What Apparel Actually Say

Filed Under (Fashion, Shopping) by admin on 08-02-2010

Fraternities, by definition, are about brotherhood and all the emotions related to this. Blood brothers are related by a common parent or parent, growing up together, living together all with shared experiences. Frat brothers are related also by shared experiences, starting from pledging/neophyte rites. This is especially relevant to “batch” mates, neophytes that endured the pledging rites together and got accepted together.

These are experiences that are common to ALL members of the frat and since, by tradition, pledging is very similar batch to batch. This insures that the experiences are common regardless of batch and therefore ALL members’ experiences are relatively the same. This common experience gives each frat member a sense of belonging, of security, and of good times. Also membership allows frat members to wear their frat colors and insignias as a form of advertising their membership to a frat with all the pride and security it comes with. Thus, I believe that greek sweatshirts and other fraternity apparel perform this necessary function regardless of the actual fraternity.

Choosing the perfect dress

Filed Under (Fashion, General, Shopping) by admin on 09-01-2010

My daughter will  be taking her first communion next month, and thus, my husband and I were busy doing the necessary preparations for this special event.  We wanted everything to be perfect, from the food, decorations, and her communion dress.  We spent hours looking at a lot of communion dresses, before we finally saw the perfect dress for her, and of course, she also had to like the dress.

Looking at all those communion dresses, made me  remember the time when my daughter was asked to be a flower girl at my brother’s wedding.  The dress wasn’t the problem since all the flower girls will be wearing the same dress, however, my brother and sister-in-law didn’t know what dress to choose from all the flower girl dresses.  So, I had to choose the style and design of the flower girl dress they will use.  It took me a few weeks to finally select the perfect flower girl dress, but it was worth it.  I really believe that it takes time to choose the perfect dress for one of the most memorable occasions in our lives.

Great thing

My mom asked me to go shopping with her, and since I had nothing better to do, I did.  After hours and hours of window shopping, we finally ate at our favorite restaurant, when I accidentally knocked over my glass of iced tea; my jeans were so wet and sticky that my mom had to buy me a pair of new jeans.

The first shop we stopped at was Silver jeans, which is a Canadian company proven and tested to provide best value, best fit and best quality  jeans. Silver jeans had really chic designs for teenagers like me, whether original or red label fit.  After looking over at the items they have for sale, my mom and I decided to look at another store, 7 jeans.  The 7 jeans is a very popular brand of jeans because of Hollywood celebrities like Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, and Jennifer Garner using them. 7 jeans had signature styles like the classic A pocket and basic boot cut that are all-time best sellers, and they also offer unique styles to add variety to your jeans.  I just couldn’t decide what to buy, they were both terrific brands that my mom had to buy me one pair of jeans for each brand.   I guess spilling that iced tea turned out to be a great thing after all.

Away on Christmas

Filed Under (Fashion, General, Shopping) by admin on 21-11-2009

Ever since I took that flight to the US, it’s been two years since I last saw my family. It’s a little lonely when you’re away from your loved ones, but when you think about the financial assistance you’re able to provide them, I feel I sudden burst surge of energy to go on.  The loneliness really takes its toll during the Christmas season, but I’m so grateful about web cam and the internet, I get to see and talk to family face-to-face.

During the months of October and November, I start to collect items that I’ll be putting inside my Christmas package, like chocolates, canned good, house gadgets, and etc.  Anything that I think they might need back at home.  But today I’m heading to the mall to buy them their Christmas gifts, the perfect gifts for my parents are easy, cash. But I still put a little something in the package for them like Louis Vuitton replica wallet and timepiece.  I could only afford to buy replicas; they wouldn’t know that it’s not the real thing anyway.  I got my brothers Adidas shoes that I bought at a recent bazaar; they were cheaper than those Adidas shoes found in the mall, so I got them two pairs each.  I even threw in a few cheap NFL jerseys, for anyone that might want them.  After making sure that the package is full, I send them for home as soon as possible, to make it for Christmas.   Being away from your family on Christmas really is lonely, but its okay, next year I’ll make sure I’ll be personally handing out their presents to them.

The Best for Less

The best does not always have to be expensive.  For people who can’t afford to spend a lot on fashion accessories, there are a few substitutions you can make.  You can get a Rolex or an Omega in less the price than the genuine.  With replica watches, it’s like the original you wouldn’t know the difference.  For designer handbags like Gucci,  Chanel and Coach, there are also replica handbags available for you.  Complete with markings and engravings found in genuine designer products, it’s almost like the real thing. Made from quality material, you’ll get the same satisfaction as from the genuine ones.

During bad and cold weather, you can still be fashionable why keeping yourself warm and comfortable.  You can wear jackets or sweaters that are stylish and fashionable.  For your footwear, I highly recommend UGG boots.  They’re great for both sexes and all ages, made from the world’s finest sheepskin, quality leather and suede, they’re great for consumers who value luxury and comfort at less the price it’s the perfect combination of practicality and luxury, with its natural insulation properties coming from sheepskin it will keep your feet warm while staying in fashion at the same time.  The best quality fashion accessories doesn’t always have to be expensive.  These are not just cheap imitations but genuine replicas of the real product.  You can have the best replica watches and replica handbags for less and at a fraction of the cost.

Cool Chick

Filed Under (Fashion, General, Shopping) by admin on 20-11-2009

Back when I was a freshman in high school, I wasn’t popular or cool.  Boys hardly notice me at all.  I observed that boys are more into girls that make the time and effort to look great, like putting on  make-up and wearing fashionable clothes.  Which was exactly the opposite of me, I liked wearing baggy jeans, t-shirts and sneakers, and I was more into being practical and comfortable.  However, all of that changed when my cousin stayed with us for a week  and gave me the make-over I needed.

First in our agenda,  was shopping for a new set of wardrobe.  I wasn’t quite excited about that make-over at first, but with my parents giving me their credit card, who could resist.  At the mall we went to Abercrombie and Fitch and bought some new shirts that were a little on the flirtatious and energetic side, but not too daring.  Afterwards,  we went to True Religion jeans and bought some jeans, that were not too loose but not too tight either, the fitting was just right  to emphasize the little curves I had. Aside from the jeans, we bought a denim jacket that will keep me warm in cold weather but stylish as well.  And for the  last store, we went to Gucci, and when I saw the prices I almost wanted to walk right out, but my cousin said that every girl should have at least one Gucci shoes in their wardrobe.  After  a while I found the pair of  Gucci shoes I liked, something I could wear even at school.  The first day of school after my make-over  was a success, boys were paying more attention to me unlike before.  And for the  first time  in my high school life, I felt like a  cool chick.
