On this day in 1919, the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution (prohibiting the “manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes”) was ratified. This Amendment was in effect for almost 15 years until the 21st Amendment (repealing the 18th Amendment) was ratified in December 1933.
We can’t help but wonder how we would have marketed this favorite Lakeside product back in the 1920’s (before the repeal of prohibition)…

A hot trend popping up everywhere is to wear your socks higher than your boots. Usually people opt for leggings, skinny jeans or shorter knee socks to accompany their kicks. However more and more we are seeing people showing off their socks.

This trend works with both gathered and roll-top cuffs and is a great way to add a little pop of color to a subdued outfit. In winter this trend doubles as fashionable and practical by adding another layer of warmth to your tights or leggings.
Try out this trend. Lakeside offers a great selection of colors and styles. Here is a picture of the trend in action, coutesy of www.fashionplateblog.com

Start the New Year off right by getting your home in order. Below are some clever tips for organizing your home for 2012. Ref. realsimple.com

- Using reusable tote bags for shopping is a must. Even so, everyone has a stash of plastic grocery bags. Organize those bags by storing them in an empty tissue box under your sink.
- Kitchen cabinet space is tricky to keep well organized. Place a small tension rod about 4 inches deep in your drawer. Store lids standing up in the front part and pots and pans on the other side.
- Make your storage functional. Use seating that doubles as storage for gaming & entertainment equipment.
- Being organized it not just about putting things away, but also by making neat what is out in the open. To organize messy cords behind your TV/computer, try using Velcro tape.
- Avoid drilling holes in your walls to create more shelf space. An under shelf organizer slides on the shelf you already have to add space and functionality.
