The interesting thing about Mr Perry is that he started in the fashion apparel industry in an unusual manner. Fred used to use gauze to wrap around his wrist in order to help with the perspiration from his wrist from getting onto the tennis racquet handle. In he late 1940’s, Mr. Perry was approached by a former Austrian footballer by the name of Tibby Wegner with an idea for marketing a sweatband to wear around the wrist with Fred’s name on it. According to Fred Perry’s autobiography, the first of these wrist bands or sweatbands were made out of a bath towel type of material and weighed a ton.With some later improvements in materials, the redesigned sweatbands launched a business that we now know of as Fred Perry Sportswear.

With some good marketing and persuading the top tennis players of those days to wear the sweatbands on the court, the … Read the rest

The Andis irons use a combination of tourmaline crystals and ceramic plates that straightens hair super quick and with minimal damage.

The Perfect Caterer Works For You

One of the things I’ve seen from bad caterers for years is their insistence that they do things their way. “I’ve been in the catering business for 24 years and this is the way it is always done, so this is the way we’re going to do your wedding because it’s a tried and true method.” I’ve heard versions of that throughout my life – but the real caterers, the ones that you want to have serve your guests, are willing to do the things that you want. If you start hearing language such as “this is the way I always do things,” just walk out the door.

The Perfect Caterer Has Options

There are many talented caterers out there that make great food, but the problem is that they make only one or two different recipes. So how do you find out if … Read the rest

Why not give them out at school fetes, car boot sales, jumble sales or anywhere that second hand goods are offered for sale.

Mix and Match

Mixing and matching patterns adds visual interest to your handmade purses, but avoid overdoing to to prevent fashion disasters.

Design your purses with your present wardrobe in mind. While you may love the personalized handbags that feature funky colors or outrageous designs, make sure that they won’t completely clash with what you have.

Use common colors like browns, blues or pinks to visually tie different patterns together. For example, fabric handbags that feature hot pink squares can be paired with a shirt that has the same colored stripes.
