Lady Gaga Gets A Style Award

ladygaga3-220409

I wonder what Lady Gaga is going to go as this Halloween season? With her penchant for wearing outrageous outfit all the time, do you think she has more to show and surprise people come Halloween? She’s probably one of the very few stars who can get away in public looking really normal in plain clothes, as we have never really seen what she looks like that way. And whether we have liked or disliked the clothes she wears, one thing is certain, Lady Gaga is a fashion forward princess, and her style is very much her own. Because of this the Accessories Council Excellence Awards (ACE) from New York is giving the pop singer their Stylemaker Award, in acknowledgement of her very individualistic efforts.

The award will be presented by Marc Jacobs, one of Lady Gaga’s friends and preferred designers.

The awards ceremony will be held at the Cipriani and we can’t wait to see what she’s going to wear to receive this award.

Shoe Trend: PG Lite Alegria

Screen shot 2009-10-26 at 5.47.26 AM

If there is one thing I can’t figure out just yet is that — why do “comfortable” shoes have to look so funny and uncomfortable? I mean, look at this one. It has one of those really weird shapes that others may say look better on some dwarf’s feet. But this PG Lite Alegria pair is apparently a godsend to those who have serious foot issues. This style is so comfortable, as the shoe is designed with the right arch support and pad, those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, for instance, will benefit from it so well. The pair is actually sold and come highly recommended from The Healthy Foot Store.

Alegria,  a Spanish word, means “happy” in English, by the way. And the shoe line has plenty of other designs, including open toe sandals and tongs for both men and women.

The shoes are made from materials that keep the feet dry and supported. It’s also made so lightweight, so that it is easier to walk around with it. You can wear this one all day long, without having to worry about straining your feet. It’s also very convenient during a walk in the rain or puddle.

PG Lite Alegria shoes are all featured with the following:

  • removable insole to accommodate custom orthotic
  • anatomically correct footbed
  • rocker outsole to take pressure off heel and metatarsals
  • extra depth for toe wiggle room
  • built-in arch support
  • The shoe designs come in very cute colors and prints…that you can probably overlook the fact that it does appear odd.

    Price range between $95 to $110.

    Jeans Even Oprah Swears By

    cookie-johnson-jeans-425a-081309

    20091015-tows-cookie-johnson-1-284x426

    CJ by Cookie Johnson Jeans is now featured on the Oprah show as the latest media giant’s favorite. Oprah Winfrey calls this “The perfect jeans for real women with real booties.” She says she was worn it three days straight and as any big-bootied woman knows, shopping for jeans require more work. There’s a lot of fitting, trial and error that goes with it.

    So, thank God for this jeans, which comes from the design idea of Cookie Johnson, wife of legendary basketball player, Magic Johnson. She has a degree in retailing at the Michigan State University and has partnered with Michael Glasser, who is of course, the man behind Seven For All Mankind, a most fashion forward and preferred jeans line by women.

    Says Cookie:  ”I had a hard time finding a jean to fit me. Every time I [would] go to the stores, I put the jeans on and I couldn’t get them past my thighs. I thought: ‘I’m in good shape. I work out. I eat healthy. Why can’t I find a jean to fit me?’ My partner, Michael Glasser, is an expert at fabrics, and he searched all over and found these wonderful fabrics from Europe that had great stretch to them but were so comfortable at the same time.”

    As an added touch, these jeans have silk on the waistband, making it more presentable and stylish.

    CJ Jeans come in many different styles and colors and is available at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales for sizes 2-18 and between $140 to $200.

    Walmart Starts Home Delivery Scheme

    walmartRetail giant, Walmart, has just announced the launched of its Health & Beauty Home Delivery Service, where customers can conveniently receive or purchase items such as vitamin, over the counter medication and diapers in their homes. All that the consumer has to do is to shop online at www.walmart.com/health and they will find that brand names like Neutrogena, Colgate, L’Oreal and plenty more, have been included in the shopping inventory. This convenience affords shoppers huge cut backs and savings in time and money.

    According to the store’s chief merchant:

    “Customers have long trusted Walmart to provide the best values on health and beauty brands in our stores, and now customers can also access these savings online at Walmart.com with the convenience of home delivery. By offering savings on our customers’ favorite health and beauty items online and in our stores, we can better help our customers shop the way they want.”

    Home shipping will only cost the consumer about .97 cents. This service was not previously made available considering Walmart stores are everywhere. But perhaps this is the company’s way of widening their reach (and therefore, profits).

    Additionally, consumers may also request free samples of health and beauty products which may be possible via www.walmart.com/samples.
