rspcamillionpaws
What’s that noise? Can you hear it? It’s the sound of thousands of paws across the country, so it must be nearly time for the RSPCA Million Paws Walk! The RSPCA’s most popular event is happening Sunday 16 May, and 2010 is going to be the best one yet!

Every year, thousands of people and dogs nationwide walk for a cause and celebrate their love for animals by taking part in the RSPCA Million Paws Walk. From babies to seniors, Chihuahuas to Great Danes – it’s an event for everyone – two and four-legged.

“The RSPCA Million Paws Walk is always a great day out and this year there are over 70 locations across the country, with 22 of them in NSW,” said RSPCA NSW CEO Steve Coleman. “We look forward to meeting all our RSPCA Supporters and extend the invite to those without pets too. We must stress though that all dogs attending should have up-to-date vaccinations and be on lead.”

Registrations are now open and there’s lots of fun ways to get involved! Walk individually with your dog, or create a social or corporate team and pound the pavement as a group. Fundraise online and watch you or your team’s name dazzle in lights on the RSPCA Million Paws Walk Top 10 Leader board. For every $100 raised online, you’ll receive an entry into the draw to win a Hyundai i30CW SX Wagon valued at $24,000. The more funds raised online for the RSPCA, the more entries you’ll get into the draw!

Register online now and receive a discount, then gear up with official RSPCA Million Paws Walk merchandise including tees, caps and pet accessories.

And for all the cat people, we haven’t been forgotten. Million Purrs is on again this year, so all the cats can get involved as well.

Gifting iPhone Apps

iTunes has released a new feature which allows you to gift the purchase of an app. Love this idea!

Give it as a present, or maybe there is an app you’d love a friend to try..or you’d like to play against them. You can send the gift by email or print the gift for IRL giving.

It is how ever limited to only giving to those within your country, so you couldn’t buy from your Australian account and give to someone in the US for example…which is a bit of a shame.

Cool tool none the less.

Henry Roth’s guide to spec-tacular style

Henry Roth_1 Autumn style advice from Henry Roth, Specsavers Style Ambassador

Frames are fashion. Think of your frames as a fashion accessory – match them with your mood and personal style. You add a burst of colour to a neutral outfit, or transform your wardrobe from day to evening with a change of frames.

Specs 2010 to be seen. Spectacles are the must have fashion essential, worn not to blend onto your face, but more as a stand out look.

Accessories are fashion’s best friend for 2010. Accessories, including spectacles, are fantastic for when you need to spruce up your wardrobe for autumn, but can’t afford a complete overhaul.

Adventurous accessories. Be adventurous with your spectacle selection. Choose a classic pair for work and a more bold design for evenings and weekends.

Autumn 2010, mix it up. Don’t be afraid to mix silver and gold jewellery/accessories – this autumn’s all about style with attitude.

Sexy secretary is in. For girls, this autumn’s look is flirty, feminine with a touch of Euro sexy style. Pencil skirts, patterned leather belts and high pumps. Look for gold, bright pink and orange accessories, jewellery with bling and rimless spectacles with colourful arms.

Here comes Superman! For guys, this autumn sees the return of the classic nerd – Clark Kent style. Clean crisp shirts, tailored suits, preppy jackets and lace-up shoes, teamedupwith oversizedplasticblackordarkrimmedglassesandslickedbackhair to complete the look.

Avant-garde, fashion forward look. Opt for accessories that are bold and dramatic. For a night out, match your little black dress with bright and funky accessories like chandelier earrings, studded cuff bracelets or colourful frames.

To balance a prominent nose. If you have a long nose, look for glasses with a low set bridge to shorten it. For shorter noses, select a style with a high set bridge in line with the top of the frames.

To balance a square face. If you have a square face, choose oval frames as they’ll help soften your jaw line. If you have a round face, opt for angular or geometric frame styles.
