Critixsled Fashion Blog

I was just browsing through the internet as I usually do on a boring afternoon at work, while everything is at peace and just waiting for my boss to give me some new assignments, when I saw this web site that was showing some Carhartt jackets and I thought to myself, with a little adjustment and the right men to wear them, they could actually look good to a person and can even start a trend if anyone would actually care to work on it. The coveralls and work shoes that the web site have really look amazing and I would not mind wearing them in a normal day, without worrying that people might start looking at me in a different way. The coveralls that they are offering looked mighty fine while the work shoes don’t really look like work shoes as they were made like they are going to be shown in a fashion show. Anyway, since I didn’t have much time, and since I saw my boss already walking towards me, I stopped looking at them so I could start my work. But I must admit that I am interested in getting one of those jackets or even the coveralls and see what I could come up with if I do some mixing and matching of clothes. With the help of my sister, who by the way is a fashion designer, we could come up with beautiful clothes from those clothes that are usually considered as construction gears.

I went in some nightclubs in Devon last weekend to have fun with my friends and boy it was a nice one! Everything went great as we celebrated the birthday of one of my friends and it was really a blast because it was the first time that I experienced an all you can drink and eat nightclub celebration and my friend was the one who paid everything. One thing I noticed though is the apparels that people have worn that night. It was like stepping inside a runway show with all the people in there as the models because everyone shouts a different style and form.

It was fundamentally a spectacle of fashion as all sorts of looks from all sorts of standards were present in there, and I think every field of fashion was represented from tough, rugged look to the more elite and luxurious flavor, while our group consisted of the middle class and a bit of high class look because all of us came straight from work and were wearing our business and formal suits. Anyway, everything was really fine and we were able to have a great time. I guess on my birthday, I now know where to celebrate it.

There’s probably no one more conservative and more unadventurous than my friend ever… of all the years that we have been together as friends, I never saw her wear shorts or sleeveless top. It’s always jogging pants and big shirt for her whenever she’s at home and whenever going out, she always wear something loose, until last week when we had our Physical Education classes and we had to have swimming lessons. As usual, she was being prudish and conservative by bringing shorts and t-shirt to class. She didn’t realize that it was strictly swimsuit only policy but she didn’t have anything else. Until the bully of the class told her that he has some extra swimsuit from her girlfriend and he said he will lend them to her. It was supposed to be a prank because they were laughing at her when she hesitantly took the sexy string bikinis from the guy and went to the showers to change. Their plan backfired because instead of laughing at her for not being able to bring her own swimsuit, they had all their eyes dropping to the ground as my friend went out looking like a million bucks in the wet two-piece bikini that the bully lent her. She was even the best swimmer that made her even more attractive. She ended up from being a completely nameless to this very attractive girl that all the boys want.

I was looking in to some possibilities of using microsoft sharepoint hosting for the web site that I am about to create for a client since I was told by a fellow web designer that I should start making use of Sharepoint hosting so I won’t have to always rely on him doing some other stuff for me, resulting me to give him part of the payment that I get from my client, especially right now because my client is paying me a lot to me to build a very fashionable web site for their clothing line. My friend said that this is a premium hosted exchange that I really have to learn on using so I could finally be independent and maybe start my own company instead of just working for an employer. My friend is a freelancer from the company and he said I won’t be able to start my own if I am incomplete. So far, I only have the pictures and description of the contents that I need to put in to the site. I am still thinking of some good blending of colors and designs to match the elegance of the clothes that my client is selling. I just hope I could learn this fast so I could finally stand on my own, as my friend always tell me to do.

My sister is asking me if I could find her some African trade beads that she could use for the dress that she is currently designing. She is currently in a designer school and took up dress making as her major and she wants to make use of those trade beads for the dress that she is currently working on. I told her it would be easy, although I think it would also be costly in her part if she continues with making use of African trade beads since she’s asking me to find a certain design that is a little too expensive for her budget. She said she’s going to continue using it anyway because she likes the way those trade beads look and she is also planning to use the dress that she is making to the upcoming 80th birthday celebration of my grandfather by next month, which will be a formal affair. She said she wants our grandfather to see how well she makes dress now since our grandpa was a tailor back in his day. She said it was our grandfather who made her decide to go in to fashion and she wants to impress him by wearing something that she handcrafted herself.

I got to see Project Runway reruns and I remembered that the host, Heidi Klum is a German native, which was the reason why she kept on saying that word every time someone gets eliminated. It reminded me of the two major entertainment events that will be happening later this year. They are the V festival, which will be held on 22nd & 23rd of August and the reading festival from the 28th to the 30th of the same month. I checked for some information about V festival and reading festival tickets and I found out that seatwave will be handling the ticket sales and if I want to buy tickets for either of the two or both, I will need to get it from them. Last time I checked, Tickets go on sale in March of 2009 for the V festival, while for the Reading festival, I am not sure yet. I want to go to both events but I’m not sure if my budget could handle it. Although, maybe I could still do it since August is still six months away…

I was with my friend last weekend and we went to a certain fashion strip within the city, which quite frankly I have never been there my whole life. Anyway, I was just accompanying her because she wanted to buy an evening gown that she could wear for her father’s seventy sixth birthday celebration in two weeks time. We were looking through a lot of shops and boutiques, searching for that one dress that she can wear at the ball. We went from here to there and everywhere until she finally chose a long, black dress with a plunging neckline and a slit up to her knees. It had some nice lining at the side with some drapes at the back. Or at least that was how she described it. She immediately took the dress in to a fitting room, then stood in front of three large mirrors and that was all she wrote, or at least I thought it was… it turns out that the dress was a little expensive for her budget and the bad news was I couldn’t lend her money because we were going to an appliance shop next so I could buy a new TV for my living room. I told her, she could try to call her dad but she said she doesn’t want to borrow money from him since she will be using it for his birthday. I told her if she really is desperate, she could get payday one loans and they will give her cash advance in a matter of minutes. I guess you already know what happened next… I was able to buy myself a TV and she got her dress.

Just like fashion, there are rate collections that are so hard to find. It is not that easy because you can’t find things like civil war letters and other historic equipment. Antiques are good because of its desirability. An item that is old should have a quality and features that reflects that past. This is considered by the antique buys and other collectors. Many are looking for document signed papers to be sure that it is authenticated. This would also mean autographs of famous celebrities.

No matter what type the object needs to be rare. It reminds of designer collections which are actually thee type of things that you want to think. Creation of famous designers is authenticated by authorities. This is an important piece of collection. These dresses are considered to be fragile as well. It can also be kept for a long time like the wedding dress. There are different clothes that are considered to be a collector’s item because it is hard to fine. With the being said, aside from clothes there other things to be collected like books, documents, furniture and others. There are many places like this in the nearby area. Take this time to check new things.

We went to some Long Island Boutiques yesterday and I must say, it was a really good experience for me because my friends were able to tell me a lot of stuff about fashion and what are the do’s and don’ts when buying womens clothes, especially designer clothes. We went to a lot of shops there, most of them I don’t even know exist but they said those lines of clothing are really famous. There are even some in there that I don’t know how to pronounce and I can’t spell. We were walking from one shop to another looking for dress, bags, shoes, jewelry and all sorts of things, and even though those activities are mostly for women, I found out one great thing. The best thing that I learned with that experience is that boutiques are one of the best places to find beautiful dates. There were a lot of pretty ladies in there, most of them looking like supermodels while others really are supermodels and since there aren’t a lot of men around in those areas, there’s no competition and it’s easier to get a date. I never thought that my first trip to those kinds of shopping places would actually be one of my best as well.

I really like to design custom t-shirts online because it gives me freedom to choose whatever it is that I want to see in the clothes and I can freely use my imagination to come up with some unique designs of my own and let the world see how my mind works when given such freedom of controlling visuals and other stuff. Before, that was when I haven’t discovered this type of art just yet, I was fond of going to one of those spray paint shops to have my very own custom t-shirts made for me. It was actually fine because in there, I could also pretty much do the things that I like with the design of the shirt but due to the global crisis, the price of the finished product went up high like the clouds in the sky because they said the price of the paint that they were using also went up. Before, from the amount of 20 bucks per realistic looking shirts (portraits of real persons and 3D pictures), it went up to 25 to 30 bucks a piece, depending on the design and the difficulty of creating the picture being painted on the shirts. At least, with the online shirts that I am purchasing right now, I get to do the same thing with a lower price since their procedure of printing is different.
