Cowboy Hats back in fashion

FASHION - My friends and I think cowboy hats are coming back into style. We think its because of the film True Grit but maybe its just a cyclical thing. (We also think the film 'Country Strong' might have something to do with it, even though we HATE that film.)

Shown here is a Stetson black cowboy hat. Stetson was the inventor of the cowboy hat and is still considered the best company when it comes to making cowboy hats. (Like Levis inventing jeans.)

The thing about cowboy hats is that they can be quite stylish, while simultaneously looking adventurous.

To show you what I mean about how cowboy hats being stylish I've collected some images of various celebrities, athletes, supermodels and fashion models wearing cowboy hats.

I think the mere fact Emma Watson is wearing a cowboy hat signifies it has gained a wider acceptance as a fashion item, similar to how fedoras, swisses and hamburgs are so popular right now. See Mens Hats.

The Tuxedo Hoodie

FASHION - A friend of mine in Toronto, a guy, wants to make tuxedo with a hoodie so he can wear it to art galleries and be (without a doubt) the kewlest dressed person in the room.

I admit, fashion conscious heterosexual men are a rarity, but I can say "You go man! You da man!"

The Fairies Pyjamas

FASHION - The Fairies Pyjamas is a cute little boutique shop in Toronto's Kensington Market (its easy to find in the alley of fashion shops) which sells a wide array of handmade clothing... and my favourite, arm and leg warmers!

For those that don't know, Kensington Market is just west of Chinatown and just north of the Queen Street West fashion district.

The Fairies Pyjamas

Toronto, ON M5T2J8
(647) 343-1876

Check out thefairiespyjamas.com and don't forget to visit the other great shops in Kensington Market to check out great local fashion.

Afterwards I recommend stopping for espresso, tea (33+ flavours), coffee or whatever you fancy at "Espresso Etc" at 350 Dundas Street West, directly across from the Art Gallery of Ontario (just east of Chinatown).

Hungry? I recommend the Rol San Restaurant, north of Dundas on Spadina, or the Furama Bakery, south of Dundas on Spadina. Don't forget to check out the local shops in Chinatown for great bargains and items you won't find anywhere else.

If you want to make a day of it I recommend going on a Wednesday because it will be less crowded and the AGO is free on Wednesday nights.

Love Art History? The AGO is the largest art gallery in Canada and one of the top five in North America.

Teddy Bear Jacket

FASHION - I just LOVE this jacket made out of teddy bears. Its by artist/designer Sebastian Errazuriz (who also brought us the zipper dress).

I want one!

Motor Mode - What You Need

Travel teeth say a lot about who you are as motorcyclists, but most important is that the motorcycle gear that has to protect in an accident. How well you look at the jacket does not matter if the items are damaged when it hit the ground. And it's not good if the sole of the shoe is smooth leather slip when you put your foot down at traffic lights.

The teeth can cause serious injuries in an accident. There are plenty of helmets, jackets, gloves, boots and pants are available for motorcyclists that are designed to protect in case of accident.

One of the most important part of his helmet the team.
Helmets are the best protection for your brain, which protect the glass. Helmets are mandatory in most countries, although the helmet laws may vary. All states require that you wear eye protection. Some states allow you to travel without protection for your eyes if you have a widescreen on his motorcycle. In short, if you're not wearing a helmet, you need it.

There are different types of helmets and must decide what type of setting:

• Totally helmet
• Flip-up helmets
• Three quarts helmets
• The average city

Lift-face helmet and
This helmet offers maximum protection for the motorcycle gear that they all have a polycarbonate visor. Helmets and flip-ups to protect all sides of the head and face and also protect the eyes, nose and face of the rocks, insects, birds or even. If you travel with your upside-down hull front flip, you need to wear glasses that can withstand the impact of the stones.

Three-quarters of helmets
Three-quarters of helmets can make you feel less cramped than wear a helmet. However, three quarters of the city, although comfortable leaving your face protected not only from accidents but also rocks, insects and rain, which may itch because they coast through 55 mph.

Half helmets
It is sometimes called "caps", half helmets offer little protection for motorcyclists rarely falls directly on top of the head in the accident. A half helmet is better than nothing, and helmets are often used by motorcyclists wearing helmets were required by state law.
There are many styles and colors of helmets in the market for you to find something you like at prices ranging from $ 100 to $ 700 or more. You can also buy a white helmet and have it painted as if you are looking for a single hull. See a custom bike builder, or the Internet for a custom painter.
