Crave: Fred Perry Satin High Top

Sneakers really aren’t our go-to footwear because most of the time we’re wearing dresses or skirts. But these high tops satisfy our need for glamour and comfort. Made of satin, an unconventional sneaker fabric, these high tops would look cute and unexpected with a casual dress or skirt. Plus, they remind us of old school roller skates from the laces to the taupe-ish color. [$59.99, UrbanOutfitters.com] Keep reading »

Lose Weight When You Walk

Ladies! Throw those weight loss resolutions out the window. There is a new piece of workout equipment destined to change your life. It’s a shoe. I know, I was a skeptic too. But The MBT (Massai Barefoot Technology) is being called the world’s smallest gym. It looks like a sneaker but the sole is curved and thick. Initially, when you put them on it almost feels like you might fall backwards because it seems like you’re walking on a springy mass (like a trampoline) or a sandy beach. But once you get comfortable walking in the shoes, it’s like a total body workout without even putting in work. You just walk like you normally do. You can run your errands or go for a walk, only this time you’re getting a serious workout in. The shoe works on firming and toning your abs, thighs, legs and butt muscles. I’m not complaining about trying to drop a couple of holiday pounds. It also helps improve posture and relieves stress on our joints and back. The shoe is so hot reportedly celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow, Cher and Heidi Klum own a pair. Keep reading »

How to Kiss With Your Eyes Open

You’ve probably already had your fill of indie emo guys slobbering all over you. Just kidding, who can get enough? Converse, makers of the sneakers for at least 50% of the guys you dated in college, have just released KissingwithRoss.com, an “Average Joe” style ad campaign, but his makin’ out is above average. He gets right up on the lense and goes for it, tongue and all. Okay, so usually when we’re licking someone’s face, we close our eyes, but Ross is giving us a reason to keep our peepers open.

K-Swiss Should Keep It Real

Sex sells. But what about purity? A K-Swiss ad campaign features tennis star Anna Kournikova in a white sports bra and a teeny-tiny mini skirt, showing off her midriff like a high school ho. Now that they’ve got your attention with some T&A, what’s the slogan say? “Keep It Pure.” Um, what?! While we’re sure that Anna Kournikova is a lady, when there’s a billboard of her rolling around on her back on the tennis court, chastity doesn’t come to mind. And why should it? We’re not sure why K-Swiss is trying to sell sneakers with abstinence — something that even their cover girl Kournikova, who has been doing the horizontal mambo with Enrique Iglesias for years, doesn’t represent. And everyone knows, like a modern woman, it’s impossible for white sneakers to not get a little dirty. Keep reading »

Style On The Street: Red Hair And Basic Sneakers

This week, I saw Rilo Kiley play — Jenny Lewis is the cutest. This girl’s hair reminds me of Jenny’s hair, though I hear reddish hair is hard to manage in the summer (if it’s not natural, it might get brassy). Oh well, at least you can wear some simple sneakers like hers — they remind me of Now and Then. [Trender Bender] Keep reading »
