Because I STAR WARS

Hello Sassies :)


How are you all doing on this beautiful winters day? Brrrrrrr it's cold in South Africa today! I hope you're all staying warm, and eating all your veggies to prevent the sniffles making it's rounds at the moment.


Today I have something very exciting, and non-nail-related to share with you. Yay!!


I'm sure most of my fellow nail bloggers and online shoppers know (and looooooove) B from Because I Shop. If you don't know her or her online shop, you have GOT to visit the links at the bottom of this post. She's beyond amazing.


Every once in a while I get an awesome idea. Sometimes they're awesome, sometimes they're just plain cray-cray. It's normally some custom something and somewhat I need made/printed/built etc. Today's post is aaaaaalllll about one of my "AHA, that's what I want" moments. :-)


June 19th 2016 was father's day in South Africa. My boyfriend is a big Star Wars fan. HUGE! HUUUUGE!! Really? How big of a Star Wars fan can a person be? Well...


Here is a pic of the two of us, before a Star Wars quiz night... Yes, Star Wars quiz nights are actually a thing. Hahaha.

And here... Is little old me, proudly influenced to incorporate Star Wars in MY fashion. Hahaha. At least I rock it. Right? ;-)

So, since we started dating I've been using Star Wars as my inspiration for, well, almost all of the gifts I give him. So obviously, Star Wars was my first thought again when it came to father's day gift buying. I searched google for Star Wars father's day gifts, and couldn't find anything (locally) that I loved, and that I knew Mr. Handsome would love.


I then came across a picture of father and son T-shirts that I absolutely HAD to buy my guys. HAD TO. It had their names written ALL over it. But - I had to order it from the US, pay import taxes, wait a million lifetimes for it to get here, etc etc etc. NO! That's not gonna work. Then I realized, but heeeeeeeey, B's got my back!! She made me custom nail vinyls a while back (stay tuned for a review and some gorgeous art coming soon), and I remembered I also saw she does T-shirt printing. Yaaaaaaaay B!


I dropped her an inbox on Facebook (link to her FB page below), and she replied almost immediately. That's how I know a company values their clients and the business they get, and will do everything in their power to make the customer feel satisfied with their overall experience. So that was already a BIG win.


I sent her the images, and she almost immediately replied that she can, and will be delighted, to help me. From sending her the image, it took less than a week to get to me. That included outsourcing the T's, doing the designs, printing on the T's AND delivery from Durban to Johannesburg. Freaking AWESOME!! :-D Anyway, here's what we came up with...


Meet Mr. Handsome and his mini dupe.

Oh... My... GAWSH!!!!!!! How insanely handsome are they, right??? And - How freaking awesome are those t-shirts? I absolutely LOVE them, and so do the guys. This pic was taken right after Mr. Handsome opened it, and Michael demanded they wore it RIGHT NOW! Hahaha.
