Welcome. Not to be smart, but maybe one of the first things you could do is update the Cara website: as of 8/9 there is no notice of your appointment, and Bill Fitzgerald is still listed as the Interim Director.

All Breitling Watch now posses the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute) designation. In order to have this designation, Navitimer Watches had to pass rigorous testing procedures to prove that Navitimer World are able to compete with the best of the best. Montbrillant Datora are not only stylish and attractive; they are also some of the highest quality watches that money can buy.

Coach Purses will continue to grown in sales with it's introduction of the new "Scribble" pattern, the "Scarf" pattern, and my personal favorite, the Coach Madison pattern. If you are looking for a timeless classic Coach Luggage or something new, just check out Coach Legacy for the best of both worlds.


While these do not bear the tattoo inspired Ed Hardy clothing on the outer portion of the hardy shirt , they can be found on the foot bed as well as the outsole. As all designs and style, these have the famous ED Hardy Shoes signature placed in a rather subtle way on the outer toe area. If one word could sum these up, hardy shirts would be "Wow!"
