Cactus Fashion & Decor: Desert Vibes for You & Your Home

Cactus and succulent pattern t-shirt and home decorations have been popular since 2016 however this year the market has exploded and it seems that the prickly pear cactus and slogan t-shirts with “Don’t touch this” or “Go sit on a cactus” is everywhere you look.

The cactus print is a hot trend and if you are somebody who enjoys dressing trendy or decorating your home with the latest décor looks then you need to shop for products with cactus design. Know that it does not look like the cactus trend is going to go south for the winter. While shopping at the mall this week I saw that many stores are getting ready for back to school and are starting to stock their shelves with fall looks and the cactus was viewed on school supplies and t-shirts for kids.

If you are a crazy plant lady or just somebody who likes cool prickly plant designs then check out these watercolor-illustrated cactus tees, accessories, and home décor finds.

Spring Style Black and White Fashion Look

I am a fan of dressing in black and white because it has a classy look that is always in fashion.

 Black is a must-have color in my closet and I like to coordinate black tops, bottoms, and dresses it with a variety of colors. This year I designed some basic black and white accessories that have been accented with the color red. These three colors work very well together. The red color gives the black and white a pop of color that looks fabulous.

Here is my spring-style black and white textile design.

The design features a black and white stripe with a border of red tulips. The spring style accessories. tote bag, minx nail covers, and slip-on sneakers (see below)  are perfect for this black outfit. I would suggest that you wear Minx red tulip nail covers or red nail polish and of course, red lipstick to complete the fashion look.

Wear this spring-style fashion outfit for everyday events, such as shopping, going to lunch, running errands, or for a casual date or lunch meet-up.

Here are the products from the spring style fashion set (shown above)

Minx Nail Wraps Review

Accessorize your fashion look with Minx's nail wraps. Wear the wrap with polish, under acrylic, or on your natural nails. Minx's nails are a great way to get extra shine and style while protecting your nails from drying out, becoming brittle, or being stained.

I like that I can wear a flexible polymer film nail wrap without the application of acrylic gel or nail polish and that my nails will be protected from breakage and splitting. I also liked that the application only needed heat from my hair dryer to shrink the wraps.

However, even though the benefits of wearing nail wraps were positive I was hesitant because I thought they would be difficult to apply to my nails.

I mentioned my concern to one of my friends and she told me that she loved the Minx nail wraps. Said wearing them made her fingers and toes look fashionable and that I should watch the how-to video a few times. She assured me that there was no reason to go to a manicurist. Even if I made a mistake I could reheat the film with my hairdryer and reapply to my nail until I perfected the application.

Know that it is a little tricky putting the wraps on your nails but once you do it a few times you are an expert. Learn how to Minx with co-founder, Janice Jordan and bring fashion to your fingertips

I love Minx nail wraps because they are fashion looks for my fingers and the prints will coordinate with my painted toes.

Coordinate the nail color or pattern to go with your bridesmaid dresses or wear the nail wraps for a holiday or other special occasion.

Cat Pattern Ties for Men

When comes to dressing up for the office or special event men will put on a cat print tie because they do not mind showing off that real men love cats. My husband has a drawer full of cat pattern ties He likes to wear one I made from him from a photograph of our Siamese cat but for meetings or power lunches, he will put on his black and white leopard print tie or other animal print. I am not sure but I think he feels more confident, in his black suit with his big cat fashion tie.

Classic Styled neckties

Know that you can rarely find a cat pattern necktie at the mall, those stores have mostly generic-looking ties for men. If you want a tie that is interesting then you need to shop online at a print-on-demand store like Zazzle. The ties are created by some talented painters, photographers, and graphic design artists. There is no such thing as a boring fashion tie at Zazzle.

Here are a few of my favorite big and domestic cat fashion ties.  *Know that when you buy a tie from this page, you will be supporting a small business

Gone Fishing – Menswear

Many men prefer to dress in t-shirts and khakis or jeans, they will go to their closet and pull out a plain Hanes tee, and “getting dressed” is done. I am married to a man who dresses like this and prefers that he wear a pattern on his shirt. So I designed a line of shirts for men. Here is a menswear tee that I refer to as “gone fishing”

Gone Fishing by sgolis 

This men’s tee is a loose-fitting shirt that is perfect for men who are active. It is made from 100% cotton and is a heavier weight, not paper-thin but a good weight that appeals to men who prefer a shirt that is more durable. This shirt is perfect for working out in the yard or for wearing to go fishing.

Gone Fishing Men's Basic Tan T-Shirt

by Susang6

My husband likes this quality-made shirt with double-needle stitching on the sleeve, neck, and bottom. The shirt wears well and is one of my husband's favorites.

My husband weighs 152 and is 5’11. He wears a medium and the fit is loose and comfortable. 

We laundered this shirt in cold water, a permanent press cycle, and dried it on low heat. Took out of the dryer when the shirt was damp, shook it, and put it on a hanger. It did not shrink and looks as good as new.

Cozy Fleece Blankets for Pets

Today I shopped at Zazzle and found cute fleece blankets with animal prints for cats or dogs. The blankets shown are small fleece sizes for babies and there are also stroller blankets which are the perfect size for the cat carrier, kitten box, or to set on a chair cushion for a small cat to lie on.

I thought this blanket would be a good way to protect my chair from pet hair. Plus a good way to keep a cat or dog warm and cozy during the winter months.

Here is the design that I like. The pink cat and dog pattern is adorable and there is an area to add the pet's name or other words. My friend got a new Pomeranian and this blanket would make a darling gift for her new dog.

The pet blankets are available in larger sizes at Zazzle. The larger sizes are useful in cool rooms or in garages. 

Fold the blanket over and lie on the floor and this will prevent the cat or dog from feeling cold. If you have to take your cat to the veterinarian then cover their carrier with the blanket and the cat will feel less anxious while riding in the car.

Cats may be hesitant about lying on the blanket so I would recommend that you spray it lightly with liquid catnip and your cat will love the fleece blanket. When the kitty approves then they will think of the blanket as theirs. 



Shop at Zazzle for the baby blankets because this size is perfect for a small dog or cat they are the perfect size 39’ in length by 28-inch width. the print is on one side and the back is a solid color. 

The blanket is made from 100% polyester fleece that is soft to the touch. When my cat is cold she will lie under the fleece blanket.

Know that if you prefer to design your own pet blanket you would click on the link under the product image (see below) and customize the blanket with your own text.

Disney Mickey and Minnie Gift Ideas

Disney Mickey and Minnie products are loved by young and old because they bring out the kid in us and also create a happy memory. Whenever I see a Mickey and Minnie or other mouse products I always think of the time I went to Disney World with my family and I remember wearing mouse ears, a mouse pattern t-shirt, and those cute mouse pattern sneakers. For me, a Disney gift is as American as apple pie and it is a gift that guarantees a smile.
