Be A KED AGAIN!

Back in the days, when I was a kid, you could find me and my sisters wearing fresh white KEDS sneakers with pretty dress socks. As we aged and reached pre-teens, KEDS fell to the waste side, as did my parents wallet, from buying other shoes such as, Filas, Dione Sanders, and Reebox. Which were considered the "cool kid" shoes. After wearing the Fila, Dione Sander high tops and Reebox, I have realized the classic style of KEDs shoes and have been reunited.

KEDS over the years have kept their original identity,which I can appreicate. Along with a little splash of color, inspiration from fashion, pop culture, art and past 1970 NBA sneakers. The wide variety of sneaker designs can fit all types of personalities. But, if you cannot find a shoe, KEDS gives you the option to customize your own sneaker. How  exciting!The sneakers, I believe are the true definition of comfort meeting fashion, with an affordable price that I am sure a lot of people could appreciate.

Check out my top picks, then visit KEDS to pick ours...

Let's be KEDS again!

The Sage Continues, First Lady Michelle Obama wears Lanvin Sneakers

First Lady, Michelle Obama does it once again, without showing any intentions of giving in, to the black & white plain Jane style that majority of First Ladies in the past have worn. Once, First Lady, Michelle O has appeared on the scene, she has committed to her personal style; style of humbleness and professionalism, yet, fresh, fun and couture. Personally, I admire First Lady Michelle for keeping it real with her style and not trying to be conservative and boring, just because she is the First Lady. First Lady is definitely an inspiration to not only me, but thousands of Queens around the world. She exemplifies what a superwoman is...

Since, Michelle Obama has became the First Lady of the United States, she has given the media a run for their money, and caused fashion designers to broaden their design creations, to fit a more fuller and curvy lady. Lanvin, one of the hottest french designer labels, where blessed to have the opportunity for First Lady to wear a pair of their suede and metallic sneakers;costing a nice buck of $540.00. On Wednesday, April 29th, Michelle was spotted with the sneakers on in Washington D.C. at a food bank.

April Showers, dll.rainwear.Flowers

Does your personal style and fashion suffer from the gloom and doom of the rain? Well, mine does!

Rainy days for me are such a fashion disaster sometimes, because the rain has a method of damping my overall style for the day. The rain can be tricky, if not, mercifuless. It can change that style intended for clear skies, into a sloggy pie. For instance, when my wet, sticky stockings are suffocating my legs, or, when my natural hair becomes lion mane, with massive frizz. It can be FRUSTRATING and ANNOYNING!

Here is my equation I use:

Rain /Thunderstorms= Tennis shoes, baseball cap, & lounge wear

But this spring season, I am really going to work on not basing my 'today I'm going to wear'...decision off the weather conditions. Surely, you can still dress cute in the rain.

DLL Rainwear proves it!

Remember: When its raining, the sun does SHINE soon after, whether outside or in life.
