PostHeaderIcon A practical and smart thing to do

I have relatives that live and work at other countries, and during the Holidays, they send us a variety of gifts, like designer bags, shoes, perfumes, bath and body products, and watches.  We always thought back then that they might be spending a fortune on our gifts, and most of the time we feel guilty about it.

It was only recently that they told us how they manage to buy these great gifts for us.  The designer bags and shoes, like Gucci and Christian Louboutin, and sports shoes like Adidas shoes were bought on sales and at bazaars, and the luxury watches like Rolex and Breitling, were only replicas of the real item.  The Breitling replica watch I got last year, was so like the original, that none of my friends could tell it was only a replica.  It had the markings and carvings like the original Breitling watch.   Our relatives said that buying expensive items is not very practical and smart thing to do, since you can buy the same items at a cheaper price.

Cloth is basically composed of a fibrous substance like wool or cotton. The individual strands of wool or cotton is short and physical weak. This is readily apparent with the weak force needed to pull a wad of medical cotton out of the pack. Cloth gets its strength from the spinning of the fibers into a thread. The individual strands pull on each other and lends resistance to a pulling force. Further strength is given by weaving it into the actual cloth.

Advances in technology allow for synthetics, like Nylon, to be woven into cloth. This allows superior strength, light weight, sweat management and even luster to cloth. These features are readily apparent with sports wear like NFL jerseys. However, some traditional sports wear, like polo shirts from Lacoste, are still woven with cotton as majority with some additives. Other advanced textiles, like Lycra, provide a stretching component to the cloth, specially in swim wear and stretch pants produced by manufacturers like Ed Hardy.

PostHeaderIcon My Personal Shopping experience

When I was planning to travel to a class reunion last November, I almost panicked at the sheer volume of errands I had to do.  I had to get the necessary legal documentation, have my vaccinations done, and of course to do my wardrobe planning.  It was for a class reunion and I was not going to get caught with a less than complete wardrobe.  Legal and medical stuff I had to do personally but shopping I did by Internet, allowing me to check what was good, and fitting, and best of all, affordable for me.  After all, I had to pay the plane fare and accommodations.

The reunion involved doing several things at different events so after checking my wardrobe; I knew I needed to buy new boots and bags for a winter trek, an additional denim outfit, and a nifty new bag.  After perusing the internet, I chose True Religion jeans.  It had the style I wanted; flattering the slightly expanded figure I had from high school.  For my winter-related accessories, I chose from UGG boots, and the warmth of the wonderfully fur-lined boots is one reason.  I am not used to cold weather and I wanted to be comfortable.  As for that extra bag, I chose a well-done replica of Louis Vuitton that would be perfect for the rest of my travelling wardrobe.  It was a fruitful internet shopping time, and I would encourage anyone pressed for time to do as I did.
