Logo Love

Boots can be about fashion just as much as they are about keeping your feet safe and warm.  They come in all shapes and sizes, but for those who want to make a statement that no one can miss, there are boots that scream designer in no uncertain terms.

Take for example the Coach “Joyous” boot.  Granted, it may not be for everyone.  For one thing, the cuff is made from rabbit fur, and there are quite a few people these days that are not at all interested in supporting the fur industry.  But even if you aren’t necessarily concerned about saving the bunnies, you may not be the type who wants everyone to know just how much you love Coach.

As if the logo canvas were not enough, the huge Coach medallion on the side could just very possibly be considered overkill.  Let’s face it, if you’re Read more

Blue Boots, Baby!

Ninety percent of boots are either black or brown.  It stands to reason, because they are often worn in the fall and winter months when both wardrobes and the weather tend to be dark and heavy.  But boots aren’t just about keeping your feet dry.  They can rock a simple skirt or black denim jeans; and they can give you a look that is all about being sexy and tough--especially when they break the color mold.

What do you get when you combine two of this year’s hottest trends:  royal blue and ombre shading; add a snakeskin pattern; and bring it all together with a simple sexy design?  Why, the Charles David Misha ankle boot, of course!  Get ready to have complete strangers run up to you begging to know where you found these.  They are as unique as they are beautiful.

Italian made with a 3 ¾” heel and an elasticized inset, it is a testament to creative shoe design.  The metallic blue leather makes it look like something from the distant future, but the shape of the boot is classic enough to satisfy even the most devout fashion traditionalist.  Forget about black or brown boots—how Read more

Winter Hair Care Tips

You want your hair to be healthy and beautiful year round, but during the winter months it is exposed to so many elements, it is important to take a few extra steps to ensure it is protected.

The easiest thing you can do is keep it covered when you go outdoors.  A hat or a scarf will limit the amount of cold and wind that your hair is exposed to.  Just be careful not to wear anything too tight because you want to make sure you keep a health scalp circulation.

Use a good conditioner each day, and consider doing a deep condition at least once a week.  You can buy a heavy conditioner at your local beauty supply store, apply it to your hair, and then cover it with plastic for 20-30 minutes, allowing Read more

Four Steps to Natural Pore Reduction

One of the most common complaints that women have when they go to their aestheticians is large pores.  This affliction can cause the skin to look uneven, and can contribute to breakouts.  Millions of dollars are spent every year trying to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, but there is a very simple and all natural pore reduction method you should try before you get out your credit card.

1. The first thing you want to do is give up on those harsh, abrasive cleanser and toners.  They may work for a few days, but overall they are doing nothing but stripping your skin of essential oils, drying it out, and making you more susceptible to breakouts, fine lines and wrinkles, and even skin cancer.  Instead, opt for a natural, gentle cleanser with few additives and use it twice a day with warm water.  Follow with a light moisturizer that moisturizes yet still allows your skin to breathe.
