“My father grew up in the ’60s and gave me an old pair of Levi’s jeans he had worn to capacity throughout his teenage years,” says Sonia Beyda Mosseri, founder of Still Here . “I thought these were the coolest things I had every seen as a kid. Ever since then I have been collecting vintage jeans.” We are all familiar with the moment of finding a pair of jeans that fits just so. It’s tragically rare. It keeps us coming back to the makeshift dressing rooms of the Melrose Flea Market in LA and weaving in and out of our favorite Williamsburg thrift stores hoping to stumble across the right wash, the right fit, and the right feel. When done well—denim is timeless. The sturdy material can withstand countless coffee spills, grass stains, backpacking trips, and more, somehow improving with age rather than degrading. “Every [pair] has character, wear, and memories attached to it. That is a really special concept to me. I wanted to create a new version of that feeling,” says Beyda Mosseri

Anna Duggar doesn’t play by every rule in the Duggar rulebook! Unlike her in-laws Michelle and Jim Bob , Josh ’s wife recently dropped the bombshell that she has “always” let her daughters wear jeans, even though it was forbidden in Josh’s house! http://bit.ly/2Ti1buI

The apparel category takes up a large share of the retailing cart. The Zacks Retail – Apparel and Shoes industry mostly includes specialty retailers offering apparel, activewear, footwear, accessories, electronics, fitness and lifestyle products, both in-stores and on websites. The industry’s prospects, which are closely tied to the purchasing power of consumers, have been robust of late owing to strong U.S. economy fundamentals. The U.S. GDP grew 3.3% on average in the first nine months of 2018, a notch higher than Trump administration’s targeted growth rate of 3%. The increase in GDP, which reflects higher personal income and robust job picture, is resulting in higher consumer spending that has benefited the retail sector. The fourth-quarter is likely to show maintained momentum on a strong labor market and solid consumer and business confidence. Strongest Holiday Season for Retailers in 6 Years Clear signs of this optimism on the retail sector were seen as Mastercard SpendingPul

John Annetti has turned his love for photography and passion for relaxation and the outdoors into a full-time job and business. The globe-trotting Annetti, 30, is the founder and president of Johnny Vacay, a line of upper-end leisure apparel aimed at those who favor the outdoor life over the corporate grind. Annetti uses his own photographs to design the "Always on Vacation" apparel of Johnny Vacay, and he has seen his company steadily grow through wholesale accounts with his sights trained on boosting online business. "The ideal customer, I feel, there are two of them," said Annetti, who enjoys winter and summer sports, from snowboarding to fly-fishing. "There's one that appreciates what I do because they do it themselves. They've done epic road trips across the country to go skiing for the season, and they don't want the typical 9-to-5 lifestyle. "It's also the complete opposite — the guy that is commuting to New York every day and ha

Where do you get your shoes fixed, and a rodeo memory and clearing up confusion about Fourth Avenue and 4th Street top Ask Hutch as the year ends. Do you know what happened to Ed’s Shoe Repair? If he’s really gone, is there any other place in town that repairs shoes? It’s difficult to find a cobbler these days. It seemed everyone took their shoes to Ed’s at Fourth Avenue and Poplar to get their kicks fixed, and many wondered what would happen when it closed last year. There’s simply not a lot of places left to fix shoes, short of driving 45 minutes to an hour. But we did find an alternative here in Hutchinson. Family Shoe Repair of Marion has a drop-off location at Ineeda Cleaners, 1224 N. Main. Here’s how it works: Drop off your shoes any day by end of business at 6:30 p.m. Wednesdays. That’s when the shoes are shipped off to Marion. The shoe shop does the repairs and sends them back. There’s a 10-day turnaround, which means you can pick up your repaired shoes on Friday the week

Squeaking from a co-worker’s shoes led a Rio Rancho woman to write a children’s story, and a desire to do something good for the community led her to turn the book into a fundraiser for children who need shoes. Debbie Coston wrote the book “Stanley and the Squeaky Shoes” and founded The Squeaky Shoe Project to use proceeds from the book to buy new shoes for children in need. She delivered her first donation of 14 pairs of shoes to Colinas del Norte Elementary last month. School counselor Janice Spratte said she had a student in mind to get shoes right away, since school staff members had noticed his toes showing through holes in his shoes. ADVERTISEMENT Skip “He gets to pick first,” she said, expecting to see the student the next day. Spratte planned to put out the other 13 pairs for parents to pick up the next time the school’s free food pantry was open. She said people often don’t think about students needing shoes, so she was thrilled to get the donation. Coston said the pro

Sometimes, a bride finds must-have accessories before saying yes to the dress. That’s what happened for Madeleine O’Neill when she married Ben Taylor in the summer of 2018. Lake Erie LifeStyle asked this bride how she created her look with Tiffany-blue heels. How did you decide on the shoes? I had been scouring the internet for the perfect shoes for a while when I found the pair I knew I wanted. I had an idea that I might want a tea-length dress, but I wanted to be sure that I had the right shoes first. When I found these shoes, which were in a color that I loved, I knew the whole idea could come together. The color also became the theme we used in many areas of the wedding. The shoes were no longer being sold by any stores that I could find online, but I found a single pair in my size from a website called Poshmark, which lets people sell their gently used clothing and other items. The shoes had been worn once before, by another woman on her wedding day. I was a little nervous abou

I have been a therapist for four decades, working in a variety of settings, serving children and adults, individuals, couples, families and groups. My rolodex brain is filled to overflowing with ideas and interventions. Sometimes when I teach Continuing Education Classes for social workers, I am asked to offer more theory. Although I also have that stored in my cranium, I remind them that they can get theory from books. From me they get hands-on practical skills to incorporate into their practice and their own lives. My take on it is that the more capable we are at exploring our own shadows and strengths, the more adept we will be as guides for our clients. Therapists are “privileged listeners” — like hairdressers, clergy, bartenders and cab drivers. Clients rely on us to create a safe space for their emotional expression, and to keep those expressions confidential. It’s an honor and a sacred trust.  Recently, as I have been working with several clients who have symptoms of OCD , I

90 Day Fiancé fans witnessed a historic first on the show Sunday night: Eric forget his pants on his wedding day to Leida. Yep, that happened. I won't mince words here — Eric and Leida's relationship is a bit concerning. Not only does Leida refuse to accept Eric's kids (she urged him to ditch child support, remember?), but the couple don't see eye to eye financially. Oh, and I did I mention that Eric's daughter, Tasha, refused to attend their nuptials? “I’m sorry but I really don’t think I can go to your wedding," she told her dad after Leida kicked her out of the family's apartment , according to Soap Dirt. Despite all of these major hurdles, the couple decided to go ahead with their wedding in Eric's native home of Wisconsin. The hours leading up to the wedding were understandably chaotic, as most life-changing days tend to be. But the stressful situation was made worse by Eric's pants situation. Give me a second to explain here. Shortly

Just over a week ago, Ryan Reynolds was set up by his mates Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal when they told him the party they were going to was Christmas jumper themed. That being said, Anthony Gardiner must feel a helluva lot better knowing that even Deadpool himself gets caught out from time to time, just like he did when his own pals told him that their night out was fancy dress - and he decided to go as no other than Hulk. Classic. Anthony, from Durham, clearly paid attention to detail because not only did he pull off the padded body suit but he also covered his face with green body paint and didn't forget his bare hands and legs. His mates, who were all dressed in normal clothes, roared with laughter on their realisation that they had pulled off the prank and, luckily, Anthony laughed along with them. He didn't really have a choice though did he? Anthony Gardiner thought all his mates would turn up in their fancy dress outfits as well. Credit: NCJ Media Just to ru

I’ve had it with you. Almost 18 years of answering your questions, and it takes just one look around to see you haven’t been listening. Well, that’s it. I’m moving on to more worthy pursuits. As a final good riddance, here are some parting pearls of wisdom. Do with them what you will. See if I care. Let’s begin by saying goodbye to the most egregious of fashion crimes: cut-off shorts. I don’t care whether your thighs are perfect (0.1 per cent of you) or better covered up (the remaining 99.9 per cent). I don’t need to see your, um, cheeks, thank you. Let’s save millions of young girls from the hideousness of this interminable trend with a blanket ban. Teaching you how to crack the dress code Ignore trends if they don’t inspire you. Fashion should make you feel like the best version of yourself, not an inferior version of someone else. That is, unless you feel superior in cut-off shorts. Know yourself and what makes you look good. Be honest. Buying a small size may stroke your ego in

Skinny jeans will always have a place in our hearts, but lately they’ve taken the backseat in our wardrobes. In their place, we love a good pair of boyfriend jeans . Not only is their bagginess perfectly calculated, but the lived-in vibe adds an air of effortlessness to all of our winter outfits. Plus, yes, you can layer your leggings under them. Need we say more? If you’re a skinny jean lover no matter the season and you’re still skeptical of the points we’ve risen, scroll on ahead to find 15 perfect winter boyfriend-jean outfits that may not get you to retire your skinny jeans for the season but will surely inspire you to give these slightly oversize jeans a try. http://bit.ly/2CDznvf

Retail pundits are already calling the holiday selling season the best one in years. They would be wise to be measured in their rejoicing. While early indicators suggest nice brick-and-mortar and online sales gains, the industry won’t know just how retailers actually performed until they report earnings for the make-or-break winter shopping blitz. That’s when we’ll see how their bottom lines fared amid the season's heavy discounting and the rise of notoriously profit-draining digital orders. Along with the (premature) celebrating, some are sounding a note of caution. While U.S. retailers might have enjoyed the best holiday season in years, “profitability is still being challenged,” said Steve Osburn, managing director at Kurt Salmon, part of  Accenture Strategy ,  in a statement. “Retailers have got consumers used to a behavior where they now expect heavy discounting around Black Friday and Cyber Monday which puts pressure on margins and competitiveness.” Mastercard: The '

Along with holiday celebrations, the end of a year brings another annual event to the state. It’s the time for new state laws to take effect and get added to Illinois' already voluminous collection of statutes. This year there are 253 new laws that will take effect Tuesday covering everything from gun control to hunting fashion. During the last two years of the 100th General Assembly, lawmakers introduced 9,646 bills. Of those, 1,268 passed both the House and Senate and 1,044 were signed into law by Gov. Bruce Rauner. Here’s a few of the laws that made it through the process and will take effect next week. Gun control Lawmakers approved a bill to have the state certify gun dealers, but the bill was never sent to Rauner, who had vetoed a different dealer licensing bill. As of now, it remains in limbo. However, two other gun measures approved by lawmakers will take effect Tuesday. One is known as a “red flag” law and allows guns to be taken from someone deemed to be a threat t

9:02 PM ET Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry helped give a young fan a Christmas she won't soon forget, making good on his promise to send her a pair of his signature shoes after the two exchanged letters last month. Curry sent two pairs of the new Under Armour Curry 6 shoes to 9-year-old Riley Morrison on Christmas morning, one month after Riley wrote Curry a letter telling him that she couldn't find his shoes for sale under the girls section of the Under Armour website. "I hope you can work with Under Armour to change this because girls want to rock Curry 5's, too," Riley wrote to Curry in the letter, which she sent in November. Curry rewarded Riley's initiative by writing back, "We are correcting this now!" He also said he was sending her a pair of his shoes and wrote, "You'll be one of the first kids to get the Curry 6." Video of an excited Riley receiving the shoes was posted on Instagram earlier this week. In his

“I don’t have kids myself, so around Christmas time, I always feel like, ‘Hey, I might as well buy Christmas gifts, but who do you give it to?’,” said Dr. Rouzbeh Kordestani. “A few years ago we counted it was something like $5,000 of gifts and presents around Christmastime and it was rows and rows and rows being all stacked up at Walmart, and that was neat. And this is a little bit different because for the first time, instead of just giving gifts and feeling good, you actually see the kids and quietly watch them pick their own Christmas gifts.” http://bit.ly/2QUaxju

Brandolini Shoe Clinic was the go-to place in Framingham to get shoes, boots and other leather goods repaired. To commemorate the shop, family members asked to keep the sign. FRAMINGHAM — When Brandolini Shoe Clinic opened on Union Avenue in 1931, there were 13 other competing shops in town. But one by one, the shops around it closed. Brandolini’s stood the test of time for 87 years before closing this summer, with the rented space being torn down for apartments. It’s believed to be the last of its kind in the city, while other cobbler shops remain in Natick and Westborough. The shop was the go-to place to get shoes, boots and other leather goods repaired in downtown Framingham. “In the span of about five years, it was down to just a couple,” said Alan Brandolini, whose uncle Amedeo "Pete" Brandolini opened the shop. “He essentially ran the rest of them out of business.” Alan Brandolini’s parents, Emilio and Virginia, ran the shop for 45 years before other family members

The Teutopolis Wooden Shoes went 2-0 on the second day of the Effingham/Teutopolis Christmas Classic Friday, including wins over Pleasant Plains 36-25 and an exciting overtime win over Lincoln Way East 60-59 to earn an appearance in the championship game Saturday night. It was a rough first game for the Teutopolis Wooden Shoes against the Pleasant Plains Cardinals offensively, but the Wooden Shoes still prevailed. The Wooden Shoes were up three going into the fourth quarter, and head coach Chester Reeder said that his teams defense needed to stay the same and execute more on the offensive side of the ball. “I thought that we were being complacent and waiting to see what they did before we would attack,” Reeder said. “Defense was incredible tonight. I thought we played awesome from the defensive end. It proves that we can win any type of game.” Leading the way for the Wooden Shoes was Dawson Smith who had 16 points and five rebounds. In the team’s game against Lincoln Way East, Sm
