Road Trip Fashion

Every once in a while we all hear the call in our heads: Road Trip! The name alone reminds us of several movies and the first one was Animal House. Who could forget all those drunken guys piling into a car and driving to a bar to see Otis Day and the Nights!

Then the gals jumped on board with Thelma & Louise taking the perpetual road trip that launched the term into pop culture. Now taking a road trip means many different things and looking the part has become important, especially since you probably have a destination in mind and some things to do once you get there. How many road trips have you been on that lead you to Vegas and the term "Whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." The slogan itself is based around the road trip mentality.

Jumping in a car and driving somewhere cool and fun with a group of close friends takes you back to the road trip roots and being comfortable and looking fantastic when you get there is a must. Chances are you're going to be late and you won't have time to change unless you're digging deep into road trip lore and can change in the car.

Try these riding boats from Diego Di Lucca for a comfortable fashion choice for the car ride as well as this Susana Monaco sweater. Not only that, you will look amazing in them wearing skinny jeans and tall boots when pumping gas and getting the head turing looks and occasional snide comments. Those comments are great conversation pieces for the next leg of the trip.

Even if your road trip is a shopping excursion to Chicago or some other big city looking the part is important because you're going to have to eat something and going to a great spot after the day is done is probably in your itinerary. If you're not checking in to a hotel you have to be comfortable all day long and the above out fit will fir the Road Trip Fashion dress code perfectly.

The Miraculous UMF Manuka Honey

UMF Manuka Honey was first introduced to me a few years ago when I got some as a gift. It is a honey that comes from New Zealand. I did some research on it and found out that it was supposedly "medicine."

Unique Manuka Factor, or UMF, is the only worldwide standard in identifying and measuring the antibacterial strength or quality of some strains of Manuka. It guarantees that the honey has the special UMF antibacterial property and a UMF rating of 10 is the minimum recognized. The honey has both natural hudrogen peroxide antibacterial property and its own natural antibacterial property, and these are very stable, unlike the antibacterial property common in most honey.

You can use the honey for wound dressing, it may be effective in helping relieve stomach ulcer symptoms, gastritis, sore throats, and when applied topically, in assisting the natural cure of skin ulcers, wounds, burns, boils, cracked skin.

The higher the UMF, the more expensive it is. The jars are labeled with a registered trademark UMF label in New Zealand. I absolutely love it. I always have a jar, and use it whenever I have a sore throat, cough, cold or flu symptoms. It's better than pumping oneself with over the counter medicines that don't even work. Try it. I think you'll be amazed. Lila.

My New Little Black Jacket

I'm truly obsessed with this little number from C.C. Couture.  It will be perfect over all of my LBD's, that's for sure, but I also see myself wearing this gorgeous piece with my favorite pair of skinny jeans and over-the-knee boots.  This one's definitely going home with me today!

Gorgeous!

Not only is she absolutely gorgeous and a fabulous actress, she can sing!  Gwyneth rocked the stage at the Country Music Awards, singing her hit "Country Strong."  You have to love a gal who has accomplished so much and it still working to achieve more.  Kudos!

Enjoy!

Finally.... A Great Leather Jacket for Fall 2010!!

I can't tell you how many times I've heard someone say they are looking for a hot new leather jacket this Fall. They must be hard to find, which is why it's even MORE exciting that J. LaMore has this new absolutely amazing Truth & Pride Rocker Jacket! I love the neckline and cross body zip. Totally "rocker" but still a flattering fit.

I'd love this jacket worn open over this tunic, my skinnies and those Diego di Lucca Boots! Hot hot hot!!!
