The Bell Tolls For: Roxy Women’s Swimwear

The Summer is not over, so why should your style be? Really, by now any girl who frequents the beach already knows that Roxy Women’s Swimwear is some of the hottest pieces a beach bumette could be wearing. With a variety of cuts and colors, these pieces are as comfortable as they are vibrant, and each gives the proper support you may need (especially when in the water). If you have some swimwear already well lets face it, women need more than 1 or even 2 bathing suits sometimes. Don’t ask me why, perhaps its because no one wants to get stuck on the beach with a lamo looking 2 pc. This is completely understandable. If you are gearing up for the hot weather, check out what Roxy has to offer in terms of triangle, halter, and tankini tops, as well as their wide array of beach bum bottoms.

Teva Halyard 2 Boating Sandal

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Teva Halyard 2 Boating SandalSandals are a perfect way to keep feet cool and happy in the summer in the summer heat. Unfortunately, with summer comes water, and with water comes notoriously slippery sandals. In order to help prevent loosing traction Teva has created the Men’s Halyard 2 Boating Sandal. This highly comfortable sandal comes in sizes 7-14 and uses a “Shoc Pad Heel;” for superior shock absorption and a compression EVA midsole which has a natural foot contour. The most important aspect to this pair, is their ability to promote superior traction even under the wettest conditions. Featuring a “spider rubber” outsole for superior grip, multi directional grooves cut in to displace water at opposite angles, thereby improving stability even further. The outsole is also non marking so there will never be any scuff marks left on a boat deck, and there is an included anti microbial agent included within the rubber itself to halt bacteria growth and potential smell. A clean looking pair, the Teva Men’s Halyard 2 Boating Sandal uses very earthy tones of khakis, browns, off whites, and of course the Teva symbol for a classy finishing touch.
