Ugg Australia Women's Suburb Crochet Boots - Black, Heathered Brown

Women's Suburb Crochet boots from Ugg Australia in black or heathered brown. UGG® Australia is proud to introduce the Suburb Crochet, featuring a rich knit and suede upper detailed with a leather lace with a subtle fringe end. Finished with a lightweight EVA outsole with rubber pods for durability and traction.


Have you envied the strapless gown worn by Angelina Jolie on the Oscar night? Did it leave you wondering what it takes to keep the dress in place all the time? Certainly, you don't need a wardrobe malfunction to happen. Or, there must be a lot of safety pins involved that keep the dress in place.

Wrong! There is an unknown secret of the stars that you need to know. It's called Hollywood fashion tape and it is what keeps their dresses in place all the time.

It is a completely hypo allergenic solution and a safer alternative to safety pins. From hiding bra straps to securing extremely low revealing necklines, Hollywood fashion tape can do it all for you.

How it works

For something so effective, the working behind Hollywood fashion tape is extremely simple. With every pack of Hollywood fashion tape you get 36 pre-cut disposable strips each of 3 inches. The strips are double sided and have a removable backing on each side. When you peel off the backing, the adhesive on the tape will help you secure it firmly to your body.

The adhesive is extremely gentle on the skin and also doesn't leave any residue on the fabric. You then remove the other backing off the tape and then apply the dress that needs to be secured.

That's it. You are all set to go wherever you want and need not worry about the dress falling off at any point of time.

No more blouse gaps

This is precisely the reason why you do not see any blouse gaps on TV. Keep your wrap skirts wrapped and strapless tops in place with Hollywood fashion tape.

Even if you are looking for an emergency repair, this is a much easier and faster solution than a needle and a thread. As they say, you simply peel, stick and go.

If you own a motorcycle, then you should also own boots. Roughly 80% of all motorcycle accidents involve the rider's leg. By sporting motorcycle boots when you go riding, you have the ability to make both a fashion statement, as well as a safety statement. Of course, the function of the motorcycle boot is the most significant aspect, as it could literally become a lifesaver. However keeping your boots dry also improves the appearance of the footwear, and prolongs their lifespans. Here are some tips for caring for your Harley Davidson boots:

1. Dry your boots properly

Your boots can become wet through various ways, such as rain, stepping in deep water, wet grass, etc. Make sure that you dry your boots immediately, and not through means such as a hairdryer. Such methods could cause the leather to become stiff and to contract. In fact, make sure to provide much air circulation and minimum heat or no heat, when drying your boots.

2. Waterproof your boots

You might assume that motorcycle boots have already been pre-waterproofed. It is indeed true that particular boots designed for motorcyclists contain waterproofed liners. In other cases, the manufacturer of the boots has factory-treated the boots. However, even these boots will require waterproofing upkeep. A word of warning: before choosing a certain method for waterproofing your boots, be certain that it does not clash with the factory treatment.

Prior to waterproofing your boots, verify that they are first dry and clean. Use a damp cloth to remove tiny dirt particles, and a wet brush to remove heavy-duty dirt and grime. Some basic waterproofing materials include:

Beeswax

Lanolin

mineral oil

petroleum jelly

pitch and pine tar

silicone oil

These various materials fill up the fibers and pores of the leather, so water cannot penetrate them. The disadvantage of the majority of these treatments is that you must apply them frequently. That is because they become liquids in room temperatures.

3. Consider waxes with solvents for more permanent waterproofing

Why is this an effective blend? The solvent helps to prevent the wax from becoming a liquid, thus allow it to remain in the grains and pores of the boot.

4. Remove factory-waterproofing treatment before applying wax to chrome/oil-tanned leather

Removing the factory waterproofing treatment will allow the boot to retain the wax better. To remove the manufacturer's waterproofing, use a soft brush with a mild dishwashing liquid soap or a residue-free type of detergent. Afterwards, let the boots dry totally and then apply your own waterproofing (i.e. beeswax)

5. Use beeswax products for uses other than waterproofing

While beeswax products are effective in waterproofing motorcycle boots, you can also use them for general protection of leather. That includes rough, sanded, recycled, suede, and split leather. However, keep in mind that your boots will look (and smell) different.

Waterproof boots are vital whenever we hit the road with our motorcycles. Use these basic waterproofing guidelines to keep the water out, and the comfort in.

Women's Ugg Australia Bipster

Feel at home even if you're traveling with the Bipster slipper from UGG Australia. This update to the Roo slipper has a sheepskin upper and a decadent sheepskin footbed that naturally wicks moisture away and keeps feet dry and comfy. A rubber sole gives added durability and traction.


Neck ties can easily get damaged and soiled if you are not careful. You don't want to show up in a dinner party with a two-tone tie. Or present in a meeting with a wrinkled neckwear. You may not be aware, but your tie is your silent charm. It may sometimes stay in your suit but it is the "thing" that compliments you. So why not find time to treat it well?

Here are some simple tips which may help you keep your tie nice and neat:

USING AND STORING

Untie your neck tie in reverse procedure when taking it off. It should come off the way it went on.
Pulling the knot loose will damage it.
Do not leave your tie knotted when not in use. It can damage the tie and can cause permanent wrinkles.
Hang it on a rack designed for ties or in your closet. It helps prevent wrinkling the material. Do not use hangers because it will slip or twist and will fall off.
A knit tie should be gently rolled and stored in the drawer else it could be stretched. Roll it from the narrow end and leave it for a couple of days to easily remove wrinkles.
A silk tie will lose its wrinkles if placed in the closet hanging.
Do not store it out particularly in the light. It fades easily.
If you are going on a long business trip or traveling with ties in the luggage, prepare them properly. Loosely roll the ties and place them inside a pair of socks or use a tie case.
Do not wear similar tie everyday. It needs time to return to its normal shape.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING

Cut any loose thread on your tie with scissors. Do not pull them out. Pulling the thread will cause major damage to your tie.
Do not roll up your tie unless it's a knit tie. It will damage the lining inside.
Do not wash your tie. Most ties shrink unevenly when washed because the materials used inside the tie shrinks in different rates.
Do not dry-clean your tie. The inside material of the tie will get damaged. If the material is silk, it will lose its luster.
Do not press your tie. It can cause the surface flattened and the material shiny. However, if it's really necessary to press the tie, cover it with a cotton cloth then press on a low setting.
You can steam your tie to remove serious wrinkles. Hang it in the bathroom while showering or hold it over a boiling pot of water but do not let it touch the water.
Do not let any cologne get on your tie. It can damage its colour.
If it get stained do not rub it. It will cause abrasions and will loss its color. Instead blot the affected area and let it dry. Then, gently scrape the surface with a smooth cloth end or rub the small end of the tie on the stain.
If it gets more serious stains, use a spot remover or other mild cleaning agents. However, test it first on an old cloth or in an inconspicuous area (like, the back of your tie) to make sure the remover won't damage the tie.
Put a cover on your tie when you eat or prepare to replace it when it gets soiled.

Madrid and Milan has already banned models that are sized zero. Unfortunately, the London Fashion week organizers said that they will simple ask for healthier looking models, because the designers persist on using them, and such will not ban size zero models.

The average size for UK women is size 12, but more and more teen girls are walking on the runway which has a size zero figure (around a size 4 for American size). This may have a huge impact on our younger girls for they would no longer be happy and comfortable with the size they are in, seeing all those ultra thin models wearing the latest brands.

Luisel Ramos was an 18 year old Uruguay model, who died during Uruguay's Fashion week due to heart failure brought about by a starvation diet. This made the fashion capitals rethink what kind of image they are portraying to the people.

Madrid was one of the pioneer fashion capitals to ban ultra thin models, followed by Milan, which promised to encourage a healthier and more beautiful image. Jean Paul Gaultier actually traded the size zero models to models who were size 20 during the Paris Fashion Week.

The normal size 6 or 8 girls which are considered healthy may actually doubt themselves have a lower self esteem when they see the models who are size zero being regarded as models of beauty.

What matters is that you love yourself not minding what kind of size you are. Make sure you are comfortable with your own skin, whether you are a size 6, 12 or 20. The media should not dictate what is healthy by saying that size zero models are healthy.

Corsetry has been a part of fashion since at least the 16th century. While corsetry was once an expected daily activity, however, corsets today are generally worn as costume pieces, including as sexy underwear. The goal of a corset, both historically and today, is to create a stunning hourglass figure. Modern corsets are available in a wide range of styles, fabrics and colors. Some are even appropriate as outerwear.

Corsets are similar to bustiers in both design and function. The difference is largely one of degree. A bustier provides gentle shaping and enhancement of a woman's natural shape. A corset, however, can completely re-shape the figure, removing inches from the waist and greatly accentuating the bust and hips.

Historical corsets were worn every day and created very real changes in a woman's physical shape. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the smallest waist size ever recorded was 13 inches. This was accomplished through years of wearing tight-laced corsetry. Tight-laced corsets can, however, lead to dangerous consequences such as changes to internal organs and even broken ribs. Not all corsets were tight-laced, however, and many women found the secure fit of a corset to improve posture and even reduce back pain.

The modern use of a corset as sexy underwear or outerwear is not likely to cause permanent changes to a woman's body. However, a good corset that is properly fitted can easily remove two to four inches from the waistline simply through reasonably tight lacing. On a heavier woman, six inches can be achieved, although this is difficult for thin women to achieve.

A true corset is made of a flexible material and contains multiple strips of boning. Historical corsets often contained real bone, although today's corsets usually substitute either plastic or steel. Some corset tops of today mimic the look of corsets without actual boning strips of any sort. A corset generally extends from just under the bust to the top of the hips, although many of today's sexy corsets extend over the bust. Most corsets lace up the back, although some designs, particularly corset tops, lace up the front instead. The front is often closed with hook and eye or frog clips.

If your corset is an under-bust model, you can convert it into an outerwear garment by adding a soft fitted shirt underneath. Many women choose peasant style blouses with ruffled necklines, inspired by Medieval and Renaissance fashions. A corset that covers the bust, however, can be worn alone or with a jacket as a sexy top for evening wear.

In order to achieve a waist-cinching effect, you will need a corset that is exactly fitted to your size. Some corset makers recommend buying a corset with the waist size that you hope to achieve, such as a size 22 corset for a woman with a 24 inch waist. However, if comfort is a concern you may want to purchase a corset that is your size or even one size larger. Your waist will not be cinched, but your bust and hips will still appear enhanced.

Corsetry is currently popular as sexy womens underwear or outerwear. You can find corsets with or without boning as well as corset tops that mimic the look without actually cinching the waist. Proper fit of a corset is important, so be sure to take accurate measurements before purchasing your corset. Corsets are available in a wide range of colors, fabrics and styles, so you are certain to find one that is right for you.

When it comes to the word "rave" some people might think of loud bassy music, and glow sticks. However, for a lot of people they consider the word rave to be so much more than that. Hey, maybe I'm partial because I was into the whole rave thing a couple of years back when I was a young kid, or maybe I just can appreciate the rave culture. When it comes to rave products you don't have to be a raver to wear them; in fact these articles of clothing and accessories have been said to be incredibly fashionable and comfortable. Items include things like shirts, pants, (yes) glow sticks, belts, hats, gloves and so much more. Listed below I have picked out some of my very favorite items I have found available online! The clothing items truly are fun to wear, take a look at the first product on the list and tell me it doesn't make you smile!

Original Flash T-Qualizer Tee -

Electro-luminescent design shirts are becoming more and more popular, but this one really rocks because it reacts to sound. The classic EQ panel design is connected to a battery pack and is sound activated - so wear it in a pounding club and the EQ actually works! The lights flash up and down the EQ bars in time to loud pumping beats just like a real equalizer - now how cool is that? The Ts come in S, M and L and the battery pack is detachable so you can hand wash your T if the need arises. Now you can have rhythm and light up the dance floor without even trying! This item truly is awesome!

Ghast Brown Raver Pants -

I used to have something like this but mine were UFO! Ghast Cargo Drawstring Dance Pants (Brown) are used for a casual and sleek comfortable look. Whether out in a club, dance floor or just relaxing at home, these pants are for you. Made out of 65% polyester and 35% cotton they are also fully machine washable. Also, great for skateboarding, snowboarding or any other extreme sport out there. You can wear these pants all year round. Keeps you warm in the winter and relaxed in the summer.

Flash T-Spiral T Shirt -

Become a walking psychedelic light-show wherever you go with the T-Spiral T-Shirt, the latest club wear design from Flashwear, the people that brought you the ever-popular T-Qualizer Shirt. You will stand out for all the right reasons! Another awesome shirt!

Chrome Peace Sign Belt Buckle -

This is a cool little addition to your outfit; and hey, I'm all about peace. This easily attaches to any belt you want it to with a little clip on part on the back of the buckle plate, secure enough that it won't fall off but easy enough to where you won't have to fight to unclasp it! Other buckles include; spinning turntable, skulls, bullets, cassette tape, black grenade, boom box and more!

Kikwear: Kikgirl Brown Pants with Blue Contrast Stitching -

These pants are incredible comfortable and stylish looking. The brown is more of a dark coco and the blue is a sort of sky blue/periwinkle color. I looked on one site and these pants got a major rating by every single as being the best pants ever! Check them out!

LED Ring Lamps -

Yea, I had to add a glow stick item! These rings have a chrome metallic finish and each ring has one super bright LED in it. Each package includes 4 rings one of each color - blue, red, green and yellow. These are actual rings you place on your fingers!

As aforementioned and by seeing the products listed above, you don't always have to be a raver in order to buy or wear these types of clothing. Sometimes it really is just about being trendy or being comfortable in your own unique way. If you like the baggy pants, buy the baggy pants, if you like the belt buckles, buy the belt buckles! The rave clothing collection is all about making a statement about yourself and how you live! Be bold, live out loud! Enjoy life!

This author is a HUGE fan of rave clothing.

Don't you just love this time of year? I do! That feeling inside of knowing something special and beautiful is just around the corner. It's presence in the air is so strong that you almost feel as if you could reach your arms out to the sky and touch it with your fingertips. What is it that I am referring to you might ask? It's Spring-time!

Just recently, in my quiet time, I have been watching an old UK sitcom from the Seventies, called 'Butterflies. I have been thoroughly enjoying this exploration into the life of a bored house wife who, although, she loves her husband and two grown children very much, at the same time has an inner yearning for the excitement and spontaneity that she feels her life is lacking. And so the search begins within her soul to find the answers she is looking for.

I completely understand that wanting feeling and in a way winter being followed by its friend Spring describes the very essence of that inner yearning for more. For three months we feel the coolness that winter offers and as if the chill in the air is not already unpleasant enough, just as we begin to feel relieved and happy at the prospect that the end of winter is nearing, the sharp winds come from nowhere and cut you to the bone. All the while you are longing for something more than goose bumps and shivers and you hope that nature is bringing it your way sooner rather than later.

Then ever so suddenly you get out of bed one morning and you find that you do not have to rush to put your comforting dressing gown and ugg boots on. You look outside and you can see the sun shining; now I know the sun shines in winter too but for me the sun actually begins to take on a different aura at this time of year. It's as if the sun's rays are filled with a sense of calm and the gentle ever so slightly warm breeze that surrounds you is like a soft feather pillow caressing you. Can you feel it? Why not head outside and breathe it in while you can, because it only comes but once a year but would you not agree that it is more than worth the wait?!

I will leave you now with some words from the theme song to 'Butterflies' which was originally written and performed by Dolly Parton and then recorded by Clare Torry and a band conducted by the BBC's well-known composer Ronnie Hazlehurst for the series.

Love is like a butterfly
The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings
Love makes your heart feel strange inside
It flutters like soft wings in flight
Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing

Your laughter brings me sunshine
Everyday is spring time
And I am only happy when you are by my side
How precious is this love we share
How very precious, sweet and rare
Together we belong like daffodils and butterflies

A man with darker jeans is said to be more bold, mature and business like. The man with lighter jeans is said to be younger, more laid back and more social like.

The reason why darker jeans represents a more mature and business like man is because they are more expensive then lighter jeans. Emporio Armani, Calvin Klein, Dolce and Gabbanna, Pepe Jeans, Giorgio Armani, JL four, Gucci, Hugo boss,Armani jeans, Levi's etc... tend to produce more darker jeans rather the lighter jeans. Every man prefers to have jeans that possess a exceedingly unaffordable designer labels that are not that much sophisticated.

The simple fashion to a man is jeans as all men throw a nice pair of jeans on with a nice t-shirt and that is how they look so good.

Lighter jeans are so great as these send out sexual impulses and are more appealing to the women. A man can wear any designer make of light jeans as there is not that much variation so they can wear from a exclusive designer name like Luis Vutton all the way to Ben Sherman to a name that has never been mention before.

A label says everything that is why I personally think that it is important for all men to have decent designer labels even if it is something just like 'Animal'.

Many large companies have there designer name and at the end they will place the word jeans. These are the most favored designer names. In general I would say that the best designer names for jeans would be 'Calvin Klein' and 'Armani (Emporio and Giorgio) and the original Levis.

Women spend a lot of time and money trying to find an appropriate handbag for all occasions. However, there is one handbag that can be of use for any situation. That handbag is the Buxton Over the Shoulder Bag.

I can conserve much time and annoyance with regards to positioning my possessions into my bag with the use of the Buxton Over the Shoulder Handbag. I despise the fact that I essentially must complete a puzzle in order to withdraw a particular item from my bag. It is required of me to extract all of my items, and then reposition them into my bag, which is an unnecessary waste of time.

I am able to regain this lost time using the Buxton Organizer Bag. It permits me to easily access and accumulate my plethora of items. Containing precise pockets intended for items such as cell phones, cards, objects which must be secured, along with 6 additional pockets on the interior, the Buxton Handbag is easily able to maintain organization within its contents.

Glance at the bag that you currently use. How much can you actually fit in your handbag? Can you reach that credit card that is dwelling within the depths of your bag? What about that phone number you recently acquired yesterday? How often to you have to dump everything out to reach your keys?

One of my friends, Jasmine, was flabbergasted when I showed her my Buxton Shoulder Handbag. I showed her how many items that I kept in it and how easily I could retrieve them. She also liked how my Black Buxton Bag looked. I even showed her how the expandable zipper allowed me to put my water bottle in there with ease.

One thing about most cost-efficient handbags is the fact that they are heinous. However, the Buxton Organizer Bag is just the opposite. With Black, Tan, or Red genuine Buxton leather, you can rest assured that your handbag is quality and looks great. There is finally a handbag with both looks and functionality.

At first, I was a little skeptical - after all, a lot of infomercials are scams. However, out of some whim, I decided to purchase a Buxton Organizer Bag for myself. Once I tried it out, I was hooked. I am very content with the decision that I made to purchase this bag, and I promise you that you will be too.

Many people are already crazing over the Buxton Shoulder Bag and for great reasons. The Handbag looks awesome, serves the seemingly lost purpose of any handbag - to store your items. It is cost efficient and looks great. Check out the Buxton Organizer Bag for yourself.

The custom of wearing charm bracelets dates back thousands of years, and though the materials and designs on them have changed, the concept itself has never gone out of style.

This form of jewelry initially had a religous function, and dates back to the prehistoric era. According to Elizabeth Florence, president of the Jewelry Information Center, "The first charm bracelets were probably worn by the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians and Hittites from 500 to 400 B.C. Those charms were made of lapis lazuli, rock crystal and other gems and were inscribed with small designs, such as figures of gods, man and animals. They were immediately associated with special powers."

As time passed, charms lost their protective spiritual functions and became fashion jewelry. The 1890's saw a renaissance of charms, especially in Victorian England, where elaborate and intricate jewelry was in vogue. Queen Victoria helped popularize the trend by wearing a charm bracelet of small lockets holding family portraits.

WW II caused another revival of charm bracelets in America in the 1940's and 1950's, as soldiers stationed abroad picked up charms as souvenirs in the European cities they visited and brought them home for wives and girlfriends. The fashion trend continued well into peacetime.

Charms still remain a popular jewelry item, as personalized keepsakes in an increasingly mass-produced jewelry market. Popular themes include horoscope signs, birthstone charms, travel souvenirs, and family keepsakes. Many women start collecting charms when they are children, and the charm bracelet grows along with them, reflecting hobbies and personal experience. A charm bracelet can hold a small replica of a graduation cap, wedding bells, or lockets with children's photos.

Charms are also a popular gift because of their affordable price. An intricate silver charm can be obtained for less than ten dollars, though it is possible to spend hundreds of dollars on a charm made of 18K and set with gems.

Italian charms, a genre in and of themselves, do not dangle from a chain like traditional charms. Instead, they are soldered onto flat links which snap onto an extensible bracelet. They are embellished with letters, symbols, pictures or stones, or have enamel pictures painted on them. Charms can be snapped on and off these modular bracelets to create new configurations to match different moods and outfits. They are traditionally made of stainless steel or 18k gold. Italian charms are of the same standard size and the resulting bracelet can be customized to fit every wrist; a small size holds 17 or less links, a medium 18, and a large 19 or more.

There are different companies which produce Italian charms, but all brands can be interchanged on the same bracelet. The basic "starter" bracelet of blank links costs approximately five dollars, and the charms cost fifteen dollars and up. China also manufactures Italian charms, and while these are popular (and, as with most Chinese goods, very competitively priced), some consumers report occasional oddities such as reversed images and poor fit.

During the early days of nursing, there was no uniform for nursing. They only gained popularity when Florence Nightingale, one of the first women pioneers in the medical field, established the importance of wearing nursing uniforms during the Crimean war. The first nursing uniforms were dark-gray, full-length dresses covered by white aprons. Today, nurse uniforms take on many styles and functions for seeing to the safety and security of patients.

Over the years, nursing uniforms evolved. White dresses and hose were the standard garb, but when many complained because these were impractical and difficult to work in, white tunics and pants came about. These were more comfortable to wear and nurses could actually move around easily. Nowadays, most nurses wear colored uniforms and nurse scrubs. The colored uniforms and scrubs are more convenient, since dirt or stains cant easily be detected.

However, according to many critics, more patients are confused with colored uniforms and nurses cant be easily picked out from the rest of the hospital staff. That is why, many hospitals reinstated white nursing uniforms with a designer flair for style and comfort. These uniforms not only give patients a sense of security, but also give nurses a level of comfort and style that they expect in their day-to-day attire.

Nursing uniforms are indeed an effective way for patients to easily recognize the nurses who take care of them. Not only that, nursing uniforms give a sense of pride to the nurses who wear them, since they are just one symbol of their love and dedication to their profession.

With the variety in the fashion world oozing out into our lives, it was only a matter of time when people would be making use of the various designer wears and accessories. Designer handbags have become pretty popular these days, with several people trying to buy one for themselves. However, to have designer handbags with you is not enough, as along with it you have to face the challenge of maintaining it. If the designer handbags are not taken care of properly, they might be rendered useless in a few days time. By following these guidelines, hopefully you can keep your handbags as good as new:

1. The primary objective, while using a designer handbag is to make sure that you use them with utmost vigilance. This would allow you to keep track of anything wrong happening to your bag and will allow you to cater to the problem as soon as possible.

2. Do take notice that, it is highly risky to carry certain ingredients in your bag like that of oil based substances, any edibles, or make up for that matter. By carrying these in your bag you are enhancing the risk of getting your bag stained with these substances, which could be hard to get rid off.

3. Always try and use damp soft cloth or tissues to take care of your leather bag stains, which do not come off pretty easily and could be a big headache. Under such conditions you may also look out for any particular cleaners that might help you to clean the bag, without damaging the coloring.

4. It is easier to remove the stains with the nylon bags, as they are resistant to water, and furthermore we could be looking forward to use preventive measures, like spraying ScotchGuard or Teflon. It must be noted that people make use of any household products to cleanse their nylon bags; but if scrubbed too hard, the bag may be discolored at places.

5. When you purchase a cloth handbag, it is very difficult to maintain, as you are always scared of it being torn at slight nudge at the corners. Moreover, if the cloth-bags are stained, make sure that you send them over to a trusted dry cleaner rather than doing it yourself, because slightest roughness may damage the bag for good.

6. At times, your handbags may have metal fixings to them, which tend to dull out in due course, thus making the bag look shabby. It would be better, if you were to cleanse them from time to time to get the luster back.

7. Make sure you remove every thing from your bag, if there is any seepage of water and take care of the situation as quickly as possible, to last it for a longer period of time.

UGG Saxony - Men's

Slip into your UGG Saxony boots and get ready for an adventure in the rain. These boots are made with a waterproof leather upper, breathable E-vent membrane, sheepskin lining and cork-infused rubber outsole.


Okay, I don't know if you have noticed but almost every single teenager I see is wearing Ugg slippers. Not just the girls, but now the boys, too!

These are your basic sheepskin slip-ons kind of slippers for the girls. And the boys like what we used to call (man does this date me) moccasin slippers. Of course, the only name in sheepskin is Uggs.

You might recognize the name - they are the makers of those Australian sheepskin boots that have been off-the-chart popular for a few years - they're back again this year. Ugg boots worn with leggings or skinny jeans tucked in and a big bulky sweater are the hit!

But in all fairness, these are cool, fashionable and even comfy shoes. You must treat yourself at the end of a long day (or at the beginning!) with these. A popular style is Scuffette UGG Slippers. They're made of soft, cozy sheepskin that keeps your feet warm during winter months and offers moisture-wicking comfort in the summer.

The slip-ons are classy with the sheepskin cuffs and cool stitching on the top. The soles are made out of suede and have the UGG logo on the slipper, which is a great place for all to see.

Check on the status of your Ugg boots at the same time. May as well get these marked of your 'need to have' list too. Especially since the cold and snow are knocking on the door. I have seen these worn with shorts and skirts in the summer and man are they sexy!

Now I must go on record saying I never give into the teens age old adage "Mom I won't fit in if I don't have them". So in order to maintain my respectability as a parent, I will concede because they are sensible shoe wear. (And boy are they cute!)

Find all the popular styles of Ugg Boots and Ugg Slippers at hotshoeshopping.com - your one-stop website for not only Ugg Boots and Ugg Slippers but all the hottest brands like Jessica Simpson Women's Shoes, Carlos Santana Shoes, Delicious Boots, and Ed Hardy Women's Shoes.

When you are in a place where you are thinking about the image that you present and the type of lifestyle that you lead, you may find that your choice of timepiece has more to say about it than you might believe! Divers watches are showing up everywhere, and you will discover that you are seeing them in the boardroom, at the gym, and even in the movies!

A divers watch, which is also known as a diving watch, is essentially a wrist watch that meets the specific needs of professionals in water sports and features heightened water resistance. Where a normal watch is only good for about 100 meters down, a divers watch will be good for at least 200 to 300 meters. Even this impressive feat is often surpassed when you realize that there are plenty of great watches will allow you to go even farther down. These watches really go the distance, and they can present a strong sense of the person that you are.

You will find, however, that you don't have to love diving or even snorkeling to want to wear a divers watch. These watches are known to be tough, sleek and extremely durable, and when you are someone who lives a life where you are going to need any of these qualities, this is the watch for you. If you spend any time in the water at all, you will find choosing the right kinds of water sport watches can be instrumental to having your fun, getting your workout and still being on time for that meeting or that hot date.

For men who love the James Bond franchises, divers watches like the Rolex Submariner and the Omega Seamaster are instantly recognizable. The spy with a license to kill certainly depends on his time piece, and though you might not get the fun equipment that his are typically packaged with, you can't deny that you'll still get a terrific watch! The association of these gorgeous watches with the James Bond movies have only deepened their appeal, and when you are thinking about getting a time piece that reflects your attitude towards life and danger, this is the one that you need to choose.

Remember that a divers watch is as much an accessory as it is a great diving tool. You will find that people who wear divers watches are typically known as both strong and active and you can bet that it's a sure fire conversation starter. There are plenty of reasons to choose a diving watch as your personal watch, so keep in mind its appeal. It's sleek, it's tough, and it has a sophisticated charm that is made to impress!

Customer Review: He LOVES these!
I bought these for my husband for valentines day and he wears them at all times when he's in the house. Sometime's he forgets he's wearing house slippers and forgets to take them off when venturing outside. We live in Hawaii and it doesn't really ever get cold here but the slippers are light weight enough to still wear and not get sweaty feet. He loves them so much that he takes them with him on business trips; I think that says a lot.
Customer Review: Uggs made a believer out of my man!
My guy always boasted that he never wore slippers...didn't see a reason to in a world of plentiful socks. I convinced him, you'll not only wear these, you will love wearing them. He opened the package Christmas morning and has had them on ever since...except when he's on his way to the office! They're gorgeous and super comfortable.


The Men's Pea Coat: Never a Trend Victim

Any functional jacket that keeps you warm and comfortable essentially covers the requirements of a suitable winter covering, but what about the men who want to be "ridiculously good-looking" at the same time?

"There's just something about cold weather and a well-made coat that makes a man look sexy. I can't really tell you why, I can only tell you the right coat gives a man bulk - which makes him look powerful on a subconscious level." - Isabella Snow

Your jacket will be the first thing people see when you step out of a room and into the cold this fall. A jacket can be considered the wrapping paper of your outfit. Not having the proper coat can ruin what can otherwise be a choice outfit, and can make your otherwise well put together wardrobe choices underneath look like a mess. To be as presentable and fashionable as possible, you want to keep that jacket stylish. Most of all, you want it to convey your unique personality, along with your access to resources.

The pea coat was originally worn by sailors of the European navies, which makes it no wonder the style would cut an impressive figure. Pea coats always manage to make any man looked refined. It's clean-cut but still carries that tough masculine weight with it.

The men's pea coat, having long been a men's fashion staple since updated by Burberry in 1901, the pea coat still occupies its own impenetrable niche in men`s fashion. This season shows no difference in the affinity for trench coats, but as fabrics and styles update, so must this classic piece. Shorter lengths and lighter fabrics gave the trench a contemporary feel. Of course there is nothing wrong with the classic - which can be paired with everything from suits to jeans and a t-shirt.

This season is an easy opportunity to pick up a piece that for once doesn't require any layering, but rather sits on top of it all. The men's pea coat will be the finishing touch on your daywear and will translate beautifully into night time wearing.

True die hard Vera Bradley addicts line up by the thousands to attend the annual outlet sale hosted by this Fort Wayne based company. Many travel several hundred miles or more just to attend. But are the deals really that great? How about the selection?

I attended the 2008 Vera Bradley Outlet Sale with these questions in mind. I was pleasantly surprised by some aspects of the sale, and admittedly disappointed with others, as you will see in this review. Although a lifelong resident of the Fort Wayne area, the corporate home of the Vera Bradley company and venue for the spring outlet sale for the past several years, I made it a point to avoid the sale. Despite the fact that I adore Vera Bradley products, I kept my distance, for the same reason that I avoid the shopping malls the day after Thanksgiving. I imagined shoppers racing into the sale to duke it out over the best bargains. Also, the idea of sifting through tables laden with a mix of Vera Bradley products sounded too much like a rummage sale to me. On top of that, being the impatient person that I am, I did not want to even think about the lines to check out.

As soon as I entered the sale, all preconceived notions I had regarding the sale vanished. I was greeted at the door by a pleasant lady, who handed me a large pink plastic bag and a list of the products available for purchase at the sale. The list, complete with pictures, included the discounted prices, as well as clearly identified where the products were located.

There were countless numbers of employees working to keep everything organized. If a customer picked up a Vera Bradley backpack and carelessly laid it down with the diaper bags, a worker was there to move it back to the backpack table. There were also several bins and carts placed around the sale, and customers were encouraged to place any castoffs in them, in order to keep the product tables organized.

Although the sale was crowded, most customers were upbeat and polite. Customers would fill up their pink plastic bags with their potential Vera Bradley purchases, and then move off to the perimeters of the sale to spread out the contents and make final decisions regarding what to keep.

To check out, I was redirected to another room. Sixty cash registers lined the room, and two to three employees worked at each cash register. One person would organize the purchases and hand them to the cashier, who would ring up the purchases, then hand them off to a third person, who would bag the purchases. All in all, the checkout process took only 10-15 minutes, which considering the number of attendees at the sale, was very quick.

The selection at the sale was decent. Most of the items were recently retired colors and discontinued styles. For shoppers looking for the new styles and colors, the pickings were slim, and I heard a few remarking that they were disappointed that they could not find their favorite bag in their favorite color. Although I attended the first night of the sale, there was plenty to choose from. The tables were continually restocked. I also overheard an employee who stated that they had several additional trucks that were yet to be unloaded.

For me, the biggest disappointment of the Vera Bradley sale was the prices. I knew the bags and accessories would be marked down 25% to 75%, however, my hope was that I could pick up a thousand dollars of product for a couple hundred bucks. Most items were reduced approximately 30-40%, but I have been able to pick up similar discount Vera Bradley bags online, without ever having to leave the comfort of my own home.

Would I attend the Vera Bradley outlet sale again? It's likely. The sale was well-organized and fun to attend. It's also just a twenty minute drive from my house. However, if I lived several hours, I do not think I would make the road trip. Sure, the prices were good - they just were not great.

Shopping for Alpaca sweaters is not like going to a department store, crossing your fingers and searching through racks and racks of clothing just to find one comfortable, warm and flattering sweater in your size and favorite color. On the contrary, when you're browsing through Alpaca sweaters (no finger crossing necessary) you should know that every sweater, regardless of style, color or size, will be comfortable, warm and beautifully flattering. What you're really shopping for is the look that you will want to wear season after season.

If you've never graced your skin with the softness that is Alpaca, you're in for a treat. Alpaca wool comes from the Peruvian mammal famous for the lustrous and natural beauty of its wool. Most Alpaca sweaters are made of 100% Royal Alpaca or 100% Baby Alpaca. The types do not reflect the age or royal lineage of the Alpaca, but rather the quality and size of the fibers. Other sweaters are made of an Alpaca/Silk mix or an Alpaca/Pima Cotton blend. With either, you are not sacrificing comfort as both are as luxuriously sumptuous as 100% Alpaca fibers.

Stylish sweater styles

For every event and occasion, there is an Alpaca sweater for you thanks to a wide range of classic, timeless styles. Each is crafted to be fitted, comfortable and endurably warm. Due to the quality of Alpaca fibers, you'll be enjoying your sweater for years without any worry of wear and tear. Alpaca wool is wrinkle and waterproof.

Long-sleeved

Alpaca offers several long-sleeved sweaters, perfect for a chilly night out on the town or a weekend up in the mountains. While this sweater will undoubtedly keep you warm, it will not stifle you as some sweaters have a tendency to do. This is again due to the unique quality of Alpaca fibers which both insulates and breathes like no other material.

Short Sleeve

A short sleeve sweater is the kind of key piece of clothing that never goes out of style. This must-have item comes in a variety of colors and classic looks for every shopper.

Crew Neck

A crew neck sweater is a classic item for any wardrobe. Most of these styles are made exclusively of Alpaca fibers, with the exception of a few Alpaca/Silk mixes.

V-Neck

If you prefer a different look than that of the crew sweater, then look no further than our selection of beautifully made, fitted v-neck sweaters. These sweaters are made to flatter, fit and keep you warm all season long.

Cardigan

Cardigans are one of the most timeless items for any year-long wardrobe. Whether it's part of a casual outfit or dressing up a look with an elegant chic add-on, you simply can't go wrong with an Alpaca cardigan.

Find your look with Alpaca sweaters

Alpaca clothing is about feeling beautiful and comfortable in what you're wearing. This kind of wool is made to spoil your skin with softness and warmth and looking chic is an added benefit. Find your style with Alpaca sweaters and enjoy every minute of warmth, comfort and beauty.
