Discounted T Shirts

I know this really cool t-shirt site that holds T shirt design contests and I like the designs that they come up with. I like t shirts in general because they are casual, cool, and comfortable and they are such a great way to make a statement about your attitude! And you know what I like even more? T shirts on discount of course! So let us search for the ideal t shirt today: funny, cool, smart, and intelligent and most importantly AT A DISCOUNT!

Cigarette t shirtPrank place.com has a really funny collection of tees with this nice clearance section here. I loved this one that says, “Why don’t you stick that cigarette up your ass? It would be healthier for you“; rude but makes a point loud and clear! It is at an 80% discount and available to you for $6.99.

Bush t shirtJiggy.com is a really cool site for Tshirts, especially if you like to declare what band fan you are. They have t shirts for practically every band from Elvis to Aerosmith and then some. I liked their Aerosmith T shirt for $9.95 but what I liked more is this offensive George Bush T shirt (also on sale at $9.95) and this one that proclaims that a village in Texas has lost its idiot (this one is not on sale though).

Work for gas t shirtNow this site is called so cheap it hurts.com (but IMHO cheap never hurts) and I liked this one that says “Will work for gas”. Very appropriate seeing the prices at the pump these days and even more appropriate at just $6! Oh, and its green: even more appropriate!

Stressed out t shirtThis here is a good collection of discounted Tees from Giftapolis with gems such as this “Stressed Out” tee for just $3.95 which will basically warn people to stay out of your way! Then there is this one that says “I am such a bitch”; don’t know if that is a boast or a confession!

Now if you like really offensive Tees, take a look here; they offer 5 tees for $25! Sample this: “Men are inferior” and this one is actually a very accurate but satirical comment on the world as we know it: “Religion: The World’s first weapon of Mass Destruction

So, go out there and make a statement!

Fashion Industry: Who’s The Most Influential and Powerful

With the legendary YSL (Yves Saint Laurent) passing on to the great fashion runway in the sky, I got to thinking which are names that inspire awe in the world of fashion, who rules the roost and who is the most influential? That, and I finally saw the Devil Wears Prada so my interest in the fashion industry was piqued.

The Olsen TwinsWhile I could not find a definitive top ten list like the one Forbes compiles I found a pretty good compilation by Time here, which named Rose Marie Bravo, of Burberrys as number one among women in fashion, followed by Miucchia Prada and then Anna Vintour editor in chief of Vogue. The list also includes the Olsen twins whose line of ‘tween’ clothing marketed thru Walmart is a runaway success. The list also names Delphine Arnault, board member of Louis Vuitton and Donna Karan, whose label DKNY is one of the most visible and recognizable fashion names anywhere. [Read more →]

Summer-wear: Swimwear

If summer is here can beach outings and pool parties be far behind? And if you, like a lot of other people have been trying to get into shape for the summer, flaunt your newly toned body in some great swimwear available online.

There are a lot of online options and if you want to go in for discounted swimwear most online stores have a clearance section, which I usually make a beeline for, as is my wont. If, like Oprah, you are chary of showing off your midsection, skip the bikinis and take a look at the tankinis (tank top and bikini bottom) or the one piece maillot styles.

Green swimming costumeI found Swimmer’s Choice to have a good range of products, most of which I found to be quite reasonable. They deal in Speedo, TYR and Dolphin brands, and I am a bit of a Speedo loyalist I have to confess, with their smart, no frills designs. I liked this one piece at $28.95, they have a wide range of items for under $30. Their range of trunks for men and children are also reasonably priced. Their clearance section was empty.

Halter tankini swimwearIn style swimwear has an extensive clearance section with some nice varieties, some a little daring for me but I liked this halter tankini with a side tie bottom, which are sold separately ($57 for both).

Wanna Look Like a Celebrity?

Often think how much money celebrities spend on looking the way they do? The clothes they wear, the accessories that they carry, all cost a bomb! No wonder we can’t look the way they do! But do you really have to dress expensive to dress smart? I think with some wherewithal and a little investigating you can find places to buy that which looks like it could be a designer item, but isn’t! Call them knock-offs, copies, lookalikes, replicas or call them ‘inspired by’, whatever way you look at it, it is well worth checking out the possibilities.

Pleated dress Check out this very red-carpet-looking pleated neck tie dress for $29.99 or a smart little black dress for $49.99 at High Maintenance. I liked their inexpensive collection of tops as well. They have some nice distressed denim skirts, camouflage pants and capris too.

Red leather bagIf, like me you like handbags, then check out this site which stocksClutch bag ‘designer inspired’ handbags. I thought some of their leather handbags, like this one, were quite smart. Some of their clutches I found to be rather busy, but some like this one, were quite stylish.

Mother of Pearl watchIf you like bling, It’s Alot Alike is the place to go. I admit that I am not a bling person, but I really liked this mother of pearl cuff watch for $25. They have plenty of other items claiming to be inspired by designer bracelets, rings, necklaces and a lot of other stuff.

Red bagFashion heaven is a site that stocks ‘designer alternative’ bags, sunglasses and discount bridal accessories. They have some very neat bags in their clearance section, such as this red handbag.

Prom DressOh and just by the way, because proms (and obviously prom dresses because it is ALL about the dress) seem to be on a lot of minds, I thought I would also take a look to see what I could find. At shopshop.com, there is quite an extensive and reasonably priced selection. The prom dress shop has an extensive collection of designer and designer-like dresses. Fairy godmother has a selection, some of which I found to be a little risqué, even tarty.

So if you are planning to go shopping soon, I hope I have given you all some food for thought!
