T-shirts are an everyday fashion item that everyone likes to have whether as a casual outfit or an accompaniment to a formal outfit. The simplicity in their design makes them appealing and a must own for all.

For some reasons they have evolved from being just simple pieces of fabrics for covering the upper body to being a medium of communication, mostly because everyone wears one.

As a medium of communication, they bear textual and pictorial content that the wearer identifies with or wants to share with others. And if we are patient enough soon with the advancement of technology t-shirts may bear hidden messages and video content.

Most messages and graphics on t-shirts are intended to be funny, serious, guff, fathomless and artistic. Of course, except for those that are not.

Funny t-shirts are funky and nice for parties or when one wants to show their frolic and funny side. 80’s t-shirts on the other hand are nice when one wants to communicate something that they still value, reminisce or identify with from the old times. Themed tees on the other hand are perfect for themed parties and the like.

Be Hip is an online t-shirt boutique that offers expressive t-shirts with different themes such as costume, movie, political, musical and comical.

The best of anything sometimes comes in a serendipity like manner. Usually it takes a little curiosity. What message do you communicate with your t-shirt?

If you are busy and on the go all the time, or maybe you get caught off-guard by a dinner arrangement you planned last minute, sometimes that leaves you no time to change and get to your destination. Or maybe you know that you are wearing something classy and sophisticated for your dinner, but you are just not sure it will make that right impression. One of the best ways that you can really nail that first impression, or get the attention of the right person, though, is simple: pearls. Pearls have always been portrayed as one of the most elegant accessories to anyone’s jewelry collection, and when it comes to trying to look both beautiful and professional, pearls do that job perfectly.

After all, a simply brooch with a pearl, or maybe a small chain necklace with a pearl charm, can give you the impression of the classy businesswoman, but does not go overboard or make you seem tacky. Just like diamonds can completely turn any woman into the belle of the ball, the Hollywood glamour star, so can pearls. Pearls have always been a sign of classic beauty. From the flappers and young film stars from the 1940s to the 1960s fashion, you will always look good with pearls. Business attire often calls for a natural elegance. After all, you want to look collected and beautiful, but if you have a freer spirit, you can’t really show that as much in your clothing. With pearls, you can give that little touch that says “I know elegance when I see it” without overpowering and distracting people with your clothing. A few simple touches are typically going to be the best way to wear your jewelry for work.

So what to do once you have set the tone at work with a simple pearl charm or brooch? When you leave work and want to go out without having to change your entire ensemble, there are a few very simple and subtle ways to go from professional to glamorous. First of all, if you have the time to put your hair up into a tight up-do, a barrette in your hair with pearls can suddenly turn you into a starlet. After all, nothing quite says elegance as a long neck with pearls and a gorgeous hairstyle that gets your attention. If you’d like to add more, a pearl bracelet can also accent you in ways that can take someone’s breath away.

It seems surprising, but the fact is that if you dress professionally, more often than not you are already wearing a nice outfit that you can go out in. While we aren’t talking about going out dancing, the fact is that a nice business dress or slacks and a blouse can be turned into a star-studded outfit to wow anyone. All it takes are a few pearls and a quick look in the rear-view mirror to pull up your hair to look absolutely wonderful. And all with just a little help from some jewelry.

Rocket science holds a key to a whole new world out there, but only if the rocket scientists can propel rockets with right equipment and precision to the right places or spaces if you would prefer.

The young are wildly active to focus

the mature get restless impatiently

the old give up the fight too soon

a generation goes by, giving none
~
Unnatural, but driven by innate forces

it is without an definite goal; evolution

it is difficult to grasp leave alone describe

today this, tomorrow that, after tomorrow what?
~
Its second nature for those with a calling

an obsession when opportunities give

a necessity when mercury goes down

it melts like snow when spring gives
~
Its a race against the mind and soul

none being everywhere and nowhere

even on a given moment or space

without these, its non existent

Most people wear socks to school and work, others wear them during special occasions only. Of course except for those who do not.

They were perhaps invented to afford warmth but have now been ingeniously turned into fashionable pieces and perhaps a must have for women. They have been transformed into shapes, styles and materials never imagined before.

Ballet dancing, working out, doing yoga, jogging, name an activity and I will name a special sock for that activity. They’ve become an integral and irreplaceable part of fashion.

Sock theory, an online boutique based in New York wants to extend a hand and help every lady achieve that fashionable look they yearn for  irrespective of their simple and elegant tastes, sensitive or picky personalities.

In other words, their collection is bespoke and will fulfill that desire for a new or inspired look.

SockTheory offers an exquisite collection of different kinds of socks including knee highs, thigh highs, socks, tights, and stockings.

If you are a socks person, you are going to love these ones. If you are not, you’ll fall in love without even trying.

Happy Valentines.

Apprentice engineers hover doing last minute smooching

attentioned to detail, every spot and bump needs smoothing

an impatient tower control, always on time, now snoozing

the set is a makeshift, an aircraft carrier without a choosing

~

the runway runs away into the night marked in bright light

the first craft pulls out, thinned like a fighter jet, lit and light

it does multiple machs, outdoing sound, later maybe light

Houston we have no problem, runway clear, green light

~

the jet are more artful than air-ready, for the night, no take offs

this is an airshow on the ground, stripped down or taken off

some seem to bounce, like overweight butterflies unable to take off

or one that struggles to avoid a lift off from its flapping wings

~

The runway taxied more jets than an aircraft carrier lands

please don’t feed the models, please don’t fuel the jets lads

abhor, a shift in the throttle can almost be felt in the sound

However, neither a 747, nor an A380 has made a sound
