleming clearly chose Rolex as the watch worn by his creation. “Daniel Craig likes to tell a story about his watch. It is a Rolex Submariner 6358, an exact replica of the one he remembers Sean Connery wearing in Goldfinger.” (Empire Magazine). Now is the time for the producers of James Bond to follow the lead of their star and honor the legacy of Ian Fleming and Sean Connery — Give 007 back his Rolex
