They also feature metal frames for those who like a much lighter look.

WINTER FASHION'S BEST BET


Here are 5 things to remember this winter.......

Ready for some fashion, but not quite ready for spring clothes yet? Don't be tempted to blow your budget on winter clearance items that you may never wear. Stick with timeless finds and you'll enjoy your smart picks for years to come.

Source:
http://fashion.about.com/cs/fallwinter/tp/trendproof.htm

1. Cashmere Turtlenecks
This classic look never goes out of stye. You can get these for a great price now that the Holiday season comes to a close. And you can wear it for years to come. Its a great look that goes with pretty much everything.

2. Leather Boots
These are a winter essential but you can wear them too throughout the year. Remember that Brown, Black and Tan go with pretty much anything you have in your wardrobe. This is a flexible addition to your every day wear.

3. Wool Coat
The workhorse of the winter wardrobe, a good wool overcoat is a major investment (even on sale). Choose hip to mid-thigh lengths if your wardrobe consists of pants; mid-calf or longer will cover skirts and looks dressier. Look for neutral colors (navy, black, camel, tweeds) for the most mileage.

4. White Blouse
This is a very versatile piece of clothing that you can wear with a jacket or alone. You can even wear these with a pair of jeans, (both new or retro) and you will look great.

5. Cocktail Dress
Now that the Holidays are behind us you can get some great deals on this. You can wear them all year long. But please keep in mind to lay off the velvet. That can look out of place in the warmer months.

Think YOU Have A Bad Hair Day?

Count Your Blessings.....

The scathing rant of the blog, "Bad Hair Day" is terrifying, obnoxious and hilarious. From Tom Hanks to Jessica Simpson no one is safe. The comments are right on the money and chances are pretty high that you will get a smile on your face.

http://badhairday.typepad.com/

PROCEED WITH CAUTION: These are tastefully written. If you find yourself reading these in your office cubicle you could find yourself getting wrapped up in it for more than five minutes. And please please please keep the laughter to a minimum.

GAP GOES ONLINE WITH SHOE STORE




In the Big 80's I purchased a pair of socks from the Gap, no big deal, but when I got them home I noticed that these were well constructed socks. In fact, I got a case of happy feet. So like a good customer I went back to the Gap store where I purchased them and told the cashier my good news. The cashier cocked an eyebrown and sneered without saying a word as if I had just lost my mind. Strange reaction.

Well, now the tables are turned and I got the same sort of reaction to their latest offering. Piperlime. The name really doesn't seem to work for me. Sand pipers? limes? Shoes. Hmmmm

I still don't quite understand.

But the shoes are nice. They sell a wide variety of shoes including the Effie, Grand Jams Unlimited and the all new Slate Calf Height Boot which looks fine if you're about to conquer K9. But since there isn't much snow on the ground as of late you may want to go with the more fashionable Agogo by Dilba. Then of course you got your Rockports and Steve Maddens etc.

For the guys there are some smart looking footwear by Kenneth Cole. I actually prefer the street boots by Cole as opposed to the Doc Martens, (I still will always wear Docs of course) the Kenneth Cole boots have a distinct look about them. They appear somewhat dressy but yet are a great street boot.

Ah... but anyways.... Why make a shoestore online? Its puzzling. Its got a lot of fashion critics puzzled too. When you get a chance you can check them out here.....

LAST CHANCE FOR OPI 25TH ANNIVERSARY


Last chance to get the OPI 25th Anniversary collection!!!

This is what Suzi Weiss-Fischmann had to say about this amazing collection......

"THE BEAUTY Fall’s beauty color palette is very sophisticated, with shades ranging from warm brick reds, rich browns and sweet toffees, to lighter shades of nature and earth – wheat, sand, cement, gray, moss. Opulent, deep jewel tones of ruby, garnet, amethyst and emerald glow, with nails and lips echoing tones of velvety red, purple, wine, fig and grape. Cheeks are subtle, while hair is softly curled or worn in jeweled chignons. Cool metallics make an appearance.
THE FASHION Fashion offers the timeless elegance of an era like the Forties, but loosened up for today’s busy woman and her active lifestyle. It draws its inspiration from a myriad of luxurious styles, including Victorian, Jazz Age, the opulent Eighties, and touches of menswear – contrasted by a chic, spare look taken from urban streets."
Source, OPI Fashion Forecast

You may want to stock up on these dazzling colors just for yourself. Thats right! You may not want to share them or sell them to anyone else! The time is limited as these colors will be gone gone gone.
