Kicks, Kicks I Do Adore

It was a Monday. The sun was out. I was hopeful that the day will get warmer as the sun rose higher and higher. What started out as a trip to drop people off to pick up their RV turned into a mini shopping spree. All thanks to a 2-hr down time. On a really quick whim off we went to Wrentham Premium Outlets.

As I am getting older, I've noticed that my taste in sneakers, clothes basically fashion in general has changed. A change for the better I might say. A little more sophisticated but without giving up any of my taste for the bright and funky. I am still a street fashion girl at heart that's just embracing her more sophisticated, feminine side.

Now back to my story, first it was Nike. I was disappointed. I didn't find anything and I realized that I might have outgrown Nike. Still love the kicks though but harder to find ones that I would jump at in a heartbeat. 

I love the Honeys because they remind me of Christian Louboutin's with the red bottoms. Oh, I wish I can get a pair of Christian Louboutin's kicks. This can step up your outfit from casual to edgy in a second. The pair pictured below are SOLD OUT.

So here are my findings at the Adidas store:

You can't tell with the pics but the print got a kind of shiny, metallic look to it. Oh, they also came with red laces but I think that I just rock it with the original laces. Got these on the clearance rack for only $29.99 each. SAY WHAT!!! I would've spent more but it was my lucky day hence the reason for purchasing both pairs.

Enlightenment

Last night, during my downtime before work I was watching the news report on the tsunami/earthquake aftermath in Japan. I actually cried. Nothing loud, no sobbing but I cried. To see other sacrifice their life for the sake of their community and family. I was just so touched by their act of heroism and selflessness. Such selfless acts by these 50 men from Fukushima risking their lives to try and save the nuclear reactor plant. Such heroism. Which made me think to myself, would I be able to sacrifice my life for the sake of the general good??

Florida, Here I Come!

Its about that time year again for my annual trip to visit my friend Da S. in St. Petersburg FL. I've made a promise to try and visit her at least once a year. I usually don't make promises and if I do I will try to keep my word.

My first visit was back in 2009 for her baby shower. Truthfully the visit serves a dual purpose. 1) Visit and catch up with a dear friend and 2) a little rest and relaxation from the daily grind.

Dear friends are so hard to find. I will travel miles and over mountains to catch up with a dear friend. Why let distance get in the way? Like I mentioned in a previous post, my friendships just come with ease. Even though she lives in Florida and I reside in Massachusetts, there are no challenges in making my yearly trip to visit her. Can't wait!!!

Blue Liner, Oh My

I love playing with make-up. Leave me in Sephora and I can do some serious damage. Got bored with just the typical black or brown liner so I decided to experiment with some color. Navy is pretty safe but the blue step it up a notch.  I did the cat-eye in the navy liner then went back in with the blue liner just along the upper lash only. And yes, I did wear it out in public. I paired it with pink lips (NYX's liplinerRimmel's lipstick in Pink Blush and NYX's gloss in Barbie Pink in Dolly Pink, ) and pink blush (NYX's powder blush in Pinky). I think it paired well with each other especially since my outfit was basically all black.

Sephora's new liquid liners are awesome. Love the applicator which really helps in applying the liner. It can go from thin lines to thick statement making lines. Reminds me of the old Chinese calligraphy pen.
