Do you prefer a Lacoste Alligator on your polo or you would like a Peanuts’ character? Hmm, can’t decide?

Well, now you don’t have to choose between a Lacoste alligator or a Peanuts’ character.

To celebrate this milestone, the loveable 4 heroes are staying active with the LACOSTE croc: Snoopy fishing; Charlie Brown golfing; Lucy playing tennis, and Linus in a game of tug of war are all featured on special embroidered pique polos, fleece sweatshirts for men, women and kids!  Colors will range from white, navy, grey, and black with retail price from $85–$145.

Surprise for you. According to some interpreters of Old Norse mythology troll could mean magical magicians. Others contend that the world troll translates into mountain dweller, witch, heathen demigod, demon, or an abnormally strong or ugly person.

Well, regardless of which definition holds up for the word troll on Hallow’s Eve there could be lots of trolls trolling about. You could decide to stage a battle against these mystical creatures or join the ranks.

At Fashion Reverie, we are not fighters. So join the Hallow’s Eve celebration by adorning yourself with stylishly spooky creations from Trollbeads!
