Saturday, January 26th, 2008

Shoe giant Jimmy Choo founder Tamara Mellon is suing her mother Ann Yeardye for $10 million dollars claiming that she is holding stock that no longer belongs to her.

Support “Totes For Tots” For Foster Kids

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

The number on foster care in Georgia will break your heart. Georgia has over 15,000 children in foster care. 66 percent are under 12 years old. Georgia ranks 39 out of the 50 states in overall child well-being.

A bright spot is a statewide program helps kids of all ages in foster care. Lee Perkins, of Georgia Cancer Specialists, coordinates “Totes for Tots.”

They collect brand new, or gently used bags for the children. DFACS takes their belongings with them when they go from some type of traumatic situation or a new foster home, or from foster home to foster home, which does often happen. (more…)

I bought this Tommy Hilfiger Hampshire Tote Handbag and I love it.

Mine is in a beautiful vibrant red color trimmed in the same brown as this photo

It is easy to open and grab and something out of. I must confess though; it’s easy to overstuff it.

Buy Shoe Trees / Racks: Whitney Design 2134 Chrome Revolving 4-Tier Shoe Tree – In Stock On 9, January 2008

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

After a recent shoe-shopping binge, I found myself facing a pile of shoes on the floor. I already have a two-tier shoe rack, but I clearly needed more shoe storage. And since I wear dress shoes to work every day, I wanted easy access.

With no time to make a trip to a home store, I started browsing Amazon, and came across this Whitney Design 2134 Chrome Revolving 4-Tier Shoe Tree.

Maybe I’m sheltered, but the idea of a vertical, revolving shoe rack never even crossed my mind. After reading the good reviews, I purchased Whitney Design 2134 Chrome Revolving 4-Tier Shoe Tree.

I took everything out of the box and carefully counted each part to compare with the instruction sheet. Nothing missing. I started putting Whitney Design 2134 Chrome Revolving 4-Tier Shoe Tree together.

After one brief snag (I had the base upside down), assembly was a breeze, and my shoe rack was complete in under 15 minutes. I loaded my shoes (filled the whole thing with a space between each pair) and voila!

Whitney Design 2134 Chrome Revolving 4-Tier Shoe Tree looks very nice. It feels quite stable–the base is very heavy and once my shoes were on the rack I could barely lift it. I love being able to see my shoes and reach them easily This rack is much better than the standard two-tiered horizontal designs that sit on the floor.

Buy Crocs: Crocs Mammoth Shearling Clog

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

Both my husband and I own the Crocs Mammoth Shearling Clog and use them as house slippers. They are incredibly comfortable and warm even when I have to go out into the snow . The callouses are literally falling off my feet.

Washing the liners is simple, and we dry them in front of the fireplace. This particular pair of Crocs Mammoth Shearling Clog seems to erase joint pains.

These shoes are not pretty. (Ours are the khaki/oatmeal.) If fashion is important to you, try other Crocs styles such as Prima.
