Each year the length of shorts changes, the cut of the Capri pant, the height of the heels.

The biggest bike race in the United States, the Amgen Tour of California, ended on Sunday. This got me to take another look at my tired, a bit rusted, but still functional bike. There really are great benefits to riding a bike; it's fun, it's free (once you have the bike) and it's great exercise. You can also get to the nearest grocery store or restaurant relatively quickly. The days are getting longer, it's time to take out some chain lube and start riding.

One of the biggest obstacles to internet shopping are the shipping charges. That's why

increase of free shipping offered by various online retailers and inspired me to do a round-up of the top fifty online retailers, their shipping policies and how to get free shipping at each of them.

It's a well known trick: accessories can redirect the look of an entire
outfit. Want to class things up? A pearl necklace or diamond studs is
shorthand for Jackie O cool. Add some sass or edge to a corporate
uniform?
Punk-inspired pieces that conjure up a Grace Kelly gone
Blondie. It's the little things that make or break an appearance, taking you from merely presentable to completely pulled together. The
fashion industry knows this--accessories are the biggest game in the
business.
But whether you're saving up for
Balenciaga's motorcycle bag or
thrifting for vintage shoes, here are some surprisingly simple and
essential details that elevate any look.
