EXCLUSIVE VIP OFFER: Mallzee

We all love a bit of online shopping but it never compares to the real thing, a day out with your friends, having a laugh setting the world to rights, and being able to nip into a cute little coffee shop for a cheeky slab of chocolate cake, or a creamy McFlurry to cool down before continuing with your shopping marathon is so much better than being sat at home clicking away at your computer.

However, although you'll never be able to quite get that same experience from the comfort of your own living room, there is a way to add more of a social experience to your online shopping, and its all from the same website.

Mallzee is a new online shopping website that allows you to connect with your friends without all being in the same room, it is not too different to Stylefruits, perfect for when you're too busy to meet in person or on a long boring train journey home.

The site allows each user to generate their own online Mall with their favourite brands, your favourite clothing items can then be saved to your "Wardrobe" where you can bring items together and figure out whether they will work as an outfit, this section of the site is also designed to suggest other items that might go with the items selected. The suggestions aren't always that great but it does come up with one or two good ones, I also think this will improve as the amount of times you use the site and the number of people using the site increases.





Mallzee then also allows you to share outfits or items of clothing in one place in the "Ask My Friends" section where you can get your friends opinions and they can vote which item of clothing or outfit you should buy.



The site is new, so it has still got a lot further to go, I must admit I'm a not a big lover of the design and layout, but the basics are there and from what I've seen of the site it runs fairly smoothly and is quick to load each section.

I do like the idea behind the site, having just one place where you can set up your own personal shopping experience pulling every brand or style you love together. It definitely beats having to faff around going to several different sites refining every search to the same thing, ending up with endless internet tabs open that just slow your computer down, or you ending up in a flap because you don't remember where you saw that amazing dress or shoes you fell in love with, so the site definitely has its perks.

Mallzee has also been named one of the "11 best startup concepts in Europe by Google, Bizcamp Telaviv and The Next Web" and I do like the concept I just think it needs a fair amount of tweaks, and it does have a some better features and ideas than sites like Stylefruits, but then Stylefruits is a lot more pleasing on the eye and has a nicer layout, however with more work Mallzee could be just as good if not better.

I'll let you make up your own mind up on the site, you can find it here: Mallzee

Screen Printing - Bitmapping

So the other day at uni we learnt a little tip to add depth to our screen prints, its called bitmapping First load the image you want to use in photoshop Heres mine - its something I'm looking at using for mothers day The you'll need to convert you image to Grayscale - to do this go to [Image] [Mode] [Grayscale] You'll then need to adjust the contrast of the image to help add depth later - to do this [Image] [Adjustment] [Levels], play around with the slider until you get the desired effect - you can also use [Brightness/contrast] but I prefer Levels Your image must be a minimum of 150ppi, although it is better to be 300ppi. To adjust the number of pixels within your image select [Image] [Image Size] and you can change the resolution Now its time to Bitmap the image - to do this go to [Image] [Mode] [Bitmap] - this will open this window change all of the settings to be the same as those in the image. Depending on your type of screen mesh you may need to adjust the

10 Most Shocking Tennis Outfits Ever

This week sees the start of Wimbledon and as Wimbledon is the smartest, most well dressed tournament there is, I thought it would be fun if we looked back at some of tennis' biggest fashion blunders. At number 10 we have Anne White from Wimbledon, it may have been 1985 Anne but that doesn't excuse turning up in your pyjamas to work. Next up we have tennis' very own Lady Gaga, Bethanie Mattek, who is famous for her outrageous dress sense, although this outfit from the 2007 US Open is relatively tame for her. At number 8 we have the five times Wimbledon champion Serena Williams with her biker inspired look from the Australian Open in 2004. Nice shin pads Serena. At number 7 sees Bethanie again, this time dressed as a cowgirl at the 2005 US Open. You're playing tennis Beth, not attending a fancy dress party!  Bethanie is still holding on to the title of worst dressed tennis player at number 6, sporting this design from Alex Nomble at Wim

Roberto Cavalli Fashion Illustrations

While I was a Fashion and Textiles Design student I was forever looking for the top designer's fashion illustrations, as I always found them so inspirational. I've recently stumbled across some I really love by Roberto Cavalli, so I thought I share them with you. This first two are designs made for Cindy Crawford and Georgia May Jagger, and they are amazing. Copyright of Roberto Cavalli This one below is for the lovely Sharon Stone. The snake back detail will look incredible, and adds a perfect little twist to the classic strapped back/backless dress. The next one was designed for Liu Wen, and it's my favourite. The colour and the indication of the pattern are beautiful. I love the expressive lines of the design and how subtle shading shows how the dress will fall. You could only expect the best from an amazing designer like Roberto Cavalli and he definitely delivers. Copyright of Roberto Cavalli There is no need to try and imagine how the finishe
