They always say that fashion tends come back someday and I guess they are right. Celebrities have been seen sporting Members Only jackets. If you are old enough to remember, Members Only jackets were very popular and trendy back in the ’80s. Well, the leather and nylon jackets are making a comeback with the celebrities of today.

Fergie was seen sporting a purple nylon Members Only jacket when she performed on The Today Show. She later paired an ivory Members Only jacket with a dress at the premiere of Sex and the City in New York. Other stars, such as Mariah Carey and Miley Cyrus, also have been seen wearing these jackets. Buyer beware, the jackets are not cheap and who knows how long this trend may stay around again.

Most people think that scarves are just for the winter time, but apparently celebrities like to wear them in summer also. So many celebrities have been seen sporting scarves around their neck in the summer months. Now, with some of the heat waves we have been experiencing, I’m not sure this is one trend that I want to follow.

The brand Love Quotes is a very popular pick among celebrities for scarves. Rachel Bilson, Lauren Conrad, Nicky Hilton, Hilary Duff and Amanda Bynes have been seen wearing scarves from Love Quotes. The scarves come in a wide range of colors from cherry pie to haze. They retail for $85. The scarves can be worn several different ways: wrapped around the neck several times. wrapped once and hanging loose and wrapped around the neck and then bundled together in the front.

Red is always a hot color, but more and more celebrities have been seen sporting red on the red carpet. Stars such as Molly Sims, Debra Messing, Christie Brinkley and Renee Zellweger have all worn red dresses lately. Sara Ramirez wore a red David Mesiter strapless dress to a charity auction and she looked wonderful in the dress. If you want to try the red trend, then get ready to attract attention!

Espadrilles , a popular, casual shoe usually worn by women in warmer areas of the United States, have their origins in peasant shoes. These shoes have been worn since the 1300s in the mountains that separate France and Spain. Named after an indigenous plant used to make rope in the region, espadrilles are defined by their soles. Modern espadrilles may replace this rope with rubber molded to achieve a similar look as a way of increasing durability and allowing more variants in the shoe styling, including higher, wedge-shaped heels.

For a peasant shoe, the espadrille has come a long way. Today’s top designers such as Donna Karan produce espadrilles and they can also be readily found in lower-end shoe shops and clothing stores. Espadrilles were particularly popular in the United States in the 1970s and do see a periodic resurgence. Because of the non-leather materials, espadrilles are not costly, allowing many women to own multiple pairs in multiple styles. These includes the previously mentioned varying heel-heights and those with laces that generally attach at the back of the shoe that can then be wrapped around the ankle for support and shoe security.

The top of an espadrille is usually made of canvas and in a closed-toe style, but current variations also reveal the toes or feature cut-out heels for summer wear. Additionally, while the modern espadrille is usually only worn by women, the shoe has historically been for both genders, and men’s styles are seen in warmer climates and periodically as a trend.

While espadrilles originated in Europe, 90 percent of these shoes are now produced in Bangladesh because of the popularity of using jute to make the shoes. Jute is a strong and cheap, natural fiber, that has a naturally bright white color, making it easy to dye or present as is. Like most modern shoes, a process that was once entirely done by hand is now largely done by machine. To increase durability of the shoes, rubber, foam or wooden heels are often added to the espadrille, improving on the simple concept from which they originated.

While production has largely moved, small espadrille producers still exist in the Catalonia region of Spain.

Running with headphones is dangerous, but not wearing them should be your decision.

When I first started running, I used to listen to music for my entire run. It gave me the motivation to get out there and the motivation to run further as it gave my mind something to concentrate on besides running. Then, someone I knew was hit by a car while running with headphones on and it was then I realized how dangerous it could be.

Having music playing at a loud level when running blocks out the sounds around you. Traffic sounds, emergency vehicle sirens, even bicycles—you can’t hear any of it if you’re listening to loud music.

For women especially, running with headphone plugs in can be very dangerous. If the music is at a high enough level, it can stop you from hearing someone running up to you and many reports now show that, of the women who have been attacked while running, many of them were wearing headphone plugs. For women, if you must wear headphones, make sure the volume of the music is low enough that you can still hear what’s going on around you.

Unless you choose your music carefully, running while listening to music also actually interferes with your pace. You’ll find yourself running faster or slower depending on the beat of the song you’re listening to at the moment. This can be a detriment, especially in a race where pace really does matter.

However, having said all this, I do not agree with the race officials who are banning personal music players and iPods from races. The U.S. has become a ridiculously litigious society where everyone is worrying about being sued. If somebody wants to wears headphones, I still believe it is their right to do so. Personal freedom is being taken away in our society all the time and, whether or not I feel headphones can be dangerous, I don’t believe it’s my right to force that opinion on anyone else. After all, if you’re an adult, you should be able to make your own decisions on whether you’re going to run with headphones or not. As long as you’re aware of the dangers and some of the potential ramifications of running with headphones, then it’s your choice…..just be careful!
