iLOVEshoes: August/September Bargain Buys

Posted in shoes by krisyee on October 4, 2011

So the past two months I kind of went on a shoe binge. I mean…I’m sure I could’ve done a lot worse if I was looking for them on purpose, but five pairs is a lot when you’re not specifically looking for anything. The best part is buying shoes when they’re on sale.

In August I went to Vegas and while searching for a dress, my friend was looking for wedges. On one of our pre-vacation shopping trips, we headed into Charolette Russe. They’re not the best quality, but they’re cheap and are more comfortable than you think. And because they always have buy one get one deals, I ended up buying these. Pretty cute for $20.


While in Vegas my friend Muri and I were walking around the Miracle Mile Mall where she decided we should go into Chinese Laundry. Bad idea. I got these babies for $50. I don’t usually wear strappy heels, but these were too sexy. With a 4.5″ heel and cork platform I couldn’t pass these up. Especially when they’re usually $90, which you can still buy here.

Another day I was at Nordstrom downtown on a mission to buy some new 7 jeans. Instead I ended up in the shoe section where they were having a massive sale. And to be honest, since they were having a sale, I was looking for shoes I could use for work. I hate buying work clothes and shoes, so why not buy them when they’re on sale? So I ended up with two pairs, one pair being for work. Winning!

I got these Steve Madden patent leather flats for work. Usually they’re $60 (I would never spend that much on flats) but I got them for $40. I’ve already worn them a couple times and while they’re pretty comfortable, the stitching on the sides kind of irritate me. Maybe I have wide feet? Haha Anyways, you can still buy these here.


I’m a fan of Trouvé but never really wanted to spend that much on them. So I was excited to find these wedge booties on sale for $60. They’re the first pair of wedge booties I’ve ever bought! And I think they’re my favorite pair considering I can wear them with anything, including jeans and a t-shirt.


Then the other day I was Urban Outfitters. After buying a fedora for only $3 and some change, we realized it was 30% off sale items…so of course I checked the shoes. I couldn’t find anything in my size but then I dug further and started checking all the boxes. At the very bottom of the stack I found these Spicy Orange Kimchi Blue pumps. Cutest ever. Besides being able to wear them to work, these babies were only $15 after the 30% off (sale for $19.99, regularly $50). SCORE.


Now it’s time for me to clean out my closet and shoes.

Gym Time Playlist

Posted in jams by krisyee on September 8, 2011

So in the past I’ve posted my sexy time playlist and my sleepy time playlist. Now it’s time for my gym time playlist. I swear I’ve gone to the gym more this year than I have in the past three years and I’m glad to say that I FINALLY got into the routine of it. I think I have physical therapy to thank. Once I stopped going, my knee started hurting again so it forced me to workout on my own. Now usually I’d workout to alternative music, mainly Linkin Park…the Meteora album. But lately I’ve been dipping into what I like to call “Vegas” music. It gets me going on the elliptical. But one genre of music that  you might not think of listening to at the gym is reggae, especially dancehall reggae. It sounds kind of weird, but when I listen to it at the gym I imagine music videos. And then I think about how the girls usually look really sexy dancing to reggae and then it pushes me to want to look like that. WEIRD, I know. LOL But here are some songs that I personally listen to at the gym.

 

Alternative

  • Any Linkin Park album.

 

“Vegas” Music *Note: Some of these songs aren’t songs I’d normally listen to.

  • MIXTAPE 2010-DJ Sid Vicious (Perfect mix to workout to, especially during cardio. Even has hiphop in the middle of the mix. You can dl it here.)
  • Shred Mix Volume 1-DJ Lady Sha (My girls at Mahfia teamed up with DJ Lady Sha for this mix. Definitely something I’ll be using when I’m snowboarding, but until then I like working out to it. Dl it here)
  • Till The World Ends-Britney Spears
  • Stereo Love-Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina
  • Tonight-Enrique Iglesias ft. Ludacris
  • Blow-Ke$ha
  • Give Me Everything-Ne-yo ft. Pitbull
  • Dynamite-Taio Cruz

  • DJ Got Us Falling in Love Again-Usher ft. Pitbull
  • Back Seat-New Boyz ft. the Cataracs & Dev

  • Tempted to Touch-Rupee
  • Nuttin No Go So-Notch
  • Heads High-Mr. Vegas
  • Dat Sexy Body-Sasha ft. Sean Paul

I know sometimes the songs change depending on your mood and what’s going on in your life, but what songs do you listen to when you work out?

Really?

Am I the only one that thinks these lyrics are fucked up? Lol The chorus at least? It’s like when you’re at the club and they turn on the lights…”lights are on, everyone’s ugly!”.  I seriously started laughing when I heard this in the car last night. Not saying the beat is whack or anything. It’s kind of catchy…but really? It’s like basically saying you want to put a paper bag over a girls head. Lol Even one of my boy’s asked what girl would like this song. And I’m sorry Chris Brown…you ain’t Sisqo with that hairdo.

Photos: Trina & Justin’s Wedding

Posted in prints by krisyee on July 18, 2011

I spent last weekend in Fremont for my friend Trina’s wedding. I’ve known Trina for almost my whole life and it’s nice to know that we’re still good friends until this day. She’s one of those friends that I may not see all the time, but when we see each other it’s as though time hasn’t passed and I can talk to her about anything. I swear it was just yesterday we were kids.

Since it was an outdoor wedding I decided to bring out my film SLR and shoot in black & white. I’m hoping to get back into film and start developing my own photos, but we’ll see how much time I have for it. I used three rolls, two black & white and one color. If you take a lot of photos you know that you can shoot 100 shots and only come out with a handfull of good ones. I know some are a little blurry, but these are my favorites…

 

Washed Out.
