I tend to think that rhinestones and diamante have had a bit of bad press, what with being Katie Price’s bling of choice and the staple of hen night decoration. However, I love how it’s going in a whole new and much darker direction courtesy of the amazing designers Queen of E.vil. Taking a look at their autumn/winter 2011 range I can see beautifully styled tees, jackets and sweaters with the most amazing slogans and diamante prints. Lots of urban themes; McQueen-y skull motifs abound, and the naughtiest of glittery slogans, all complete with smeary slutty make-up. I’m totally inspired, and need to go and do another bling thing. Take a look, and go and have a diamante moment. Or two.
Popstar Jessie J has exploded onto the music scene with her catchy blend of self-penned songs and her Addams Family styling. Full of energy and hooray, not a throw-up from the X Factor, almost a perfect popstar, in my humble opinion.
I love the bright black pageboy cut, which looks amazing with this getup from celeb favourite Wildfox Couture. A lovely sparkly number, in a mixture of cotton and stretchy spandex, with a sequinned ribcage on the front. Bones are hugely fashionable right now.
Wildfox are still one of the most popular brands around with their unique style of vintage t-shirts and retro style motifs and are massive investment pieces…you just have to watch out for the price tag!
Unless you’re some kind of antisocial amoeba from outer space, then you’re probably aware that today is the Royal Wedding. Even if you didn’t watch it, you just know there’s going to be Groundhog Day on the TV for a while yet, so expect to see the balcony bit over and over again, ooh and ahh over the dress, and the cute little bridesmaids, and generally accept that it’s going to be the topic of conversation for at least the next three weeks.
There’s only one t-shirt for today, and that’s the Just Married diamante number. Perfectly uncynical, but with a nice bit of sparkle to match your tiara. An absolute must for everyone’s inner princess!
What I like about Mariah Carey is that she obviously enjoys her food. She’s one of those celebrities who you might imagine is on a constant diet, and keeps falling off the cake wagon. Which makes her just a little bit more normal than some super duper stars who always make it look so effortless to be glamorous, thin and mega, mega rich. Which of course it can’t be, but they do contrive to make it look that way some of them.
Mariah was on the telly the other day flogging her jewellery with a t-shirt that had the word “Babies” printed over her tummy in rhinestones. Babies this is (two of them even, clever girl), and not pies. I love this idea, and want to don a t-shirt immediately explaining the reason for my belly. Although I’m not sure if “Chips, er more chips, and then some crisps, a large glass of wine, some cheese on toast and bacon and eggs” would fit on one line. Or sound as cute.
New just in from Reuters that the most expensive bra in the world, coated with 3000 white diamonds, sapphires and topazes has been slashed in price. The economy is in need of some serious underwiring, and just can’t support these weighty gems any longer. Down to just $2 million dollars, the cost of the Bombshell Fantasy Bra really has gone south. For some years now the annual Victoria’s Secret bra has been fronting the company’s holiday campaign , but the bejewelled bustier is nowhere near as perky as it’s heyday, when the 2006 Fantasy Bra cost $6.5 million.
If you feel like flashing the bling, but can’t quite stretch to two million until payday, may I suggest you take a look at our diamante t-shirts. At just £21, darling, it’s a much more civilised price!
A bit of a T-Shirt Studio exclusive here. Lots of looks available on our website for you to create, although sadly, the beach holiday isn’t included. Check out a selection of our t-shirts and hoodies with various styles and and looks.
This is a great way of showing some of our extensive range and can show a bit more what our t-shirts look like in the flesh as it were.
When the divine Nigella Lawson wrote a cookery book entitled “How to be a Domestic Goddess” women everywhere flocked to buy into a piece of the most sumptuous celebrity chef ever created. Although the title conjured up images of ladies in pinnies 1950′s style baking and making for their better halves, there was a great irony in the title as it was quite evident that the lovely Nigella had sampled EVERYTHING and her better half , the art collector Charles Saatchi,it emerged only ate eggs.
Katie Price’s book tour for her new novel “Paradise” has been a massive success; astounding really as she is quite open about the fact that she didn’t actually write the thing. What is beyond incredible however, is the army of fans queueing up for the book signing, are loving it anyway. The never shy Price proclaiming her status in a series of diamante t-shirts with slogans such as “Celebrity Goddess” and “Caviar, champagne, chocolate, french fries” seems not to repel her avid followers but to bring them on in their droves.
Obviously goddesses are the thing, be it celebrity or domestic or other. Just make sure you write it on your t-shirt just in case everyone else is in doubt!
Nary a days seems to pass without a story of Peter Andre or Katie Price (should that be Reid now? No, she will make him change his name, surely) threatening to sue each other for something or other which nobody believed anyway. There seems to be so much to-ing and fro-ing between the two, you might start wondering if they weren’t protesting a little too much….
This little number from Peter (that’s SAINT Peter to you, mind) is to rise above all that petty nastiness (like when Katie wore her ‘Team Price‘ t-shirts) and put the children first. Sporting a diamanté Team Children t-shirt, he’s doing what him and Katie do best; writing the headlines on their t-shirts themselves before anyone else has a chance. Kinda unsporting, but then who was it who said a picture is worth a thousand words? What would they say if they found out that these days the t-shirt says it all?
You can always rely on Katie Price to perform her role as pantomime villain right down to the last detail. She rarely disappoints either, as any good baddie worth her salt she remains utterly remorseless,and relentless in her pursuit of world domination via all things pink and shiny, oblivious to the boos and hisses surrounding her. She is wonderfully good entertainment however, much more fun to watch than arch rival and daintily boring goodie Cheryl Cole.
Her latest bad deed is to take her friends out on a hen to to have group Botox (gasp!) ahead of her second lot of nuptials to pantomime dufus Alex Reid (think Buttons but with less brain cells). Spotted the other day all wearing sparkly diamanté t-shirts, a big hen do favourite, they descended on Milton Keynes en masse for a day of injections and pampering.
I can’t wait to see them on the big day. Will they all look startled, or like a group of shop dummies, devoid of expression and rather plastic? Once again, our Katie is compelling in her chavness, bless her. And just to put the icing on the (wedding) cake, she’s releasing her first solo single in July. If it’s anything like this, we’ll be in for a real treat!
