In preparing to go back to my hometown– East Orange,New Jersey, on Saturday to see my family that I haven’t seen in a while, nostalgia overwhelms me and inspired this post! I can’t wait to be thrown in the hustle and bustle, go shopping in Newark, learn the latest slang, and buy the latest kicks! I heard V.I.M has a sale. I’m addicted to retail!

Mmmm … fresh seafood and perhaps go to the Jersey shore! It’s definitely what I call a good time.  Watching the Giants at the Meadowlands would be a treat, no matter what you think of the team!!

A vacation back is so overdue.

So, today, I purchased some pricey headphones by WeSC and think the world of them. They are of the Oboe line. They’re my precious new toy for workouts. Yes!!! Here they are with a set of heels and boots to remind me of the 80s, decade which I was born, and Jersey!

You gotta see all the styles in person. They’re amazing! Mine are like the pair below except their all accented in gold. Look it up for yourself. If you love music; believe me, these are stylish speakers that sit comfortably on your ear.

Flats taking me back!

Could you rock these flats with stirrups or leggings?! Or even a pair of boyfriend jeans would look nice for that glam-slouch look! I know someone is risky enough to put these with some fishnets and a really short, fringe skirt for a really retro look. I kind of like that idea! These are definitely flats with which you can do almost anything, matching it with your personal vibe.

The girlie 80s babe boot!

It’s colorful and suede. I’m wearing them with leggings and an oversized graphic shirt on a day for errands! It’ll be nice with all all black or pink straight leg jeans or skinnies! I feel like running the streets … with a quarter water. Those are little kool-aid juices, by the way!

Are you seldom reminded of home? What’s home to you? What reminds you of the time when you were born or raised, a time when things might have seem simpler? I encourage you, on this day, to embrace those sweet, familiar memories!

So I shared the joy of conversing with a close friend–Briscoe–about his love for sneakers. He’s a “Sneakerhead,” Ladies and Gents! He’s so obsessed with all the latest and what he deems exclusive Must-Haves for all Sneakerheads everywhere! Here are two pairs of “kicks” that are at the top of his list.

Cool Grey Jordan XI

Why They Are HOT- Only released one time in 2001. And they sold out in one hour in the US.

Nike Air Yeezy

Why They Are HOT- This is the Nike and Kanye collaboration. They were sold at $250.00, exclusively at boutiques. They come in three different color schemes. These shoes are unique because of the Nike-musician collaboration.

Want to Know What’s the Next Big Thing ?

“BIG TALK”- Some Sneakerheads determine the value of a shoe before it is released on Nike Talk Discussions. If there’s a lot of talk about a single pair of shoes, “you can expect that they’ll be in high demand, high priced with limited supply,” says Briscoe.

Happy Thursday, M’Lovelies!

Why do you wear high heels?

Is it because you want to be taller? Is it because of the way they make your legs look? Or is it because they make you feel sexier?

Why don’t you wear high heels? Are flats just more comfortable? Or have you read far too many horror stories on why heels are bad for your health?

There have been countless studies on why high heels aren’t good for your health. Everything from corns, callouses, ankle problems and even schizophrenia. But a new study suggests that high heels might just improve your sex life!

A study founded by Dr. Maria Cerruto, from Italy, says high heels up to 2inches high, worn correctly, can strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Now, I’m sure you know doing Kegels is as important for your sex life as it is for your posture and support for your pelvic organs. Wearing high heels actually has a similar effect as doing your Kegels!

The way it works: Moderately high heels place your body an optimum angle away from the floor, causing you to contract your abs in order to walk without falling on your face. This puts less stress on your knees and contracts your abs – for a straighter spine, better posture, and strong pelvic muscles.

It’s important to note that heels over 2 inches haven’t been linked to this study, but heels 2 inches and under? Better bust out your kitten heels darling – you’ll not only look sexier, you’ll actually be sexier!
