Skechers a Fabulous Casual Footwear Experience

This is a Great Casual and Athletic Footwear Online Store

   The shoes that I like are comfortable and are easy to put on. Style and comfort are always possible when you put on a pair of Skechers. A comfortable and stylish pair of Skechers is also affordable and often are on sale.

   Walking shoes are different than running shoes. Skechers has a wide assortment of both walking and running shoes. Footwear for the whole family can be found at your favourite Skeches online store, choose from an assortment of 3000 different styles of shoes.

   I like to run, especially when my footwear is comfortable and provides good ankle support. Many brands to choose from when it comes to both walking and running shoes; I like Shechers because that provide comfort, support and are stylish.

   Choosing a great pair of Skeches will also tweak your interest in a proper running outfit. A running outfit should be functional, comfortable and should look great on you. A lot of running outfits provide protection from the elements as well they are easy and comfortable to run in and walk in as well. A good running outfit will be functional and have sufficient zip up pockets to carry your essentials like your ID, an energy bar and a secure place to carry your cell phone. You've got to listen to your favourite tunes when you run.

  A spandex style pair of running pants, a nice fitting top and a running jacket topped off with a cap that are all color coordinated along with your Skechers on your feet will have you set to go on your early morning run.

   Buying your running outfit and shoes can be expensive but online shopping stores provide discounts normally not found in a regular store. Why is that, well the overhead to operate an online store is much lower than a regular store so that makes online stores very competitive, as well they can have a larger assortment of merchandise to choose from. I will link you to a few stores for you to shop and share with your friends. Enjoy.

Handbags Functional and Fashionable

Handbags I Assume You Own One:

    Walking down a busy street, carefully watching and always wondering as to why someone would choose such an ugly and gaudy creation that we call the handbag. Now don't get me wrong, walking down the street were a lot of great looking hand bags.

   Handbags are fashion and they can make or break your fashion look. Choosing the right handbag is all about you, your look, what you want to create and how it affects your lifestyle.

   The right handbag for you has to be both functional and attractive as well it should provide a level of style that can be worn with a number of fashion looks.

Questions to ask when buying an everyday Handbag:

  • Is it big enough to hold everything but not so big that it looks like you're going away for the weekend?
  • Is it sturdy enough to hold up to daily wear?
  • Is your handbag of a color that will go with most of what you may find yourself wearing.
  • Functional considerations it would include questions like, will lit stay on your shoulder? Is the strap too short or too slippery? Put it on and try running around a little to see what happens during normal activity.
  • Is it bigger in the interior than the opening, so that it's like digging around in a fishbowl to find your keys?
  • Can you zip or snap the handbag closed for security when around small, curious children or in big potentially pickpocket-obscuring crowds?
  • Are there enough pockets for the things you access regularly, or will you need some kind of insert to organize the contents? 
  • And a real good consideration is this a handbag  you can see yourself living with day in and day out?
   Of course this isn't a one size or one style of handbag that fits every occasion. Depending on the occasion you will choose a different style, so consider the following suggestions. 
  • Formal event: tiny clutch.
  • Business meeting: leather briefcase or carryall.
  • Dinner date: smallish leather or metallic bag
  • On normal outings: choose a cloth or leather shoulder bag with accessible pockets for diapers/toys/tissues etc.
   You can take a look at some different styles here as well you can go to a few different web sites to take a closer look and perhaps find a handbag that you would like.

Underwear Security vs Freedom

I picked up a real neat book on Fashion when I was on holidays. I will share with you some portions that I found interesting and of course helpful for the fashion shopper. Sorry for not posting in the last little while as I have been enjoying the company of my wonderful Grand Children. Well lets get started.

   It is said that as in life, when it comes to underwear, you have to make the choice between security and freedom.

   This is certainly the story of the corset, an object that shows up in various forms in many different cultures and has been a lightning rod for various notions of what women's bodies should look like.

   The usual take on today is that they symbolize the oppression of women. At the costume departments of museums, we gawk at the tiny waists and the intricate structuring of these garments. We imagine that in times when women were more restricted, as in Victorian England, corseting was tightest, and when women were more liberated, as in the 1920s, it was the loosest.

   Interesting as it is we have both a combination of fashion underwear apparel that can be both tight fitting in the form of modern day shape wear as well we have underwear that can be loose fitting. And of course the corset is available today for those women who enjoy that type of garment.

    I have selected a few visuals for you to consider and I have linked you to my fashion website for you to enjoy and explore. My thanks goes out to Tim Gunn for writing such an interesting and informative book on the subject of fashion.
