How to Spot an Authentic Aéropostale Shirt from a Fake One

 There are limitless number of online sellers selling Aéropostale shirts nowadays. I have listed down some comparison and observation I made on how to spot the real ones from not.

1. The “é” on the Aéropostale should have an accent over it. The scripted “t” on some designs should be short not extended.  The print does not look cheap either or something that can easily fade or threads almost coming out.

2. The cloth should be soft in texture and not rough.

3. The printed brand and other details on the neck side with the serial number that complements the rectangular patch found on the inside lower left part of the shirt.

4. If someone sells you an Aéropostale that is too cheap, then think twice and be more conscious. Overruns are not authentic; these are items which were not able to pass Quality Control Inspection, which is a MUST, especially when you are talking about branded items, which sell for much higher prices in the stores. I just hate it when some people claim overruns as authentic. Let's just put it this way, what would you feel if you have been buying authentic Burberry, Prada or Louis Vuitton and someone with an overrun said she got an authentic one too? Besides, you maybe paying half the price of the authentic one but the quality of the material used will end up you getting a new shirt sooner.

5. I am not sure on this one, but I buy Aéropostale items directly from the outlet store and  the brand tags indicate “Made in Guatemala” or “Made in Honduras".

World of Shoes

Literally speaking, a shoe is a commodity which takes care of the protection of our feet. Just as we wear dress to protect our body from harmful object as well as the environment, it is also very important to get ourselves equipped with shoes. Whenever we are at home, we can mange by staying bare foot. But once we got out of home, the road is not as polished or as clean as the floor of our home. Dust particles as well as many harmful objects can attack your feet. Also your feet can be needles with fine stone particles. Thus an individual should wear shoes.

Shoes can be of various types. In previous days we used to wear traditional shoes but today contemporary style is quite noticeable among the crowd. The types of shoes can also vary with regards to women wear, men’s wear as well as kids wear. It is just because, the types of shoes designed for men cannot be used by the females. The vice versa is applicable. Also the shoes can be categories into fashionable and simple. The fashionable as well as glittering shoes are made to wear on special occasions and party. But the simple and ethnic wears are design for daily use. Individuals who have to go out everyday have to be selective about their shoes.

Color Blocking 101

Hi Everyone! Color blocking is a great trend for Spring and Summer. I learned to color block using the color wheel. Prepare to add a burst of fun and bold daring colors into your wardrobe. But only if you know how to do the color blocking right! Alright ladies, so I’ve mentioned the terms “color blocking” and “color wheel”. Color blocking is a term that has been used in fashion means mixing and matching blocks of solid colors worn together and color wheel is a circle of colors arranged according to their chromatic relationship and used as a guide in mixing and color design decisions.
Before you can use a color wheel you must understand primary colors, hues, secondary colors, tertiary colors and complementary colors. First we have our primary colors: red, yellow and blue. These are the only three colors that cannot be made by mixing other colors. All other colors are hues of these three colors. The mixture of primary colors into various combinations creates secondary colors: green, purple and orange. If we keep mixing, our end result will be tertiary colors (orange-yellow, red-orange, violet-red, yellow-green & blue-green). There are also tints and shades: tints are mixed with white while shades are mixed with black.

Here are some color blocking techniques and some fantastic tips for how to make color blocked layouts quickly and easily!
1. Analogous colors- are three colors lined up on the color wheel (e.g. violet, violet-red & red).
2. Complementary colors- are directly opposite one another on the wheel (e.g. yellow & violet).
3. Colors that form right (90 degree) angles with each other- (i.e. yellow and red-orange; blue and violet-red; green and orange, etc.)
4. Colors that form a T- (i.e. blue, orange, and violet-red; yellow, violet, and red-orange; yellow, blue-green, and red-orange, etc.)
5. Colors that form an X - (i.e. blue, orange, violet-red, and yellow, violet, blue-green, and red-orange, etc.)
6. Color-families- You can substitute pink (tint) with red and still be able to pull off the combos based on the color wheel.
Since brown is a neutral, it will go with virtually any color on the color wheel. Of course white, black, and the hues of blue found in denim are also neutrals that go with just about anything. You can also use the color wheel when coming up with color combinations for your makeup. It can help you decide which makeup color to wear so that you don’t match your eyeshadow with your outfit.

So try it out, let me know how it worked out for you and send me some pics of you color blocking your life away!
