You already know dresses are key for special events and after-five, but this season you'll want to turn to dresses for everything from work to weekend wear.
Leading the dress pack is the shirt dress, an easy look for most offices and universally flattering (the collar and button-front draw attention to your face, the belted waist gives you shape, and the full skirt hides a heavy lower body).
Jersey knit dresses are another great look for spring and summer. The beautiful drape of jersey allows dresses to caress your body without being skintight. With jersey, you'll need to eliminate seams and pantylines because bumps and lumps do show; try a one-piece bodyslimmer or seamless lingerie.
This sheer silk blouse is beautified by ethereal ruffles, trimmed in lace at the collar, cuffs and hem. Covered buttons enhance the Victorian effect. Gave you the classic luxurious look

When you head home from that beach vacation, you may have some unexpected stowaways: the hermit crabs that children take home from the beach. But hermit crabs grow up and need bigger homes. Now Petco has just the solution: T-Rex Crab Island Decorative Hermit Homes. T-Rex Crab Island Hermit Homes are intended for two purposes. First, as hermit crabs grow, they need the opportunity to change their shell to a larger more comfortable home. Hermit Crabs should always have access to these shells in their environment. Second, the hermit crab owner may want to give the crab an opportunity to change into a different shell to enhance or change its looks. This is completely appropriate. Just remember, the crab will change shells when it wants to, not necessarily when the caregiver wants to. The changes will normally take place at night when no one is watching.This would make a great, educational gift for any child who has access to a beach or who gets a hermit crab from the local pet store.

We've been eying a vacation at the Caudalie Spa in Bordeaux, France, where they drink bordeaux wine and immerse the spa guests in red wine-derived concotions. The spa's anti-aging vinotherapy concept evolved from the so-called French Paradox study, which concluded that the French have very low heart disease rates even though they eat real butter and cream, largely because they consume huge amounts of red wine. The grape seeds from the grapes contains polyphenols, which some claim to be up to 10,000 times more effective than vitamin E in stopping the free radicals responsible for 80% of premature wrinkling. And that's the basis of the spa treatments.
