Hundreds — possibly thousands — of patients have died from lack of care in British hospitals in what an official government investigation termed "the biggest scandal in NHS [National Health Service] history."
The 31-month, $20-million investigation into the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust, led by barrister Robert Francis, found that "between 2005 and 2009, up to 1,200 patients died unnecessarily and many more were 'failed by a system which ignored the warning signs and put corporate self-interest and cost control ahead of patients and their safety,'" according to the Telegraph. Francis issued a report on the investigation February 6.
"Within hours of the publication of" that report, the Telegraph reported, the government opened an investigation into five more NHS trusts — regional healthcare authorities — that have experienced high mortality rates in recent years. "Between July 2010 and June 2012, a total of 3,063 deaths were recorded at the five trusts, which comprise eight district general hospitals, over and above what would be expected," the paper wrote. This investigation will be headed by Sir Bruce Keogh, medical director of the NHS Commissioning Board.
"Patients and their families have been warning for years that care was inadequate" in these five trusts, said the Telegraph. "Professor Sir Brian Jarman, an international authority on hospital performance, said he warned the Government in early 2010 about high death rates at four of the hospitals now under investigation."
It also took years and dozens of complaints from patients and families to bring the Mid Staffordshire scandal to light:
The first signals that something was badly wrong emerged in 2001, when the local primary care group told NHS Executive West Midlands that the chief executive should be replaced because of a lack of leadership. Over the next eight years, a further 50 warnings were made, such as surveys which put the hospital in the worst 20 per cent in the country and a local health authority report which deemed it a "high risk" hospital.
In 2004, the trust, which had been rated as a three-star body, was re-rated by the Commission for Health Improvement as a zero star trust. The Royal College of Surgeons reported in 2007 that the surgical department was "dysfunctional."
The trust essentially ignored these warnings, as did the various government agencies that are supposed to ensure that patients receive quality care.

Business aviation contributes over $150 billion to the U.S. economy every year, and provides over 1.2 million high-wage, stable jobs.
worldwide are manufactured, operated, serviced and maintained in the United States.
Even the handful of companies that manufacture planes abroad complete their planes in the U.S. We install avionics, electronics, automation systems, engines, paint, interiors and other aircraft components manufactured here in the U.S. by American workers.
FACT:Business aviation contributes $150 billion to U.S. economic output, and employs more than 1.2 million people.
FACT:The vast majority of general aviation aircraft used for business worldwide are manufactured, operated, serviced and maintained in the United States. Even the minority of those planes manufactured outside the U.S. are often completed, adding avionics, electronics, automation systems, engines, paint, interiors and other aircraft components manufactured here in the U.S.
FACT:Business aircraft manufacture is one of the remaining sources of good manufacturing jobs in this country the kind of jobs we can keep in the U.S. in the 21st century. It is also one of the few industries still contributing to the nations positive balance of trade.
FACT:Business aviation allows companies to safely transport tools and materials that cannot be carried aboard airlines, enabling them to solve urgent problems efficiently and quickly.
FACT:The flights made by business airplanes require support. Schedulers, dispatchers, maintenance technicians, pilots, training professionals and airport employees are just a few of the many support professions involved in business aviation.
As an example, when you look at the overall budget for the state of Kansas, aviation makes up one third of it, and most of that comes out of Wichita
For every aviation job created, it creates another three jobs. And there's $7.1 billion in economic impact from Kansas because of the aviation industry." (5/6/09) Aviation Week
In Iowa alone, general aviation contributes approximately $176 million annually to our state, and aviation in our state supports at least 10,000 jobs. We must support this crucial infrastructure, both here in Iowa and nationally, because it affects not only manufacturers, but thousands of airports, industries, businesses and services that depend on this crucial form of transportation. (5/7/09) www.aero-news.net
Importantly, general aviation's contribution to the American economy includes 1.2 million jobs in all 50 states
These people produce, design, support, maintain, and/or service business aircraft either directly or through support operations at some 5,000 general aviation airports." (2/11/09) - Aviation Week

Here's another build of finstall, alpha4. The most important change this time is native support for remote / headless installs via systoold network daemon.
This enables headless installs of FreeBSD in the following fashion:
- Insert the CD with the finstall in the server (obviously, the server needs to have a CD/DVD reader; USB ones are mostly fine). The server can be headless, i.e. without a monitor, a keyboard or a mouse.
- Connect the server to a LAN. No remote-network hops (routing) are allowed since UDP broadcasts are used to locate the headless nodes. Boot off the finstall CD.
- On another machine (one that has monitor+keyboard+mouse or equivalent X11 devices) start the installer front-end.
- In the front-end, opt to connect to a remote finstall node, choose the one you want. At this point you can see boot-time dmesg data from the nodes so you can locate the right one in case there are many of them.
- Proceed to use the front-end GUI just like it was a local install.
- Reboot, configure, use the server, etc.
As described, the primary usage for this is to setup headless servers.
PXE is supported in theory, but not tried. The idea is that, since the whole finstall setup is actually a live FreeBSD system, PXE can be configured manually once the CD is booted somewhere (possibly on a virtual machine), and remote systems can be booted from this CD-based file system, then installed as if they are booted locally. This is experimental and untried.
This mode of installation has many side-effect uses, such as scripting the remote install, etc.
More about this and other features of finstall will be presented on BSDCan 2008.

It wasnt quite a hurricane, but like a scene from the 1996 blockbuster Twister, high winds whipped through the Watertown area Sunday and ripped off a 120-foot portion of the Watertown Municipal Arenas roof.
The part that came off, known as the flashing, covers the vent that runs along the peaked roofs center line.
Without it, the ice below is left vulnerable to leaks from precipitation normally halted by the impervious metal.
Its an inconvenient turn of events, but not one that will slow down activities at the arena at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds on Coffeen Street, which, as of this season, hosts the Thousand Islands Privateers minor league professional team in the Federal Hockey League.
The arena is open for business as usual. On Monday morning, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, pucks launched by the Skate and Shoot crowd were flying, their velocity unaffected by the change in barometric pressure.
This weeks schedule, packed tightly from early in the morning to nearly midnight every day, will proceed normally.
Erin E. Gardner, superintendent of the citys Parks and Recreation Department, said city engineer Kurt W. Hauk has been apprised of the situation and is in the process of finding a roofing company to get it back in shape.
Right now, were anticipating if it does rain then we probably will have leaks in the arena. I mean, we had leaks in the arena before the flashing went off, she said. If there are a lot of leaks, well just have to make sure that were Zamboni-ing the ice more often.
Mrs. Gardner said the repairs will be made as soon as the roofing company can come in to fix the damage.
For now, the most vulnerable piece of equipment is the scoreboard mounted beneath the vent.
Plans are to keep it covered with waterproof materials in hopes of keeping it safe until permanent repairs can be made.
According to Mrs. Gardner, the worst scenario would be a buildup of snow, which could then melt and leak onto the ice.
Lake-effect snow and bitter cold are in the forecast for the week.
Mrs. Gardner, who is from Adams Center and returned to her native area this year after working in New York City and Syracuse, said she requested a new roof and new floor in this years city budget.

42 U.S. Code § 10301 - Congressional findings and declarations
prev | next
The Congress finds and declares that—
(1) the existence of an adequate supply of water of good quality for the production of materials and energy for the Nation's needs and for the efficient use of the Nation's energy and water resources is essential to national economic stability and growth, and to the well-being of the people;
(2) the management of water resources is closely related to maintaining environmental quality, productivity of natural resources and agricultural systems, and social well-being;
(3) there is an increasing threat of impairment to the quantity and quality of surface and groundwater resources;
(4) the Nation's capabilities for technological assessment and planning and for policy formulation for water resources must be strengthened at the Federal, State, and local governmental levels;
(5) there should be a continuing national investment in water and related research and technology commensurate with growing national needs;
(6) it is necessary to provide for the research and development of technology for the conversion of saline and other impaired waters to a quality suitable for municipal, industrial, agricultural, recreational, and other beneficial uses;
(7) the Nation must provide programs to strengthen research and associated graduate education because the pool of scientists, engineers, and technicians trained in fields related to water resources constitutes an invaluable natural resource which should be increased, fully utilized, and regularly replenished; and [1]
(8) long-term planning and policy development are essential to ensure the availability of an abundant supply of high quality water for domestic and other uses; and
(9) the States must have the research and problem-solving capacity necessary to effectively manage their water resources.

When designing a logo is there a minimum size canvas that should be used to keep quality when it is enlarged or when reduced?
Obviously the dimensions of a canvas depend on the shape of the logo, but is there a sugested size?
When designing a logo is there a minimum size canvas that should be used to keep quality when it is enlarged or when reduced?
Obviously the dimensions of a canvas depend on the shape of the logo, but is there a sugested size?
Typically a logo is designed in a vector program such as Illustrator, so it can be scaled to meet the various needs required by the customer. For instance, a logo will typically end up on:
Since you're theoretically going to be designing in a format that can be scaled without loss (vector) the size you work with should be something you're comfortable with (remember if you put too much detail into your logo it's going to be lost when it's scaled down to fit on a business card).
While you should be creating vector artwork which is scalable to any dimensions, it makes sense to create the logo in the order of a few inches/cm across.
This is just so that when you initially import it at 100% scale into a empty box on a page layout at 100% scale, it's not so big that you only see the white space from the logo's upper-left corner. You'll generally need to scale it up or down, or just auto-scale to fit the box, but this just avoids a potential second or two of confusion.
Variant logos are sometimes created for extra large or extra small applications, but this is fairly rare.
As others have mentioned logos should always be designed in vector format for scale-ability, embroidery, screens... you never know what the client will do with it latter. But I always use a standard letter size canvas horizontal to display the logo or variants for the customer. I find it a good size when they call and want a pdf sent over. It fits on the screen well and if they print it out they usually have letter size sheets in the printer so it's just easier on them. Customers are not as computer friendly as you may think sometimes so giving them something they don't have to think about make things go smoother. All preference though.
You should definitely use vector graphics for logos, not just because they scale to whatever size you want but also because you can change them later. Your customer might want it in a different colourscheme or in B&W or whatever and you can't efficiently do this unless you use vector graphics. While others recommend Illustrator or Corel Draw, I think Inkscape is far better and it's free: http://inkscape.org/

Owner of animal hospital lashes out about dog's death
LEE COUNTY - The owner of a Fort Myers animal hospital lashes out saying she did not mishandle a dog that died in her care. Instead, she says the dog's owner is the one who's being negligent. The dog's owner claims the clinic refused to hand over her pet's medical records and won't tell her where her dog's body is but now we're hearing another side of the story.
Paige Reilly says she's reeling from the recent death of her miniature Pomeranian named Bentley, "It's devastating, I have video of him on my phone. I wake up and watch the videos. That's the only type of closure I have."
Bentley died after having surgery at the Affordable Animal Care Clinic in Fort Myers earlier this month. Reilly says, "I just want closure, I just want to hold him and tell him goodbye if he really is dead. I just want to say goodbye."
Reilly claims she told clinic workers she wanted to see her dog's body but soon after Bentley died the clinic had his body cremated without her permission. But clinic owner, Gina Brashear, says that's not true.
Brashear says her staff called Reilly numerous times to have her come and pick up Bentley's small body, but Reilly sent her mother to the clinic instead. Reilly's mother was then told she's not authorized to pick up Bentley.
Brashear says her worker told Reilly's mother, "She said have your daughter come pick your dog's body up." Brashear says she can't legally release the dog's body to anyone who is not listed as the dog's owner. She says, "No, but if her mother's name had been on this sheet I could've have released it to her but she's not."
After waiting four days Brashear says she had Pet Angel Memorial Center in Fort Myers pick up Bentley's body for disposal. She says, "After so many days it's abandonment, the owner never picked the dog up. I held it four days for her."
Brashear also says Bentley's X-rays prove the dog had serious injuries requiring emergency surgery and she claims Reilly refused to pay for it. Brashear says at least she cared enough to have her vet do the surgery for free, "When you do one free and you do a free X-ray and I have to have the vet tech call and say bring the dog in please because you didn't book a surgery, we'll do it free, then you kind of get emotionally involved."
We called Pet Angel Memorial Center and confirmed they did pick up Bentley's body.
Brashear says Reilly is not allowed at her clinic but can send someone else to pick up Bentley's records.
Reilly still plans to hire an attorney and sue the clinic, we'll let you know how it turns out.

The commander of Watertowns Army & Navy American Legion Post 61 has filed a libel and slander lawsuit against four post members he claims are trying to oust him.
Steven W. Plumb filed state Supreme Court action March 25 against James M. Marshall, Christy L. Chiumento, Wayne Scott and Philip E. Gary. The suit, which does not name the legion as a defendant, seeks $250,000 in damages.
According to court documents, the posts board of directors held a meeting Feb. 10 in which the board voted 12-1 to remove Mr. Plumb as commander. According to minutes taken from the meeting and filed with the court, a board member read 18 charges against Mr. Plumb pertaining to his negligence, conduct unbecoming a legionnaire and dishonesty. Ms. Chiumento also signed a statement claiming Mr. Plumb repeatedly uses vulgar language at the post on Sterling Street and Mr. Gary maintains that Mr. Plumb subjected him to a verbal attack, among other reasons for seeking the commanders removal.
Mr. Plumbs attorney, David P. Antonucci, Watertown, said it is Mr. Plumbs contention that several procedural mistakes were made during the meeting and vote to remove him, making the boards decision nonbinding.
It is our position that the meeting wasnt legally called, Mr. Antonucci said.
Mr. Antonucci said the alleged actions of board members have been an ongoing problem for Mr. Plumb. He has started a separate legal action against Craigslist, claiming that libelous statements about him have been posted anonymously on that website. The action seeks to obtain either the names or the Internet protocol addresses for the posters. Judge Hugh A. Gilbert has signed an order telling Craigslist it must provide the information to Mr. Plumb, although Mr. Antonucci said he has yet to receive a response from the company.
Hes just tired of having these people run his name into the ground for no reason or no basis, to apparently undermine his control of the legion, Mr. Antonucci said.
Lowville attorney Michael F. Young, who is representing the four defendants, said Tuesday that it is his practice not to comment on pending litigation. He said he would be filing a response with the court within the next few days.
Mr. Antonucci said Mr. Plumb remains commander of the Watertown post after being reinstated by the American Legion Department of New York pending further review of the action.

Deputies: Man wanted to kill ex-girlfriend, son and self
PHILOMATH, Ore. - When Kelsey Baker told Gustavo David Martinez-Aquepucho they weren't going to get back together as boyfriend and girlfriend, he decided to kill her, himself and their one-year-old son Theo so they could be together as a family in the afterlife, Martinez told sheriff's deputies according to court documents.
The probable cause affidavit, a sworn document filed with the court to justify arresting Martinez on charges of aggravated murder, contains details of the slaying.
After deciding to kill his family, Martinez, 20, first transferred funds so he could purchase a gun, then went to a gun dealer, deputies wrote.
When he couldn't buy a gun on Friday, he told deputies he came up with a new plan.
He went to a grocery store and bought cold and flu medications.
He disguised the medicine and gave the mixtured to the 19-year-old Baker, who fell asleep.
He then put the mixture in the baby's bottle. When the baby started crying instead of sleeping, he told deputies he put duct tape over the child's mouth to keep him quiet.
He then went to Baker and cut her throat with a chef's knife. He then cut the baby's throat before turning the knife on himself, slitting his wrist.
Martinez lost consciousness and woke up on Saturday. He called 911, hoping police would kill him, according to the affidavit.
Instead, police took him into custody for investigation of murder. He was arraigned Monday on three counts of aggravated murder. The judge entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of Martinez, who appeared expressionless in court wearing a blue sleeveless vest.
Martinez is being held without bail and on suicide watch in the jail. Martinez is being represented by attorneys with experience defending death penalty cases, although the Benton County District Attorney has not yet determined whether to seek the death penalty.
His next hearing will be within the next 30 days.

Swinton Super Stars
Posted 03 January 2013 - 06:08 PM
On our club website today. http://www.reds.co.u...to-save-salford or see below
Salford City Reds would like to offer a sincere thank you to the Swinton Lions club for their generous decision to donate a substantial percentage of the gate receipts to Salford City Reds to aid in the fight for survival.
Traditionally each Super League club plays a pre-season friendly against a Championship club with the proceeds going to the lower division team, but on this occasion Swinton Lions Chairman John Kidd and his board of Directors have decided that the bigger picture is more important and have thrown their weight behind the Wilkinson family's bid to save the City Reds.
Reds Chairman John Wilkinson said:
"It's a fantastic gesture from John Kidd and his board of directors, and one that we will remember. The last few years have seen the clubs pitch in to help each other when needed, and it's great that these two famous old clubs are fighting so hard together to ensure that the people of the city of Salford have sporting teams to watch and be proud of.
"It is so important for a city's mood, pride and identity that it has standard bearers to cheer, and this game is an opportunity for the people of Salford to make a loud and clear statement – that our city has its our own sporting identity – an identity that must be protected at all costs. We need as many people as possible to get down to this game and show that sport in this city is something the people want and are prepared to support."
Speaking in the Manchester Evening News, Lions' Rugby Director Paul Kidd said:
"Super League needs Salford and as Salford's neighbours we are happy to keep on backing them to the hilt.
"We look to them to set the mark in this region. There has always been great rivalry between the two clubs – to take this away would not be good for the game. That close bond must be allowed to continue. We as a club have also struggled but are still in there battling away.
"People in rugby league circles know how vital it is for the game to be strong in and around the Manchester area. That is Salford's role.
"I am sure John Wilkinson the Salford chairman will be fighting so hard to try and bring in new investment. Knowing John, he will be on the case for 24 hours. John will be feeling it right now though with how things have been for Salford. It's a tough time yet no-one can dispute the fact he has done a magnificent job over the years for his club.
"What John has done must never, ever be forgotten. We are more than happy to help Salford all we can."
Tickets for the game are priced at £12 adults, £7 Seniors & Students and just £3 for under 16s. They are available from www.reds.co.uk or by calling the Ticketline on 0844 888 0200. You can also purchase from the Ticket Office at Salford City Stadium in person up until kick-off, however we are advising pre-purchase if at all possible to avoid congestion on the day.

The difference is quite droll:
The optimist sees the doughnut,
The pessimist sees the hole.
Posted 04 January 2013 - 09:48 AM
Last season clubs were giving gate receipts to the Bulls which were worth tens of thousands, this may be worth a thousand or two to Swinton - aren't all clubs so hard up that doing this could make them struggle? Is there more to this (tax relief etc.).
BTW - great gesture by Swinton (and the clubs last year) showing the RL Family does exist, but just wonder about how clubs who are generally living hand to mouth can do this!

Yes this Sunday 6th @ 2pm - you can buy ticket online at - http://www.salfordcitystadium.com/ or on the day at the ticket booths.

Yes indeed - the stadium company judge how much to open by advance ticket sales, not anticiplated attendance - the problem with not owning our own ground ...

Fire and ice didnt deter firefighters battling a blaze in the city Wednesday evening.
Ogdensburg fire and rescue crews responded to the fire at 1023 Mechanic Street shortly before 5 p.m.
The fire started after homeowner Patrick Cousino attempted to thaw his pipes using a handheld torch, Ogdensburg Asst. Fire Chief Kenneth J. Stull said.
Although Mr. Stull said thawing pipes with a torch is common, he strongly discouraged it.
The open flame caused some of the paper backing in the insulation in the ceiling to catch fire, and it spread through a crawl space and into the eaves of the house, he said.
A portion of Mechanic Street was closed off while firefighters sawed open the roof toward the back of the two-story house to locate the source of the fire.
We ventilated the roof and that enabled the interior firefighters to find the crawl space, Mr. Stull said.
Ice on the ground posed a few problems to firefighters as they and ladders slipped on the frozen ground, Mr. Stull said.
One firefighter fell, was injured and treated on scene.
He is already back to work, Mr. Stull said.
There were no injuries among the residents. Two people who were in the building at the time of the fire, got out safely, Mr. Stull said.
There was minor damage between the quick response and the property owner who was able to point us in the direction of the fire and we were able to minimize the damage.

A famous African proverb says that it takes a village to raise a child, and here at Who What Wear, we think the same thing could be easily declared of trends. After all, a fashion-forward item must pass through the hands and eyes of designers, stylists, editors, celebrities, and tastemakers before, say, a leopard-print accent truly bears a stamp of must-have approval. Yet as often is the case with group efforts, some of the most important saints of style--the buyers--routinely go unsung. As the gatekeepers between the brands and consumers, these highly influential people are responsible for knowing what pieces you're going to want to wear months before you do and ensuring that the right looks are in stock when you are ready to shop. They have early and thorough access to all of the products that will be available each season, which means they're also powerful forces for dictating trends. (Think about it: can a trend really blow up if no one can purchase the necessary pieces for said look? Not really.) Additionally, these chic workhorses are constantly on-the-go: meeting with brands, scouting out new talent, and taking copious notes at every show. Accordingly, we've asked a handful of buyers from four of our favorite online shopping destinations to share what they think we need in our closets for Resort 2011. Packed with pieces poised to both freshen up your fall wardrobe and serve as a precursor for all the fun to come this spring, these e-commerce leaders' top picks are not to be missed! Thus, without further ado, we bring you what the buyers are, well, buying and hope that you are just as inspired as we are to get a jump-start on warm-weather wear!
Holli Rogers / Net-a-Porter's Buying Director
Proenza Schouler PS1 Small Suede Satchel ($1225)
We're longtime fans of Proenza Schouler's iconic PS1 handbags, so this new iteration in tobacco suede has us--and Rogers--duly thrilled. "I expect to wear this perfect day bag every time I head out of the house ready for adventure," Rogers says. We'll be sure to look for it slung across her shoulder, accenting minimalist basics and exotic prints, come New York Fashion Week!
Lanvin Gourmet Chain Link Bracelet ($585)
"From a fitted white shirt to a tee and jeans, a bold bracelet like this can transform any outfit," says Rogers and we can't help but agree! The mixed metals allow this investment piece to seamlessly coordinate with any ensemble, while the dazzling rhinestones and classic chain-link style will immediately upgrade even the most basic look.
Erdem Chie Printed Silk-Satin Maxi Skirt ($1250)
This gorgeous kaleidoscopic maxi skirt combines two of spring's biggest trends: a floor-grazing hemline and a digitally abstract floral print, making it pretty much the perfect purchase. Rogers suggests wearing this striking Net-a-Porter-exclusive piece with a slouchy gray sweater now and a luxe white t-shirt as the weather turns warmer. We could also imagine it dressed up with chandelier earrings and strappy heels for a daytime wedding outfit.
Lisa Gardener / MyTheresa's Editor-in-Chief
Proenza Schouler Patterned Dress ($1033)
Proenza Schouler can always be counted on for the coolest pieces and collections that are the perfect blend of "bohemian luxe meets downtown hip," Gardner says, and this patterned dress is the ideal example of the brand's desirable aesthetic. "Wear it now with your favorite chunky knits," she says. "Then toughen up the look with a metal-detail belt and an edgy flat for spring!" Perfect advice indeed!
Stella McCartney Falabella Chain-Link Tote ($1068)
One of the things we love about Stella McCartney is her ability to whip up super stylish accessories that are always eco-chic and vegan-friendly. This season, she's done it again with this black woven and metallic tote that Gardener says has the "perfect off-duty-model attitude." The chain detailing toughens up the slouchy woven shape, while the charcoal gray hue is an unexpected neutral that will work with any outfit.
Yves Saint Laurent Palais 105 Peep-Toe Pumps ($705)
"Tan and chestnut may have been the investment accessories for fall, but now it's time to go bold and bright," Gardener says. Accordingly, she selected these fire engine red pumps, which are right in line with spring's bold color trend. In the meantime, she'll be wearing them with black cigarette pants and a nude blouse to punch up her winter wear.
Bridget Cosgrave / Matches Fashion's Buying Director
Stella McCartney Botanical Dress ($1519)
We've been seeing bold botanical-print dresses popping up on some of our favorite tastemakers and know that this is definitely a trend to watch. Accordingly, we were thrilled that Cosgrave picked this shift dress with a delightfully whimsical floral pattern. Cosgrave recommends teaming this perfect summer piece "with a high-heeled espadrille from YSL and a brushed gold Heidi Klein cuff" for a fresh and fabulous look.
Yves Saint Laurent Muse 2 Tote Bag ($1310)
Ladylike satchels are one of our favorite handbag trends, so when Cosgrave mentioned this Yves Saint Laurent tote we were duly thrilled. The navy hue is uber chic, while the contrasting white canvas lining is a lovely detail that's ideal for spring. Use this exclusive Matches handbag to add polish and enhance your daytime outfit; it's perfect for elevating everything from a neutral summer dress to a simple tee and jeans.
Yves Saint Laurent Gipsy Sandals ($876)
These raffia sandals definitely have it-shoe power, making them absolutely worth the investment and then some! The woven bottom and color blocking render them perfectly on-trend, while the strappy top half adds a dose of sex appeal. Wear them now with rolled khakis and a silky blouse, and then use them to punctuate all your diaphanous dresses when summer kicks in.
Kate Ciepluch / Shopbop's Fashion Director
Patterson J. Kincaid Melinda Striped Cropped Sweater ($158)
Ciepluch feels that a nautical sweater is a closet staple, and we couldn't agree more--bateau stripes are the perfect way to integrate some effortless cool into your look. While you're sure to get tons of everyday outfit mileage out of this navy and crème pullover, Ciepluch suggests pairing it with "denim cut-offs and a tiny bit of tummy showing" for a sultry summer look.
KORS Michael Kors Vena Wedge Booties ($275)
This slip-on boot strikes the ideal balance between comfort and style, and Ciepluch finds the contrast between the taupe leather and the wood wedge both striking and uber chic. "I will wear these now with my true blue Ksubi skinnies and a chunky turtleneck," she says. "Then when the weather warms up, I will wear them with a tailored white short."
Matthew Williamson Escape Twisted Bandeau Bikini ($295)
A bikini is always a must-have for that mid-winter getaway, and Ciepluch loves this one for its "pretty pale print and desert horizon color palette." Additionally, the ruched bandeau top is a nice alternative to a standard triangle shape, enabling you to expand your repertoire when it comes to swimsuit silhouettes.--Liza Kaplan
