Summer Fashion 2012

With the London 2012 Olympics fast approaching, fashion for summer 2012 is set to be bright, sporty and brimming with eye-catching prints and colours. Here are just a few of the trends we can expect to see taking over the high street in the coming months. 

Make it sporty 

What better way to see in this year’s Olympic Games than with sporty leisurewear? This summer, we’ll be seeing plenty of bold block colours, clean lines and athletic motifs, including stripes. Be daring with bright colours, whether funky orange, crisp white, royal blue and bright green – and channel sporty chic with slouchy tunics and 80s-inspired off-the-shoulder tops. 

Big, bold prints 

Whether it’s animal prints, 60s-inspired floral motifs or classic paisley, the printed look is in this season. If you’re confident enough to pull it off, go the whole hog and mix and match your prints from top to bottom, in an animal print or floral-themed jumpsuit. Complete the look with a small clutch bag in a contrasting colour and platform or wedge heels. 

Hips don’t lie 

Whichever colour palette you choose, make sure that the emphasis is on the hips. Whether with Mad Men reminiscent pencil skirts or tailored, close-fitting jackets, this season’s silhouette is all about accentuating curves to create a classic feminine look. To capture this trend, go for tops with an A-line design, and on your lower half opt for figure-hugging high-waisted trousers or pleated, voluminous skirts. 

If you’re ready to hit the shops armed with this summer’s top fashion tips, why not apply for a credit card online for a hassle-free shopping experience? American Express offer a range of great value credit cards, which not only enable you to pay quickly and conveniently, but also allow you to take advantage of a host of membership benefits and rewards, ranging from cashback on purchases to access to the exclusive Preferred Seating programme.

Convenient and Cost Effective Conferencing

Working has never been easier and so convenient because of the innovations in communication. In the past meetings with people in different provinces and regions would take some days or a week just to be scheduled because they would have to book a flight before they can attend a meeting. It’s more expensive if you’ll be meeting with associate or partners living in other countries. 

Now with the use of audio and video conferencing meeting your clients, suppliers and associates is such an easy task to schedule. In my work our suppliers are coming from Israel and training are set and done usually through internet communications. Now they just go over it again personally when they come to visit the country but for the immediate needs for training and seminar they do it online. It’s easier, convenient and cost effective.

Custom Labels, Stickers and More

 

In everything that we do in our daily living we always get to see labels everywhere from our milk and cereals in the morning to our toiletries, groceries, water that we drink, clothes that we wear and things we used in school and offices. You can also see them in car stickers, parking permits, banners, logos, announcements and many other things that have labels on their products. Label is a kind of identification of products where it’s made and who manufactured it. There are also labels on the contents of the products or some kind of promo. 

It is used primarily to promote the products wherein it defines how attractive it may seem to be on the consumers when they see on supermarket or store shelves. It has many uses but whatever the label is, it should serve its purpose. I came upon Maverick Label Blog  where I learned their wide selection of the kinds of label they do.

IT-CEO External Hard Drive

I bought my 500GB seagate external hard drive last month and happy with finding a good deal in SM Cyberzone in Megamall in one of the stores there.  I decided to buy the non-glossy type for PhP3,400 instead of the glossy-finished same brand EHD amounting to PhP3,700.

But now I want to buy again because of the tempting deals I found at Ensogo.  They're giving IT-CEO 640 GB External Hard Drive for PhP2,799 instead of the original price PhP6,000.  Wow that's really a good buy at 54% savings.  I love collecting external hard drives because I can store all my pictures, music and videos without the fear of losing them in my laptop if something happens.

Well this one is made of aluminum alloy and ABS plastic available in black, silver and red.  It can withstand the hardest fall with its shock-proof characteristics, USB-powered.  Delivery is free nationwide.  Will think about it today.

Aid in Making Tasks Easier

My Mom will be celebrating her 80th birthday next month and we’re happy that she still feels and looks good. Her memory is still at its best and her health is good. She only has one thing that she complains and it’s about her joints as she’s suffering from arthritis. Even with that pain she still goes around the house continuously and does her chosen chores daily. She loves gardening and watering the plants so we let her do those as she told us that she can’t just sit, read and watch TV all the time.

Well I think it’s true for her as she feels more stronger when she’s moving around and doing some very light activities. We asked her if she would like to have medical step stools to make some of her moves easier. She’s now thinking about it and will give us the answer if she needs it or not. Anyway we can also use it for our home chores.

Home Repairs and Fixtures

I love to look at the new kitchen sink and tiles we have in our house. The whole kitchen is not yet finished as it needs repainting, installation of new switches and cabinet doors but I’m happy to see the changes. I’m looking at nice switchplates on sale online and I asked my brother-in-law who is doing all the works if could have some of those as it would look really nice on my new kitchen. Renovations and repairs are expensive but it gives me a good feeling when it’s done. I’ll have the kitchen walls painted in mint green color so the room would look cool and fresh. I love to cook and for me the place where I prepare my family’s food should also be the cleanest area in the house. I hope that I’ll have more budget for other areas in the house.

Our Very Reliable Projector

Our projector is old already but running in a very good condition until now. We used it in every Sunday and Wednesday service we have. If we have fellowship outside the church we also bring it even though it’s big and very delicate. Yes it’s so delicate that we need to put it in the box padded with support to ensure its safety from the church to wherever we may have fellowship. It’s really a big help to us especially when it’s praising time and when someone don’t know the lyrics it will serve as a guide. Sometimes we have to buy some screen accessories when some parts are missing and for our small number of stocks but basically it’s seldom that it fails serving us. Thanks God for that.

Jewellery Sale

There’s a forthcoming sale of pawned jewellery at the shopping area where we used to buy groceries and some house items. I’ve read some announcements about the sale and while I was trying to get a shot at the banner someone mistakenly thought there’s diamond earrings for women. Suddenly they want to see what it is but realized after an hour that it’s only a mistake and those jewelries will only be up for sale in the next few weeks. Maybe I’ll also take a look at the items so when the real shopping begins I’ll be able to buy immediately.
