Aren’t shoes great?they can give away so much about a persons character. These days womens shoes include something for everyone when it comes to fashion…and what better reason is there to updateyour wardrobe than a new upcoming season?

This year the the 80’s are making a reappearance! Get ready to wear soaring heels, t bar heels, platform heels, peep toe platforms in all those glorious bright shades…green is predicted to be the next popular colour…but don’t leave out pinks, citron, turquoise and neon’s…mixed with ink blues and black . Patent is still in this season too… The sky really is the limit when it comes to womens shoes. Here is a chance to develop a really up to date look with stylish heels.

Spring and summer are creeping up and this years hot sandals and pumps come with a particular attention to detail. There is no end to the amount of style you can add to your feet this season with a pair of womens sandals. For those with a daring streak try wearing sheer tights with metallic sandals as were featured in Missoni’s catwalk show during the Milan Fashion Week. Fringed and embellished womens sandals are still en vogue and sandals can be worn at any height…try flat jewelled sling back sandals which are promised to be one of the sexiest flat sandals of the season. For those needing some casual looks try Birkenstock womens sandals and flip flops or the ever versatile much loved and much disliked Croc!…take a look at the Sassari Crocs for a new view to the usually chunky Croc. Crocs also come in all the great bright colours of the season and there is variety for all the family and Crocs offer value for money. If you are blessed with being tall then a pair of ankle high gladiator style womens sandals may well be the shoe for you.

Ladies Wedges are still keeping up an appearance,they are more comfortable than a pair of heels….neutral, natural look wedge shoes are a good purchase this season.

Peep toe shoes and peep toe boots! The trend for peep toes is keeping up momentum and peep toes are still very very popular. Almost any ‘traditional’ womens shoes now comes with a ‘peep toe’ style including new peep toe boots and the traditional style oxford style peep toe shoes and boots. Prada featured a shoe/boot/sandal so whatever next! Peep toe shoes are an option for those who can’t bear to have their toes cramped up with the rising popularity of pointed stiletto shoes this season…as well as giving some ‘air-conditioning’ to the feet and toes!…and they are accepted for wear in an office environment.

Sneakers and canvas shoes are now found in many bright colours and are the new ‘in’ for the younger generation. Try Converse and Skechers for cute, up to the minute sneakers and canvas shoes offering an alternative style.

Just about every womens shoe type must now come in the ‘Mary Jane’ style. Again there is something to suit all…and not just the younger generation as was once associated with Mary Janes. Loafers, pumps, platforms, stilettos, peep toes and sandals all come in this timeless style and this trend of womens shoes looks set to continue.

Womens shoes really are a womans best friend but where does one stopdraw the line? In true Prada fashion Prada paraded a new totally original look for shoes this season featuring flower heels and looks that are almost impossible to describe….who will be daring enough to wear them?

Ugg boots probably has become a buzz in today’s fashion world: maybe because celebrities wear them or maybe because there is a certain charismatic aura around the word Ugg. Whatever it may be, they are a definite fashion accessory.

Sheepskin or Ugg Boots – what are they?

The term ‘ugg boots’ in generic use refers to a boot made of sheepskin, typically identified with Australian make. ‘UGG’ is also a trademark of boots manufactured by a U.S. Company ‘UGG Australia.’ Whatever be the use, these boots are soft, furry and keep the feet incredibly warm.

As these boots are designed with sheepskin that is double faced, so they are even said as Sheepskin Boots. This double-faced sheepskin is a single layer with outside as skin and inside as fleece that maintains the thermostatic nature of the sheepskin. This will keep your feet warm and comfy during winter and very cold and breathable during summer. So no matters whether it is sheepskin or ugg boots for they both are same.

Ugg boots – Etymology

The word ugg, as we know it now, once meant ugly. Though it is quite surprising, yet it is the truth. The legend says that when these sheep skin boots were first used, they had none of the fashionable look of the present days. They looked ugly and naturally they are called ‘ugly boots’. Ugg and ugs are used in short to refers to these ugly boots and hence the name.

Sheepskin and Ugg boots’ styles and flavors

Women have a lot of styles to choose from than men. Feminine and girlish colors like pink and purple are commonly seen with variations in design and type: chunky, heels, flats etc. Men ugg boots come in neutral colors and there are some interesting discussions over internet whether or not uggs make a fashion statement for men. Many consider ugg for men are for comfort alone, though it is truly a matter of personal choice.

When and what to wear with ugg boots?

Sheepskin or ugg boots can be worn in cold season upto -30 degree Fahrenheit. They keep the feet comfortably warm in this range. Jeans tucked into the boots is a great look for girls and women. Ugg boots are casual type footwear and so rugged shirts with jean will be the desired look for men. These can be worn with or without socks or hose without freezing your legs. But is better to not prefer socks as it may give you an ugly look.

Music and Movies World

Brian asked:


Ugg Australia boots are not just for winter anymore. These boots are showing up everywhere. Women are wearing these big boots with short skirts. Children and grown-ups alike are wearing their brightly colored boots regardless of the season. Celebrities are wearing these boots during filming breaks. Surfers are wearing these boots at the beach! Young or old, male or female, the demand for these boots has never before been greater.

Before you head for the nearest mall to purchase your very own pair of ugg Australia boots , stop for a moment and ask yourself, “Haven’t I seen these boots before?” If you are college-aged or younger, you have seen these boots everywhere including on the Internet, in store catalogues, and in stores themselves. You may even have a pair or two right now in your very own closet. But if you are close to or even a part of the baby boomer generation, then you likely remember these boots from the seventies. Surfers wore them back then and made the ugg Australia boots popular on the surfing circuit.

That’s right. The look of ugg Australia boots has been on the fashion scene before. In fact, these sheep skinned boots were around even before the seventies. World War II fighter pilots wore a similar style of boot while in combat. And before that, Australians tied sheep skin scraps around their feet while working outdoors because the sheep skin kept their feet warm. It’s even said that the name, ugg, is short for the word, ugly. Believe it or not, people who wore these boots in previous times thought that the style of the boot, while practical, was plain old ugly.

And for all its popularity, there are lots and lots of people who would rather freeze in the cold than wear ugg Australia boots. Some people state that those people who are crazy enough to wear this style of boot end up looking like elves. Others look at the ugg Australia boots and can only recall the bad memories of the boots that their mothers forced them to wear back in elementary school. And there are still other people who think that there is an appropriate time and an appropriate age for wearing this style of boots and warm weather and twenty-something is neither the time nor the age.

As with many things in life, those things that are controversial tend to become popular. And it seems that the controversy over whether to wear or not to wear the ugg Australia boots is only adding to the popularity of these boots. And as long as celebrities are shown wearing these fancy-colored, genuine sheep skin boots while walking around the trendy streets of Los Angeles, sales of this popular boot style will only continue to soar.

So getting back to the original question of whether wearing ugg Australia boots will put you ahead of fashion or behind, it seems that the answer may very well be, “Does it really matter?” The boots are incredibly comfortable to wear and the marketing materials claim that the composition of the natural sheep skin actually keeps your feet warm but will also keep your feet cool. So, regardless of the type of climate zone in which you live, if you like the look of ugg Australia boots, go ahead and purchase a pair. And don’t worry about what other people might say. The only thing you’ll have to worry about is making the right boot selection because they come in so many different styles and colors.

Mark Grey asked:


In every women´s shoe cupboard should be found a pair of sheepskin boots, especially with the environmental conditions the way they are – the winters being much colder than in previous history. The main benefit from quality women’s sheepskin boots is the warmth they provide, not just the stylish and quality look from the many designs available. Most sheepskin boots have a fleeced liner to warm the feet – and as we all know as long as our feet are warm it helps preserve the temperature throughout the rest of our body.

As with all sheepskin products the women’s sheepskin boots are available from many imported countries, but as always to ensure greater quality it is advised that you purchase your boots from countries such as New Zealand, or preferably Australia – this is purely for the manufacturing process and methods that have been defined through the years of traditional sheepskin crafting. Above and beyond this advice another factor to look for to ensure quality is that you boots are 100% double faced, this adds not only to the style, but the comfort and quality of any women’s sheepskin boots.

Another quality found in the perfected manufacturing of Australian sheepskin boots, such as Uggs is the flexibility and traction found in the light weight sole – this adds to the comfort, and ensures that the women´s sheepskin boots remain light and comfortable to be worn all day is desired, and to keep the feet not only warm, but feeling fresh and free. Added to this flexible sole is a reinforced heel that again adds comfort as well as security regardless of the terrain. This makes women’s sheepskin boots, as manufactured by Uggs, suitable for any and all occasions.

Caring for you women´s sheepskin boots is made easy, with products available for stain removing, water repellent, cleaner and sheepskin conditioner giving you many years of quality in your sheepskin boots meaning you really can use them on all terrains, and in all weathers. The ability to waterproof this quality sheepskin is a great factor – as it is known with the cold brings the wet, and being able to stay dry and warm from the feet up is imperative, and now an ability found in women´s sheepskin boots.

The simplest form of importing these quality women´s sheepskin boots is to purchase online, for this I would advise you select a store dedicated to sheepskin products above all others. This will give you the confidence that you are dealing with a professional, and dedicated outlet, to take this one step further finding a site direct from the importing country is a perfect scenario. This can now all be incorporated with the launch of a new site found in UggBootsForLess – offering quality women´s sheepskin boots at great prices and shipped direct from Australia – the home of quality sheepskin.

Raz Chan asked:


In the past few years, the fitness industry has seen an increase in military style workout programs called fitness boot camps. These programs are short in duration and usually last about 4 weeks with 3 sessions per week.

The main goal is to get you in the best shape possible in the least amount of time. Most of the programs are offered to everyone, while others cater exclusively to women only. A fitness boot camp for women can be a great way to get back into shape while having fun at the same time.

Here are 10 great reasons and benefits to join a fitness boot camp for women:

1). Avoid the unwanted stares and attention from men during your workouts. Most women do not like to be “checked out” while they go about their workouts. It can be intimidating and uncomfortable for many women who are only interested in their fitness boot camp workouts.

2). Some women are self-conscious of their body image prior to joining. Weight loss and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are important, but just as important is finding a comfortable environment to workout.

3). They provide women with the time to bond and share common interests that they may not experience with unisex workout classes. Women can feel comfortable joining solo or with their friends.

4). Women tend to be less competitive than men; therefore, the atmosphere in the boot camp workouts while serious tend to be more relaxed.

5). The nature of program is very focused and goal-oriented. Making a boot camp into a routine with the same group of people over time means that everyone is motivated to attain their fitness goals..

6). Fitness boot camps for women tend to be more welcoming and less intimidating for women of all shapes and sizes.

7). You can have fun getting into shape and work towards your goal of either being healthier or losing weight. They can be held indoors or outdoors for maximum workout benefits.

8). If you don’t exercise regularly, jump start your fitness by getting into a routine and making it a regular part of your lifestyle. Women have busy lives and it’s difficult to make time for themselves. Making a regular fitness class over time will help you achieve a more balanced lifestyle in the long-term.

9). It’s a great way to make new friends and network with one another.

10). Aspire to the next level. Once you achieve success with your first workout, you’ll want to take your newly found fitness level and try a more advanced workout. This prevents your body from plateauing and ensures that you continue to push your body to get even more results. Once you start, don’t stop!

In the end, my advice is to first check out the camp you are interested in to find out if the class program and environment is suitable for you. Find out what certifications and experience the instructor has before joining. Make sure your instructors also have current CPR and first aid certifications. Above all, you should look for an instructor who makes you feel motivated, encouraged, and energized. For some, this may mean a military type style workout. For others, it may be something less overwhelming. Find something that suits your comfort zone, get started, and train safe!

Stephanie Larkin asked:


Every Ugg boot or footwear item is manufactured to meet the highest possible standards. Ugg boot quality is a result of a long history of dedication, workmanship and attention to details. Therefore, any upkeep for the attractiveness and life of Ugg Shoes-Australia boots is well worth it. Fortunately, retaining the new look of Ugg-Australian boots is not complicated or even difficult. With a little easy care, they will continue to offer the comfort, durability, and luxury for which Ugg footwear is known.

First, it’s important to decide when and where to wear Ugg-Australian boots. Even though they are most often relied upon in winter months to insulate feet against the cold (they’re assured for up to 30 degrees below zero), they are not meant to be snow shoes. Furthermore, although they are also worn by surfers to keep their feet warm between catching waves, they should not be used for wading through those waves. In fact, Ugg boots should not be worn be in any other wet conditions, including mud, rain, ice or slush. To prevent unexpected weather from damaging Ugg footwear, it’s wise to apply water repellent thoroughly as often as instructed. Doing so will seal the sheepskin from dirt and discoloration as well. The best product for this is Ugg Australia Sheepskin Water and Stain Repellent. Unfortunately, discolorations from, or caused by, another protective product may void Ugg Shoes-Australia’s one year warranty.

The first maintenance step is to brush the Uggs with a wire, suede or nubuck brush-in one direction only. If done regularly, this will prevent any dirt or dust from settling among the suede fibers and reduce the potential damage from embedded debris. However, sooner or later, Uggs need to be cleaned in either certain areas or overall. A quality stain eraser can be used to reduce any stains prior to cleaning.

Even though Uggs should not be worn through wet conditions, a little water can be used to cleanse them. However, Ugg-Australia boots should never be put into a washing machine, or cleaned with hot water, since both can cause permanent damage. To clean Ugg-Australian boots by hand, first dampen the boot or specific boot area with a soft sponge, brush, or cloth. Then, dip that same applicator into a small amount of diluted cleaner and rub gently. (Do not drip it directly from the bottle onto the boot.) Remember that any roughness or abrasion may harm the boot surface. The best product to use for the actual cleaning is Ugg Australia Sheepskin Cleaner and Conditioner, which contains natural jojoba and coconut oils. This is known to be safe when used on Uggs. Otherwise, the owner takes a chance with cleaners that may be good for wool or suede, but not necessarily beneficial for sheepskin. If this process does not remove a particular mark, it may be caused by high oil content in the stain. Such stains may be lessened by the application of white chalk or a fine powder and then rubbed again.

Rinse the cleaner off with a little clean water. If the entire boot has been treated, any excess wetness may be squeezed out. Ugg boots should never be stretched to remove water. To retain their proper shape while drying, Ugg Shoes-Australia footwear should be stuffed with paper towels or newspaper. They should then be allowed to air-dry naturally in a warm area, but not in the path of direct heating or sunlight. After they are completely dry, the Uggs (or the places that have been cleaned) should be re-brushed, again in just one direction. Shaking a little baking soda or shoe deodorizer into the boots will eliminate past foot odor and prevent against future smells. The size of the Ugg boot may appear to shrink slightly after drying, but will regain its original fit after being worn a few times.

It’s also worthwhile to remember that, with darker colored Uggs, some dye may lift off during the first few wearings and washings. This is just excess coloring and does not mean that the boots will continue to fade or lose all color. (Plus, like all natural fabrics, it’s normal for sheepskin to contain irregularities in color and variations in textures, and does not indicate defects in manufacturing.) Finally, storing Uggs in a dry place between wearings will allow them to air out so that they are fresh for the next wearing.

By following these tips, Ugg Shoes-Australia boot owners can rely on outstanding comfort, luxury and dependability for the life of the boots, which will probably be a very long time!

Debra Brian Hunt asked:


While most men are happy with just four pairs of shoes, women need a full dozen to even begin to imagine their wardrobe as complete. Of course, women’s shoes also have a lot of variety and diverse looks so it makes it easier to shop for shoes that are fashionable and chic.

                                                         

The biggest problem when buying women’s shoes is the quality of the shoe. Due to the numerous fashionable designs, it is very easy to get fooled into buying a shoe that either comes apart after a few wears, or loses its shape quickly. Furthermore, the most important element when buying a good shoe is comfort.

 

Start by doing your research when buying a shoe. Fashions change every six months, so be sure that you are buying a shoe that is either currently in fashion, or is a wardrobe staple that will always be chic, like a black pump.

 

When you go into the stores, knowing the current trends will make it easier to go through all the variety and choose the best shoe. It is always a safe bet to buy high heels in colours such as black, silver or brown. You should also always have at least one pair of good quality boots in your closet, as well as a pair of flat sandals.

 

There will be hundreds of shoes that match your requirement, with the only difference being brand names and prices, so you need to really educate yourself on what it available so you can make the best decision for your outfit or closet.

 

Look at multiple stores, and go online since you can look at an even larger variety this way. Once you know your price range and style you want, you are one step closer to the final decision. While many people prefer to buy many shoes at cheaper prices, it is actually advisable that you buy fewer shoes from well known stores since the shoe will be a wardrobe staple you can use for a few years before it needs to be replaced.

 

Always buy shoes to fulfil a need. It is possible to buy a pair of shoes every time you go into a shoe store, however, this way you will end up with dozens of pairs that you never wear. Always buys shoes when you need them so that you end up using them and making the most of the money you spent. If you need to buy shoes for work, get leather shoes and similarly if you are athletic then buy sneakers. Buying a shoe that you need ensures that you end up wearing it.

 

Look at the quality of materials used. Handmade shoes are usually expensive, but great quality and very durable. Leather is another durable material but there are some alternatives to leather shoes available as well. The shoe should feel very sturdy and not end up breaking after one wear.

 

Finally, make sure you buy a shoe that is comfortable to wear and walk in. Put both shoes on and walk around the store a couple of times. The shoe you end up buying needs to feel snug, but not too tight, and be comfortable to walk and stand in.

Women In The USMC

I spent 6 years in the United States Marine Corps and have to say it was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had.  When I first told my parents about my decision they had mixed feelings, my father seemed happy but my mother had reservations.

I should say, perhaps some of that came from my mother being ex-Navy (Jarheads and Squids traditionally have friendly rivalry). I also think my mother thought the Marine Corps was too tough for a female to deal with. 

The thing about my decision was really that I wanted to do something that not many tried to do, something that was more difficult…..something that would challenge me.  When people found out that I was heading to boot-camp, I think many had an idea that I would fail and be home soon. I wish I had been told about what to expect, a guide or book telling me about all the things I was soon to discover.

People would say things like, “You won’t get through training,” or “Maybe you should look at the Air Force,” or “What about college?”  All in subtle ways to tell me they thought maybe I just couldn’t make it as a Marine.

Well this is the truth; I was worried about my fitness.  I was worried that I couldn’t run, or couldn’t handle the physical fitness.  I was worried that I was simply not strong enough….I was worried that, even I had spent weeks preparing, I was still not in good shape. I went online to look for information before going, but it seemed limited about details of the boot camp, training and more.

These are the facts.  You are never fit enough to think you can go to USMC boot-camp and get through training solely on what you have done to that point.  So then you think what must you do to get fit enough?

The biggest problem for women is that traditionally we have been told not to extend ourselves to the extreme physical workouts.  Not to lift weights.  Not to take martial arts. Not go overboard in the gym…..in other words, not to train like men!

The problem with that is when you go to boot camp; there is no escape from the physical training.  If you think you will be let off the hook simply because you are female….DON’T GO IN THE MARINES!!!!

This is no bullshit…..you will Suffer!  You will want to CRY!  You will want to hide away and try to slip off to medical.  And do you know what will happen if you give the Drill Instructor a passing thought that you might be weak?  That you might be unable to make the grade?  They will break you.  Break your spirit.  You cannot let them!

I am not saying the DI’s are monsters…..it is their job to get rid of those who come and are not the best candidates for the Marines.  They are there to weed out the people who cannot qualify.  Not everyone who goes to boot-camp will succeed.  Some women fall out because they cannot adjust to the living situation, cannot adjust to being told what to do and when; cannot take direction; cannot advance through training.  Some get sent back to do more training with another platoon; some are released from the military.  If you fail the final fitness test chances are you will be let go. 

Still it isn’t just the fitness test; there are many other aspects of USMC boot camp that you need to be aware of.  The inside tips and advice about what to expect in Marine Boot Camp, the USMC way of doing things, the words to know and how NOT to react to the pressure.  Wouldn’t it be nice if you could be prepared? To know about all the different experience you will face?  What you will really face in USMC Boot Camp?

Before I went to boot-camp I could run 3 miles under 30 minutes, could do 65 sit-ups in one minute, could do 20 chin-ups and could do the bar hang for 3 minutes….which wasn’t that good.   I thought it was good enough.  I got my **** kicked……I was exhausted after the first day of physical training.  I spent extra time, when we have a free moment, doing more chins and hangs, more sit-ups and trying to make myself stronger.  I remember wishing that I had spent some time lifting weights, or doing something more productive to get ready for boot-camp.  I remember wishing someone had told me how things really were and what to really expect, but they didn’t.

If you are thinking to join the USMC, trust me, don’t let people bullshit you and say it is easy…..it isn’t!   Get in shape, follow a plan, and eat properly.  

You will have very little sleep your first week or two, your body will be going through changes and adjusting to a new place and you will have many moments of total stress……add to that the fact that you will struggle with the physical side of things….and you will overload yourself with stress.  If you could eliminate one aspect of that adjusting to make your transition a little easier wouldn’t you do it? 

USMC fitness tests are the most difficult physical tests in all of the military, you can ask anyone that…..it is common knowledge.  It is common knowledge that the Marine Corps doesn’t take just anyone, you have to earn your place….you have to earn the right to be called a Marine…..you have to do your time and carry your load…..so if you are a woman, thinking to go into the Marine Corps…..if you don’t want succeed, don’t want the honor of being called a Marine….then keep doing what you are doing….it makes no difference…..the Marine Corps only wants the best.

If you are a woman, wanting to be a Marine…then do something better, get yourself off the sofa and train….push yourself….become what you want…..Semper Fidelis!
