Crocs!

I always thought that a "fashionable croc" was an oxymoron. That is until a good friend of mine wore her Croc ballet flats to a social event. Very cute. When she said they were Crocs, I almost swallowed my bubble gum!

I did some research and found out that Crocs are no longer just plastic, neon-colored clodhoppers worn by every six-year-old in town. They come in a variety of styles and colors and, I have to admit, they're kind of cute.

Sandals, clogs, mules, canvas slipons, mary janes, slingbacks, flip flops, boat shoes, boots and oxfords are just a few styles that are Croc-o-rific! Check them out at Footsmart.

London Fog

What comes to mind when you think of London? The Beatles? Buckingham Palace? Bridget Jones? For me it's umbrellas! I hear that in Seattle (the Rain capital of America) that the locals can spot a tourist a mile away because she/he carries an umbrella. I guess it's not hip to use an umbrella in Seattle. But in London (an other parts of the world) umbrellas are functional and fashionable.

There are colors, sizes and styles to choose from. And they do NOT have to match your outfit. That's what's fun about umbrellas. They "go" with everything.

So hold your umbrella proudly. Don't be afraid to get your "British" on!

Dreamin' of Denim

Timeless, earthy and universal, denim is one of the latest fashion trends for spring and summer 2010. Whether you choose classic jeans, shorts, shirts, vests, skirts or jackets, denim breaks all the boundaries.

Denim can be decorated with zippers, rivets, chains, buttons and appliques and dyed in every color of the rainbow for a fresh look. Dress your denim up with a silk blouse, colorful scarf and heels, or dress it down with flats, a t-shirt and a quirky hat.

Available in dark, medium and faded washes, denim jeans come in a variety of styles: low-rise, mid-rise, high-rise, boot cut, relaxed fit and skinny...just to name a few.

So take my advice. Personalize your wardrobe this season with dramatic denim!
