How to Make Your Boots Last Forever [Easy Steps]

1) Protect your boots from rain, snow and spills. The ultimate protective spray to invest isn’t just a ‘waterproof’ treatment, instead it acts as a repellent against any unexpected winter weather or spills. Leather Spa Water and Stain Protector ($14.95) works on leather, suede and fabric boots allowing a spill or liquid to sit on top of material so you can wipe away the stain before it bleeds into the shoe. You should spray your boots about once a week, applying the protector the same way you would apply hairspray.

Sweater Dresses You Need In Your Life Immediately [Check out]

In the United States, it’s not officially winter until you wear a sweater dress. In the 1960s, that meant smart, tailored shifts or swinging frocks with hand-knit bell sleeves. In the 1970s, hemlines dropped and a belted A-line was the standard for ladies who lunched on Park Avenue and for bohemian creatives slumming it on Delancey Street. Later, the 1980s brought oversized this and slouchy

Take a Tour of Elvis Presley's Former Beautiful Palm Springs Home (Photos)

Elvis Presley's oh-so-seventies Palm Springs ranch home (also known as Graceland West) is up for auction after nine months on the market.
After nine months spent languishing on the open market, the LA Times reports that "Graceland West," Elvis Presley's former Palm Springs retreat, will be auctioned off on October 25. He's not the only star that's called it home—Frankie Valli owned the home for a brief period in the late '70s. The starting bid is yet to be established, but the bank-owned home is currently listed at $2.59 million. We have a hard time envisioning a lack of interest: The 1.75-acre ranch home offers stunning views of both the mountains and the desert, and features a kidney bean swimming pool, spa, and palm trees.

How to become a fashion designer, easy steps

You know you're destined to be a fashion designer if you (1) spent most of your childhood making clothes for your Barbie dolls instead of playing with your friends, (2) read fashion magazines instead of your school books, (3) ran a boutique out of your basement at age 10.
In other words: if you want to be the next Yves Saint Laurent, it helps to be completely and utterly obsessed with fashion.
However, there are many aspects of the profession. Working as a fashion designer can just as well mean
