This my lovelies is the t-shirt appropriately titled “Lady Umbrella is away with the birds” which I thought was a perfectly “tweetable” fashion piece to purchase online at www.ladyumbrella.com. It was a snap to buy and a breeze to wear. For those of you who would also like to make fashionable online purchases here’s a few tips:

Fashion Tip 1: T-shirts are a low-risk, easy way to start purchasing clothes online. T-shirts are effortless to wear and usually found at an affordable price. Just make sure to get a color that compliments your skin tone & features. *I’m a brunette with pale skin so this bold true blue looks wonderful on me. Blondes would look stunning in the peachy pink “Lady Umbrella likes to strut” while dark and olive skinned girls would rock the cheeky yellow “What came first the chicken or the umbrella?”.

Fashion Tip 2: Check out the unique accessory options either from the same store or from another online store to add to the look. Scarves, bangles, & earrings can all be easily paired with your t-shirt and won’t cost a lot either. If you are really bold look at some hats or shoes! Or if you are really on a budget just look in your own closet for some fun accessories that can freshen up your look. *I choose pink instead of blue to add some punch as you’ll see below!

Fashion Tip 3: If available before you check out and put down payment information look at any reviews that are listed by other shoppers who have purchased the garment. You might save yourself some heartache or a wrong size choice. At Lady Umbrella though you can trust you’ll get a great garment since Rob & Elena have given all their shirts rigorous testing.

So are you ready to make your own awesome purchases online! Let me hear about it by commenting below. Also feel free to share your own tips for shopping online & off. And stay tuned for more fashion awesomeness next week ;)

Happy shopping!

The wonderfully whimsical Lady Umbrella is another fashionable Twitter discovery I’ve happily made this month.

This quirky little fashion company is made up of charming Irishman Rob Ryan and the shyly intriguing Elena Montes. Originally from Spain, designer Elena based the beguiling Lady Umbrella character upon arriving in Dublin’s rainy and umbrella populated streets.

These tees are truly stylish creations and the result of one of my favorite real formulas: Art + Fashion. And what’s wonderful about each t-shirt design is they bring artfulness into your everyday style! How cool is that? Turbo cool I tell you.

Okay okay, let me get a little more serious and professional here about these folks. They are another fantastic example of social media savvy. Not only did they (Rob? Elena? or perhaps new recruit Richie?) @’reply me on Twitter when I started following them they also DM’d in that this-is-a-real-human-tweeting way that I so appreciate. This always motivates brand loyalty in me and many of my stylish sisters. It is a must for start ups to reach out to their market/community and share their passion and get to know us. And because of their social media awesomeness I’m not only willing to purchase from them but also happily and enthusiastically tweet to my own network.

So which tee are you going to get? I’ve got my eye on the blue pictured above. Looks just smashing on brunettes doesn’t it?

FREE shipping my lovelies! Just to make it even more enticing!

Also after you’ve breezily perused their website go say hello to them on Twitter or Facebook – and tell them Apryl the @365daygirl sent ya ;)
I <3 graphic tees and these are delightful.

I adore the blue tee pictured above.

Their site is adorable and just as quirky & fun as their tees.

I happily signed up for their newsletter and Facebook fan page and was treated to this humbly titled video.
