I Heart Teespring

Crowdfunding + FAB Custom Apparel = Teespring.com 

Recently, I discovered a really helpful and rather brilliant site – Teespring.com. It is a crowdfunding site where people can register, design and sell custom tees and apparel. Now, isn’t that brilliant? 


Who can use Teespring? 

Teespring is open to anyone. If you are in a group or a community that will need some custom apparel then you should definitely visit the site. For causes who need custom tees for their events and special gatherings then they surely need Teespring.com. If you own a non-profit organization who wants to build awareness by creating custom-designed shirts then Teespring couldn’t be more perfect for you. If you have a great design idea for a T-shirt and want to get started but no means to do so, Teespring is your solution. There was this couple who used Teespring and created Tshirts with a simple yet touching message, “Love Makes a Family” – they needed to raise money so they can adopt. That was just so lovely. So you see, this platform can be used as a fundraising tool – OR if you just want to earn extra money. Really, anyone can use this awesome crowdfunding site! 

Do I need to pay anything upfront to use Teespring? 

No, not at all. Since it’s crowdfunded, people who wishes to use the site will not have to worry about paying anything upfront. We all know that anything that includes design and manufacturing will cost something upfront. With Teepsring.com, you don’t have to worry about that at all. In fact, you – as the seller – control almost everything here. 

- You can design your own tshirts. When you decide to create your tee, you have the ability to design it by adding text (they have lots of really good fonts to use) to your shirt. If you’ve created the design yourself, you can also upload it there. Aside from that, they also offer their art library where you can browse items to add as a design to your shirt. It’s so easy to use. If you want to try designing your own shirt on Teespring, visit http://teespring.com/design. I did! Take a look! 





- You decide when the shirts will be printed and shipped. Yes, that’s right! Teespring will not print and ship the shirts until the set end date determined by you – the seller. So no hassle at all, right? 

- You set the price of the apparel and profits are yours. That’s just so wonderful, right? 

- You can easily share your campaign to social networking sites, emails and pretty much anywhere online. 

 To know more about Teespring and how it works, don’t hesitate to visit their website - http://teespring.com/. You may also connect with them via Twitter and Facebook.

I, Queen of Hearts

Hello. My name is Ara and I am addicted to girly things. Oh, and fine jewelry.  

So this is the part where you say, “Hi Ara”... :)

Being a fashion blogger gives me an excuse to explore my love for both (among other things). So when I received some fabulous items from Bellast.com, I was ecstatic. Like, seriously. Bellast is an online shop where you can buy fashionable accessories (mostly jewelries) at affordable prices. From research, they are also known to offer high quality products.

So, let’s take a look at my precious jewelries from Bellast.com. 



That’s the Dangling Couple Heart Pendant with Chain Necklace (18” 925 Sterling Silver Plated). I so love this... you know why? Remember the similar necklace from Legally Blonde? The heart necklace that Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) wore during the first part of the movie. It was love at first sight. And now, I am so happy that I have one similar to that. 



Take a look at the Heart Drop Earrings. When I saw this, I was like “Heart. Purple. LOVE.”. It looks good on me, too! 



Here’s the Double Heart Shrimp Buckle Bracelet. It goes really well with my necklace up there, right? 



Two words for you. Cuff. Ring. I LOVE IT! :D That right there is the Multi-Heart Band Cuff Ring. You know why it’s so awesome? It’s adjustable. Yes, you read that right. 



Lastly, there's the Heart-Heart Band Ring. It is soooo cute! Just take a look at that.

This is me wearing these FAB jewelries. :D




And here’s the full set of jewelries I received from Bellast.com.


By the way, if you would like to win a beautiful jewelry from Bellast.com, please enter this giveaway now. Thank you. :)

So, I, Queen of Hearts, am hoping that you enjoyed this post. Which item do you like best? Please let me know in the comments below. :D

Shopping for Bad or Good and an Owl

Do you love window shopping? Well, most of the time, I do that. I love to browse. I do this because I want to be updated with the latest trends out there. I like to know what's going on in the fashion world. Anyhow, I love it the most when window shopping turns into just shopping.

This time, I wasn't looking for anything in particular. I usually like to explore first. And my exploring landed me to Terranova.

Terranova is a clothing brand that is known for its "easy to wear" products. And I most certainly agree. If you've seen what they can offer, you'll find a lot of choices that will surely make you feel "free".

Anyway, I checked out a lot of their shirts but when I found this one, I really didn't think twice. I went to their dressing room to try it on and when I found my size, went to the cashier to pay. Easy peasy. Haha. Take a look :)



"Bad or Good"


As you can see, this one is designed to be "laid-back". Breezy. Round neckline.


"Bad or Good" voile writing. I love it!


And turn-up sleeves! :)

I am definitely happy with my purchase.

After coffee, we went to Shapes. Shapes is a clothing brand in the Philippines. At first, I didn't know that they also have accessories. But then, I found this....


I remember myself saying "I gotta have this".


As you probably noticed, owl jewelry is so "in". And from research, it has been since 2009. It has a certain appeal that reaches a lot of fashionistas out there. And me. :)

This is an owl cuff bracelet. Easy to wear.


And this is me wearing it :D.


Anyway, hope you enjoyed this post. 'Til my next post, lovelies.

Accessories Make the World Go 'Round.

... well, at least it's one of the reasons why. :))

What comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘fashion’? If you ask me, right away, I think of beautiful and trendy dresses, the runway, What’s ‘IN’ and otherwise, and more. Aside from all of these, I also think of those accessories that complement whatever outfit you are wearing.

I love accessories. I really do. When I was in high school, I would always purchase (and by that, I meant ask my mom to buy me) cute and really trendy accessories (jewellery/jewelry, purse, sunglasses, etc) to fit my daily jam. And now that I can buy these things with my own money, there’s no stopping me at all. The world is definitely a bigger place for me. Haha.

So, when I discovered Rings and Tings online fashion store, I was really happy. This shop has everything! Bags, shoes, clothing, jewellery, and more. When they sent me some accessories, I was certainly over the moon. Let’s have a look.



I love this ‘Love’ ring. I was hoping to have one as I think it’s really awesome. And now that I have, I am definitely satisfied.



What a lovely bracelet. The ‘cross’ design is wonderful. If you’ll notice, the cross is big enough and structured to suit one’s wrist perfectly. Super comfy.


The necklace - V-shape pendant. This is so ‘in’ at the moment. I love it! :D

And of course, this is me wearing them :)



Visit Rings and Tings online. You will love what they can offer you!

I just had to take one more photo. YAY! Special thanks to Rings and Tings.


They look sooo fab, right?
