As you can probably tell I shop online a lot, shopping online is extremely convenient for me and millions of others and if done correctly can save money.

The nature of an auction fits really well into buying products online, even if you are not looking for something less popular like a 4 person canoe, you can still find a bargain. There are many auction websites now popular; eBay, Yahoo Auctions, Online and uBid to name a few, just make sure the site is not a new and is a trusted one and be careful, there are some scammers out there, if it is too good to be true it probably is, and make sure you look at the rating of the seller before you buy, it’s in the best interest of online auction sites to make you feel safe and not get scammed, so learn how to rate a seller (it should be self evident with a star system or something similar).

A Fast and Easy Shopping Guide For Groomsmen Gifts

Let us face it- most guys hate shopping for gifts. We hunt every corner of every store hoping to bump into something that’s at least worth giving. Most of the time, we do not even know the items we are looking for. We just look and look hoping for something interesting to come our way. I can be tiring, it’s time-consuming, it’s stressful, and most of the time, we end up with something we aren’t excited about. There is a better way to shop, my friend. Here are some surefire ways to get the perfect groomsmen gifts without breaking a sweat.

Plan Early If Possible

Good planning almost always beats creativity. Start planning for your gifts at least 2 months before the wedding. By planning ahead, you give yourself more time to think, thus minimizing stress and the possibility of buying mediocre last-minute items. I have known many people who put off buying groomsmen gifts to the last minute. In the end, they decide not to give their best buds presents anymore because they are too preoccupied with bigger things. You do not want this to happen. Plan early if possible.

Set a Budget

Before you go crazy thinking for the perfect gift to give your buds, you have to know how much you are willing to spend for the gifts. Groomsmen gifts do not have to be expensive. The shopping equation is like this: if your gifts are less expensive, they require more creativity and effort; if your gifts are more expensive, chances are these items can stand on their own. So balance and check how much time, money, and creativity you are willing to put into these gifts.

Make a List

Make a list of all possible gifts that you can think of- this is brainstorming so just write them down. Consider your budget and your groomsman’s personality when choosing the gifts. For a present to be memorable, it should be something that you think your buds would love and not something that you think they should love. If you want some inspiration, you can search online for groomsmen gift ideas. You can also read some men’s magazines. They feature some really good stuff aside from the usual testosterone-filled ones you notice.

Shop Online

That’s right, you’re in the 21st century now- everything is at your fingertips. You do not have to go anywhere to buy your groomsmen gifts. All you need is internet access, a credit card, and laptop! You can even get your items the very next day. Fast, easy, and convenient shopping is just a click away. There are plenty of sites who specialize on groomsmen gifts. They offer good tips and affordable items which will surely bring smiles to you and your buds. There are even some sites who personalize items for you just to add brotherly love to your presents. If you prefer to shop in regular stores, you can still use online store …

Ladies Jeans – The Stylish Wear

Though it’s quite irritating and time consuming to find a perfect pair of ladies jeans, it is the time well spent when you find one finally. A perfect pair of jeans is the right clothing when you want to relax or just be casual at weekends. It is the perfect leisure wear.

While choosing a pair of jeans for you, your body’s shape is the most important guide. A jean that might look perfect on others, may not suit you at all. Here let’s read a style guide for ladies cloths.

These days, superlight ladies jeans are in vogue. As the name suggests, this is a very tight apparel and looks awesome on women with long and slender legs. However, these superlight jeans show your figure clearly; these apparel might not be perfect for women who are not comfortable on that. These apparels are also known as the pencil jeans. On the other hand, cuffed jeans deliver very relaxed and fit look. These jeans are perfect all occasions and suit almost every taste. Moreover, they are easily available. However, ladies with short legs should avoid these cuffed jeans as they make your look shorter and frumpy.

Straight cut jeans are the most basic type of jeans. In addition, these are the most popular jeans they never be outdated. These are type of classic jeans which seem most comfortable to most people. These types of jeans suit almost any kind of body shape except women with rectangular body shapes. Boot cut jeans are also popular among ladies. These apparel can be worn with any type of tops. These apparels look good on all kinds of women.

Wide-leg jeans are perfect for those who are looking for comfort over style. These jeans may not look that smart or sexy as super tight jeans, but are comfortable. You can pair it with tight fitted tops. In addition, your shoes or sandals should not be too bulky. Baggy style jeans are one more option if you are looking for ultimate comfort. When you feel regular jeans is not that comfortable, this will definitely suit your mood.

As buying ladies jeans is an expensive affair, you should buy one after checking well. Along with jeans, you should buy matching ladies T-shirts. Without matching tops, the look of the jeans won’t be complete.…

Fashion Reality Check!

Fashion For The Rest Of Us, The Style Bloodhound Is On It!

I’m not a big writer, nor do I claim to be. I love fashion and art, and have recently started writing about both. Just opinions mind you, nothing serious here. But it’s time for a fashion reality check…

I love fashion, style and shopping, and live for it honestly, but I have an issue that has been brewing in my mind forever and each year becomes even more apparent. It deepens as I begin reading my many September issues that have been pleasantly filling my mail box. (The September issues are the premier issues that set the tone and focus on the designer’s collections for the fall and winter season, and beyond, which is the most prominent in the fashion industry. Think “The September Issue” movie with Anna Wintour. I attended the premier in NYC, director’s cut presentation, and it was heaven.)

My issue is that as a normal person, so to speak with a normal salary, (or usually earning a normal salary), I get deeply frustrated how 90% of items show, worn and displayed in the mags are beyond expensive and unless you are filthy rich, you probably can’t buy them. Go on, admit it. I know you have been thinking the same thing if you read these as I do. I’ve been a fashion person for a very long time, usually work in high end retail and I get the designer quality, I get the romanticism of it all, and I get the allure of the high ticket am I really supposed to be able to afford a $1,340 Hermes cuff, or a $980 Calvin Klein knit top? And if I cannot, why do I feel alone in this, although I’m sure I’m NOT alone.

Most of the fashion bloggers, fashion people, and so on will nudge me to think this is normal, and I should be able to afford any and all of it. Why “don’t” I have a $3,300 Chanel bag? (Because I have a $240 Donna Karan bag.) I follow ALL of the trends and re-introduced classics from the runway and yes, I deeply want my favorite polka dot, black on black polka dot, pencil skirt from Marc Jacobs’s collection. It’s around $1,250. Yes, for a skirt. That is currently more than my rent. Don’t get me wrong, the quality is stunning; Marc Jacobs is the man, and soon to be designing for Dior, if rumor is correct. I get it, but really, $1250 for a skirt? One skirt? All of the pages on the magazines are typically like this, unattainable, even in Lucky Magazine. Great to see that but how about some alternatives that rock as well?

I do not come from money. I didn’t grow up with wealthy parents on the Upper East Side, I don’t have a rich boyfriend, or a husband who made it big in hedge funds. I work most of the time at normal …

Campaigning for a Sweat Free Olympics for London 2012

Can you feel the excitement building?

As London gears up to host the 2012 Olympics, we look here at the story behind the glitz and glamour of the occasion and of the increasing pressure some of the biggest sports brands are being put under to make sure these are a “sweat free Olympics”.

In the UK alone, sportswear sales in 2010 were estimated to be A�4.5 billion, with Nike and Adidas the global leaders and Pentland (the makers of Speedo), the largest UK-based brand.

These household names will have a high profile at London 2012 and their sales and profits are predicted to rise as the Games approach.

Yet these are the very brands, it is alleged, who are routinely breaking every rule in the book when it comes to the labour rights of their workers.

Labourers making sportswear still suffer from excessive working hours, unpleasant working conditions, poverty wages, temporary contracts and unstable employment and denial of union rights.

Campaigners are working to raise the bar on these rights. Brands working under the Olympic banner of fairness, equality and respect should be doing more to end slavery and exploitation in the sportswear industry.

As an example, the minimum monthly wage in Indonesia, where a lot of sports gear is manufactured, is A�67, yet a living wage sufficient to feed, clothe, shelter and educate a worker and his or her children is A�129 – roughly double the minimum wage.

In Indonesia, the minimum wage is rarely surpassed – leaving the garment workers struggling well below the poverty line.

And this is all happening right now, in 2012.

Surely this situation needs to change?

If these facts have prompted you to think again about this issue, you can take action today to call on brand leaders such as Adidas, Nike and Pentland to pay workers a living wage, respect union rights and ensure workers have job security, wherever that might be in the world.

You can register your views by simply visiting campaigning websites, such as Labour Behind the Label.

It is part of the campaign coalition formed around this issue and supports garment workers worldwide.

There is much more information available by searching the internet, including videos, latest news and discussions about this concerning and topical issue.

So, thank you for reading. Let`s work together to make these a “sweat free Olympics” that the whole of the UK can be proud of, with a guilt-free conscience.…
