    Kicking it with @Palladium_Boots

    I have been looking for the perfect summer shoe that can take the heat, the Brooklyn streets and have the style and comfort I want.  I know everyone is lusting for the wedge sneakers lately but I had something else in mind.  Let me introduce you to the Palladium Slim Chukka.

    This is the off white + pool blue colorway and (they also come in black + pool blue as well)

    These leather sneakers look so cute because of their jute (a glossy fiber like burlap) espadrille-style foxing (looks like brown spots on old paper). But what makes the Chukka Slims so special is the Repreve ® certified recycled yarn is used to weave the Dri-Lex ® lining that wicks moisture and keeps the feet dry – very very necessary for summer days, no stinky toes!  I can’t wait to wear these with my favorite cut off shorts and dresses.

    They are SO adorable – You really can’t ask for a more low profile sneaker that goes with everything!

    Fun times with @BariBeauty and @RimmelLondonUS

    I usually stick to shades of red or pink when it comes to nail polish, but as I was brushing my teeth the other day, I glanced over at my lil basket of nail polish and there were a few Bari Cosmetics nail polishes that I hadn’t tried yet, that caught my eye… especially the glittery one, that one really caught my eye. I also had a cute pink Rimmel London nail polish that I hadn’t tried yet, so I figured, since I was in the mood to “explore” nail polish, why not invite it to the “party.”

    I have to say I gotten way better with painting my own finger nails, it’s usually quite disastrous and messy lol, so I’m quite pleased with the end result 🙂

    peace and love

    Self-serve froyo with @myorangeleaf

    There’s Pinkberry, there’s Red Mango, there’s Yogurtland…and I just recently discovered Orange Leaf!

    Frozen yogurt is my new obsession, especially with places like Orange Leaf. You pick your own flavor(s) and how much you want, add toppings from the many choices you can pick from, and weigh & pay!

    I had mango flavor with strawberries, blackberries, and oreos. Super delicious (& healthy, minus the oreos hehe). This is definitely my new go-to place in Andover, MA.

    Toppings

    Don’t know which flavor to choose? Ask for a sample! You can find a list of locations on their website. Hopefully there is one near you!
