Blazin' in that Blazer

A blazer is a type of jacket, worn as a smart casual clothing choose. The term blazer is used as a synonym for boating, sports jacket but are neither. A blazer can look like a suit jacket but has a casual cut. Sometimes they have patch pockets and metal buttons. They usually are made with durable material but not always.

The term blazer started with the red 'blazers' of the Lady Marganet Boat Club, the rowing club of St. John's College, Cambridge. The Lady Marganet jackets were termed blazers because of their bright red 'blazing' color.

Blazers can be worn with a wide variety of clothing. From shirts and ties, to polos. They can go with any type of pants; from traditional white cotton or linen pants to chinos and now of days more commonly jeans.

Blazers are very common and popular and can be worn for almost every situations.

Here are three blazers of similar style in three different price ranges.

Minx!

Minx is the hottest trend in nail design. So what excatly is Minx? Minx is a film with an adhesive on the back that is heat activated. Becuase Minx is heat activated it conformes to the curve of the nail and seals onto it.

Minx is only sold to professional manicurists and they most go thru training.

Minx lasts at lease 1 to 2 weeks (if applied properly). Minx comes in many different styles and the selection depends on what the nail salon is carrying.

Here are two of the designs: Black and White Polka Dots, Golden Lightening

Goggles out, Sunglasses in

Sunglasses are another love of mines. I beileve you should spend a pretty penny on them. If you spend a pretty penny and pick a classical style instead of a trendy one, they will last you forever.

One more tip for sunglasses; you should always go and try them on in person. Try them on your face, just becuase they look nice on the model doesnt mean they will look the same on you.

As the ski season is coming up and people start to hit the slopes. Forget about those ugly goggles and get a great pair of designer sunglasses to keep the glare out of your eyes. Ski good and look good doing it.
