Everything you need to know to gear up for summer

Summer isn't just a time of year. It's a sleep-in, stay-up-late, soak-up-the-sun lifestyle.

Gear up for 90-plus days of beaches, balmy weather and barbecue with style and beauty essentials that are both fashionable and functional. Here are seven necessities for spending the season in style.

(ERIN HOOLEY/Standard-Examiner) Ream’s has eight stores throughout Utah, and the Layton store at 1040 N. Main St. is the largest, with its wall of boots and jeans displaying more than 2,000 pairs of boots and thousands of jeans.

Ream's hits the mainstream: Western fashion gains in popularity

LAYTON – Western fashion has been around a long time, but those in the business are beginning to see more cross-over into regular fashion.

Jodi Jones, store manager at the Layton Ream’s Boots & Jeans, was surprised to see so many girls looking for boots to go with homecoming dresses, and even brides searching for boots to match their wedding dress.

It hasn’t always been like that, especially since Western wear has always been about a year-and-a-half behind the fashion world, according to Brian Hulce, regional manager for Ream’s. It wasn’t until the early 2000s that Western fashion seemed to catch up.

Book offers behind-the-scenes view of 'Downton Abbey'

"THE WORLD OF DOWNTON ABBEY." By Jessica Fellowes. St. Martin's. $29.99.

The wise Lord Grantham suggests that we all have "chapters we would rather keep unpublished." So true. But what we're happy to see published is "The World of Downton Abbey," a fascinating companion to the hit PBS series about an aristocratic family and their army of servants.

'We Back Pat' shirts become national fashion statement

As Tennessee's women's basketball team made its way through two far-flung road trips recently, the scenery at each venue was strikingly similar.

The bright orange "We Back Pat" T-shirts were on display at Madison Square Garden, Rutgers, UCLA and Stanford, as the Lady Vols made a 10-day road swing, going 3-1.

The shirts are a vivid reminder of Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt's widespread popularity. They're also a reminder that this UT season is about more than women's basketball.
