current obsession: katy perry collections shoes

I remember the first time that I heard Katy Perry on the radio. Her unique voice immediately struck a chord and it wasn't long before I was a full blown Katy Kat (aka a Katy Perry fan). In the years since, I have continued to be a fan of hers and have posted about her music, makeup, perfume, and accessories on the creation of beauty is art. many times. Now? It is time to talk about her shoe collection. I had seen pictures of various collections online in the past and thought the designs were super adorable. When my mom gifted me the Summer Ballet Flat recently (which E! News included on a list of Katy Perry Collections shoes needed to "complete your summer wardrobe")...it was exciting to say the least. These summery shoes are totally my style and check off a lot of boxes. Ready to take a peek at the shoes? Find out why they are a current obsession? Here goes...

new in: ugg classic clear mini boots

Fashion should be fun, but every now and then, it should also be practical. Enter the Ugg Classic Clear Mini Boots. It is no secret that I adore the Ugg brand. Their shoes and boots are both aesthetically pleasing (my 00s fashion addiction never ends) and comfortable. I love that the inside is always warm and fuzzy...and the outside is bold and unapologetic. Once the winter season starts, my Ugg boots are in heavy rotation. I have a grey pair, a silver glitter pair, and a red pair with bows on the back. These are absolute musts when the snow piles up outside. During the spring and summer months? There are cute slip on sandals to wear around the house. Ugg really has all the days covered. Except when it rains. Ugg boots and drizzly days are not a perfect match. Until now, at least. Take a peek at my new Ugg boots and find out why they are ideal for grey days. 

seasonal favourites for 2022 (movies, decorations, and music)

Christmas time is here...happiness and cheer. Can you tell that I am in the holiday mood these days? It is no secret that the month of December is my favourite. I cherish each and every day leading up to the main event. For me, the days and weeks before Christmas always feel extra special. There are traditions to enjoy and decorations to look at. There is music to listen to, movies to watch, treats to enjoy, and opportunities to see loved ones. Though this is without a doubt a busy and hectic season, there is so much happiness thrown into the mix as well. Speaking of happiness, there are some seasonal favourites that have been making me smile lately. Though there are holiday staples (like John Denver records, Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes, and Food Network holiday baking shows)...2022 has seen some new favourites added into the mix. 

new in: juicy couture shoes (sneakers and slides)

Stuck in the 00s? Most definitely. I have to admit, it is kind of strange seeing the brands and trends that I love come back into style again. Even though Juicy Couture tracksuits and accessories were considered 'uncool' a few short years ago...they have suddenly become popular once more. This is excellent news for me, because I never stopped wearing any of it. I still have my Juicy Couture tracksuits, shirts, purses, and bracelets from the 00s! While I appreciate trends and think they are a lot of fun, at the end of the day, I wear what I like. If something I like is no longer trendy, that doesn't mean that I throw it all away. After all, fashion is not just about wearing the latest and greatest. It's about what makes you feel like your absolute best self. Thankfully, this Juicy Couture resurgence makes it a whole lot easier to find new items from the brand and fill in some gaps. Ready to take a peek at some Juicy Couture shoes? One is a new pair of sneakers and the other is a pair of slides for summer.

new in: rainbow rhinestone sketchers

Every now and then, it just feels good to add a new pair of shoes to the closet. A lot of my shoes have become worn out and needed to be replaced. Especially a lot of my slip-on style shoes. So, when I happened to see the Sketchers Rainbow Rhinestone Slip-Ons with Air-Cooled Memory Foam, it seemed like a no brainer. Not only did they have a fun and colourful design, but they also were ultra comfortable. Even better? These rainbow shoes were found at Winners for a fraction of the original retail price. I always love a bargain...especially one that doesn't sacrifice style and comfort.

current obsession: dr. seuss sketchers sneakers

Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

There are so many iconic Dr. Seuss quotes. Some make you laugh, others make you think, and some put things into perspective. Like many others, Dr. Seuss books and characters have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have memories of my mom reading different books to my siblings and I before bed. Of my brother's obsession with "Marvin K. Mooney, Will You Please Go Now!" and our jokes about being Thing 1 and Thing 2. (My brother and I are twins.) Of watching "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" on VHS over and over again. There is definitely a place in my heart for the characters and the world that Dr. Seuss created. So, imagine my surprise when my mom gifted me a brand new pair of sneakers. Not just ordinary sneakers, but Dr. Seuss inspired sneakers. These Sketchers sneakers have absolutely been elevating my outfits lately. I have been trying to have a little more fun with fashion lately. Forget structured skirts and ruffled blouses. Right now, my style is all about fun and whimsy. And these shoes are the perfect way to embrace that playfulness. 

shoe obsession: randy's donuts x toms

Randy's Donuts is iconic. Though I have never visited the beloved Inglewood, California location myself...the storefront has been featured in countless movies and television shows. It is known around the world. Which is one of the reasons that the footwear collaboration between Randy's Donuts and Toms was so exciting. Anything related to popular culture is a must-have. Especially when it is paired with one of my favourite shoe brands. Ready to take a peek at the Randy's x Toms shoes that have been added to my wardrobe? Find out why they have become a total shoe obsession? Here goes...

shoe obsession: ugg fluff yeah slides in rock rose

Trends come and go....but cute and comfortable footwear is timeless. Uggs were ultra popular back in the 2000s, with celebrities like Paris Hilton and Ashley Tisdale rocking the colourful boots on and off the red carpet. They have since experienced a massive surge in popularity thanks to the fact that nostalgia has taken over lately. Me personally? I never stopped wearing my Ugg boots. I've had many pairs over the years in a wide variety of colours. It doesn't matter to me whether they are trendy or not. The fact of the matter is that Uggs are comfortable, look great, and most importantly, are warm. The latter is especially important to combat the cold Canadian winters. 

new in: fashionable footwear (glitter edition)

What is it about glitter? It makes everything seem a little bit better. The way it sparkles and shines in the light immediately makes the world seem happier and full of hope. Over the years, glitter has taken over most parts of my life. From makeup to nail polish to purses....it is absolutely everywhere. And I wouldn't have it any other way! More recently, this glitter obsession has carried over to my footwear as well. Over the holiday season, I was gifted two very sparkly pairs of shoes. One was a stylish pair of sneakers and the other was an over the top pair of boots. Winter, spring, summer, and fall, one thing is certain: I will be glittery from head to toe. Ready to take a peek at these new items? Here goes...

leave a little sparkle wherever you go.

December is here. In some ways, it feels like it has taken a very long time to get to this month. In other ways, it's difficult to believe that this is the last month in 2020. Time is a strange thing...and this has been especially true recently. One thing that always remains constant? December is thrilling. It is a time of hope and renewal. It is a month where optimism is the norm and traditions are cherished. Though each time of year has its own blessings, December will always shine brightest in my eyes. There is so much to look forward to: snowfall, seasonal movies, moments with family, and the belief that everything will turn out right. To welcome in my favourite month, here is a healthy dose of inspiration....plus a look at my new favourite pair of sneakers. They are certainly well suited to the fabulous and unforgettable month of December. 

new in: kendall + kylie accessories (purse and shoes)

At this point it should come as no surprise that I am a big fan of the Kardashian/Jenner family. Over the years, I have dedicated more than a handful of blog posts and YouTube videos to this ultra famous family. From makeup tutorials to product reviews and fashion posts...there are so many ways to get inspired by Khloe, Kim, Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie. Since I am such a huge fan, it was especially exciting to stumble upon a few pieces from the Kendall + Kylie line. (At a discount, no less.) Of course, I simply had to have them. Curious to see what the items are? Not to worry: all will be revealed. Keep reading to check out my new shoes and purse from the Kendall + Kylie fashion line.

meeting fergie + new fergalicious shoes

I met Fergie. Just typing that felt strange as the reality of that statement hasn't fully sunken in yet. For many years, I have been a fan of Fergie. (On the odd chance you don't know who she is, Fergie was a member of the Black Eyed Peas, has had a stellar solo career, has collaborated with makeup brands, released perfume, and even has her own shoe line.) In the past, I have written about her line with Wet n Wild multiple times and her eyeshadow palette even made my list of the top celebrity makeup releases. Fergie isn't just a performer, entertainer, and all around talent. She is a force to be reckoned with. Recently, she came to a nearby city to promote her line of Fergalicious and Fergie shoe lines. Though I didn't think it would be possible to meet her, I was somehow able to get a wristband. Here is a little bit about my experience and some pictures of my brand new Fergalicious shoes.

if the shoe fits, buy it in every color!

....and the shopping has begun! With the warm weather approaching, my shopping habits have hit an all-time high. Despite this, I am still trying to be better with my money (Ha!) - I've cut myself off from doing any shopping until my trip to New York next month. Until then, I will have to comfort myself with some of the amazing things I have purchased lately.

i put my new shoes on and suddenly everything's right.

I own a lot of shoes. More than I care to confess to. Surprisingly, however, I only own one pair of sandals! My shoe obsessed self used this as an excuse to buy a gorgeous new pair!

What initially struck me about these sandals, were the gorgeous colours! I love the details around the ankle as well - there are gold chains, beading, and flowers everywhere! They are so beautiful and fun!

What do you think of these?

a person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

Online shopping isn't something I do too much of....mostly because I can't afford it! I did however, break down, when I came across these super cute Hello Kitty shoes on Beyond the Rack. The first pair are really cute fuzzy sneakers! So sweet! The second are a pair of Hello Kitty flats, with little silver Hello Kitty faces on the front, and bow outlines stitched into the sides. Too adorable to resist.

champagne or high heels. one must be prepared to suffer for it.

Shoes are my weakness. I have an addiction to high heels, despite the fact that I don't have nearly enough occasions to wear them. However, I am good at ignoring this fact! I recently bought a gorgeous pair of Paris Hilton heels. They are a pretty purple, with a cute bow at the front. Fun but simple. I am already thinking of outfits to wear them with, which is clearly a sign of love.
