Menswear for Women

I'm going to try something new. Since I'm such a fan of menswear and I'm constantly on the hunt for menswear for myself. I thought; I would share. I don't mean menswear inspired for women. I mean menswear that's for women. So in keeping with the look of menswear but fits a women's body. The picture on the left is a picture of a man in an outfit I am currently liking and on the right are the clothes for women in the same style but made for women.

Polariod Z340 Instant Digital Camera

2012-03-09T16:05:00.000-08:00

Polariod's newest instant generation. This is the follow-up to Polariod's first instant digital camera, Pogo. Although, the Pogo was nice. It had some downfalls; including small pictures. The newest edition has that remedied; instead of 2x3, it's 3x4. No ink is required; just like the Pogo; the Z340 uses Zink paper which has the colors already embedded into the paper. It's a 14 megapixel digital camera with choice of borders or borderless. This would be great to have when you need prints right away; especially when you're in the fashion industry. So all you fashionista's, fashion insider's, or just people who love fashion; get a hold of this. I know; I will.

Super cute zipper/cellphone charms! So for all you comic book and fashion lovers out there; get them while they last! They're perfect on just about anything you could think of. So clip them on your bags, backpacks, hoodies, keys, or cellphones. A great gift for guys & gals. They just came out in October at an anime convention. They're blind assorted so might have to buy multiples if you have a certain character in mind. No big deal because they're cute and inexpensive.
