Time for me to be blunt and honest - sometimes Elena amazes me..When she is working away with photoshop the mind boggles at the speed she can get stuff done and how cool she can make things look...I had an idea for a comic style picture and am happy to reveal part one which Elena made a reality...Really hope you like it as I'm really blown away by it, sure it's not a ladies t-shirt but, a bit of diversity is always good :) Who wants to see part two and any ideas as to what might be in the envelope?

You might have heard that we were hitting the road and I figured it was time to show you some pictures of our set ups in the places we have been..In total we have been to 5 (or is it 6) different spots in the last few weeks including Microsoft, Mater Hospital, Royal College of Surgeons, Icon and the Grand Fashion Bazaar..Sadly we forgot the camera for some of these places but here are some snaps for you..We're really enjoying getting out there and meeting people. The response thus far to our ladies t-shi... read more »
What better way to announce the 2nd winner in our 3 tee giveaway than dedicating our 100th post to doing so..As we've just passed 100 blog posts I've had a little moment to click back in time, almost emotional I tell ya hehe..The last year has been beyond crazy for myself and Elena at LadyUmbrella and if you have a moment to spare feel free to flick back and find out what we've been getting up to..And why not "follow" this blog - would love to hit 100 followers...Anyway, I've digressed and reminisced eno... read more »
I'm a bit of geek when it comes to keeping track of where our ladies t-shirts and tote bags get to travel to so needless to say when I received the picture to the right I was giddy. One of our totebags has travelled to India and now has a fine should to call home..In the few months we have been open one of the thrills we've gotten is sending t-shirts abroad to far away (and presumably greener) fields..For posterity I'd like to quickly recap where we've sent t-shirts to: Vietnam, South Korea, America, Can... read more »
We have just started a brand new competition today, our 3 tee giveaway and already it is going well with quite a few entries received..but, the entries received got me thinking...How powerful are the compers?Since starting this ladies t-shirt business I've become interested in social media and the likes and am really astounded at the speed with which "compers" can spread a message of a competition via facebook and twitter (heck, sure I tweet with lots of you regularly now, tis great hehe)..So, I was thin... read more »
Well, it has happened..the big day has come and gone and I for one feel a bit disappointed about the whole thing..Poxy Murphys Law..Some of you might have heard (or at least I hope you did) that we were launching our 2nd collection of graphic t-shirts yesterday.. Sadly, I was mad sick as we were launching and not able to tweet with the fervour I'd like to tweet with. In fact, by my standards, I did hardly any tweeting/facebooking etc and so for me, I feel like the launch was a flop...Thankfully a few oth... read more »
I don't want to say we are slow learners as that might be a bit harsh but I do think it's fair to say that our initial offering of ladies t-shirts was, well, limited when it came to sizes. We only had small, medium and large and the error of our ways is now apparent. We sold out very quickly of our larges but then our smalls (size 8) were the slow movers. Now, though, from what we've seen and your feedback, we've learned a bit and have gotten size wise.We want everyone to be able to purchase and wear our... read more »
What Just Happened?The last 24 hours or so have been pretty much magical..Really, that might sound like an overly strong word to describe facebook & twitter antics but for us seeing the magic unfold in front of eyes as people suggested our page to their friends was overwhelming..When we started the Race to 6,000 yesterday I really thought it would run for a few days..In the end facebook won and it took just 5 hours to cross 6k finish line..Twitter followed suit today but heck, everyone is a winner here :... read more »
Sometimes things just work out nicely don't they? We've been wanting to have some fun with our friends and followers for a while and then low and behold an opportunity like this presents itself for us to give away some tote bags..Magic..So, what is the opportunity?Well, at the time of writing we have 5,874 facebook likers and 5,861 followers on twitter which I think you'll agree are pretty close to each other..And so, the stage is set for a race to 6,000 to see which account will make it their first...Wh... read more »
I'll let you in on a secret, we've been sitting on some notebook designs for a while now...We've been wanting to show them before but with the launch of our tote bag happening just a few weeks back we got side tracked and didn't have a chance to unveil them..We rectified that today though and unleashed them to get your much sought after opinion...So, here is the deal..Elena has come up with six pretty sweet notebook designs (I'm biased as all hell but I think they are rather narly) but we can only bring ... read more »
