When you have a food blogger amidst your group of friends, you just tend to go on far too many food adventures. *looks sadly at the ever expanding waist line*

So to conceal whatever love handles, you dress in your most comfy outfits. That being said, you also want to remember to always get into a pair of comfy sneakers. Crossing the country in searching of your favourite grub is no mean feat, and subjecting your soles to stifling conditions will leave you with some unhappy feet. To please both your stomach AND keep your feet happy, sneakers are the best way to go!

Hooray for looking cute without crippling foot pain!

I recently re-discovered this pair of R20 sneakers *cough* under my bed. I bought them almost 2 years ago in Kuala Lumpur in a sneaker store in Sungei Wang and then they somehow mysteriously disappeared.

I had always wondered where they were. Could have sworn I bought them. Because I couldn’t find them, I honestly at times doubted whether I even HAD them. Lol. Maybe it was all part of my imagination. I could POSSIBLY have dreamed I bought them. I wanted them so bad that I thought I bought them. It wasn’t till Sneaker Sunday conceptualised that I asked my mum if she’d seen that pair of sneakers. Lo and behold, with some le3t investigative skills, she found them in their original box. I swear, my mum is the best at searching for my missing stuff.

I love how the sneakers are white with hints of gold trimming and lovely prints on the side. They’re cute yet spunky. On my food adventure, I wear these R20 sneakers with a cute denim flared skirt from B.U.M Equipment and white long sleeved cotton tank top from Victoria’s Secret. These are my favourite pair of sneakers currently because of the cushy interior that makes my feet feel like it’s walking on air. Teehee. I always always tuck my laces in when it comes to sneakers to save me the hassle of tying my laces everytime. Yes, I am lazy.

But you shouldn’t be because you need to go check out Violet’s cute retro inspired outfit NOW, or I will zap you with the back of my shiny Blackberry! Sneaker Sunday has made it through an entire month! Hooray! But we’re still taking entries for the Gallery. ;)

Who are the hottest boys you know? Throw me some names people! Ryan Reynolds easily tops my list of hottest men. Oh please don’t get me started on that scene of him in “The Proposal”. :D I was going to feature him this week for Sneaker Sunday since Violet and I are paying tribute to the people whom sneakers were made for, but decided that some good things cannot be shared. Hahaha.

I’m no expert on men’s fashion, but boys and sneakers are always a good combination in my opinion. Sneakers can pretty much take a boy’s outfit anywhere: sneakers and casual jeans, sneakers and a formal blazer. Oh yes, sneakers make for good footwear with almost any outfit. They’re comfortable, stylish and add a touch of boyish charm to his outfit.

This week, we take a leaf out of the pages of a celebrity boy to see what sneakers he’s wearing and how he wears it.

Taylor Lautner of Twilight and New Moon fame wears this awesome high cut sneaker from Creative Recreation Cesario. I really love how the black finish of this pair can be taken from day to night. And you know how I have this thing for high cut sneakers right? So any boy who wears them gets the thumbs up from me. Taylor wears them with Diesel Darron jeans topped off with a simple cotton round neck tee and aviator shades.

Ahhhh.. Simple, casual and sleek.

I’d love for all boys to dress like this. I’m quite sure they would love to too because despite the simple combination, the look is polished yet relaxed. Sneakers are the way to go! In fact, Violet’s beau tells you exactly why he likes sneakers in this week’s post.

Although Taylor pulls off this style effortlessly, I’m sure I could do that same. Hahaha. So for next week’s Sneaker Sunday, I’ll post my outfit with sneakers. Stay tuned!

Have a Happy #sneakersunday Mother’s Day!

Have you gotten mum a present for Mother’s Day yet? Maybe mum would like a new pair of sneakers as a gift. :D

HELLO THERE! COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM THE PHILIPPINES!

I’m writing this post from my girl Sandra’s laptop because I love you all so much and know you love reading about Sneaker Sunday as much as I love writing about it. I had to do this post here this week because I got my very awesome pair of Ed Hardy pink high cut ones right here in the Philippines. Thus, being back here this week, I just had to pay tribute to them in the “motherland” because those sneakers are teh winz! Unfortunately, I won’t be showcasing them this week. You’ll have to stayed tuned to see them in the new few posts. :D

This week, Violet and I have decided to give some coordination tips on how to wear your sneakers and your flats.

I decided to cover the sneaker side of things because I’m definitely more of a sneaker girl. As a testament to my love for sneakers, I actually have more sneakers than I do pretty pumps. Oh yes, I was such a tomboy (and actually still am). Haha. The current score stands 5 sneakers to 2 pumps. Kitten heels dont count as pumps right?

For this post, I will show you some of my favourite types of sneakers and suggest ideas on how to wear them other than only pairing it with your usual jeans.

This pair of ADIDAS HIGHRISE SNEAKERS for their new Spring 2010 collection practically has my name on it. I LOVE HIGH CUT SNEAKERS! Don’t you agree they look so comfy? If I had them, I’d wear them with short shorts, a baggy off-shoulder top and layer lotsa chains over it. Definitely aiming for more of a street style with this pair of shoes. I wanna look like I could kick someone’s butt in these shoes. Hahaha.

Now this pair of BAPE GINGHAM HIGHCUT would look totally cute with either a preppy dress or pleated skirt and sweater combination. The print itself is so adorable. Think Gossip Girl: white shirt, loosely undone necktie, pleated skirt and hairband if you wish, with the above. It’s preppy with an attitude. Tres tres chic.

How cute are these SKECHERS WOMEN’S ZEPHYR shoes. I’ve got a pair similar to these from some random shoe shop in KL a while ago and I love how cute they are. They remind me a little of skater shoes and because the front is round, it always makes your feet look cute. Hee hee. I wear them with a flared denim skirt and fitted top with long billowing sleeves. I like how this pair of shoes have a little bit of feminine elegance in them yet are still spunky.

There you go boys and girls, 3 different types of sneakers I would love to own and some ideas on how you can wear them. But I’ve only covered the sneaker side of it. Violet has some ideas in her post on how you can match cute flats for all sorts of occasions, so make sure you also check that out.

Sneaker Sunday last week was very well-received and I have to thank you guys for your awesome support! If you haven’t caught onto the hype, have a look see at last week’s post to see what all the fuss is about. But don’t just sit behind your screen and look. Send me your photos! We want to see more of them in the Gallery! :D
