No rest for the homemakers
Around the world, the first of May holds cultural significance as well as the universal context of being the International Workers' Day. You may not need a refresher on the historical background but on this day, today, just about every place you know around town, is shut.

Cool footwear for a hot summer

With summer coming, upgrade your closet with shoes that are not only comfortable for the hot and humid weather, but also equally stylish.
