Get In The Know with #MSNKnowNow


Have you checked out MSN's new Get In The Know program

Well, I have and I'm loving what they are coming up with for the touch-friendly devices.  As bloggers, it's important to be connected, up-to-date, and have reliable technology on our side.  MSN is now catering to all of us smartphone and tablet users. And, MSN is boasting that it's now four times faster than others.  They are really trying to promote speed and quality content and I'm certainly impressed with their user interface!

The home screen keeps you connected with top stories, weather, Twitter, your email, Skype, Maps, and Facebook, and many topics such as news, sports, entertainment, healthy living, and more.

And don't forget the "Search with Bing" bar, in which I know quite a few people who definitely prefer Bing over the alternatives of Google, Yahoo!, AOL, and others.



But really what makes this #MSNKnowNow program great is really that it's listening to it's audience and making these touch-friendly decisions.  I love the tiles (and I don't normally like tiles, like with Windows 8).  MSN has been completely redone to work with any device, whether it be your regular ole' computer, your tablet if you're chilling poolside this summer, or if you're on the go on your phone.  The touch, swipe, and go feature is so quick and easy and, like I said before, it's just such a nice interface.  



If you desire speed, touch, and smart content,
click on over to the all new MSN.com on the device of your choosing
and tap, swipe, and stay in the know!

This post was created in partnership with MSN. Find out more about the all new MSN experience at allnew.msn.com or see it in action on Windows 8, Android, or on iOS at msn.com.

Cargo Pants and Heels

Shirt: who knows!
Necklace: Forever21
Bracelets on right hand: Velina Bracelets
Watch on left hand: Geneva
Cargo pants: thrifted from The Drake Closet
Heels: purchased from Famous Footwear

I was totally in the mood to dress up these thrifted pants with heels and a tee shirt.  Husband wasn't a big fan, but I wasn't wearing this outfit with him, he just took the picture.  Hey, I may or may not do it again, but personal style is always an experiment.  What are your thoughts: yay or nay? xo
