Back in the day/when I was young I'm not a kid anymore...

...But some days, I sit and wish I were a kid again (c) Ahmad

So, I've wanted these shoes ever since I was in the 6th grade... My Mom was not having it! These and the North Carolina Blue and White 11's are the only two pair of shoes that I really regret not having in my childhood (I'm a spoiled brat, so SUE ME! :-p). So, I was truly excited about the retro... HOWEVER, I just really want the original! :(. Check out the difference below

Original...


Retro...


I don't like that the Retro's have replaced the Air Diamond Turf logo with a 2010...BUT, I saw THESE on ebay... So I might have to get the '05 retro for $65 bucks... You can't beat that I guess... Meanwhile, I'll just pray that Nike releases the originals :(

...For those that do want the retro Nike Air Diamond Turf's... they should be dropping sometime in June :)

Blazing Saddles (c) Mel Brooks

So I saw these saddles on my way to work walking to the Blue Line (the Damen stop), and I couldn't help but snap a pic... Aren't they just beautiful?



I liked these yellow brogue's as well... But I hear the paint chips pretty bad on them so that's a bummer :(


If you want either then make your way to City Soles/Niche... *Warning* the footwear there is NOT cheap, but they do have a layaway plan for you ballers on a budget... lol


My saddles :)

I love you, but I love myself more (c) Samantha

Sex and the City 2 trailer...


I think I'm the only SATC fan that is NOT thrilled about this movie coming out... *sigh* just let SATC be great! It just needs to die... From this trailer the movie does not look promising... I'm gonna see it, but I think this go round, I'm going to be sadly disappointed. I will work on paying less attention to the plot... and more attention to the fashion! :)

If you’re enough lucky to be Irish, you’re lucky enough! (c) Irish Song

Well, these surfaced overseas a few days after St. Patty's Day... So maybe they're Celtic's inspired? Hmmm, anyway, I love green so I'm down... Those that know me know that I'm not particularly an avid fan of dunks. In fact, I only have three pair... Nike has been rather uncreative and dull with the colorways for the past few years... But me likey these! :)



Spring has sprung (c) Lew Duffey


Well yesterday was the first day of Spring... and it got me kind of excited. Though it isn't warm yet in Chicago I can't stop myself from looking at fun Spring things :). If you aren't aware I loveeeee spring! You'll rarely catch me in kicks when spring rolls around... I'm all about strappy sandals, boat shoes, etc... Spring is the opportunity to let my girlie/prep side shine lol. I get to wear cute lil dresses and ditch my least fav clothing item in the worlddddd (the coat) lol. So, if you're trying to get on my good side, buy me one of the things below ;-)















If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense... (c) Alice

...Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?


So everyone that knows me knows that I'm obsessed with Tim Burton (so sad that I can't go to his exhibit at MoMA... I wish I had friends that were as down for ridiculousness as me so that I didn't have to bare all the expenses lol), and I have been waiting for this movie to come out FORR EEVVV ERRR (c) The Sandlot... Not because I thought that it would be a cinematic masterpiece... (I mean Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was disappointment enough) but mostly because I just loveeeee the look of Tim Burtons films... They're so dark and dreary, but so yet so lively... such visual contradictions and I love the goth undertones... Anyway, the movie was ok... It suffered a lil plot-wise... HELENA BONHAM CARTER totally upstaged Johnny Depp which was a pleasant surprise... between the White Queen's floating hands and Professor Snape... I mean Absolum the Blue Caterpillar lol I was thoroughly entertained... The wardrobe ROCKED and I LOVED the way Stayne seemed to move in freeze frame motions... Anywho, enough with the nerd I've read too many film books so I am too into the meticulous aspects of a film review... The score was AMAZING! Danny Elfman did it again.... Sheez! Well, if you can't tell already I'm uber biased, so go see it for yourself! :-p


*Mia is the name of the actress that played Alice in real life... coincidence? I think not... The character and I have striking similarities lol


Just because I like torture...

I need it in my life/I want it in my life/Come put it in my life/I'm a keep it in my life (c) Juvenile


Those that know me know that I am not one of those sneakerheads that are only in love with the swoosh. It's a fact that I have wayyyyy more chucks than dunks. I just love them... and to all the people that used to tease me back in the day for wearing them. How ya like me now? I bet you have a few pairs dontcha? TOOL-POSER-HIPSTER-FACE *rant over.*

Get them for me HERE (I wear a size 4.5 in mens and a 6.5 in women's in Chucks ;-)


Also shoutout to Ty over at RegularOlTy.com. His site is the reason I can add these beauties to my collection :)... I found the shoes below on his site too! PURE HOTNESS!!!!

This is it? (c) MJ movie

So as you know I’m always complaining about the lack of sweet kicks for women. The Blazers below are no exception… they’re just doing a lil too much lol. Not all girls need lace, sequins, and flowers… Sometimes we just want a simple kick too.








It looks like JB is kind of getting it here… Expect these to come about realllll soon… Spring 2010… More info HERE
