The aftermath!

After our trip to Swindon, I got home so pleased with my purchases, but instantly started surfing the web for trainers again (I know obsessed right!) I just can’t help myself at times. But I’m glad I did look what i came across this ultimate bargain: After our trip to Swindon, I got home so pleased with my purchases, but instantly started surfing the web for trainers again (I know obsessed right!)

Aqua delights

As everyone probably knows by now one of my favourite things to do on the odd day off I get is to look at trainers, I have also found this in penny that also helps run they found me! Our friendship has been formed mainly on trainer perving. So on one of our joint days off we took a trip to Swindon designer outlet shopping mall. Mainly (only) for the Nike and Footlocker outlets to see what we could find.

We thought we would only be there for 2 hours, we were there all day! I advise anyone to go there as I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Here’s what I picked up on that day…

Nike air trainer esc:

Loving the aqua outer sole, it really makes the shoe pop against the all black leather upper, easy to keep clean and great for any occasion. 

Penny picked up some sweet structures

And here’s some of the stuff we wanted but wasn’t in our size (for the big footed crew)

And our choice of kicks for the day were:

3 is the magic number.

I have been waiting to post about these for the past week! I didn’t want to get ahead of myself and they arrive and are not as good as I thought they were, BUT THEY ARE!!!!

You can now understand my pure excitement! 3 pairs of air trainer Huaraches. Get ready I’m about to tell you how they found me.

Last Monday I was having a trainer day where I spend all day just looking at trainers, be it reading blogs, searching for new releases checking online stores (sometimes the ones you don’t think about have the best gems, post to follow.) and mainly searching eBay one of my favourite past times even if they aren’t my size. When I came across these all 3 pairs in the same auction well that was enough for me I was already all over them, read the details seemed legit looked at the price….starting bid £10 I think it was buy it now £15 so it doesn’t take a lot to work out what happened next buy it now.paypal.mine!

There had to be a catch, someone couldn’t possibly be selling these delicious beings for £18 including p&p were they box less, falling apart or would I just be getting one pair. Had I set my hopes to high? After a week of sheer anticipation they finally arrived today!

So happy to finally put this post up I think it’s one I’ve been the most excited about.

Fresh from 93!

These quite literally found me whilst walking around Portobello market one sunny Friday afternoon. As I was not really looking for anything in particular, I had just got back from Paris with loads of clothes and a pair of new kicks in tow. I was just weaving in and out of the stalls enjoying my surroundings when I turned one corner and there they were!

I couldn't believe my eyes, sitting on their original box!! It was all a blur from there on I knew I had to have them!

The situation was, the guy selling them either new what he had sitting there and selling them for £££’s or was completely oblivious. So I asked the dreaded question ‘how much are they?’ he replied with £60 although that was a good deal I’m a student and can’t make any rash decisions so I walked on thinking about them for the next 10 minutes in a daze. 

I went back to try them on, they were perfect! Now I defo couldn’t leave them after a chat with the stall owner he let me have them for £50 the deal was done! I am still buzzing to this day.

 So I guess the moral of the story is: These things do just find you.

Gem Gem appeal

This is not so much of a they found me moment more of an appeal for our Gem Gem (Gemma) and her poor air max lights that were the current love of her life and just over a month old trainers.

To say Gemma isn’t the biggest sneaker head is an understatement but she does like to keep her sneaks clean, we all do right?

2 weeks ago this happened…

After ‘losing her key’ or so she thought, late one Saturday night she attempted to break into her own house. Climbing over gates and jumping on roofs to open any window she thought possible (whilst carrying her trusty clutch bag). this resulted in worn away new buck and permanent scratches on the toe box.

After all this effort and she still couldn’t get into her own house, as her last resort and last £1.50 she phoned me saying she was outside my flat! After a shower, some fresh clothes and a brew she was back to our Gem Gem again her poor max lights in the corner out of sight.

I have thought about starting an appeal to get Gemma some new kicks, as you can tell from the picture she needs some!

MINT!

After going on many trainer journeys’ over the past few weeks, I’m back! First hitting you with straight up summer vibes! Coming all the way from my recent trip to Paris! Jordan’s were everywhere so I wanted to come back with something a little different that I knew I would have trouble finding in the U.K.

The Nike Pre Montreal Racer

In the delightful calypso/white/fresh mint colour way. With the all suede front they are hard to wear at the moment with the sporadic English weather, but once the sun’s out these will be the perfect summer shoe, sipping mojitos and basking in the glorious sunshine.

Purchased from Espace Killiwatch an unreal treasure trove of goodies. Definitely a must if you’re heading to Paris! I have seen these on a few well known English websites, but not below a 6 sadly enough.
