Sneak Peak At The Newest BBC Tees Being Pushed!




Still writing along strong here and attempting to kick off my blog with a bang, I have been able to snag a few snapshots of what is going to be new on the release pedestal from Billionaire Boys Club!

The exclusive shots that I was able to obtain are of a new black crew neck sweater, a long sleeved and striped polo, a striped zip-up, and a couple new tees which showing off some new artwork!

Be sure to take a look and see if you can find them around within the next few weeks in stores near you!!!

Keep x Patta Shaheen!!! Vancouver Exclusive!!!



A California shoe brand Keep, has made a collaboration with an Amsterdam sneaker boutique by the name of Patta to come out with their own version of Keep's Shaheen model! Patta has worked on a bold creation of black and brown synthetic leather suede for the mid top of the shoe, with beige laces and orange coloured eyelets. Of course this wouldn't be complete without the coveted Patta logo on the tongue of the shoe for all to see.

Be prepared to shock and amaze with the new style, which is available for men and women's sizes exclusively in Vancouver!

That adds a bit to the rarity factor eh ;)?

Shoes To Go With An Outfit, Or The Shoes ARE The Outfit?





In-fashion trendy shoes or sensible shoes?


We usually buy our shoes to match our clothes, but sometimes we make an impulse buy of a pair of high heeled stilettos, and then go trudging round the shops to find a slinky dress to go with them. Or for the guys, those nice Nike Dunks you have been eyeing for so long, which don’t go well with your current jeans! Big mistake! We never quite find the other garments to go with the shoes! But if you buy a pair of shoes you can wear with jeans or skirts you've got it covered.

Should one buy expensive, branded shoes that will only last a season or two or should we go for the bargain priced shoes that will last us all year?  You'll find some online stores covering up to the minute fashion shoes.  These are usually the cheapest place to buy your shoes.  Branded fashion shoes will cost you more but will be better made and will last longer.  However, does this matter if the shoes are only going to be in fashion for a season?  The comfort may be worth it but the quality may not.  If you are one with plenty of spare cash and budget is not a problem, then the branded ones are for you, or if you can afford it the designer shoes that is the other option!

Budget fashion shoes are a great option for all of us who work for a living. Heres a hint, that’s 99% of us! Not too expensive, and we feel good because we can proudly show off our excellent fashion sense and we're not too upset when the fashion changes and we have to throw them out.  If I’ve blown a weeks' wages on a designer pair of shoes and they go out of fashion I'm crying all the way to the bank! There goes my paycheck and now I am stuck with a pair of shoes looking up at me all day and night.

Overall, It’s a much more logical idea to invest a large amount of money on a classic pair of shoes or boots than to splash out on an expensive pair of fashion shoes that will only last a few weeks.  With that said, I have the occasional pair of fashion shoes in my wardrobe that I probably wouldn't call budget!  They were an impulse buy that cost me more than I planned to spend.  As I get wiser (along with everyone else in the world of fashion), l now usually go and buy my sensible shoes online with a voucher code or when the sales are on which leaves me with extra cash to buy a more expensive pair of fashion shoes next time! Do I buy the fashion shoes even if I don't like them or they don't suit me? As sad as it is, yes I do, but life shouldn’t be all lived correcting your mistakes, after all, there are good mistakes as well! :)
