Their exclusive designs and elegant silhouettes have become favorites among celebrity moms including Katie Holmes, Victoria Beckham and Heidi Klum.


My Take on the Dresses
These are beautiful dresses that just flow when worn. My girls felt like true princesses and while I did not take a video, you can probably see that Diva-J loved spinning and spinning and watching the dress simply fly up around her, letting her feel like a true flapper. After wearing these I showed my girls some of the dresses and dress styles from the 20's and they thought they were very cool, much like their dresses were.

The dresses were very well constructed and a few friends saw the girls in the dresses and continuously asked who made them and where we got them and I was happy to share with them the company and the website. I encourage anyone with girls to check out this site as it truly will make your girls feel like princesses in their own right!

My Take on the Socks
My feet are always cold in the winter and so often I have to wear two pairs of socks, especially when I go outside with my kids for winter play or when I have to shovel the driveway. No longer! These socks are so warm and have allowed me to remove one pair of socks so that I can go outside and only have to wear this pair and my feet remain warm and snug. For the price, you cannot ask for more. I have nothing but positive things to say about these socks, so if you are looking for warmth in a pair of socks, look no further than these!

Lee Jean Shorts Give The Chance To Be Comfortable and Stylish

All opinions expressed in this review are my own and not influenced in any way by the company.  Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider. Please refer to this site's Disclaimer  for more information. I have been compensated or given a product free of charge, but that does not impact my views or opinions.



About the Shorts

Trend-right styling makes this belted short a must-have. The Compound features zip welt pockets stacked on top of cargo pockets on each leg.


  • OVERALL FIT: Loose
  • RISE: Just below the waist
  • LENGTH: Just below the knee (11 1/2")
  • COLLECTION: Lee Dungarees
  • CLOSURE: Button, Zip-Fly
  • NUMBER OF POCKETS: 8
  • BACK POCKET STYLE: Welt, Flap
  • IMPORTED: Yes
  • MANUFACTURER STYLE: 21832

My Take on the Shorts
When it becomes warmer outside then it is time for me to take out my shorts not only to cool down but to take part in the Michigan tradition of getting rid of our pale legs from winter. I was excited to have the chance to try out some of the new Lee Jeans Shorts. I chose to try the Compound Cargo pants and I have to say that the shorts were so comfortable. On top of this they had so many pockets to hold things in. As a father I am always having to carry many things, from small to large to both help my kids and myself and this did just that. Finally for me these shorts made me look much "younger" as my wife put it. She stated that the other shorts that I owned made me look a lot older than I was, so I was happy to hear that my wife thought so, and if she thought this I am sure that others thought the same. I highly recommend these shorts to all, I know you will be as impressed with them as I was!

Prep Sportswear

Prep Sportswear is the one stop shop for custom apparel and gear featuring your school, college, Greek, military and more. Their portfolio of brands covers all the bases and offers officially licensed merchandise in styles that speak to your individual taste. “Just because you go to the same school doesn’t mean you are the same person,” says Chad Hartvigson Founder and CEO who went on to say, “I created Prep Sportswear as a way for people to show their affiliation in a way that shouts who they are!”
Prep Sportswear

The custom process starts with picking your school, college or other organization. Then choose from a wide array of t-shirts, sweatshirts, pants, etc... and select the logo along with custom options.

Prep Sportswear


My Take on the Product
Are you ever looking to get a new shirt or sweatshirt for your favorite team (Both well known and more obscure)? If so, I would recommend heading over to Prep Sportswear to check out the large array of clothing that they have available. You will find teams that you know as well as teams that you may never have even considered in the past. On top of this they have so much more than just sports team as well. I was able (as you can see) to try out a new Detroit Lions Hooded Sweatshirt. The Sweatshirt quality was top notch and the letters on the front were screen printed on (though there were embroidered options on some as well). In looking at the website, I liked how much customization you can do on the apparel that you are planning to purchase as well as it allows you to make your apparel truly your own. 

All-in-all this was a great company with so much to choose from. While you will not find all teams, you will find a ton! I encourage you to go and check out Prep Sportswear for yourself to see what you can find!

With Father’s Day right around the corner, Würkin Stiffs, the designer of functional business style accessories for men, is partnering with non-profit organization Career Gear to help raise money to help low-income men reach self-sufficiency by preparing them to enter the workforce.

To date, over 35,000 men have been served through Career Gear’s job readiness program which provides men who seek to better themselves against great odds with business appropriate clothing. For those men improving their work skills and employability, the basic offering of a clean business suit is a simple, yet powerful tool in finding and maintaining employment.

Today providing suits for a job interview is just the first step. Career Gear has grown into a multidimensional nonprofit serving the needs of its participants through three distinct and congruent programs: The Job Readiness Program, The Professional Development Series and MAST, a mentoring program.

To this end, Würkin Stiffs has pledged to donate 3% of all sales at retail and online to Career Gear beginning May 16th and ending on Father’s Day June 16th, 2013. The company’s goal is to raise $5,000 for the cause which will help to better the lives of up to 50 men.

With a robust line of style accessories for men who want to present a professional image, Würkin Stiffs is well-suited for partnering with such an empowering charitable organization as Career Gear. “It is amazing the extent to which Career Gear is able to help turn struggling men’s lives around by providing the simplest of business necessities and services,” said Jon Boos, CEO of Würkin Stiffs. “We are very excited and proud to contribute to their ongoing success.”

The Würkin Stiffs product line features the company’s signature Power Stays®, the only magnetic collar stay to keep dress shirt collars in perfect place without the need for a stuffy old tie. To go along with its dress shirt and Polo Stays®, Würkin Stiffs also has a line of cufflink Knotz™ in snazzy color combos that are the statement-making Father’s Day accessories dear old Dad will actually put to regular use. Additionally, stainless steel cufflinks featuring art from renowned artists as Peter Tunney, along with one-of-a-kind patterns and periodic table combinations allow Dad to express his true personality at the office. Companion RFID blocked magic wallets, passport wallets and money clips round out the Würkin Stiffs collection.

Bobbi-Toads’ are Fashionable Fun for Kids’ Feet

About the Shoes
Even at an early age, little girls seem to love fashion. They play dress up, they paint their nails, they do their hair and they have fun with their clothes. And now they can even paint their shoes. Introducing Bobbi-Toads, a new line of shoes for girls with “toes” that can be painted with nail polish. Bobbi-Toads officially launched today, just in time for the holiday season.

The Bobbi-Toads line of shoes for girls includes six different styles, featuring a variety of colors and designs available in both Velcro and lace-up closures. “These are a fun shoes that make feet fashionable for little girls,” explains Jacki Stanley, co-owner of Bobbi-Toads. “We wanted to give girls the ability to express themselves, make a unique fashion statement and, most of all, have fun.”

Using non-toxic nail polish, girls are able to paint the shoes just as they would their own toes. When they’ve changed their outfit or even their mood, simply use nail polish remover to clean the shoes and apply a different color.

“The polish is easy to change and won’t stain the shoes, meaning girls can change it as often as they like to keep their feet fashionable,” adds Stanley.


The shoes come in a variety of sizes as well, ranging from little girls’ 11-13 to big girls’ 1-6, and are available online at www.bobbitoads.com for $49.95. Bobbi-Toads also offers non-toxic Bobbi-Polish and polish remover via the company’s website. The polish comes in ten shades, from Cotton Candy pink and Doodle Ball blue to Forest Dew green and Sweet Frosty Grape purple.

My Take on the Shoes
My girls love these shoes! Not only are the colors that are available amazingly bright and vibrant, but even beyond this, they are unique, which in their minds is even better! On top of this they thought the the ideas of having toes on their shoes was cool, and having mom and dad tell them that they could put nail polish on the shoes, you should have seen their eyes! My girls have also told me that the shoes are very comfortable and with the amount of time that they now wear the shoes, I guess this is so. If you have never heard of these shoes, and you have girls, you definitely need to go to the Bobbi-Toads' website and check out the variety as I think you and your kids will be impressed...I know that my girls and I were!

The Enzo Jumper Boot - A Great Boot for Any Girl


The Enzo Jumper boot features statement style in three different ways!

Faux leather upper has a removable shaft so girls can wear the boot as a full shaft or short shaft. Elastic gore at the sides allows for an easy, slip-on fit.

Durable rubber outer sole. Available in black sparkles or leopard print. Both come with solid black shaft.

My Take on the Boots
These boots were very cool and my daughter thought they were very stylish as well. One of the best things about the boots was the fact that they were interchangeable for the spats that came with them, so no matter whether you wanted to wear them as black boots, or as leopard skin colored boots, or even if you wanted to forgo the spats altogether and wear the boots as ankle boots, you had so many choices. The boots also went with many different clothing options and with the rugged exterior, you get to have footwear that will be able to handle the elements during the winter, and in Michigan, that is a necessity!

All-in-all I highly recommend these books to anyone that is looking for a versatile boot that can withstand the winter elements. This was a stylish boot that will make any young girl smile!

Gift Guide - Coolibar ( @coolibar ) Offers Great Clothes Which Keep You Safe



About the Clothing


If there’s one thing that can ruin a camping trip or family vacation, it’s sunburn. Summer vacation season is in full swing and travelers can pack less greasy sunscreen when they pack Coolibar, the sun protection you wear.  From crush-proof hats and Henley beach dresses for women to swimwear for infants, to great shirts for men, Coolibar offers protection for the whole family. Coolibar provides effortless style leaving more time for fun on summer trips. The on-trend lifestyle clothing will take you from the beach to the cafe, all while blocking 98% of UV rays.

Coolibar has stylish options for everyone, so parents can rest assured that their children are protected even at summer camp and during backyard playtime. Check out Coolibar’s sun-protective umbrellas and sun shelters for long days at the beach. Where there is sun, Coolibar is sure to protect!  

My Take on the Product
Coolibar offers a novel concept, and that is to offer comfort in regards to the clothes that you wear while providing you complete protection from the harmful UV rays that are prevalent no matter what season you are in.

The jacket that I am wearing above is so comfortable.It is lightweight and blocks out a huge amount of the UV rays that are hitting my body. What I love about this jacket is that it breathes (not literally) but it allows me to be able to be comfortable both in warm or cool temperatures.

I also love the wide array or products that the company provides and can easily see some of the bathing suits in our family's future! I love the idea of not having to continually apply and reapply sunscreen when wearing these clothes!

All-in-all these clothes not only look good but are comfortable and are ones that I would highly recommend to one and all!

Fly Guy T-Shirts Are Stylish and Unique!


About the Product
Fly Guy, the t-shirt brand embodying the motto “Do you stay fly” was created earlier this year by brother duo Austin and Preston Anguilm. The young minds behind Fly Guy were inspired to create a clothing line that would appeal to fashion forward youngsters, but at the same time focus on promoting the positive message of staying true to oneself.

The brothers’ styles influence everything they do, whether they are riding, balling or making money. With their entrepreneurial spirit and personal style as their motivation, the boys have launched their new hooded sweatshirts that are spunky and bold just like they are.

The launch of these sweatshirts comes just in time, with winter right around the corner. Kids will stay warm and fly with the Fly Guy brand sweatshirt, whether they are at school, playing sports or hanging with friends. The unique Fly Guy designs stylishly embellish the hoodies on the back and sleeves. The hoodie comes in two colors, black and white with design colors that coordinate with each.


Although they are young, Austin (13 years old) and Preston’s (8 years old), philosophy behind their brand is something that everyone should be inspired by. They do not believe in negativity and want those who rock Fly Guy to always stay true to themselves and stay fly no matter what they are doing.

My Take on the Product
These shirts are so much fun, not only because of the artwork that is on it, but also all the bright colors and cartoons on it. My girls loved the shirts, just look at the smiles on their faces and they thought that the fly was "too cool" as they put it. The shirts are of high quality and I was impressed in looking at the overall breakdown of the variety of shirts and sweatshirts that they had. There were a few additional designs that I thought were cool as well, and I love the look of the new Hooded sweatshirts (though I have not tried them personally). Overall, I was quite impressed and I think you will be as well!

fodada Color Collection Is Making a Difference!

fodada, a men's fashion line created just for dads, is announcing the launch of its Color for Cause series. Staying true to fodada's objective of taking care of dads and all that is important to them, founder Bobby Barzi is excited to announce the limited-edition color capsule collections and give back to various causes.

fodada's current line consists of basic styles and colors. This intentional design mantra allows the brand to stay basic and simple, combining comfortable and understated hip styles to make any dad's wardrobe complete. "Our core line will continue to be developed around the current band of colors, but I certainly think that any dad's wardrobe can use a splash. When adding color to the fodada line, I wanted it to be meaningful. As our brand is cause driven, so are our line expansions." Says Barzi.

Launching today, the first palette of the color collection series will hope to generate exposure and funds for autism. fodada will donate 50% of profits from the online sales of the powder blue line to Autism Speaks, the nation's largest autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism.

The limited-edition collection will feature a powder blue casual tri-blend "Dada Hoodie" ($86) "Baba T "($33) and "Baba T V-Neck " ($35.) The collection will also include a women's "Mama Hoodie" ($86) and "lil T" shirts for kids ($18.) The items will be available exclusively online from September -October, just in time to support the 2012 Orange County Walk Now for Autism Speaks on October 13th; www.fodadawear.com.

Start hitting the Slopes in Style with Icebox Knitting

About the Product
From snowboarder to entrepreneur, Josh McGlothin transformed his need for a warm knit hat while on the slopes into a career that has lasted almost two decades.

Icebox Knitting's Dohm and Xob brands are leaders in a country that craves homegrown products and environmentally friendly practices. Their commitment to crafting high quality knit hats and accessories from upcycled materials has put them on the map and kept their hand operated knitting machines bounding forward. Trained by knit ski-wear veteran Richard Kreuger, McGlothin and co-owner Scott Baker have furthered the 45-year legacy of knitting in the Rockies and making better products right here in the USA.

The original Dohm was first created in 1994, and is crafted on their famous hand operated machines. It has received some tantalizing updates for the 2012 season, including brushed shiny mohair, appliques, recycled, organic, next-to-skin merino wool yarns, and sophisticated color combinations. Their Wool in the Hand Paint hat and hand warmer are sourced from family owned Wyoming ranches dedicated to sound animal husbandry and sustainable agricultural practices. Each skein of wool is hand painted to create a truly unique piece every time.

Made from recycled wool that has been shredded and spun into new yarn, the Dohm Stellar boasts an environmental impact of 98% less than its newly made counterparts. This modern day beanie boasts a comfortable fit in a myriad of colors. Just slip it on and revel in the cuddly fleece lining and felted star detail.

The Xob Upcycled is cut and sewn by hand and reflects the fun and unconventional stylings of the artisans behind the stitches. The Xob Soft Visor transforms panels from re-purposed sweaters and Berber fleece into a cozy and well-insulated hat with bursts of color and wild patterns. The material wicks moisture away, keeps the head dry during a rainy day, and provides UV protection.

The Xob Hand Warmer is also crafted from upcycled sweaters that are then over-stitched using fine Italian boucle yarn. A solid semi-felted wool is paired with colorful accents along the finger tips and thumb area, leaving fingers free to grip, text, or hold hands.

Based in Longmont, Colorado, Icebox Knitting has been committed to using sustainable resources and practices since 1994. Their machines are powered by hand and their products comprised of world class woolly yarns produced under the strictest environmental standards and materials that have been transformed from waste into a whole new life and purpose. Their commitment to the environment hasn't gone unnoticed. Apparel Magazine presented them with a Sustainability award in 2012 for many reasons, including their textile recycling program and their achievement of having diverted over thirty thousand pounds of waste from landfills.

My Take on the Product
What I loved most about this is the whole idea of reusing textiles to make some amazing, warm items for people. The hat that I received was so warm and I can tell that anyone that uses one of these, whether it be for skiing, sledding or whatever a person chooses to do outside in cold weather, they will be happy with their selection. My daughter said that she loved the bright colors as well as the warmth as well. All-in-all, I was very impressed with the overall quality of construction as well as the mission and vision of the company, as this is one company that is doing something to impact our overall global infrastructure and I have to highly commend them on that! If you are looking for some unique, warm items for the upcoming winter, think upclycled and check out Icebox Knitting!
