Hot Summer Style Event: A Quick Recap
Hot Summer Style Event: A Quick Recap
So in celebration of this coming 4th of July weekend, I thought I would take a peek at how some people like to express their patriotism through clothing. Boy, did I find some really interesting stuff. So in honor of our great country, here are some of the most “expressive” ways I saw that people like to show their love for the good ol’ USA.
Despite all of the great buys and great clothes that now fill my closet, I’ve discovered one inherent problem with RTC (aside from the whole depleting my bank account part). With all these wonderful, soft, silky, and smooth fabrics, I simply cannot stop petting my clothing. What’s the problem in that, you ask? Well, let me explain. read more…
I have to say, one of the most enjoyable things about our most recent event, Crazy Sale Day – Take Two, was all the new chatters that jumped in during the day. There were definitely some new shoppers, but I suspect there were also lurkers popping into chat as well. Chatting, however, can be somewhat challenging on Crazy Sales Days. What with the items flying by in 15, 10 and 5 minute increments, it can be difficult to do more than talk about the items, sizing, locate pictures, and occasionally cry over the price we may have paid for an item prior to Crazy Sale Day or the fact that while we were doing all this, our size just flew off the screen in the flash of a pink bar! I mean really, on CS days, one has got to pay attention! But hey, we are Chicks after all, and therefore find time to chat even under the direst of circumstances!
It seemed like everyone was present and accounted for during the most recent RedTagCrazy event introducing Sworn Virgins. And why not? Who wants to miss the presentation of a new and wonderful brand to the site? Not only were we treated to a selection of beautiful and eco friendly items of clothing, we were also treated to visits on Chick Chat from not one, but both of the creators of Sworn Virgins, Alex Amini and Roshanne Aghelvi. As a matter of fact, Alex, with 231 shows of ‘love’, made it to #1 on the RTC Most Loved rankings chart.
So you all know by now that I like to find crazy things on the internet. Well this week my finds are purses. I know we all have different taste in clothing and accessories but I think you have to be a little essentric to carry any of these purses! I do not think that we will be seeing these in the Summer Trends blogs..lol
I’m not going to lie – I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to milestones, reflections, and self-discovery. That’s why, when I saw my name appear on the lovely rankings tab that SA created, I got all nostalgic about how far we’ve all come, and how far I came especially from being the lurker afraid to say “hi” when I first joined to the girl at the top of the “most active” chart who is clearly not able to shut her virtual mouth. I definitely think that I have had a fashion reawakening, have gained a better understanding about my body, have nearly put myself into the poorhouse, and…have had a lot of fun doing it? So, in light of all of that, here is a story about my RTC learning curve.
I don’t know about you guys, but special order cakes usually make my day. It really warms my heart that someone went to all that trouble to order a cake with me in mind, especially when it has my name on it and things that I like. It’s sweet, in my opinion – and yes, pun intended.
