I have a very twisted sense of fashion, twisted in a sense that I tend to murder fashion in a kind of rebellious way. I don’t know how I will be able to explain this one but okay here’s the thing. I tend to go against the current fashion trends. If retro is the in thing I would go with the 80’s style or I will be wearing clothes for the rainy season on summer. This used to shock some people especially those who claims to be a fashion police.

I may never land a job on MD Style or as a Personal Shopping London assistant  or Personal Stylist London (which is my dream job by the way)in the near future because of my fashion sense but I am proud that I am one of those few who really goes out wearing what they want to wear. It doesn’t matter if I will be criticized by my fashion choice. I believe that at the end of the day it is going with what makes you feel comfortable in spite and despite of what society would say is the best fashion trend of all.

I am still hoping that the universe will rearrange and people would actually give some credits to people who have a twisted sense of fashion like me.

Personalised clothing is a necessity when setting up a team, regardless of whether it’s a male, female or mixed team and regardless of the sport. Once a team has been kitted out, they feel like they belong to a unit which ultimately makes every member feel involved, proud and honored to be part of it. This is massively important when forming a team, the feeling of wanting to be the best, winning, and sticking together and doing well for the team stands for something a lot.
Many sports companies start as a small business and focus on one particular sport. After the initial succession, more sports teams, schools and clubs become interested in their clothing line and they then wish to have their uniforms and sports kits etc. designed by them too.  Many sports shops will offer personalisation and they can customise any products with your personal school or teams logos on.
The most popular product that people purchase and personalise is different types of hoodies; they are perfect for ice or snow sports or school trips. Kids love them as names can be customised; prices are so reasonable and affordable and you tend to get a deal if there is a full team that would be interested in purchasing matching clothing. It’s important for any team of people – whether they’re a sports team or math’s champions – to look good in their team clothes as it will help build team morale. If they think they’re being laughed at because they’re wearing bright pink and orange then they won’t perform as well.
Personalising kits is a great way to ensure the emblem of the club, school or team is proudly worn, personalisation also allows any sponsors of the team to be advertised. Names on shirts and hoodies are also a good idea as a spectator aid. Especially in sports, it’s sometimes hard to know who is playing at any one time so having their names on their back makes it a lot easier. Having a personalised top is also great for the competitor, as if people know who they’re watching they can shout support to individuals.
Schools choose to personalise blazers, jumpers, cardigans, socks and physical education kits. This is to allow all members of the school to feel as equal as their peers and also when on school outings, they are recognised as one unit.
Every sport now has a team kit, regardless of how many are in that team and wearing matching personalised kits allows people to recognise they are all together and form part of the success.

In the world of hairdressing, recent times would not have been quite the same without hair extensions, so what makes them so popular?
Over the past decade, hair extensions have become an immensely popular product throughout the hair and beauty industry. A large percentage of the public were initially unsure about hair extensions in general because they did not know where the actual hair was coming from, but as time went by they undoubtedly grew more popular.
People buy their hair extensions from salons and hair specialist shops from all over the world. Companies have noticed a huge increase in sales for hair extensions over the years, so much so that they began to provide all kinds of artificial hair.
Salons mainly focus on hair extensions because members of the public find many reasons why they need to purchase them. Some people purchase them for extra length, some for volume and some literally to change the style or colour of their hair. One of the great things about hair extensions is that they provide a different look without making a permanent change to their actual hair. The colour can be changed to give a two-tone look or it can be matched or dyed the same as your natural hair.
There are two ways to apply these hair extensions; people can either get them applied at a reputable salon which means they are in their hair for a longer period of time, or the other alternative is to purchase clip-on extensions. This allows you to be able to choose whenever you want to wear them. The hair is real human hair and needs to be washed with certain products to keep the consistency of it and to keep the appearance looking natural and glossy.
A lot of people purchase the products due to having seen a number of celebrities in the media wearing them. This portrays the extensions as something to make you beautiful and glamorous, which people want to feel, especially on a night out or at a special occasion. Since hair extensions have become so popular it has generated an excellent turnover for salons and proved a great purchase for customers themselves.
If people want longer hair then purchasing hair extensions rather than waiting for it to grow naturally is ideal. Hair can grow at what seems to be a slow rate for most people and waiting for it to grow out of that awful stage where nothing can be done is painstaking. Applying hair extensions is the perfect answer and has a much quicker result.

The measurements and sizes of clothing change frequently. A dress from the 1960s that’s labelled size six is equivalent to a different size today. Never buy anything right off the rack, but instead try on everything before you buy. When shopping for pieces online take your own measurements, especially around the hips, thigh and arm. Compare those measurements to the ones listed by the seller. Wearing clothing that doesn’t fit defeats the idea of wearing vintage clothing. Clothing that’s too big makes you look bigger and drowns out your natural body shape. Clothing that’s too small puckers around your skin and creates an uneven body shape. Keep in mind that if you find a piece you love, you can likely get it tailored to fit your body.
