Will You Design Your Own T-shirt?

Yes, is men t-shirt again! If you are fed up of buying a T-shirt which it seems that every other person you see is wearing, good news is that clearly shows you have bought a fashionable one. However if you want to stand out from the crowd and perhaps make a fashion statement then perhaps you should consider designing your own T-shirt.

You’ve probably seen outlets that allow you to do just this when you have been on holiday, but for one reason or another you didn’t find the time to venture into the shop. Now you can create your own design and have it incorporated into a T-shirt for you online.



Some sites have design templates which you can start off with, you choose a T-shirt from one of their designs and customize a template. You can use clipart or you can have a design copied for you from a photograph. You need to think about how many colors your design will need, (4 are usual but less is cheaper) which colors you want and the style of T-shirt. You can get T-shirts made to your design for under $20, but again it depends on your choice of design.

You can also get iron-on designs, but these will probably not last as long as designs that are printed on the fabric. Some sites online offer you next day delivery and allow you to draw your own design online or to upload photographs or to use templates and describe what you want. You don’t have to be an artist to design your own T-shirt .

It’s not just T-shirts that you can have your own designs printed on either, hoodies are popular as well as jeans and numerous other accessories. You can start with free clipart designs and add your own comment, and choose the font you want on your T-shirt.



You can say whatever your want on your T-shirt as the design companies do not censor comments. You can be cute, cheeky, flirty or downright obnoxious; whatever best goes with your character, or your mood.



So what are you waiting for? Go online and design the T-shirt you have always wanted, but never been able to find in the shops.

Buy Jewellery for your Love One at Bargain Price?

There are many online sites which sell designer jewellery to the individual customer and to retailers. You can shop on online sites that advertise themselves as wholesale designer jewellery suppliers, even though you may not want to buy a lot of wholesale jewellery. You can always check out reputable sites and look for the type of designer jewellery that you like; there are sites which specialize in Italian glass jewellery, or Austrian crystal, those that specialize in Tiffany or designer jewellery and those that sell antique-style jewellery with stones such as marquisite featuring in the items to give them the Victorian look.

If you have a retail site or a traditional shop or stall in a market, then this is a very cheap way of buying stock. Alternatively you might just want to buy items for yourself and friends and family, and sites allow you to do this, although you should remember that the more you buy, the cheaper it will be.



Some sites sell jewellery from Thailand and China and these are probably the cheapest online sites. However you can get gold and diamond jewellery items including anklets, toe rings, body jewellery for piercings, whatever you want is out there. All you have to do is go through the online catalogues and put items in your shopping basket or cart.

When you get to the checkout your purchases will be calculated and you will be asked for contact details and your preferred payment method. You can choose to pay through PayPal or any other online method or take advantage of drop shipping services.



Drop shipping is a way of protecting your payment; you deposit money in a third party account and this is released when you receive your goods. You should consider which way you would like to pay and only give out your details on sites which are secure. This is shown in the bottom right hand corner, usually and the symbol to look for is the lock.

Shopping online is now more secure than it used to be so you can be fairly comfortable about not being ripped off. Take a look at some of the sites that offer wholesale jewellery and pick up some real bargains.

Man Fashion: 5 Simple Ways to Choose the Right T-Shirts

It’s mens fashion T-shirt time again, but before you dash out and buy any of mens fashion T-shits, consider what to look for in choosing them. They are very versatile and durable if you choose wisely, and it is better to pay a little more so that the T-shirts you buy will last the whole season at least.

1. First of all, check that the color suits you, or if you are buying for a man, then think about the colors that suit him rather than the ones you like. If he has auburn hair, he might not look good in a flame red T-shirt, for example. 


2. You should also consider the color from the point of view of its color fast properties. Do a small test by wetting a finger and rubbing it on the T-shirt. If the color comes off onto your finger, it will lose its color rapidly and will always have to be washed separately by hand. If it accidentally gets into the washing machine then you will have a minor disaster on your hands. You could not test this if you buy from online store, but you can rely on reputable brands.


3. Buy colors that reflect the heat rather than those which absorb it, so white is a good choice and pastel shades, beige or pistachio green, not black or dark blue. You don’t want to be any hotter than is necessary. 


4. Check the stitching to see how firm it is. If it looks flimsy, then you will have a repair job to do after wearing and washing the T-shirt a couple of times. 


5. Last and most importantly, is to try it on and raise your arms above your head.

If the T-shirt rides up and leaves a vast expanse of flesh between it and the belt- line, then you need a bigger size. If you have swathes of material bunched around your waist, when you do this, then clearly it’s too big, unless you want a really baggy mens fashion T-shirt.

Of course there are always rugby shirts and tank-tops for men, although the former is usually made from thicker cotton than the T-shirt, and the tank-top doesn’t suit everyone, and it doesn’t protect the vulnerable skin at the top of your arms and shoulders. Mens fashion T-shirts are the better bet as they don’t go out of fashion and are easy to wear.

Let me just fix my hair

Why? It's perfect! 

Loving the chunky scarf and oversized blazer over a cardigan. Did you guys see the other photos of her here?

Round Gold and White Sunglasses

You see what I meant about the sunglasses, and instant cool? 

Photos of Rue Montorgueil

My neighborhood is the best place to live in Paris, Quatier Montorgueil is so full of many little surprises that I'm too "busy" to notice.  

Protect Your Neck

Fur neck collars kind of creep me out. But this guy had one that was a shield from the windy and cold Parisian day.  It looked like it still belonged on an animal it looked so real.  

Sunglasses makes you look instantly cool

Doesn't it? If Sometimes all you need to do to look glamourous is put some shades on and put on a smile.  Cat eye sunglasses seem to making a comeback - my friend twetted me one she found on E-Bay, which is in my opinion the best place to find vintage sunglasses at bargin prices.

For more high end design Cutler and Gross has a gamut of selection that will not leave you dissatisfied. 

Trend Alert: Leopard Coat + Bright Color Clutch

There is no denying that this year is the year of color. Bright green is the new black. Take a note from these stylish ladies during Paris Fashion Week. The eponymous Celine clutch was everywhere, in bright orange, bright blue and here in bright green. 

This oversized red clutch is from Zara, and it is so pretty, sexily held on a gold chain strap. 

Clutch handbags are both practical and fashionable.

The Oversized Denim Jumpsuit + Chunky Cardigan

How is it that some women can look so effortlessly cool in nothing but jeans? Here's to all the lovely people who's confidence exudes through the casual comfort of denim and some killer shades.

The Cambridge Satchel Company

These rectangular leather satchels look like the perfect companion for a stack of papers for the office or your laptop. They were everywhere during Paris Fashion Week, so many photographers had one. Here we have a black one, but I hope to post some different colors over the next couple of days from the Cambridge Satchel Company. 

The Gold Fringe Coat

Rue Royale is used to seeing it's share of bling bling being so close to Rue St.Honore where the high end luxury boutiques lineup.  This woman had no reservation about bringing the brilliance in an all black look with a bright Moschino Gold peccary leather fringe coat. A quick photo snapped on the fly. 

Miss Pandora's Hair bow

The gold headband that stole the show, as seen on Miss Pandora during Paris Fashion Week. In the height of the big color trend come-back. Outside Théâtre du Gymnase Marie Bell, 38 boulevard Bonne Nouvelle, 75010 Paris.
