Oh you uggly ugg boots,

only if you weren’t uggly,

ugghhrrrr, ugg, ugly!

Jack sparrow is angry,

his ugg boots are ugly,

ugghhrrr, what a day!

An unavoidable circumstances led to the end of one year and the beginning of another. And with an inbuilt nature of striving to be the best of ourselves, most of us made new year resolutions.

Among the wildest, or most ambitious resolutions that were made were humble efforts, wishes, and dreams to more fashionable.

Made by Niki boutique saw the opportunity and took matters into its hands; “turn innerwear into outerwear”. That would obviously get you eyeballed, maybe ogled, perhaps even break some necks and most definitely give you a head start into your year long resolution.

With an ever glamorous and gorgeous collection of dinky clean-edge thongs, boy shorts, bras, high-waist nippers, tank tops and a lot more, the boutique says that you will be nipped in and perfectly poised from boardroom to tavern and there between.

“Slinkies is our most exciting development ever. They make you feel amazing – pert, bouncy and full of fun – they put a spring in your step and make you stand taller. Strutting into a room with the pencil dress on – you know your body looks its absolute hottest, and you’re going to turn heads. There are so many ways to style the garments, you’ll never run out of ideas, and they are so simple and portable – easy to take wherever you go!”

And fortunately enough, there are only two ways to find out exactly how that feat will be achieved. Either ask them or get the garment and do the experiment yourself. For those who are daring, practical and as experimental as scientists, the second option would be the way to go.

Good luck with your quests of all nature. Please drop us some 411 when you find out that which might be of benefit to us. For now, everything remains a luta continua as the faithful and unstoppable clock ticks on.

As the French parliament makes a move to barn women wearing a face veil, one cannot help but think about the world of fashion that is going to be created as a result.

And perhaps an even interesting question is, are we going from being conservatives, showing less skin, to radicals, put it out there baby?

For those who have had the prestige of bringing up kids, we know how unfashionable things can get when we tell our teenage sons and daughters what to or not to wear. Moreover, we fail to understand what drives their fashion preferences or passions.

A burqini. A burqa & bikini, for sun protection and body cover.

To what extent should fashion be determined by law makers? And should we care about losing our cultural heritage, our passion and our fashion?

When a certain fashion becomes part of who we are, should we at some point abandon it? Should we be allowed to indulge in our passions? Are we free to dress as we desire irrespective of who we are?

Does this mean that artists, writers, photographers and Pollywood lose the right as well to use abolished fashion in their art?

The ugly truth about ugly things is that its ugly. Perfection in fashion is as rare as truth in science or justice in law or honesty in politics.

The ugg boots, their ugg:ness is short lived by being worn. And unlike crocs or other popular footwear, the do literary wear off the moment they are worn.

I have not worn a pair so far but I think that comfy, lightness or coziness depending on the wearer is the main asset.

Looking at a pair worn over a few days feels like looking at a badly stored loaf of bread. Specifically one that is not able to hold is intended shape anymore.

Ugghhrrrrr, only if breads could be baked to be breads.

Thats an amazing feat for a shoe, not! What makes the bread terrible for footwear is that it loses structural support not only externally but also internally and to make matters worse, it does that in a record time.

Within two weeks of constant wear, one can already make out the shape of the wearers leg from the outside, the inner expands sometimes adopting the shape of the wearer’s feet. Most often surpassing any ideal shape for a shoe or a leg for that matter.

And if that is not enough, like a structure that is so much in need of demolition, the uggs can no longer stand on themselves.

Structural reinforcement would be needed to get to 30. And by then, the soles will have given way, making the pair looks like a home experiment gone wrong.

And I can’t help but wonder how they manage to get these stuff to fly of the shelves. But then again it was an indoor shoe made transformed to an outdoor affair without much thought..

Bigger lips, bigger feet, both or none. What are you?

Well then, here’s what researchers think about you.

But then again a bigger bum, hips and thighs is healthy. So no matter what side the coin lands on, its a win win situation for all.

perfume, the story of a scent

They say that if a man can produce an air of mystery about himself, he always has the upper hand when dealing with the public.

The same can be said about a prom queen who even though comely, without trying, becomes the belle of the prom.

A prom queen dresses in a snazzy dress that of course may have vintage ties striving for a fashionably attractive and confident look that is not shy of being eyeballed and leaves her free of any qualm.

Some of the prom dresses featured at David’s Prom.

A perfect prom dress is the epitome of prom fashion, it is everything but bland and leaves the prom attendee feeling great throughout the occasion, the after prom and the after parties.

David’s prom strives to fulfill the dreams of a perfect prom dress, offering a sorted variety of prom dresses in different styles, designs and color to match every taste, preference and theme.

And with fine accessories and and a selection of shoes to accompany a desired dress, elegance adds to the pizzazz.

From the formal gathering, to dinner, to accompanying that tuxedo to a dance, and what have you, a right dress will leave no end for the things in the heart; sweet memories to be cherished forever.
