I love polarizing fashion trends.
There are certain style options that pop up from time to time, that while undeniably popular, also produce an equal amount of “I don’t get it, I’m not into it”. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about, and can think of a few fads that fit these parameters. I personally am thinking about Ugg boots. The big puffy, sheepskin Ugg boot has been nigh ubiquitous for a good five or six year now. Undeniably popular, yet I always hear folks claim they would never wear them.Maybe the secret to fashion is simply the ability to get people talking and take notice.
Well the Ugg phenomenon was explained to me simply by my friend Michelle - COMFORT!
Therein lies the crux of the matter. Too often fashion trends and styles appointed to women entail squeezing a size 9 foot into a narrow (albeit sexy) stiletto! Ugg boots are very comfortable! In her words it’s like enveloping your foot in a cloud of pillows. And as far as style goes, they are getting cuter by the second!

They certainly don’t seem to be going anywhere and are in fact more popular than ever with their 2009 spring styles. The Classic Cardy can now be found in several vibrant spring colors: grey, aqua, sage, clay, sunflower and several others. I have no doubt the aqua Classic Short flavor will be a huge hit. That’s just my prediction. Another is that Ugg’s may have crossed the line from fad into something more enduring. Hey folks it has been several years, it seems like the people have spoken on this issue! Once in a blue moon it seems COMFORT trumps SUFFERING for fashion.
Check out these Ugg boot coupons from CouponMountain.com. People will think your feet are super cute, coveting your boots for themselves…that would be prediction number three.

It was a big Greek themed evening. Sara,myself, our friends Jill, Scott and Voula were all out at a Greek restaurant we heard excellent things about up in the San Fernando Valley. Jill and Scott were eagerly looking forward to their upcoming vacation in Greece and Voula who’s family hails from the islands and has spent many a summer there over the course of her life was giving them some pointers.
“…and another thing, they are very fashion forward over there” she was saying “They are up on trends way before they hit the States. I noticed ladies wearing those gladiator sandals in Greece two or three years before I ever noticed them here”. “Weren’t they wearing those things three thousand years before they hit here?”, I snickered.
Ahh those gladiator sandals. They have been a hot trend here for a good three or four seasons now, and their popularity doesn’t seem to be slowing down. They are still a cornerstone in this year’s spring fashion footwear offerings. In fact, they are starting to feel more like a mainstream basic than a trend that will disappear next season. The ladies just love them it appears. I understand why, gladiator sandals come in all shapes, styles, colours and heel heights. Not all gladiator styles strap high above the ankle or sport copper hardware. You can purchase a pair that are a little less “gladiator-esque” if you fancy a more timeless and pretty look. The style often looks very smart when combined with skinny jeans or clam diggers. I also like them with skirts and frocks because of the appealing contrast that is created between something very feminine and quite edgy. Add a well groomed foot to the equation and you’re in business. On a side note, gladiator sandals appeal to me because I like it when the ladies show a little ankle, gets the Victorian in me all hot and steamy.
Check out the “Multi-Colored” Gladiator Sandals from the Gap featured above. (100% leather, wipe clean and imported)
Originally $39.50
Now on SALE for $29.99
Do you have your new springtime footware covered? You need to get that handled! We have some great Gap coupons available right now, and The Gap always has a wide variety of options for spring and summer. I noticed several varieties of gladiators in the $30 range on their website this morning. Oh come on, let your feet breathe, they deserve it!

So you’ve spent a pretty penny on a new gym membership. You’ve spent another on a few new workout outfits, so you can be comfortable (and look good) while you tone that hot bod of yours. Should you spend a few more on new shoes? I mean, on athletic footwear?
When is the time to buy new shoes? Well the answer should be apparent if your old kicks are obviously worn. This is a very practical thing we are speaking of. If your shoes aren’t up to snuff, your feet could really end up hurting after that workout. You are trying to be healthy and look good right? Besides those old shoes won’t go well with that new workout ensemble you just purchased. Let’s not be counterproductive.
It is recommended that you replace athletic shoes between every 350 to 550 miles you’ve put on them. This is of course dependent on your body weight, and the surface on which you exercise. Lighter folks can get closer to the upper end of the recommendation, while heavier people are harder on shoes and should consider replacement shoes closer to 350 miles.
When shopping for new athletic shoes remember these rules:
- Shop late in the day because your feet swell during the day.
- Measure your foot while standing.
- Try on both shoes with the socks you will wear.
- Buy for your larger foot (feet are rarely the same exact size).
- Allow a thumbnail’s width between the shoe and your big toe.
- Choose shoes that are comfortable immediately. If they hurt in the store, don’t buy them.
- Make sure the shoe matches your foot type and exercise style.
Nike Store provides awesome atheletic apparel. Indeed their shoes are some of the best in the market, stylish and supportive. Whether you are looking for shoes to play football, baseball, tennis, soccer, lacrosse, basketball or cricket, they definitely have the shoe for you!
Nike shoes have all the features that a person should be looking for. With stylish design and the use of durable materials, this ensures that you will be getting a great quality product that you will be able to use for a long time. With its steady innovations such as this years LunarGlide+, Nike is determined to stay at the forefront in terms of technology.
Furthermore, with the advent of the Nike ID, you can order shoes that are custom made according to your colors and specifications and all this delivered to your front door! It’s this type of service and innovation that keeps Nike relevant and popular.
You would think that Nike footwear would be very expensive right? Not only is Nike footwear surprisingly affordable but you can also use these Nike Discount Codes to save money every time you shop online.
I hope this helps, see you at the gym…

Imagine a shoe so different it changes how you think about footwear - and exercise!
Earth’s Kalso Negative Heel Technology shifts your weight back and can help you burn calories while strengthening and toning your body. It’s a part of every shoe they design, and part of being good to your whole self.
Danish yoga master, Anne Kalso designed the unique negative heel that is integrated into the footbed of every Earth footwear style. Featuring a 3.7 degree incline that simulates foot positioning during the Tadasana yoga pose.
All I am saying folks is if these shoes help you burn calories faster as well as promote good posture and healthier living than how does that hurt? Plus check em’ out, their not that shabby looking either.

So here is the scoop, there is a Target within walking distance of my apartment. This is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because I love, love, love Target; but a curse because while the mind is willing the wallet is empty!
I always promise myself that I will just grab some toilet paper and some scented candles, and then that’s IT. I’m out before something catches my eye and lures me in. Suffice to say it never works out that way. I somehow always end up spending way over my allotted $20-$25 dollar personal Target budget.
Picture this: I walk briskly through the sliding doors, head for the pet snacks section. Quietly repeating the following mantra in my head “dog treats, dog treats, dog treats, dog treats….” I pick up a can of Snausages for my bulldog Buddha. I think I’m safe, I’m headed for the cashier….then WHAM!
I see these super cute Gladiator Sandals! They are available in black, at least they look black to me yet the description says brown. The bottom is cushioned and the straps are studded. Super comfy and super cute. Here is how all women know they happened upon a good deal, when other women begin to swarm around you and slowly pick up what you are looking at. Cha-ching! - you just won the shopping lottery.
Price $19.99
Of course I bought them, and they are now my “favorite” pair of sandals. The only fly in my shopping ointment is - I should have bought them online!
The Gladiator sandals plus all the toiletries I purchased was over $50 dollars so the shipping would have been FREE! Thus saving me the hassle of hauling all those goods by hand into my apartment.
PLUS! - If I had purchased my Target goods online I could have saved money by using the following Target Coupon Codes!!
So as Maximus would ask…
“Are you NOT pleased with your savings!?”
Then learn from my mistakes girls and shop Target online next time.
