RATE OF BANKRUPTCIES 15 15
MARRIAGE LICENSES
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows the debtor to retain certain exempt property, but the debtor’s remaining property is gathered and sold by a trustee from which creditors will receive payment. It may also be used by businesses which wish to terminate their business. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy enables debtors, through court supervision and protection, to propose and carry out a repayment plan under which creditors are paid, in full or in part, in installments over a three-year period. During that time, debtors are prohibited from starting or continuing collection efforts. The following bankruptcies declared by Calhoun County residents were recorded by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Alabama last week:
Chapter 7 • Tammy Dickerson, Marbut Drive Southwest, Jacksonville • Jeremy Charles Jones and Susan Yates Jones, Hill Avenue, Piedmont • Tim Kemp and Jessica Kemp, Curtis Avenue, Ohatchee • Andrew Smith and Geni L.

Ode to Ugg: In or out, the boots have staying power BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL Associated Press
Take that, trend-watchers: Ugg Australia’s now-classic boots in their comfy, cozy glory just celebrated their 35th anniversary this month and are still going strong. The sort-of-clunky sheepskin boots have been declared “in” or “out” — many times over. They’ve been knocked off even more. But their loyal fans keep buying. “Have you ever tried one on? If you did, you’d know,” says Tacey Powers, national merchandise manager for Nordstrom. “They are part of the everyday wardrobe. You own a sneaker, you own a flip-flop, you own an Ugg.” The original style is still the most popular, but Ugg has branched out
to include more fashion-y silhouettes and loungewear. Home products such as blankets and decorative pillows will be offered this holiday season. Almost every item is touched, even if it’s hidden at the base of the heel, by the signature sheepskin lining. “You have to be comfortable in Ugg. You have to feel good. Our tag line is, ‘Feels like nothing else.’ We want them to be the go-to pair in your closet for everything,” says Ugg Australia President Connie Rishwain. “We don’t want to be the pretty pair you never wear.” The peak of Ugg’s pop-culture trendiness was in the early 2000s, when Hollywood starlets made them part of their uniform with short denim miniskirts. Never mind that they were cruising the
sunny beaches of Malibu, Calif. Now it’s evolved into a “GoldieHawn-in-Aspen look,” says Adam Glassman, creative director at O, The Oprah Magazine, and that’s how you should wear them: with leggings and a long sweater, or jeans and a fur-trimmed parka. Or like you just don’t care. “Ignore the rest of your outfit. It’s nearly impossible to build an outfit around them,” he says. Just don’t wear them with socks. Not because they’ll look bad, but you’ll be missing out on the sheepskin sensation t h a t makes them special.
Powers says part of Ugg’s staying power comes from consumers replacing worn-out products with new ones. Since the line isn’t dictated by trends, shoppers come back for the same thing over and over, like a favorite running shoe. The products are pricey, she allows, but she has no complaint about quality or cut corners. Nordstrom.com lists a pair of women’s classic short boots at $154.95.
Ugg Australia/ Associated Press
Over the years, designers like Rachel Zoe and Michael Kors have sung Ugg’s praises. And it’s always a similar tune: They are for the moments when comfort counts and conditions allow. Glassman recalls a blacktie event during a snowstorm. “Everyone was so glammed up, but I was tired of ruining my fancy, and expensive, shoes. I brought a little shopping bag with my tuxedo shoes, I switched them inside and checked in my Uggs at the coat check. It was a little awkward, a little Melanie Griffith in ‘Working Girl,’ but when we left ... everyone said, ‘Wow, you were the smartest guy here.’”

5. 5. Don’t worry about fashion trends — they’re fleeting. Robert Downing said it best: “Style will never go out of style.” It’s all about personal style. Delving into your wardrobe to create your ideal outfit is

supposed to be a joyous endeavor without reluctance or insecurities. The outfit above is a quintessential example of exemplifying personal style. He redesigned his jeans by adding rips and sharpened the look
with higher cuffs. The gold accessories illuminate his personal style while making the outfit more stylish. If you find a way to be comfortable in your own skin, your style will be impeccable.
6. Buying the most expensive pieces does not culminate in an outfit that stands out among others. Swagger comes from being comfortable in your own skin and reflecting your personal
style. When audacity co-mingles with appearance, you’ve got swagger. So, take notes from this beautiful young lady because she isn’t modeling in this photo — this is all swagger.
