Practical, Theatrical and everything in between.
American Apparel Clothing - These cotton pieces are comfortable,
low-cost and made in Los Angeles. No tags, no logos and a
variety of fun colors and styles. Some pieces, and this is
what we REALLY like, can be worn several different ways. One
of our editors purchased a skirt that can be worn 3 different ways
as a dress and 2 different ways as a skirt!

Purses
Jerome Olivet has designed and created
today's modern purse that is urban cool,
sophisticated and art all in one.
Olivet's purses are constructed of PVC and do
not rely on embellishment for appeal.
These handbags, backpacks and purses are all
design and artistic construction. Purses
can be used by men and women alike and are
offered at a fair price.
Check out the wallet. It has a zipper for your change and keys - very hard to find in wallets.
The backpack is pure genius because the zipper is next to the back instead of being exposed for all people who might want to help themselves to the contents of your backpack!

Comfortable Shoes
We still have yet to find a comfortable shoe that's very sexy if you're idea of sexy is a pair of Manolo's or Jimmy Choo's.
Clark's are comfortable from Day one. Our experience is that most Clark's require no breaking in period. These shoes are like butter. Born shoes are quite similar to Clark's but do seem to need maybe a day or two to make them lived in - still very impressive.
The Cole Hahn's with Nike technology are just wonderful.
Other comfortable shoes are made by: Joseph Siebel, Mephisto, Ecco, also Lowa for quality well-made sneakers.
Nike: Air Zoom Tallac Pro GTX - A versatile light hiking boot with the fit and feel of an athletic shoe plus with plenty of ankle coverage for extra protection. Stylish too.
