Very Hot/Too Much?

There has been a recent obsession within my life: wedge sneakers. I recently bought a pair (no longer available, which makes me scared because that means no one wanted to buy) that's black with exaggerated mid-level netting (like in a regular running shoe) and altered it a bit to make the laces look less tacky. I've been continually looking at them but I don't yet have the heart to actually wear them because I've not seen anyone in real life do so. I know life is not about caring what others think about your shoes but...I used up that bravery for schooling, career, and social life...so they kind of have this style:

The soles on mine are black and I got them from Agaci. The ones above are from Steve Madden by the way (also not availible). I actually love the idea of combining athleticism with the femininity of a wedge but I so far have not heard anyone agree with me that these things are actually worth wearing...hopefully, one day, I get a spurt of courage. Right now, I will only consider wearing these if I'm going somewhere I know I will never come back to XD. But, the bottomline of this post is validate my opinion so I can actually regularly wear these. JK

Easy and Classy Nail Art

In our ever increasingly busy world, it's hard to find the right balance between cute and professional- especially among so many different professions and workplace expectations. This week, I chose to highlight this adorable and easy nail design, which features the ever-classy combo of black and white. All you have to do is paint two coats of a solid white above a base coat, let them dry, and then use two strips of nail tape's straight edges (or even regular pieces of tape) to paint black lines. This idea is absolutely stunning and would never look too flirty in the casual setting. Top off your finished product with a top coat to lock in shine and you're ready to go!
