News Flash : A Burger and a T-Shirt

 By: Unknown    00:00  No comments

Over the past few years, fast food and fashion have been making an unlikely pairing. It all started when Moschino launched their McDonalds-inspired collection, the trend caught on in high street stores in a big way - with clothing items covered in pizzas, chips and burgers appearing everywhere and becoming sell out items. House of Holland even had nails created  and ASOS designed burger and fries plimsolls.

McDonald's, after all, is the actual original Moschino inspiration. They have decided to play their own fashion game and they started out in Paris at the iconic Colette store - they launched the specifically designed merchandise with pictorials resembling icons, like the ones used on tablets and apps (pic below). In Italy, they did something similar, they partnered up with the mega store Coin and even had skateboards designed.

Since you're on my blog and we're in Malta - yep you guessed it - they're launching the line for Malta, the style is similar, using the same images. There are a number of summer-related items - tote bags, towels, ball and racquets and my fave of the lot - t-shirts.

When this trend first made an appearance, I wasn't too sure I liked the idea of wearing fast-food but it did grow on me and there's an obvious humorous element to wearing a t-shirt with a bag of fries on it. I especially liek the idea of sunbathing on a burger towel on a sandy beach - that would be one interesting selfie opportunity.

So how do you get your hands on this stuff? Well their slogan is ‘Everybody is a Winner with McDonald’s’ from 19th June onwards and will involve a scratch card competition - so stay tuned.

Which T-Shirt would you want  ?- the ice cream / the burger or the fries? I think I want a burger.

Shopping : TSHIRTS 4 Men

 By: Unknown    00:00  No comments

There are some things in life that seem to attract one gender more than the other - like girls and shoes, boys and football, girls and soft toys and ........... boys and t-shirts. Girls wear t-shirts too, I'll give you that but guys..they jut seem to get attached to them. My hubby is a prime example,  he's always asking for new ones and he refuses to throw out the old ones, always finding some insane new reason as to why he's definitely going to be needing them soon.

To move back onto the fashion shopping course and the point to my t-shirts talk - a few months ago I styled some guys in KIABI and I found that Star Wars t-shirt that went down a storm. Since then, I've paid a bit more attention to the clothes in the boys' room, in particular the t-shirts, I can't go home empty handed can I ? Here's what I found this week, that's one brilliant selection of t-shirts for boys.

On another note I'm a late starter to the brilliance of Breaking Bad but I'm currently nearing the end, halfway through season 5, so you know I've got Walter White completely on the brain - you can just imagine my reaction to this t-shirt.......HEISENBERG is all I've got to say.

And a few more for the road...

Brand Spotlight : Let's get CURED

 By: Unknown    05:30  No comments

If you haven't yet stumbled across RECURED on facebook and other social media, you're not spending enough time there. What with photoshoots with the gorgeous girls from supernovamodel.com, a very interesting facebook page, and people taking photos wearing Agatha Barbara's face - it's fair to say there's been a bit of a splash in the newsfeed. I decided it's time to find out a bit more as to what it's all about

Recured...a lot of people are eager to know more about what Recured is all about, let's start with  Who are you, What do you do ? &&  Where do you come from && What's in the name?

Recured. is a brand established in Malta by a group of Maltese partners. The partners are young individua;s with big dreams and big plans who are currently juggling between studies and developing Recured.  From the very beginning, when we were still in the planning ad design phase, the concept of the brand has always revolved around being CURED. Initially, the brand was going to be called Irrecured, but we wanted to give it a more positive ring to it so it developed into RECURED with CURE as its variant and be the cure.

Who is the Recured man and who is the Recured woman?

Well this is a tough one. The Recured woman is without any doubt our neighborhood gal Agatha Barbara. The Recured Man is still in the works.

Are your pieces limited edition or exclusive in any way...what we want to know is - is there a chance of them running out ?

Each collection launched will have a limited edition piece that will be restocked for a period of time only, the rest of the pieces will be limited to the period of time the collection is launched for. For example, the summer collection will only be restocked for the duration of summer then making way for the new winter collection.

How do we get one?

Recured shall be made available through its Official Website launching on the 3^rd of July. For the more traditional shoppers, Recured shall be available for sale at the Riot outlet at The Plaza on the same Date.

Future plans and do you plan to launch more designs?

Definitely! The initial 5 products shall be supplemented frequently throughout the summer season so as to produce a vast summer 14’ collection. The designing team is already hard at work drawing up the Winter 14/15 collection - this is going to encompass a range from bomber jackets to sweatpants! Recured plans to go abroad, meetings with foreign international brands are currently underway, to launch the collections not only in Malta but even abroad.

The website launches on the 3rd July - so calendar the date and happy shopping :)

Trends Post : Slogan TSHIRTS

 By: Unknown    05:30  No comments

With the return of 90's fashion last year, the one thing that of course has made a HUGE comeback is the T-SHIRT...for those of you who were around in the 90's and remember t-shirts and how we just lived in them, you might also remember how for many of us our t-shirts needed to send some sort of message to society..either as to how cool and laid back we were, what alcoholics we were, what countries we've visited...the list goes on but you get the gist. Slogan tees as I like to call them are all the rage again but this time they're more about one word statements rather than inspirational messages......either way I still find them ...to echo the 90's word .. very frigging COOL .

One of the shops that seems to have seriously stocked up on different slogan t-shirts this season, is Jennyfer and I made it my mission to snap each and every one of them - my fave is the first one below :)

I also created this collage with some options from the online world - click on the items in the pic to go to the stores.

This post is a collaborative post between Caroline's Fashion Styling and JENNYFER Malta, ALL content represents my opinions and styling ideas.

One of the major trends this spring/summer is shock horror shock monochrome black and white....no surprises there ..it's been a trend for the past few seasons now... but before we sigh and feel unimpressed, remember that since this year is the year of slogans, boxy shapes, and the return of funky 90's styling ...there are a whole new number of ways to wear b&w.

On the Street...

And in the shops...one of this blog's sponsors Jennyfer has some interesting b&w offerings this season that really caught my eye last time I was in there...
