Ed Hardy Accessories

November 15th 2008 23:41

Don Ed Hardy is an American tattoo artist that is now just a mentor at a tattoo shop in San Francisco, but in 2002, he was approached by Ku USA, Inc, to help design a lign of clothing apparel. Hardy and Ku USA formed Hardy Life LLC. In 2004, Christian Audigier licensed the rights to produce the Ed Hardy clothing line, which is based on Hardy's imagery. To date, there are at least 12 different Ed Hardy stores and his online website.

Ed Hardy is probably one of the newer brands that you'll find is goign to start a pretty big craze. The designer has loads of tattoo and alternative clothing, but we can't forget about he accessories because we all know that it is in the accessory that makes or breaks the outfit.

Ed Hardy has a different outlook on style that is loved by those in the alternative, rock, and skater lifestyles. You'll find that his watches are more on the non-traditional side with a traditional band and a more eccentric face. Ed Hardy's shoes are more of the tattooed/ alternative appearance and appeal.

Check out the following Ed Hardy accessories. For the most part Ed Hardy has the same designs for his different clothing apparel and accessories, so you can match your favorite Ed Hardy t- shirt with a purcse, watch, shoes, and belt.

You can have fun with it, but personally, I think if you have the same design in every place of your body, youl overdo it slightly. I think a good thing is minimal, but that's just me.

But, anyway check out the following accessories because if you're into the tattoo design and appeal, then I'm sure that you can find something that you'll like, especially since the following links will lead you to the discount and cheaper prices than you'll find at the actual Ed Hardy stores and his official website. And, discount prices are so much better than the full price when you're still getting the same brand new and high quality design and product.

Tattoo Shoes

November 14th 2008 01:27

Tattoos are pretty popular among people in many locations and of many ages. It’s just a trend, fad, or however you want to look at it that isn’t going away in the near future. But, if you’re not quite ready for tattoos on your body, you can purchase tattoo shoes for your feet. Ok, not I’m not talking about realistic tattoos for your feet that you can just remove, I’m talking about real shoes with tattoo designs.

You can find tattoo shoes in a variety of brands to include Vans, Draven, Ed Hardy, Converse, and even J. Fishkicks, which is a relatively new shoe company that features tattoo shoes designed by Cris Garver of Miami Ink.

You’ll even find rain boots that have cool tattoo designs on them. Chooka offers adult and children rain boots with tattoo designs ranging from classic flashes, koi, and various other tattoo designs that you’ll just love to wear around even if it’s not raining.

And, of course when you think of shoes, you can’t help but to think of Nike; the company has hired Mister Cartoon, an LA. tattoo artist who has designed the company several limited edition shoes.

Tattoo shoes are actually more popular than you may think. You won’t find just the guys and gals working at tattoo shops wearing tattoo shoes (because yes most of these guys love them- personal experience of the shops in my local area). You’ll find celebs like Travis Barker and Eminem wearing the same tattoo shoes.

So, if you just check around you shouldn’t have any problems find the perfect pair of tattoo shoes for you. I mean, I’ve been hunting and I’ve found tons that I love. And, although sometimes the prices can be a little high, if you check the right places, you should be able to find tattoo shoes within your budget.

Spiked Collars

October 21st 2008 22:52

Spike collars are no longer jus for dogs. You'll find more and more goth, emo, and punk people wearing spiked collars around their necks and wrists.

Personally, it's dangerous, and I wouldn't recommend it, but whatever floats your boat. I mean you don't look any tougher with the spiked collar than you do without it.

Just like there are different spiked collars for dogs, you'll find different spiked collars for people, but for the most part they're the exact same thing.

For the most part, you'll find that they are a fake leather with sort spikes or loops with chains, but there are different widths that one can purchase with different types of spikes or studs.

Punk Baby Clothes

June 6th 2008 15:31

Ok, so I was the typical child who wore shirts with animals, stripes, dots, and usually pastel colors. That's typically what people dress their young children in, but ever since I met my boyfriend, we've had some pretty interesting discussions about dressing children. He says his kids will wear black clothes with little skulls on them. I personally, can't image that, but I also can't imagine dressing my baby up in something fru-fru.

So, I did a quick search and found that it's actually pretty popular to purchase alternative baby clothes for your children.

Now, it's probably not the outfits that the typical person would choose, but amongst the right crowd, this style is actually pretty popular.

You can find prison-garb onesies, rockstar clothes, skulls, grenades, camo, bands and band logos, and tons of other styles and images that would fit the goth or alternative lifestyle. I mean you can find hip hop styles, urban, skater, retro, and goth. It's all aternative in my book.

What do you guys think about some of these styles? Would you dress your infant, toddler, or young child in these clothes?

Skull 2 Piece Onesie and Bib

Diaper Pirate Toddler T-Shirt

Grenade Toddler T-Shirt

Skull Camo Booties

If you are interested in alternative baby clothes like those pictured above, or maybe you know someone who may be interested, you check out these websites.

* Ebay
* babyGoth
* Punk Baby Clothes

Oh and it's not just baby and toddler clothes, you can purchase maternity clothes and diaper bags.

What's Up With That Kilt?

May 29th 2008 18:51

Leather Kilt

Ok, so this isn't all that alternative, but it's not too common, either. Kilts are traditionally worn by Scottish and Celtic (more specifically Gaelic) cultures, typically just the men. They exist in various modern forms, which have been designed towards to historical garment, whether that be a Scottish, Gaelic, Northumbrian, Irish, Welsh, Cornish, or the Contemporary kilt.

The kilt (which is the singular and plural form of the word, according to tradtitionalists) has various designs that are associated with different situations and organizations; IE there is a hunting kilt, Union kilt, bagpiping kilt, Highland dancing kilt, wedding, rugby matches, etc. The contemporary kilt can be formal or casual dress, athletic, hunting, white or blue collar work, or outdoor recreational.

Depending on the occasion, the kilt is typically worn with various accessories such as a belt, jacket, sporran (purse), sgian dubh (small shethed knife worn in the top of the sock), Ghillie Brogues, Kilt pin, and the Kilt sock.

Most kilts are generally made of twill or worsted wool, and can be solid colored or patterned depending on the style that the kilt has been designed after. The Scottish kilt is typically cross-patterned, or plade, while the Irish kilt is typically solid. Now, the contemporary kilt is seen in cotton, demin, leather, and cordoroy.
