Buyer's Experience: iFrogz

I recently shopped for new pair of earphones, and I am here to report my findings! There's this cool company called iFrogz that allows you to "build" your earphones according to your personal taste, and they're really high-quality to boot. Check out my experience buying (and using) iFrogz.

Earphones

Convenience

One of my favorite things about the iFrogz shopping experience is the ease at which you can choose your design. Because they have a 20+ image gallery of different styles from which to choose, you don't have problems picking out the right colors that go together, as well as the proper designs to match. The headband, ear cushions, speakers, and sidepieces are all customizable.

Quality

The colors on the earphones are really bright, and the speakers are plasticized to ward off scratching and damage. The sound quality is impressive, particularly if you make the switch from ear buds to traditional, full-ear earphones. I have iPod Apple earbuds, but I still enjoyed using iFrogz earphones.

Style

Fashion lover at heart? Mix colors and patterns, including metallics, for a pretty cool effect. I chose a bright yellow sidepiece design with a whimsical earphone pattern in pink and blue. It was an unexpected combination, but one that I picked up on from checking out all the pics. You should do it, too-- it's easy research, since the photos run as you select your design.

Cost

Speakers cost a respectable $34.99 and could easily be priced $10-15 more expensive without too much consumer backlash. I think that the sound and style adds novelty appeal, which makes the price point particularly attractive.

Overall Experience

The check-out procedure at iFrogz is simple and enjoyable. Click, click, and your done--and their shipping is really fast, too. If I were going to give them a rating, I would say that they deserve an "8" overall.

Delias for Teens

I have revisited Delia's after a hiatus, and things are looking great, as usual... except everything is fresh and new, of course. I've been checking out Delia's since I was in my teens, and they're a never-fail stop for junior's shopping and deal hunters.

Want a peek at what's hot?

These bikini bottoms feature a curve-hugging style that's as sexy as it is playful, and it is all toned down for a teen audience. The color is vibrant and trendy, and those tiny design details make this a perfect "10."

Wheee! This jacket has an amazing silhouette that's just begging to be worn with skirts, dresses, and other fun pieces. When you're in the mood for something slouchy and relaxed, this could be your go-to piece. For mom-daughter teams, this is an awesome matching selection.

Beaded items are my personal weakness: if you choose pieces that are well-constructed, they look twice as expensive and have twice the impact.eShakti is my favorite for embellished items, but this particular item is an amazing find! Buy it, because I haven't seen something this great in a while!

Flouncy, flirty, and fun: this is a perfect skirt for teens and juniors in general. It has a prerequisite short thing going on, but the silhouette is a little trendier and more hip than one might imagine. The color is tops, too, and would look particularly amazing with afairisle sweater.

These jeans have a clean look even for skinnies, and they are available in fun teen colors. Surprise someone with a gift that is so "them"... in lilac, perhaps?
