Not likely!</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Mainly because they transition from season to season with ease, thus becoming a wardrobe staple. I've already seen cowboy kickers in several spring 2010 collections, including Isabel Marant, Stuart Weitzman and American Eagle. Personally, I like the styles that look rugged and distressed, or super snazzy -- like these snake-embossed bootsies by Miz Mooz. </span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="http://s933.photobucket.com/albums/ad180/accessorysource/?action=view&current=Cabanataupesnake.jpg" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><img src="http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad180/accessorysource/Cabanataupesnake.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">It's worth checking out the rest of the Miz Mooz collection at </span><a href="http://www.infinityshoes.com/index.cfm/a/catalog.catshow/catid/46/PgStart/1/PagerSortBy/Original/PagerMaxItems/9999/Miz-Mooz"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Infinity Shoes</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">.

When I was invited to a Kora party a short time ago, I didn't know much about the company, but I accepted (of course!) because I love jewelry and never pass up an opportunity to buy more.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Kora means "work" in the native language of Rwanda, where the jewelry is made. All the pieces are made out of horn by local artisans and part of the profits go toward building up a self-sustained industry for the plentiful resource in that country. Take a look at some items from the line, and then check out my interview with founder Amy Walker -- it's sure to inspire you.</span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><a href="http://s933.photobucket.com/albums/ad180/accessorysource/?action=view&current=kora22.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad180/accessorysource/kora22.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><a href="http://s933.photobucket.com/albums/ad180/accessorysource/?action=view&current=kora7.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad180/accessorysource/kora7.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Partygoers adorned their arms with stacks of bangles.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><a href="http://s933.photobucket.com/albums/ad180/accessorysource/?action=view&current=kora1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad180/accessorysource/kora1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">The candlelit room was decorated with beautiful flowers, while the jewelry was either hanging on rustic fixtures or laying on gold material.
