Having been in the Industry for over a year now, it takes a really unique product to catch my eye. Mugs, journals, reusable totes and pens all have their place in the world, but most are not super exciting. I mean, a cinch pack is usually just a cinch pack, right? Yawn.
Now that summer 2012 is fully underway, it is time to think about clothing that you can wear on vacation. I am fully into the nautical trend this year, and love the look for men and women alike. One of my favorite nautical staples is the stripe. I think stripes are classically cool and can be flattering when styled right.
The mini stripe is a pattern that can be worn by just about anyone. Since the stripes are subtle, they will not enhance any flaws. So, you can be on trends wearing stripes, but in a tasteful and forgiving way. I love these new tees; they have the right amount of classic and edge. A one-color logo screen print would look great on these!
The Men’s mini stripe notch tee: Made of 100% ring spun cotton, this tee is so soft to the touch! Choose from 3 classic stripe combinations. Love the contrast tipping around the v-neck too!
I was a wee little one when neon clothing and accessories were all the rage in the 1980’s, but I still got on the trend bandwagon with OP (Ocean Pacific) jams and a paint-splattered tee. I though I was pretty cool, considering that my trendsetting Grandmother had the matching ensemble. The 90’s were not much better, giving us another regurgitation of neon, worn by ravers and club kids. Glow sticks, makeup, glitter and hair dye were doused with neon hues. It seemed the more the better.
Excessive perspiration in public is a no-no. Unless you are sweating to unlock a hidden memo on your workout t-shirt. Puzzled? Read on to find out more….
I like gadgets that make my life easier. With a 21-month old, I need all the help I can get! And if those novelties help the environment and reduce my impact on the world, that is definitely a bonus. Working in the promotional products industry, I have seen a lot of gimmicks, but this one really caught my eye.
Back in April the Take a Seat was one of my product picks.
This past weekend I actually road tested it! I took my sample to the Party in the Park festival in Atlanta. First of all, the foldable design fit easily in my tote bag-so carrying it was a breeze! Continue reading →
Long gone are the days in which women have to suffer through wearing a Men’s Promotional T-shirt. As we all know, the Promotional Products industry is a bit behind trend driven, retail fashion. But, we do have access to great t-shirts, made for women.
Men’s style t-shirts are not made for the female form. Can you remember the last time you received a promotional Men’s t-shirt? I do. I tried it on and it just looked plain awful! Let’s just say that the tee does not see the light of day. It has been banished to the bottom dresser drawer. Being in the industry, I thought about the purchaser of said t-shirt. I bet they would feel bad knowing that their t-shirt is not getting any play from me, therefore gaining no advertising for them. I wonder if they would have purchased the same shirt if they were educated on fit and style and, most importantly, what the end user would actually wear.

I have found the ultimate apparel choice for the weekend…. a reversible sweatshirt! I love to couch surf on the weekends; this is the prefect gear for my sport.
This smart style features an 80/20-cotton/polyester blend with kangaroo pockets and a secure “secret” pocket to keep valuables safe. You can choose to embroider it for a classic look or silkscreen for a trendier touch. This garment has 4 customizable sides to decorate! The reversible sweatshirt comes in hooded and zipped, hooded pullover and basic crewneck styles. Wear your reversible sweatshirt running, power walking or just running errands.
Perfect for team warm-ups, universities, clubs, sororities/fraternities etc. I also think the reversible sweatshirt would be prefect for traveling and easy to pack, who would not like two looks with one piece of clothing! Why can’t all of our clothing be reversible? Just kidding.
