----------------Style snippet-------------------------
I have just one gift suggestion for the fashionable dad this Father's Day
-- a tropical print camp shirt.
It wasn't too long ago that fashion types would have sniffed over the
suggestion of a Hawaiian print shirt as a must-have, but vacationing men
everywhere have always liked them for their colorful personality and
perfect-for-shorts styling.
The best way to wear a tropical camp shirt is untucked and layered over a
Tshirt in a complimentary color. (Hint: it hides extra pounds that way)
Where to find it: any department or specialty store -- everybody's hopping
on the camp shirt bandwagon this season. Online, try Graham Harris for
authentic styles - http://www.grahamharris.com

---------------------Shoe museum---------------------------
1979's cork pump; 1985's rhinestone trimmed bootie; 1990's "Mary Poppins"
boot -- Stuart Weitzman's new online shoe museum will take you on a
delightful and stylish trip down virtual memory lane with these styles and
more. There's also lots of behind-the-scenes shoemaking quips from
Weitzman integrated into the narrative like this: "Why do I love shoes?
Because any woman can look as good in a shoe as the most beautiful girl in
the world."
