One of the best things about clothing and shoes is that you can mix and match various styles for different settings and activities.

One such casual style is wearing cowboy boots, which offers a wealth of style possibilities begging to be explored.
If you're like most curvy females, tights, heels and a blouse are essential elements to your wardrobe. The trick is choosing the right top to flatter your figure. If you've got curves, embrace them and diminish unflattering angles in neutral tees, corseted blouses, deep v-necks and loose button-downs.
Most dresses -- even if they are festooned with flowers, ruffles, feathers or sequins -- are versatile. To transition your loose sequin dress from nighttime drama to daytime fabulous, pair your sparkly dress with luxe leggings for a look that is laid back and cool. Use seasonally appropriate fabrics to add polish and panache to your favorite sequined frock.

The only reason there is to question any combo is dependent on your mood.

When the pediatrician asks if your baby has started creeping yet, you might not know quite how to answer. That's OK because your doctor might not be asking what he thinks he is, either. Some people -- medical personnel included -- use the terms, "creeping" and "crawling" interchangeably. To others, these terms mean two different things. The Miller-Keane Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Health defines creeping as moving along the ground using arms and legs with the trunk off the ground.

More people than ever began drinking, only this time in illegal establishments called “speakeasies,” aptly named as a password often had to be whispered -- patrons had to "speak easy" -- to get in.

It's an ongoing battle -- companies large and small do their best to track our Web browsing habits, while we do our best to keep our surfing as private as possible. That's why it was so huge when the major browsers started rolling out "private mode" browsing. Finally, we could click a mouse and become invisible…right? Not so fast.
