Setting the Mood: Keep On Rockin’ Me

By |July 16th, 2012|Setting the Mood|

rock and rollI’ve said before that I actually might have been a rockstar in a past life.  Maybe I even missed my calling… except for the fact that I’m tone deaf and lacking any and all musical talent.  So, scratch that.  Doesn’t mean I can’t channel my inner rock goddess in the form of fashion.  I mean, we all know that fashion and music go hand in hand (leather and lace).  Being a rockstar doesn’t necessarily mean decking yourself out in head to toe leather- though I’m not opposed to such… shall we talk about my sophomore year of highschool homecoming dress?  Adding an edgier item to any ensemble can take you from Miley Cyrus to Pat Benatar.

Rock and roll may have died with Nirvana, but the style lives on.

Would You Wednesday: Need a Lift?

Remember when I blogged about the ever growing trend of celebrities sporting sneakers?  Well, I went ahead and took my own advice and got myself some kick ass kicks.  I mean, it’s very rare that we, ladies, win out.  Something that is in style as well as comfortable?  Yes, please!  I like the look of super casual sneakers with an ultra feminine frock or short shorts.  (I love contradictions, remember?).

So, I got a pair of these Ash wedge sneakers, but have yet to take them on their maiden voyage .  I can’t decide if I love them or loathe them.  From the front, I adore them… but then I turn to the side… ash cool wedge sneakersand I kind of abhor them.

The wedge makes me feel like I’m wearing lifts in my shoes… kinda like Tom Cruise.  I’m just wondering: does the wedge make a shoe that should be so nonchalant look altogether fussy?  Shall we just stick to good ol’ fashion flat sneakers, like my Reebok Dibellos?  They have been cool for the past 125 years, afterall.  To me, putting a wedge in an athletic shoe is kind of like pretending Drake never played Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi.  But that’s just me.  Thoughts?

Play ball!
