TOMS Shoes is well known for its generous practice of donating a pair of shoes to children in need for every pair of shoes that is purchased by a consumer. The company’s One for One Movement partners with several charitable organizations to promote their mission and send shoes to needy recipients.

TOMS is a popular brand because of this practice and also because of their comfortable, well made, affordable shoes. Their classic styles appeal to a wide variety of customers. They also have a 100% satisfaction guarantee customer service policy, which means that buying a pair of TOMS shoes is a risk free investment.

TOMS Newest Edition To The TOMS Collections

In addition to everyday men, women, and youth styles, the company often features limited edition TOMS shoes that are only available for a short amount of time. These special styles often coincide with holidays, such as the TOMS Valentine shoes. This women’s shoe is a classic slip on shoe with a front V made of elastic and the company’s signature toe stitch. The insole is constructed of high quality suede and a latex arch for added foot support. The one piece out sole helps promote flexibility and durability. TOMS Valentine shoes are a light gray color dotted with small pink hearts that can be worn on Valentine’s Day and any other day of the year. These limited edition TOMS shoes can be purchased in women’s whole and half sizes from 5 to 12. For those who are in between sizes, TOMS suggests that they order a half size smaller, since most TOMS shoes will stretch slightly with wear as they conform to the wearer’s feet. The suggested retail price of the TOMS Valentine shoes is $54.

TOMS Valentine shoes are an excellent gift for any women who enjoys style and comfort while also supporting a worthy cause. Whether you are undecided on what to give your special someone for Valentines Day or just want something a little extra. TOMS Limited Edition Classics are a sure way to keep the memories of this years Valentines day going forever every time they put on the TOMS Shoes.

Celebrate your Irish history by wearing Celtic jewelry as a fashion accessory. One of my favorite pieces of Celtic jewelry is a claddagh ring. Traditionally it is a a ring that shows two hands holding a heart with a crown above. This symbol stands for love and loyalty.
Irish Claddagh Ring with Diamond
Add a diamond to the center of the heart and you’ve combined Celtic mysticism and Irish Culture with one of the most enduring Western symbols of love. A claddagh ring with diamond has become a popular alternative to a diamond engagement ring and wedding band – and just not for Irish Americans. Many women love the claddagh design, but want their diamond too. This is how they can do it.

A gold claddagh ring with diamond can be very expensive for those on a budget. If this is your situation, don’t worry. You can choose a sterling silver diamond claddagh ring with diamond. It will have the same beautiful sentiment and be a lot less expensive.

Don’t think that a diamond claddagh ring is just for women either. There are stunning masculine designs that incorporate a claddagh that many men would love!

 Looking at the stunning man’s claddagh ring above, you can see why. I love the way that the onyx gemstone showcases the claddagh and diamond design!

Camping, gardening, and festivals- what do these three have in common? Well I’ll tell you. They are all seriously fashionable ways to spend your free time, and they are all seriously muddy too.

Pink and black rain boots

But there’s no need to compromise your style when you pull on protective footwear. You can now buy designer rain boots for men, women and even kids.

Gucci, Ralph Lauren and Chanel are just a few of the big names getting in on the action.

But while they have styles to make your eyes pop, their price tags will probably make your eyes water. And how much do you really want to pay for some footwear that’s going to get covered in mud, even if it does make you look hot while tending the garden.

Thankfully, it is not just the top designers making their mark on the rain boots sector. There are cheaper alternatives, that still pack a punch, without damaging your bank account.

Here are my three favorite brands:

1. Wedge Welly – At 5 ‘ 3″, I’m a little on the short side, and rarely leave the house without my heels on. A rainy day doesn’t mean I have to wear flat footwear. Wedge Welly make rubber rain boots, with wedged heels, giving extra height, while spreading the load so the heels doesn’t sink into wet ground.

2. Bogs – They do pretty patterned boots, but what I really love is the soft, waterproof textile uppers, so much more comfortable than regular rain boots.

3. Sugar – The boot pictured up the top is a Sugar rain boot, and is fairly representative of their loud colors, and in-your-face footwear. I love them.

When I first graduated from college my grandmother gave me a pair of cufflinks for men. I didn’t really understand why she would give me this gift since I had went to school to become a teacher and didn’t really intend to wear a suit to work everyday. It was about a year after my graduation when my grandmother asked me why she had never seen me wear the cufflinks she had given me. I didn’t want to be rude, so I replied as nicely as I could. I simply told her that I loved the gift she and given me and that I would cherish it always, but I did not really have a use of cufflinks. What she said next shocked me.

She told me that if I did not have a use for cufflinks it was because I was still a boy and not a man. I was more than a little offended by this, and I am quite sure that she could see that in my face. She continued by saying that cufflinks for men were not merely a fashion accessory, but they were a sign of your status in life and your maturity level. I respectfully disagreed with her and walked away before the conversation could get any deeper.

I tried to forget what my grandmother had said, and chalk up her opinion to a difference in generational opinion. I however, couldn’t help but begin to notice what kind of men I saw wearing cufflinks. It seemed that my grandmother was right after all. The men that I would see wearing cufflinks were all men who seemed to hold status or importance in their community. They weren’t all highly paid executives, some were pastors and even the principal at the school were I was teaching. These men gave the impression that they took their jobs and their futures seriously without ever speaking a word. The way that they presented themselves spoke volumes about the kind of man that they were.

I began to wear the personalised cufflinks that my grandmother had given me to formal events and meetings. I saw the way that people approached me begin to change. They were no longer treating me like a boy, and began treating me like a true man. I still didn’t feel completely comfortable wearing the cufflinks that my grandmother had bought for me, so I began shopping around. Once I found out that their were cufflinks for men in all different styles, I was sold. I now own a different set of cufflinks for every suit I own.

Of all the accessories a woman has, none is more essential than the handbag. After all, it’s the one item likely contain every other valuable possession a woman has. It’s a personal thing that reflects the nature of any true modern woman. But it’s much more than just a showpiece because it serves a practical purpose as well. There are some essentials that are constant in any woman’s handbag, and no personal collection would be complete without them. Some of them are for emergency use while others help with maintenance, and all are important in their own special way. Here are 6 things every woman should keep in her handbag at all times.

Lipstick – this is such a common item that it’s almost a stereotype. But we all know the toll daily activities take on the lipstick you apply in the morning. Without regular touch-ups, it’s likely that your lips will be bare by the end of the day. This is why you should always have your favorite color (or two) readily handy so you can maintain those luscious lips.

A Mirror – rather than passing by a mall window and trying to discreetly look in a mirror, it’s far better to have one in your handbag. A small mirror helps to make sure you don’t have spinach caught in your teeth and every hair is still in place.

Cellphone – a cell phone serves so many purposes these days that it has truly become invaluable. How else are you going to e-mail your boss, twitter about that great dress you found, or check up on your friends Facebook status?

Nose Powder – there’s nothing worse than developing shine throughout the day which is why it’s absolutely essential you have a bit of a nose powder on hand. It doesn’t matter what your complexion is, stress or Sun can do a number on your skin without this valuable item.

A Little Black Book – this item can take many forms and some women even turn it into a Journal. Whatever the case may be, it’s important to have a place where you can record information or a phone numbers. Sure a cell phone can do that, but what about when you come across a great healthy recipe or new fast weight loss tips?

A Bit of Cash – you’re not going to get very far without a bit of cash on hand these days, and there’s no better place to put it in your trusty handbag. It’s better to have two compartments, one for cash and the other for coins just in case of emergency. A lot of people have made the transition to plastic payments that involve debit or credit cards, but having a bit of cash will always be handy in case of emergency.
