DIY prints

10.30.2012

How many of you out there have seen pop art tops such as this one and/or graphic saying tops such as this one and said to yourself, "I want it so badly I could just die. However if I spend that kind of money, my husband will kill me." OK, well I don't about you but that was my thought. So to find a happy medium, DIY!

I purchased 2 plain basic sweatshirts and iron-on printer transfer sheets for dirt cheap at Walmart.1. Find a picture of a logo you like, a graphic print, or even a picture of your dog Scruffy. Whatever floats your creative boat. Once you've found the perfect design, print on regular paper to test first as to not waste your iron-on transfer sheets. Once all is good, mirror image your design and print.2. Cut out your design to avoid having a paper like rectangle print on your top.3. Position your design face down on your garment and iron on.4. Voila! So simple, so quick, and the best part...so CHEAP! I can't wait to wear my trendy inexpensive tops and post some outfit pics.

My man's interview on Refinery29. How awesome is this!!

Andrew Vieira, senior product developer-line builder, men's footwear

What does your typical work day look like?

"My responsibility is men's product development. And our day to day role, myself and the team, is basically research and development. We want to know more about our customer. We want to know more about what's going on in the world and what affects our customer."

Where do you find inspiration?

"I've been doing this job for just over 10 years, and 10 years ago, it was just one way. It was very systematical. But a great thing about our customer — and I think the consumer in general today— is sources of inspiration come from everywhere. The web being a big part of our life, we see it in our customer. Today it can be pop culture, it can be musicians that are influencing our customer. It can be current events going on in the world. It could be peace and war. Just because events today can reach everyone so quickly, we feel our customer evolves so much faster today than ever before."

Ahhh, Friday! My second favourite F word. So many possibilities as to what can be my first. Well, that's for me to know and for you to never find out. *Cue the Dr Evil laugh*

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Anniversary !!!

10.25.2012

To my darling Andrew on our 4th year wedding anniversary,

To say that I love you doesn't even begin to explain my complete passion and admiration for you. When we got married 4 years ago, we didn't know what our lives had in store for us. But no matter what the future held, we knew that we were going to go through it together and it would be great.
