Dog Tags have become a big fashion accessory over the last few years. My oldest nephew Eric has a few of them, which has gotten the attention of another nephew Tyler (he’s 8). He keeps telling me that this is something he wants for Christmas “because Eric has one”. Eric has become somewhat of a role model for Tyler over the last few years and Tyler seems to imitate everything Eric does. I figured I would start checking into this for Tyler and grant his “Christmas wish”.

This morning I signed onto a website called Fat Statement and found that they have recently launched a new product on their site - Custom Dog Tags. This is great for me because I want Tyler to have a one of a kind dog tag and not one anyone can just pick up in a local accessory department. Fat Statement allows me to choose from a large selection of pre-designed symbols or I can even upload my own image from my hard drive. It’s easy to move the uploaded image or pre-designed symbol into the position on the dog tag that I want it in. I can also add text to my design, along with choosing my choice of a background color. Their step by step design editor is so easy to use that I think even my 8 year old nephew would be able to use it and design his own. You seriously cannot go wrong.

This is a great idea for people like me who are looking to create a unique gift for a friend or loved one, or even create something unique for themselves. I think I will get Tyler and Eric both one for Christmas. I may even make them the same, since they’ve become such good friends!

I was thinking about how I really need to update my wardrobe today, after realizing that since all of our moving around, I’ve sort of let myself go! I wouldn’t say I dress that bad but I don’t really dress myself up like I used to!

I was browsing around Electricladyland.com just now and realized how badly I want some new denim and how delicious True Religion’s denim is! I also found some really adorable lounge wear!! The strawberries are hot! Heck, that pink is just hot! I am definitely going to start saving my money and rebuild a decent wardrobe after surfing Electricladyland.com!! That I can promise you!

The good thing though, is that they offer much more than that! For example, check out Kenneth Jay Lane Jewelry! I really love the turquoise bracelets and the strawberry ring (wouldn’t that go with the lounge wear perfectly??!!)
