Shoe Do's & Shoe Don'ts Pt 2 - Casual Shoes
On a more severe note, lets take a look at a couple of shoes that just really get me going.
Shoe Don'ts On Left & Shoe Do's On Right
Come on guys, unless you are a professional basketball player you should not be so enthused to wear Jordan's anymore (or any basketball shoes for that matter for your day to day shoe), especially if you are over 22. Don't get me wrong, I love Jordan and wore his shoes when I was 16 but now I am 26 and the ONLY reason I would buy them would be to make a business transaction out of it and resell them at a profit. There are so many other options out there. There are tons of great high top sneakers styles. However, if you must wear Jordan's at least find one's like the gray shoe on the right which is Jordan's newest color release of his chukka boot. I know it's hard becoming an adult, I still rebel against it every now and then, but seriously......
I can't keep my mouth shut on this one, Dr. Martens are disgusting and this shoe right here on the left has to be the second ugliest shoe ever (1st ugliest in Shoe Do's & Don'ts Pt 1). I just don't understand things that are clunky, heavy and look like they belong on a construction site. I mean that shoe must weigh like 10 pounds (4.5 KG's), that's like wearing bricks on your feet. Instead, go for something a little more sleek looking, with a thinner sole and more elegant leather, something that can go casual and slightly dressy like these Opening Ceremony chukka boots or something like this in a lower cut option but please leave the clunkers for the construction workers. You don't get a positive second look from ANYONE wearing these!
These three on the left are part of a fashion trend that still boggles me so bad on how they became SOOO popular and still are with certain individuals: meat heads, baseball players, Hollywood wannabees & typical clubbing douchebags. I would rather go barefoot on razor sharp glass then wear any of the three on the left. I really didn't know what to put as a 'shoe do' next to these because I can't even categorize these atrocious shoes. Most of them came in boot form so I just added some better looking boots to wear but really, for an alternate option just wear ANYTHING apart from the style of the three on the left. And to all you that wear them, please realize that most people are laughing at you if you are wearing them with pride thinking that you are the coolest person in the room. If you are reading this and have friends who wear these please tell them to read this!
(Shoes on Right- Top picture: 1. Neil Barrett 2. J.Lindeberg 3. Nicole Farhi 4. Paul Smith; Bottom Picture: To Boot New York)
Even though these one's on the left are Prada and I somewhat like the style, the simple fact of the matter is that they are just straight PLAYED OUT!!!!! They have been around for like 10 years and are no longer cool so if you wear these, realize that everybody else and their momma has a pair too!! Instead take some of the creativity that is probably locked in a trunk in the left side of your brain and go find something else that has style like this remake of the Rod Laver by Adidas. They are simple, clean looking and will go with sooooo many different outfits and will also save you about $300 in respect to the Prada's. Come on people, others see style in creativity and diversity. There is no respect given for wearing what everyone else is!!!!!!
These little moc shoe type things that spout up every now and then...have to go, at least for those who try to make a fashion statement out of wearing these things. Take Toms for example, great idea but awful looking shoe, looks like those Bruce Lee shoes that everyone wanted in the 80's, cool if you want to be a ninja but not cool to wear with jeans that look like they were spray painted on. Seriously, I see so much of all this craziness and it just kills me. People! Be more creative!!!!!!! I can't stress it enough. You are not fashionable and stylish if you are not being creative and pushing the envelope in some way. If you wore these bright blue suede slip-on's by Opening Ceremony, you would be stylish!
Bottom Line: Be creative in your purchasing decisions, don't just buy things that everyone else is because you think that its cool. All of the fashion icons throughout history were setting their own trends and creating their own styles, not following anyone else's!!!

Important, Details In Minimalist House Design
Infinite Creativity exhibition displays 20 works of the participants Minimalist House Design Competition.
One of the works that could be presented in front of the jury received more attention from the jury on the issue in the design details. Works quite well made. It's just that aspect of detail in a design must be considered.
The footprint of the data, participants cultivate the face of the house in accordance with case studies presented in the competition. The design offered by the last finalist, Agus Indra Didik from Gadjah Mada University is quite interesting.
Balcony on the second floor that can enter and appropriate use, and then sliding door on the first and second floor that is easy to access and out of the owner and the air ventilation is adequate to the added value compared to the other finalists.
Remains a good idea to think about details. Because both of the material details of matter or effective ways of application of ornament in design is important to note. This relates to ease homeowners use what was in his house.
Details are referred to by Sukendro Sukendar related to effective functioning of a device in the house. For example, how to open a sliding door on the second floor balcony to be open. Sukendro better to use some sort of pulley puller tool to open it instead of using a window latch.
Use of the latch is slightly dangerous in this case, users who are not accustomed to suddenly stuck. Once again, safety must also be considered in making a building, especially the home.

Style Living Room Decorating Ideas
There are many ways to decorate your living room. As this is usually the room where a family entertains guests and spends time together, much thought usually goes into the design. Sometimes, however, inspiration is hard to come by. Here are a few living room decorating ideas to help get your creative juices flowing.
1. Determine your design style. Look through home decorating magazines and see what you like. You may have thought that you were a country gal, but find yourself drawn to the clean lines of a modern design. Even if you like both styles, you can mix them to create a style that is your own. You can choose country items that have a more modern edge, and modern design pieces with country flair. This way you can achieve a look that you love without settling on one style.
2. One living room decorating idea that is sure to spice up your space is to choose a bold wall color. Many people shy away from saturated colors, but these are the very hues that can make a dramatic statement about your personality. If you do not want to paint all of the walls in your living room a bold color, you can paint an accent wall. These walls are great to make an impression without overwhelming the room. You can then use accessories to tie the color into the rest of the room.
3. Updating your window treatments will also go a long way towards improving the atmosphere. Choose drapes or curtains that compliment the design style you have chosen for the rest of your room. Using rich looking fabrics on the windows will add a feeling of luxury to your room, and help to bring all of your living room decorating ideas together.
