Puma Ninja

I have a confession to make...while many girls wished they were princesses or whatever I honestly would love to be a ninja, or an Assassin. One like in Assasin's Creed. Unfortunately I can barely stand on one leg for 3 seconds before I'll just fall over and probably hurt myself because that's all I do. All day, every day.
BUT, thank the lord for clothes and fashion and black! I LOVE BLACK CLOTHES! And no. I will not wear more color so I look happier. What's that fuss about?
SO! For this look I went with a black on black Puma Stampd hoody made off thin neoprene and the all black Puma Fenty Creepers. The skinnies are by H&M and obviously ripped but oh well. Under the Hoody I'm wearing a longsleeve with split sides which goes all the way down to the knees... assassin, remember? The only part of the outfit that comes with a little bit of color, are the black and white stance socks with pasley pattern. The jacket is by HUF by the way.

I've put on hella make up and went with a defined contour. I wanted to look angry and harsh and feel like I made it. My hair is braided into messy boxer braids. Short ones, open in the back to avoid to look too much like a Kardashian although I wouldn't mind to look like Kim.
There's Nyx Liquid Suede in Vintage on my lips, in case you are wondering.

So let me know what you think aye.

90s Babies

When Tina from Lana Lankowski and I sat down together to plan a collaboration, the motto was obvious right away. We both lobe the 90's and especially 90's hip hop and r'n'b. I love the style from back in the days and the fact that I've bought a Tommy Hilfiger varsity jacket a week earlier was the perfect coincidence.
I went with an Aaliyah-Left Eye-saggy pants-and-crop top-look. I don't need to always wear tight stuff to feel sexy...actually I love to pair tomboy things with a sexy make up or a crop top to accentuate my waste.
The shoes had to obviously be just as 90's - Air Force 180 in the Olympic colorway. This is the 2012 release and has a flaw I've noticed way too late. I got over it, but definitely wear these as beaters rather than heat.
So let's go ahead with Tina. Obviously Timbs were a must and we're matching perfectly with the pilot jacket. I loved her Beastin' hoodie and the combination with the light denim jeans is right up my alley.
So nice that the other half of team Lana, Nina, gave those pic a vintage type of look. <3

So enjoy our interpretations of the 90's and thanks to the bae tina from Lana Lankowski. Check them out.

STEALin'

As a sneakerhead who's always trying to keep it in control and remind herself, that no one needs to own that many pairs of shoes I always enjoy steals for different reasons.

1. You know you haven't overpayed.
2. It's always cool to save that extra coin.
3. My guilty conciensce isn't as loud as Eminem in that song.
4. It always feels like an accomplishment when you get a steal. You know what I'm talking about....Come on...you know what I talk about 😏

So there are many ways to go with that bargain flow.

1. Clearance Hustle
Going to clearance stores can literally be a hassle. You drive out somewhere for many minutes, are ready to spend some money and then suddenly, oh snap, nothing that's worth actually spending it on. Only old, trash sneakers no one wants in sizes no one can wear. Hold on, what if that's actually your size? You are either very small or tall? Well then go to that clearance store and find a lot of dope stuff.

2. Have Patience
There's a thing about patience - I don't have any. Seriously. No. Patience. At. All. Ask any person who I've ever texted with in my life and took more than 5 to answer. Wait... Yeah, they are gone. Out of my circle. I can't with y'all. I JUST CAN'T!
I have the patience of a 3 years old at a grocery store. A cranky one. Who's standing in the candy section... Except for when it comes to shoes. I have I'm between a size 8 and 8.5 which are the sizes who are too big for women and too small for man and often go on clearance. 6 out of 10 times the store still has a last pair of something. And it's probably a size 8 or 8.5 and we all know stores want to get rid of last pairs and cut the prize on those. So patience is key. They don't want us to win. They don't want us to buy cheap kicks. Sorry... I got carried away. WE THE BEST MUSIC... Sorry... had to.

3. Be Nice
This might be underrated as heck, but be nice to the employes. If they see that you are a nice customer they will want to satisfy you and have you coming back. So treat others how you want to be treaten. Golden rule and ish... you know...dropping gems today. Grab a pen and a sheet and take notes, youngster.

Nike Air Zoom Flight 95 - 50€ insted of 140€

4. Be Loyal To a Store
This one kinda has to do with number 3. If you always go to the same store ( that doesn't go through 7 employes a week ) you might be treated differently after a few times visiting. Have a chat, say hi and come back if you like the store and you'll build an almost friendly relationship which will lead to having a plug and maybe someone informing you about heat buried somewhere. Or they'll go an find something for you. Plus you get to know new people that you actually like and are sneakerheads as well.  WIN!
