About Belt Buckles

Image : http://www.flickr.com

According to the NEW Lexicon Webster’s Dictionary, a Buckle is “a stiff fastening attached to one end of a belt, ribbon, strap, etc., the other end being threaded through it and secured by a hole over its spiked tongue as and when required; a similar device in the form of an ornament . . .”

Belt buckles are “hot” today, and can add style and fashion to any look. They have been in existence for many years, having started, basically, as a utilitarian device. However, today they are available in a vast array of designs, styles, and uses.

Hearts, flowers, butterflies, are most frequently incorporated in and designed as ladies’ belt buckles. These can be found in bright enameled colors, sparkling rhinestones, and pastel colors. Belt buckles can be worn with a pair of jeans, or with slacks to coordinate an outfit and add some fun, or even with a skirt as a bright accessory adding your own personal fashion style. Ladies’ belt buckles can be found in so many colors and designs that the choice to match or contrast with your outfit-of-the-moment-of-the-day is only limited by your imagination.

All belt buckles that do not obviously and specifically fit into the “ladies’” category, are promoted for both men and women. Now that’s not to say that if you are a flower-loving man, you can’t wear a flower belt buckle . . . or a heart-loving man, that you can’t wear a heart belt buckle. Don’t get me wrong. You can wear whatever belt buckle you like. So there!

Specially designed western belt buckles appeal to cowboys or cowgirls. They include rodeo belt buckles or beautifully ornate silver belt buckles inlaid with turquoise, as well as bull or skull belt buckles. Some belt buckles represent occupations – almost all occupations have been displayed on a belt buckle, whether it be a trucker belt buckle, fireman belt buckle, plumber belt buckle . . . just choose the occupation you prize and it probably can be found.

Military belt buckles and American belt buckles are true emblems of patriotism, and can be worn with utmost pride and in humble honor. Words need not be spoken. Many American belt buckles include the USA flag or the eagle. Some speak of Freedom or Rights or Love for our country. But all American belt buckles portray devotion and deep gratitude for a country built and unified by and for the common goals of “the people.”

Biker belt buckles boast a life of their own – rough, tough, wild, death-defying, indestructible. Slogans such as “Live to Ride” or “Ride to Live” are proud, purpose-driven mottos inscribed on many biker belt buckles. Bikers ride with wild abandonment, with an air of ownership of the roads. It’s hard to know what came first: the biker belt buckle or the biker attitude . . .! Bikers wear their biker belt buckles as an obvious adornment, yet with a casual nonchalance that belies their persnickety obsessive angst at finding the slightest scratch or ding or smudge on their “metal,” be it bike or buckle!

Cross, Christian, and religious belt buckles convey messages of faith, hope and love. Christian belt buckles are worn with bold conviction and fervent faith, offering promises of peace and justice for all. Often Bible verses are inscribed on the backs of these cross belt buckles, worn close to the body as a “shield of faith.” Religious belt buckles are often worn to invite conversation about the basic meaning of life.

Personalized, or initial belt buckles satisfy many categories and purposes. These belt buckles make great gifts and should be seriously considered for the person who seems “to have everything.” These unique and ultra personal belt buckles are special tokens of appreciation for wedding party members, or can be ideal family reunion mementos, or great as Birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, graduations gifts, “I thought of you today” gifts, or simply ‘just because’ gifts.

Not only can belt buckles be worn to accessorize by adding color and zing! to an outfit, they can also be worn to convey a message. Some belt buckles merely imply a message, through the choice of the design; others leave no doubt, their message emblazoned in graffiti or logo or image. Regardless, a message can be blatantly stated on a belt buckle – silently stated, but clearly read or implied. These unique belt buckles are often worn to express a passion, a philosophy . . . or even hopelessness.

Today you can find sports team belt buckles, business logo belt buckles, and can even order custom-made belt buckles according to your own wildest imagination and specifications and for your own purpose or project. The possibilities are endless.

Belt buckles are very “hot” today, collectible always, and may become truly valuable tomorrow. In the meantime, there is nothing better than a belt buckle belt to hold up your pants!

Shopping Essentials? Stretching Your Dollar to the Max For Clothing Prices

Image : http://www.flickr.com

When it comes to clothes, it doesn’t matter whether you love to shop or you strictly go shopping for the essentials – getting a good deal is important, especially these days. But searching for bargains can be time-consuming. And unless you are purchasing a brand you know and trust, a “bargain” blue t-shirt could shrink to a faded throwaway the first time it’s laundered – and that costs you money.

So how do you stretch your clothing dollar without looking like you have the recession-budget blues? Here are some smart shopping essentials to keep in mind.

Make A Decision Before You Buy and focus on shopping essentials

It’s not really necessary to make a decision about exactly how much you want to spend, as long as you have an approximate clothing budget in mind before you start shopping. What is essential? A shopping list. Write down what you need, beginning with wardrobe basics, like black pants in an updated style. Also, note what’s missing, like colorful accessories, when you check the mirror after you’re dressed. Add those items to your shopping essentials list.

Keep a list and prioritize the items by what is “fashion filler” (wants) and what is shopping essentials (needs). If you run across something lower down on the list as you shop, consider it, especially if it includes a discount. Sticking to an essential shopping list (one with room for unexpected finds) will help keep you focused on what you will actually wear.

Eliminate Extra Costs Up Front

Some people drive from store to store to get the best deals on different items, spending more money on gas than they save on their purchases. Be sure to factor in the time, energy and auto costs associated with store shopping; essentials to consider in the price you pay. Without losing the store shopping experience, you can save time and money by shopping for clothing on sale at local retailers, and at thrift shops close to your home or work location.

Take Your List Online

Of course, online shopping offers what is probably the best ways to stretch your clothing dollar. First, you eliminate the inconvenience and costs associated with driving to the mall, and most stores offer the same clothing selection on the web. Online retailers provide highly competitive pricing, the selection is practically unlimited, and you can often get low-cost or free shipping.

In looking for ways to stretching your clothing dollar to the max, there are the tried-and-true strategies, like garage sales, thrift shops, discount stores, sales racks and online shopping. But regardless of where you shop, use your shopping essentials list. Buying clothes you want and will definitely wear truly helps you get the maximum value from a minimum budget.

Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam

Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam I bought this for a couple of pairs of DMs that I own, including a “Made in England” pair that I am very proud of and have worn almost daily for over two years. They were starting to get a little tired looking, but this stuff has given them a whole new lease of life. I had originally been using dubbin and more recently mink oil on them, which was OK, but I found it went on quite thick and was leaving lots of gunk in the lacing around the sole. This stuff goes on much smoother and thinner, especially with the little applicator sponge that you get and makes my shoes look much smarter. It is obviously much more expensive that regular shoe polish or mink oil, but it is far superior and you don’t really need to use much to do a shoe, so it will last ages (I did two pairs of shoes with just the residue on the lid). I would highly recommend it. Dr. Martens: A unique blend of coconut oil, lanolin and beeswax. These all-natural ingredients clean and protect leather to keep it soft and supple. For use on all leather, except suede types. Use it on all things leather … shoes, handbags, jackets, even furniture.

Mirror Tinted Contact Lenses: Wild, and Practical Too

Image : http://www.flickr.com

As a contact lens wearer, if you have searched the various

lens options available on the market today, you’ve probably

noticed that there are a lot of features to choose from. Some

are fairly standard, and are mainly related to your eyesight

correction and comfort. However, many features are now

offered that are designed for your personal preferences and

style. One such type of lenses are mirror tinted contact

lenses. At first, you may think they are some kind of wild

and crazy idea. But when you learn more about them, you

realize they take care of some very real and important

needs, and you may just decide that you’d like to try a pair

yourself.

For example, if you’re involved in sports, you know how

important eyewear can be. In many sports, players who

need vision correction often struggle when trying to find

eyewear that can help them see the way they need to, but

which is still comfortable and doesn’t interfere with their

performance. Many athletes have trouble with sun glare,

when they need to focus on a ball while playing outdoors

and facing the sun. Some people experiment with tinted

goggles or sunglasses that strap on, but most of them end

up missing the convenience of wearing nothing but contacts

which are barely noticeable.

With mirror tinted contact lenses, an athlete can have the

best of both worlds – convenience and sun protection. A

baseball pitcher can pitch a game facing into the sun, and

with mirrored contacts they don’t have to hassle with the

irritation of sweaty, clouded goggles, or sunglasses that

partially block their field of vision. Goggles or glasses can

also be dangerous if they are struck by a ball or another

player during play. A soccer player wearing mirror tinted

contacts can block out the sun, but still be agile and

aggressive, not having to working about having sunglasses

or goggles knocked off.

Even if you’re not an athlete, you may be one of those

people have an extreme sensitivity to light. Perhaps

standard tinted contacts don’t help and you need the extra

protection of mirror tinting, but you’d like to avoid the

discomfort of wearing sunglasses for long periods of time.

Or, you may not have extra sensitivity, but you are

involved in activities where you will spend lots of time in

bright sun, like at the beach or on long road trips. In either

case, mirror tinted contact lenses may be the perfect

solution.

Not only are mirrored contacts practical, they can also be

wild and fun. Even if you don’t need to block the sun, you

may want to experiment with them as a cool effect at

parties or other occasions. You can be the life of the party

when people see your shiny mirrored eyeballs. If you really

get into it, you’ll even find that there’s a whole variety of

colored contacts, special effects contact lenses (”Special

FX”), theatrical contacts, and novelty contact lenses that

you can play around with.

You can have a lot of fun with mirrored contacts. Just

remember, they can be extremely practical, too. You will

definitely want to try them if you’re sensitive to light, will

be involved in activities exposing you to the sun for long

periods, or you’re into sports and want the convenience of

contacts and sun-blocking that you’ve previously gotten

only from sunglasses and goggles. Try out mirror tinted

contact lenses for yourself and you’ll be pleased to find that

you can finally have the best of both worlds, and have fun

at the same time.
