What to Buy - Men's Business Shirts

Well worth considering buying from the USA are men's business shirts. If purchasing for a husband or boyfriend you will need to know both their neck size and sleeve length. You should also be aware that regular fit in the US is quite generous around the waist and arms therefore slim fit or European fit is usually more appropriate for the more athletic shape (or ones without a beer belly).

Whilst shopping for business shirts for my husband, I found that french cuff dress shirts are not as prevalent as they are in Australia so I have compiled the best top 5 retailers to purchase 'slim fit dress shirts with french cuff'.

What to buy - summer gear



Roxy



Billabong





With summer upon us we thought it would be timely to compare prices for the purchase of swim wear, sunglasses, thongs and other summer essentials. The result is that these items are worth purchasing from the US and shipping back to Australia. Other than the brand name sites themselves our favourite website to get all your summer necessities is http://www.swimoutlet.com/ which stocks a huge range of brands including Roxy, Seafolly, Billabong, Speedo, Havaiana's etc. Whether you are looking for athletic swim gear or just to relax at the beach this site seemed to have everything and at great prices. Don't forget to change your location to the USA though when first logging on to the site. The question is can we cope without the traumatic experience of bather shopping in front of those horrid change room mirrors???
