Popping Trainers

While, these shoes were made for walking they certainly were not done at the moment of time - with a long car ride ahead. There was the need to be comfortable; fortunately a rather warm day in January – as considered by the methodologist. I opted for comfy bottoms and a cozy top – with a rather plain palette I felt the need for a pop of colour. These trainers purchased at an Adidas Tent sale at the beginning of fall did just that; topped with a few basic accents i.e. white watch, hand candy, trendy scarf and my new toy perfect road trip essentials.

The start of the year has been extremely eventful already and it has only been week one. Although I did not set resolutions officially; there are goals achievements I hope will work towards in 2012. The list in short: upping the dosage on H2o, Drivers license – done well kinda, permit achieved practical test to be done, healthier diet (list is subject to change for better or worst :D throughout the year). Note to self futher reviews 2012 goals achievements.    

Gold Dust

The dawn of 2012 has been welcoming and glorious to say the least. Last night I took a minute to reflect upon 2011. While it was eventful it also had it trials and tribulations to say the least. I suppose anything worth having should entails those factors i.e. the trials and tribulations.

This time last year I was counting down the days, as time was more than precious to complete what I dedicated my life too, that is, the book as I like to call it or formally known as my dissertation. Now, while I will like to recant the glorious ins and outs of that process I rather save a little for the history books – fugitively speak of course.

Therefore, with the dawn of 2012 in front of me I felt the need to be: easy, breezy and carefree. Meeting with a few mates for dinner was just the way to do that. Here’s the little number I pieced together for the night.

Shrug: TradeEx, Basic White Top:  Walmart

Trousers: Village Discount, Boots: Hounslow High Street

Wanting to have a bit of sparkle but not over the top (after all it was a house gathering) I was able to adorn a simple with top with my brown/gold shrug of a sort. I was able to grab this TradeEx for a quid, at the time I thought what can I do with it, but it sure is cute :) (any rational for a purchase is better than non at all). With my upper half covered everything else just seemed to fall into place. Brown stripped pant (enough room for eats – check) Tan boots (cozy comfortable and warm – check). Time piece for the count down and a few simple piece – “viola”!
