Welcome to my blog!

Hi there! I'm Irish Ingrid, The Wise King owner. I am a full time sociology major, political science minor student who owns and runs an online custom design tshirt shop. http://www.thewiseking.com I also write for Helium.com, blog, volunteer, and donate 10% of all my profit to whatever charity is currently in need. It seems we won't be running out of those anytime soon, unfortunately.

Celebrity Fashion Out, Individual Style In


Let us all thank the fashion gods that celebrity fashion is out and individual style is in! Why would I want to wear something that promotes someone who's already rich and famous? Today, we can design our own clothing with our identity statements or political beliefs or just something darn hilarious. If you own a company or play for a team, you can make it your own.
Also in fashion news, this Spring calls for bold color pairings. Try out navy blue and bright green - it's really popping! Though the colors are bold, the accessories aren't as much. Fashion experts advise classic, timeless pieces that are long lasting. Pretty much any traditional silver, gold, or pearl jewelry with the classic leather clutches will do.
That's it for now! Stay trendy and hot kids!

Tuesday in Fashion, Volunteering and Current Events

Good Day Everyone! Please be sure to check out the Create and Donate group on my Facebook.
As you all know, the philosophy at The Wise King is to generate messages, promote individual creativity, volunteer and donate to further worthy causes using tshirts and hoodies. Though we are open minded to the global social village, there is a line! It seems other online tshirt shops have had the misfortune of someone designing Hate Messages on tshirts around the world. See the link below:

Also in the news today, apparently people are tired of merchants charity drives. Believe it or not, I couldn't agree more. It seems everywhere we go, not only does someone want something from you, but they want more on top of it! I think I speak for most people when I say: keep things simple, especially if you want people to be generous!

Finally, the devastation in Chile continues. Looting, tremors and waves further the rescue mission.

Chile and Haiti

Hello all. It seems we've yet another natural disaster to pray for, help with and donate to. Remember, with every burden comes a blessing and visa versa.
Though Chile was better prepared than Haiti for such an earthquake, there is still work to be done, people to rescue, feed and heal. Many American charity organizations are en route now to South America. Be generous with your donations!
