STYLISH ACCESSORIES

It was on this modernized world that automotive vehicles started to be proud and confident as they parade through streets. From their initial setup of just having wheels, lights, windshield, steering, mirrors, and other essential parts, cars now come with stylish accessories that decorate them to put in an extra glamor and protection as well.
Steering wheels are dressed with a leather costume to give it more grip, the seats are covered in the finest leather or cloth for a comfortable ride, the gear is topped with an easy-to-handle cover for better shifting grip, spoilers are added to the hood of the trunk to give the car more style as these project a “pop the collar” attitude, and lots more add-ons just to give cars a twist both in style and protection. Different companies and manufacturers emerged to develop on the different accessories there are in cars. One such company is the GT Styling, whose products are mostly on protective covers for essential areas in cars. GT Styling performance parts specialize in wind deflectors, headlight and taillight covers, bug guards, sunroof deflectors, and aerowings. The provide these accessories for all types of 4-wheeled vehicles such as cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. Bug guards could really come in handy when driving along construction areas as debris can continuously distract driving.
These bug guards protect the car's hood from 'deadly' debris that could easily damage the car's exterior. With a bug guard installed, it could be easier to drive the highways without getting a lot of disturbances.
Sleek and stylish designs of taillight and headlight covers give off an aggressive aura making it look somewhat not to be messed with. Driving debris again cause headlights a little scratch here and there, and that tapping sound they make can cause driver's hearts to skip a beat, fearing the condition their headlights are in. The invention of these lights' covers goes a long way in the maintenance of the car's overall appearance. And with the variety of designs for headlights and taillights cover that GT Styling Performance Parts offer, choosing could be hard but sure to be worth your while. The more modernized cars these days are equipped with sunroof for a more exciting and thrilling ride. But with the constant wind noise and other debris the wind carries with it, leaving the sunroof open could be troublesome and the sunroof has been concluded as better of closed. Sunroof deflectors came in and reduced the noise from th impact of the wind. It also deflected dusts and other unknown particles that ride the winds. This really makes passengers sit in comfort as they ride while enjoying their sunroof open. Turn lights are very important as these give the following driver a heads up on what the preceding car's next action or where it would turn next, which is specifically helpful for convoys.
Making sure turn lights are always in its best condition should also be one of the top priorities for drivers and the best thing to maintain it is to cover it up with another useful invention, turn lights cover. GT Styling has given turn lights cover an edge over others with the many designs one can choose from and the quality of protection these give. Wind reflectors, on the other hand, are vital for keeping the wind around the car in control while driving plus the factor that it gets the wind out of your face, making driving hassle-free. Side skirts are also one of the products of GT Styling Performance Parts and its role is to keep the wind under the car in control for better airflow. This would, in turn, ensure a smoother driving experience. GT Styling Performance Parts provide protection while not getting behind the call for a more fashionable look on the car's exterior

Hell for leather

Hell for leather by Emma Sells

Papillon bag, £275 from ToastPapillon bag, £275 by Chie MiharaAvailable from Toast
Much as the attention seeker in us enjoys stepping out in acid brights and colourful prints, we have to admit that we've fallen for this season's neutral colour palette. We're already investing in biscuit coloured shorts and mushroom cropped jackets with just a hint of metallic sheen, but we have yet to purchase a bag to fit in with the look. This gorgeous Papilon bag by Chie Mihara is top of our wishlist. We love the colour of the leather, the plaited and cut out details and it's slouchy feel. It makes us long for summer so that we can rock it with a floaty dress and sandals but in the meantime we plan to team it with our high-waisted jeans and wedges. Or alternatively jet of to somewhere much more exotic than here with it by our side.

Cotton Voyage into the Fashion World

Cotton has sustained its position as the most versatile fiber in the world, even after nearly eighty centuries. None of the other fiber has such characteristics to obtain amicable results which cotton has.

Cotton has several uses and a thousand faces, it is well known for its usefulness, look, presentation and above all the comfort it gives. It generates millions of employment as it moves from yarn to final products.

Prior to reaching our wardrobes, cotton goes on an extensively hectic voyage that takes it around the world. Several players are engaged in the each phases of production. The following is a brief outline of the cotton voyage in the textile industry.

Production of Yarn

Emerging technologies have resulted massive developments in the textile industry. Machines have been modernized and now many operations are fully automated with computerized systems. The speeds of machine have been substantially increased.

At many mills the opening of cotton bales is fully automated. Lint from bales is blended together to produce a uniform fiber properties. To make sure that the automated feeding machines performs in an efficient way and the properties of fibers are uniform, computerized system dictates the bales for production and feeding as per the fiber properties.

The mixed lint is blown by air via chutes to clean, and carding machines separate and brings fibers in line to a slender web. Carding machines can process cotton at 100 pounds an hour. Following the procedure, the web of fibers that are at the front of the card is driven into funnel-shaped equipment called a Trumpet, providing rope-like thread known as sliver.

At a time, eight threads of sliver are blended in the drawing process. In recent years, drawing speeds have increased considerably, which at present is beyond 1,500 feet a minute.

Then roving frames draw/draft the slivers out finer, adds a little twist – which makes it thinner and tighter in anticipation of attaining the yarn thickness/count required for weaving or knitting fabric.

Open-end spinning with rotors, which can spin 5-6 times faster then a ring spinning machine, are getting more admiration. In this process, the yarn is made straight from sliver, eliminating roving process.

Other spinning operations have also sweep off the requirement for roving, and limitation of ring and open-end spinning that is mechanical twisting. These systems utilize compressed air currents to steady the yarn.

These operations result tightly wounding of yarns around bobbins/tubes, as well as prepares the yarn for fabric manufacturing.
