Congratulations! You have finally made the decision to buy a ski helmet. It is always a good idea to protect your head. You need your brain for so many things! Buying your helmet probably was not an easy task. There were a lot of things to consider.

Price was an important consideration, as was quality. Even the least expensive protective helmets have to pass minimum safety codes, but there were still a lot of other things to consider. Getting the best quality for the lowest price takes some time and careful comparison shopping.

You probably spent even more time agonizing over the look of your helmet than you did over its effectiveness. The aerodynamic features were only one of your considerations. In fact, the wind sheer factor probably took a distant second place to the cool look of an aerodynamically designed helmet.

Then there was the color. You knew perfectly well that the color was not going to have anything to do with how well it worked, but that did not stop you from spending as much time or more making a color decision as you had spent on your other decisions.

You were probably attracted to a lot of different colors. Red always stands out and makes you take a second look, but does it stand out too much? That matte grey helmet had a great look to it, but would it look bland on the slopes. You probably even wondered about things like whether or not your headgear would go with your black sport watch!

You really like the look of one black helmet in particular, but hesitated to buy it because of its color. Black reminds you of Darth Vader and the Gothic look and neither of those looks really appeal to you. Nonetheless, that helmet was awesome looking. Would you take a chance and buy it?

If you like the black one, but do not identify with the gothic look, do not worry! As long as you do not wear all black, you’ll be alright. Choose a white or colored parka and white or colored ski pants and they will be more predominant than your headgear. You can have boots that match the color of your headgear, but everything else in between should be another color.

Black can be either cool or tacky depending on how you use it. As a rule of thumb, wearing all of any color from head to foot is usually tacky. One exception to that rule might be white, but wearing all white on the ski slopes has its disadvantages. For one thing, people might mistake you for a Ninja assassin. For another, if you get lost or have an accident, nobody will be able to see you. Wear something that contrasts with the color of the snow.

BCBG Shoes

If you’re searching for a more contemporary styled shoe for today’s younger crowd then possibly BCBG Shoes may have what you crave.

 

Shoes in the BCBG collection are absolutely targeted towards a younger chic indie crowd who thrives for attention and Max Azria serves it up best. Take note, this is not your mom’s shoe.

 

The shoes have a more European look and flair and compliments more chic outfits than the toned-down everyday look. A lot of the collection does not fit together well with the office conservative wear and is frequently branded for the modern club and bar scene.

 

Made popular by the Hollywood and NYC Soho crowd but comes across as a super strong shoe that can’t be worn by simply anyone. This entire collection stands out and you will absolutely be noticed and remembered.

 

I must say you either love or despise BCGB shoes; there in fact is not any in between.

 

What I love about BCBG Shoes:

 

·         Young, Fresh and stylish and shows off a lot of attitude.

·         If you’re hunting for that “look at those shoes…I wonder where she got those from?” then BCBG brand will be right for you.

 

What I don’t like about BCBG Shoes:

 

·         Very little bright colors infused in the whole collection (the 2010 Paris collection offers a couple colorful additions). Sure, Black, Tan and Grey will go with anything but I crave much more spice in my closet.

·         Most of shoes have that funky toned-up vibe leaving me ready to party. Not sure if that is bad or good?

 

The FavoriteSelections out of All BCBG Shoes:

 

·         Women’s Lark 1 Pump in Azalea Pink; it is a rare find in a collection or neutral colors but after searching and searching I stumbled upon this gorgeous pink color that just popped! Can you imagine wearing this out at night?

·         The Colly Bootie in Black – a shoe-bootie that has fabulous feminine feel created only for the modern woman. Can be paired perfectly with a pantsuit or a cute little black dress.

 

But like I said, these shoes are targeted towards a particular type of woman. Now I do not believe you can supply a great review just by looking at a shoe; you’ve got to go out and wear it, so I did;

 

The few BCBG shoes that I tried out were cut extremely narrow so it won’t fit just any foot. If you typically wear a size 7, get a size 7.5; As soon as I tried on the shoe all eyes were on my feet. It truly has a magnetism all its own. I can not imagine how one would feel wearing these shoes to an event – it would be the thing to talk about all night; “where’d you get them”; “how much did they cost”;

 

Does anybody ever inquire about how a shoe feels? Or does it actually matter?
