There is a whole generation of people who never even heard of Dorothy Parker and it's really a shame, because she was one of the best writers this country ever had, in terms of satire. I first came across some of her short stories when I was a kid, during one of the frequent trips to the library my mother took me on.  I absolutely loved reading anything by writers I wasn't f...

I love these shorts!!!! I bought a pair last Summer and after the first time I wore them, I went back to the store and bought 2 more pairs.Being a stay at home mom, it's all about comfort for me and in the Summer, I live in shorts. Between running errands, cleaning house and activities with the kids, I am always on the go and need clothes that work with me. These Danskin Now shorts breathe ...

I bought a pair of SportHill journey running shorts when I first started running six years ago.   I wanted something a little more modest than traditional running shorts, and these fit the bill.  Their four inch inseam is perfect for me- not too short and not too long.They fit a woman's body wonderfully, and are flattering (as much as running shorts can be). The have a liner ...

I was shopping for a new pair of shorts for summer, and what first attracted me to this pair was the color - dark green, or "clover green" as it was properly called on the tag. Then I read the label and learned that a team of experts had analyzed over 50,000 women's figures to ensure a good fit for these shorts "based on realistic bodies." That sounded interesting! I tried my size on, and found...

My favorite shorts are dying, so I went in search of something that actually looks decent enough to wear in public.  They needed to be comfortable or I knew that I would just wear the old raggedy shorts anyway.  But they also need to look nice enough to wear to summer meetings, etc.These were on sale (5.99 marked down from 14.99) at Meijer, and I decided to try them on.  Yes, the...

I needed a pair of shorts to fit my expanding waistline (ahem) and since these were for mainly around the house and chilling at barbeques or around the pool, I was looking to get something casual. Hence the trip to Tar-jay. At the store their main shorts selection was Mossimo, so my choices were moderately limited, but that is okay. The Mossimo Mission Cargo short looked like the best bet, so t...

I bought two pair of these cargo shorts for my son this year, because he needed new shorts and I'm always so happy with the quality I get at The Children's Place.  I was not disappointed.These cute shorts have an elastic waistband, front pockets, and two "cargo" pockets on the sides.  They are 100% cotton and the fabric is light enough to be cool in the summer, but s...

These Carpenter-style shorts are just about perfect for summer fashion at an affordable price, and they are well-made too.Since having a heart attack last fall my husband has been on a mission to stay in shape.  He is probably losing weight as we speak.  Actually it’s reached the point where he needs to stop losing weight since he now is down to what he weighed when we were marr...

The Adidas TechFit Powerweb short spandex is currently what I am using as my competition spandex (Track and Field - Sprinter). Adidas makes claims on their website and on the packaging that just by wearing this spandex that you will become faster, more powerful, and have more endurance. These claims turn out to be not that wild.First off, I love the style of the Powerweb spandex. I've recei...

My Target is having it's end of the season (summer) sales, and these little cotton shorts were on sale for just a dollar. Wow! They are usually only about $4 if I am remembering correctly, so it's not as if they are expensive even at full price. I bought a bunch of these, but the ones with the little dots are my favorites. They are great because you can use them as bottoms for t-shirts ...

As a past football player I was always looking for the most comfortable gear to practice, run, and weightlift in. I've tried a lot of shorts that fit too tight, or that were very uncomfortable. I was at Sports Authority one day and I came across these Under Armour Metal shorts. I decided to buy them and try them out. The shorts are great. I wore them during spring training and they were com...

Quicksilver has the best surfer's clothes design, hands down! What I love most about it is how they blend colours really well. The best part is, the board shorts always have a HUGE variety of colours and patterns so it's quite hard to find someone else wearing the same shorts as you.Quality wise, it's my best I know so far. I live by the beach and I have collected a lot of board sho...

Buying clothes for my grandson is not an easy task.  It seems most stores have more clothes for little girls then for little boys.  We have been buying most of his clothes at Walmart.  Everyone knows how much the size of clothes for babies change.  Their growth is constant, and it seems you are always buying clothes for them.  They grow out of them before they wear them...

The original Goodnites Underpants are great.  However Huggies desided it would be a good idea to make them look more like boxers by putting clothlike material in a way to look like boxers over the diaper.  This was a good idea however they are not designed very well.  The sides and crotch area seem to rip away (the cloth material).  They seem to be a smaller size than the un...

    With the nice weather here and my girls growing out of most of there clothes we went shopping for some summer clothes for them.       We went to Gabriel store, they have such a large assortment of clothes and there prices are unbelievable. My 3 year fell in love with these little shorts.  She  liked that they had a belt and the flowers on th...

I absolutely dread taking my sons clothes shopping. They are the pickiest creatures on the face of the earth. Jesse won't wear jeans and Jamie won't wear anything but jeans. When we went shopping for summer clothes I was lucky that Jamie saw these Wrangler shorts and actually liked them. We ended up buying him 5 pairs and that is what he has lived in all summer. They have gone through t...

 Here is another good find I found at Steve & Barry's, cargo shorts! Again like the cargo pants I discovered, I got these from the men's section of the store and are totally pleased with them. They fit perfect and are very light weight and comfortable. Made out of 100% cotton, this pair I picked up is a size 32 waist. Of course there are other sizes, for those of you who need s...

I have bought a lot of my older sons jean shorts from Dillards. I really like the Class Club brand. They always have a wide variety of kids clothing to choose from, whether you are looking for a polo shirt, khakis, jeans, shorts, or t-shirts. They are durable, affordable, and do not seem to lose their color from washing. This pair is just a plain button dark denim. It has two pockets in the fro...

He has not had any complaints. They are great for casual wear and to relax in. They are available in a wide range of colors. His favorite ones, are red with white stripes down the sides. These...

When I bought my Nitelites sleeveless shirts, I bought also these Nitelites matching printed shorts. It is comfortable to work inside and outside of the house if I am wearing comfortable apparel especially this summer season. The shorts come in different printed colors that go with its sleeveless shirts. Although it is free size shorts I'm happy that its garterized waist fits well on my wai...
