Weddings tend to be expensive, but yours doesn’t have to be that way. As long as you’re willing to buck a few traditions (who says you have to follow them, anyway?), you’ll surely save a bundle with these alternative wedding ideas.
Skip the diamond engagement ring
My objections to diamond engagement rings are as much about ethics as cost. Even if you don’t share my moral views on the issue of conflict/blood diamonds, it’s a fact that you will save thousands of dollars by not buying a diamond engagement [...]

Es ist kaum zu glauben, was eine Studie des Deutschen Schuhinstituts, kurz DSI, gestern ans Tageslicht brauchte: rund 80 Prozent der Deutschen tragen die falschen Schuhe. Dabei ist es schon die Lieblingsbeschäftigung der meisten Frauen – sich neue Schuhe zu kaufen. Doch leider spielt dabei meist der „Chic“ eine Rolle und nicht die Gesundheit.
In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bundesverband der Deutschen Schuhindustrie hat das Deutsche Schuhinstitute eine Studie durchgeführt, für die insgesamt 10.400 Füße untersucht wurden. Mit dem Deutschen Fußreport macht das DSI auf diese alarmierenden Zahlen aufmerksam [...]

From the makers of the little blue box comes a Leather collection for Fall 2010. A range of styles for men and women are created by design directors Richard Lambertson and John Truex, well known in the arena of leather goods makers, and “captures the spirit of American sportswear and its exuberant approach to life in town, in the country and from coast to coast,” Lambertson told the press.
The designs themselves feature clean lines and texture courtesy of crocodile, snakeskin, calf, and suede leather. Pieces are finished [...]

Para celebrar aos 60 anos da Peanuts, tirinha que no Brasil ficou popular como Turma do Snoopy, a Lacoste lançou uma coleção infantil de 4 polos brancas. Nesta festa, até mesmo o crocodilo icônico da marca virou um dos amigos de Charlie Brown e seu cão.
Nas estampas, o réptil interage com 4 membros da turma: consegue um lugar na casa de Snoopy, busca a bola de Charlie Brown, morde o cobertor de Linus e dá carona para alguns pássaros com os mesmos traços de Woodstock. [...]

A pair of high-heeled woolly ugg Boots to be worn by Australia’s representative at the Miss Universe Pageant later this month has come under fire on two fronts — tackiness and animal cruelty.
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) asked Jesinta Campbell not to wear ugg boots or a lamb’s wool shrug at the pageant in Las Vegas on Aug. 23 because it was cruel and unethical, using Australian wool sourced from mulesed sheep.
Mulesing, a common practice among Australian farmers, involves removing strips of wool-bearing skin from [...]

Back in January, Jimmy Choo announced they were offering the solution for women who opt for comfort over Fashion – with their version of the ugg Boot.
The hot new collection is launching in October but it looks as though heiress Nicky Hilton has let the ugg out of the bag – and posted a picture of her much coveted new pair on Twitter.
Black, with fringe detailing and embellished stars – the classic mark of a Choo – the boots, nicknamed CHUGG, comes in five styles of varying colours.
Nicky, [...]

Yesterday, we got a sneak preview of gucci’s upcoming fragrance, Gucci Guilty. We learned about the scent’s composition, the inspiration from Streisand and the Frank Miller-directed TV commercial starring Evan Rachel Wood.
The fragrance: The top notes are mandarin and pink peppercorn; middle notes are fruit and lavender; and base notes are amber and patchouli. It smells good, but the amber and patchouli are a little much for me, personally.
The name: Apparently, Gucci creative director Frida Giannini is a big Streisand fan. The name “Guilty” came to her [...]

”Whatever happened to Brylcreem?” a male colleague asked during a general office hiatus. ”I guess it’s been replaced by fudge…” Everyone nodded. Fudge is the hair styling product of the moment, we agreed. We love fudge. ”It’s the mousse of the decade,” the workmate pronounced. But then a female colleague piped up: ”No. mousse is back. I was surprised to be offered it at the hairdressers yesterday.” Remember mousse – that sticky, frothy, highly scented, aerated product that volumised our big eighties hair without the extremity of [...]

The rules for wearing denim with denim are about to be broken. Though it was a major no-no in the 1990s (think Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in their bedazzled denim ensembles complete with denim hats and accessories), today the combination of jeans with a chambray shirt or a denim vest is not only acceptable, it’s current.
Celebrity stylist Nicole Chavez recently wore a light-colored chambray button-down shirt with a pair of medium-blue skinny jeans and Celine’s tan wedge clogs to brunch at the Soho House, a sure [...]
