Teen Choice Awards Highlight Hollywood Fashions

Throughout the year, at movie premiers and fashion weeks, and at an array of special events, the stars of the entertainment industry pose for the camera in their couture best, providing ample material for gossip rags and critical onlookers who love to assess just who was best-dressed. But it’s not too common to focus the attention on teens and younger adults, which might seem a bit odd on the first pass as a growing number of stars are starting their professional careers at a younger age, and many modern style sensibilities are geared towards a younger market.

But the Teen Choice Awards is a venue that’s naturally given to attract younger stars, with emerging talents and established starlets making the rounds among a wider attendance that includes many entertainment industry staples.At the most recent incarnation of this annual event, a number of young women stole the show in fashion-forward dresses that served as the perfect highlights for a perfect sun-lit California afternoon. Among those honored at the ceremony, “Heroes” actress Hayden Panettiere generated a fair dose of gossip power with her whisper pink ensemble, which included a ruched dress and subtle yet sexy shoes off-setting a relaxed yet classic hairstyle and neutral makeup.

The star was presented with two major awards, and her fashion choices were picture perfect both on-stage and on the red carpet. The jewelery Panettiere chose was a bit formal but blended nicely with the soft tones of her dress; sparkling drop crystal earrings and a lattice-work crystal bracelet Selena Gomez worked the crowd in a classic gown that borrowed a modern edge from a one-shouldered, toga-style design, carried out in pristine baby blue. With attractive T-strap sandals and a cute yet classy look and feel for hair and makeup, Gomez managed to look sexy without stirring up too much drama –a smart move for the emerging Disney-endorsed star. With a neckline that was all about elegant simplicity, Gomez’ dress didn’t need, nor did it have much room for, a necklace. But the starlet still let costume jewellery do its thing for her look with a gorgeous pair of oversized oval diamond earrings that were wonderfully elegant while recalling just a bit of 1960’s chic.Glamor girls Leighton Meester and Ashley Tisdale worked far more structured outfits, with the former showing up in a pretty black and white striped frock, an Tisdale showing off her enviable frame in a figure-fitting strapless gown with a contrast sweetheart neckline. Meester’s shoes were the major accessory items of the night in bright red, but a bold leather cuff managed to steal a bit of the spotlight. Tisdale wore a series of bangle bracelets yet declined a suitable necklace to offset her gown –a mistake we think may have kept her from being crowned the night’s most flawless fashion figure. As the starlets continue their work and start making the rounds at more mature events, we’re eager to see who shows up to next year’s shindig –and how they accessorize, of course.

Throughout human history people have always found ways to express their ideas to others. Handbills and flyers have covered city walls since the advent of the printing press. Graffiti has been around since Roman times.

In the 20th century, a new form of self expression emerged: the t-shirt. Originally introduced by the Navy in 1913, it took widespread use by soldiers in World War II to introduce the crew neck t-shirt to the public. The 1950’s were also important in the history of the t-shirt, being worn as outerwear by such stars as Marlin Brando and James Dean. In the 1960’s the t-shirt began to be used as a palette for expression. The first corporate advertising on a t-shirt was a can of Budwiser beer. There’s even a phrase for the ubiquitous nature of t-shirts as expression: “Been there. Done that. Got the T-shirt”

T-shirts can be used to express political views or show musical tastes, or lack thereof. Someone wearing a John Deere t-shirt is sending a very different message from the person in the t-shirt with a character from Japanese animation. And what business doesn’t have their logo available on a shirt? People use shirts to tell others about which sports teams they like, a favorite movie or book, who their favorite NASCAR driver is, or to stop looking at their breasts. T-shirts are seen that commemorate any possible event; birthdays, weddings, (and divorces), vacations, summer camps, family reunions, the possibilities are endless.

The technology for custom t-shirt expression has never been more abundant. Kiosks in malls with full-color photo transfers, airbrush artists, online designers for custom screen printed work, they are all easily accessible and affordably priced. Whatever you want to say, there are multitudes of ways to say it on a t-shirt for everyone to see.

The Harley-Davidson line of baby and children’s clothing includes items ranging from newborn booties to motorcycle jackets, and clothing for virtually any occasion. Available accessories in

clude items such as head wraps, lunch totes, wallets, backpacks, and diaper bags.  What sets these products apart, aside from the licensed brand name, is their quality and attention to detail. Many clothing items are 100% cotton or soft velour and offer a comfortable fit. Common detail elements include embroidered or woven patches featuring the Harley Bar and Shield logo or other Harley designs. Many of the newborn and infants outfits also come complete with a headband (for girl’s), hat, or doo rag cap.

The Harley-Davidson line of toys, furniture, and décor accessories includes items such as rockers, toy storage boxes, stools, and growth charts. Many parents these days are searching for unique products that break away from the common animal and flower themes so prevalent in baby décor. These Harley products offer parents that alternative. Unfortunately, Harley-Davidson crib bedding is not available as a licensed product, although it has been a common request received at our store (www.TinyTreasuresBaby.com). New products are available each season, so we are keeping our fingers crossed for this one to appear.

These products are not just for the motorcycle or Harley enthusiast. People who have perhaps a mild interest in motorsports or the Harley brand are discovering the quality and style of these products. Many of the customers on our site purchase Harley newborn clothing gift boxes as baby shower gifts for their friends who have some interest in or tie to the motorcycle community.

Although the Harley-Davidson brand is becoming more and more popular, the baby and children’s products are not necessarily easy to find. The Harley dealerships tend to carry a limited selection of these products, and many people do not live near enough to a dealership for convenient shopping. Those who have shopped at dealerships know their price tags can also be somewhat of a deterrent. Considering the cost of fuel these days, and our all-too-often over booked schedules, many people are opting to shop online. Very few web retail stores carry the licensed Harley line. Websites carrying specifically the baby and children’s clothing and accessories products are especially limited. We carry an extensive selection on our site at www.TinyTreasuresBaby.com, and we strive to offer them at very competitive and reasonable prices. Another site with good selections is www.BikersDen.com.

The Harley-Davidson baby and children’s clothing and accessories line is updated seasonally (spring/summer and fall/winter), so customers should check for brand new items, and updates on old favorites, especially in early spring and early fall. We at www.TinyTreasuresBaby.com have noticed that certain items are continuously in high demand – the Newborn Denim Bar and Shield Gift Set, motorcycle and denim jackets, the Spare Parts Gift Set, diaper bags, and newborn booties, just to name a few.
