OMG U Will <3 LOL Trends :)
If you can read that headline, have I got a fashion line for you!
Merrick resident and mom, Rebecca Braunstein, may be the next big thing to come out of this town. You’ve all seen your kids texting, and I find myself doing it all the time too – so why not express it on a hoodie, yoga pants or a T-shirt. That’s the idea behind LOL Trends:), a clothing line Braunstein runs online at www.loltrends.com. For those readers not familiar with texting jargon, here's a glimpse:
OMG means, oh my gosh.
TTYL means, talk to you later.
LOL means, laugh(ing) out loud.
Mrs. Braunstein, wife of Lou (a lifelong Merokian), has a background in sales and graphic design. She combined these two strengths and launched this line. Inspired by her son David’s knack for texting and daughter Melissa’s love of fashion, she embarked on this new venture.
“I had a vision to bring fashion and a trendy concept together. With more than 270 million people texting regularly, LOL Trends :) came out with this philosophy, “You text it, you wear it.”
The clothing for now is available exclusively online, but after a recent viewing at the Broadway Mall, Hicksville, some stores expressed interest in showcasing her line. But you don’t have to wait for that – she’ll have her clothing on display at the Merrick KidsFest, April 24 and 25.
