Women's Fashion Footwear: 9 Shoes You Must Have
If you're like most women, you have dozens upon dozens of sandals, sneakers, loafers, flip-flops, boots, and other footwear. But how many of them do you love? Really love? How many fit well, complement your fashion sense, and are versatile enough to serve multiple purposes? Moreover, how many of these shoes do you really need? You may be surprised to learn that the following nine must-haves are the only styles required to create a shoe wardrobe so all-encompassing, so perfect, that no matter what the occasion is, you'll have just the right shoe.
1. Two or three pairs of expensive-looking shoes for a work.
Study what your boss is wearing then get yourself two great-looking pairs of similar shoes.
Not only will you always look appropriate and stylish. you'll always have a pair clean and ready should one need
to go to the cobbler.
Need style suggestions? Go with pumps. Not only are pumps flattering and easy to wear, they are the quintessential woman's work shoes, especially for those working in offices, banks, or upscale shops.
Opt for a dark or medium neutral.
Think black, chocolate, cordovan
(an old-fashioned word for cherry-kissed brown), or even burgundy, navy, or charcoal.
2. One warm-weather work shoe.
Your best bet is a two-part pump?or one with peep toes? in a light shade such as tan, beige or dove gray.
3.
One pair of slingbacks in a neutral shade.
They look chic with straight skirts and classic-cut trousers. They can be worn with bare legs or opaque winter stockings. Plus, they work well with formal and near-formal wear, they add sophistication to jeans, and instantly dress up a denim skirt and cardigan like nothing else can.
4. One pair of strappy dress sandals to wear with formal or semi-formal attire.
They can sex-up a pair of jeans, too.
Best colors: a mid-tone or pale neutral, including
metallics such as silver or gold.
5.
One pair of neutral-colored casual shoes for weekends.
A woman can never go wrong with classics such as oxfords, moccasins, loafers, or clogs.
6. One pair of attractive athletic shoes.
They're good-enough-looking for your Juicy Couture tracksuit, yet hard-working enough to perform at the gym.
7. One pair of fashion boots in a medium or dark neutral. Something classic enough
for work-wear yet sexy enough to add an edge to jeans and an everyday tee.
Top-of-the-calf boots with a flat heel are one of the cold weather season's hottest looks, but are surprisingly in-demand even as the weather grows warmer.
8. Two or more pair of casual, warm weather shoes in a pale neutral or fashion color. Think sandals, ballet slippers, or flip-flops done up in a dressy material like leather.
Consider yourself a die-hard fashionista?
Find a pair of espadrilles with a low to medium heel. Espadrilles are one of 2006's most coveted warm-weather
trends.
9. One pair of galoshes or other weather-protective footwear.
If you spend a good amount of time outdoors, go with two pairs . Be sure one is a classic style, such as Hunter Wellingtons in navy, green, red, pink or pale blue.
So ladies, clean out your closets, and stop spending money on shoes you don't absolutely love or
that does not fit well, complement your style and is not versatile to serve multiple purposes.
If you follow the above tips you will create a woman's fashion footwear wardrobe, that no matter what the occasion is, you will have the perfect shoe.

Vintage Linens Are No Longer Just for Decorating Your Home - Check Out the New Trend in Children Clothing
Abigail, owner of Poppylarity, uses vintage tablecloth fabric to create very unique baby, toddler and preschool dresses. Many of the dresses are one-of-kind creations using the retro floral print tablecloths from the 1940s through the 1970s. The dresses can have either a dainty feminine 1940 floral feel or a vibrant fun retro print of the 1960s. Abigail says, "Moms love the tablecloths of the past. But with small children running around the house, many do not want to display them on their tables.
Either their kids are too hard on the table d?cor or moms do not have the time for the washing and ironing required. I am offering them a fun alternative to enjoy the prints."Her featured style is the sleeveless spring and summer dress with an empire waist and gathered skirt. They are roomy enough to wear sleeveless or with some type of undershirt or blouse. Many of her customers add cardigan sweaters to the dresses. One of Abigail's signature details is the fully lined bodice which gives...

School Skirts
Short school skirts are pass?. Following the release of the hit music video featuring pop singer Britney Spears in a micro-mini school skirt, hemlines of school skirts crept up to what many consider to be improper levels. This caused the Scottish Parent Teacher Council to clamp down heavily on retail stores selling miniscule school skirts and subsequently, the sale of school skirts decreased. In 2002, Woolworth's, which sells 10 per cent of the school wear in Scotland, sold 200,000 school skirts and just 4,000 pairs of girls' trousers. But this year, the store has sold 104,000 pairs of trousers and 100,000 skirts.
For those who continue to wear school skirts but prefer a more conservative style, Modest Apparel USA is working on a reticent skirt for school uniforms.
This school skirt is double pleated, and has a back zipper; side inseam pockets, and covers the knee when sitting.
The trend, however, is gradually shifting away from solid-colored cotton...

Aerodynamics the leading factors in vehicle performance
Copyright 2005 Jason Bibb
Aerodynamics is one of the leading factors in vehicle performance. Car racing has focused on this aspect ever since the 60s, when the first inverted wings were installed on formula cars. In time, the development of aerodynamic devices grew stronger, often borrowing ideas and solutions form the flight industry.
By improving aerodynamics, engineers saw faster lap times and more driver control over the car, both at high and low speeds. The final element that contributes to improved handling and grip is the downforce ? using the underbody of the vehicle to facilitate airflow and "stick" the car to the tarmac.
Since the introduction of aerodynamics, automotive engineers used the distribution of downforce as the major decisive factor in car performance. Because of aerodynamic advancements, some racing cars reach cornering speeds of 4 G (four times the acceleration of gravity).
The same factors that apply to racing cars...
