DIY for us lazy people

Image
Do you want to turn all your sneakers into slip-ons? (This was actually my husband's idea. I think he got tired of hearing me complain about lacing them on....) Materials: Your sneakers Elastics 1) Take off your old laces. 2) Replace both with the elastics. I cut the elastics' ends diagonally to make it easier to go through the lace holes. 3) Tie the elastics. I do three knots, but before doing so, I wear the shoes to make sure they are not tied too tight or too lose. Voila!

Hot and humid

Underneath It All

I'm pretty sure that these old jeans are on their last legs. For now, I'll be wearing them with leggings/tights until they disintegrate. H&M shirt, Old Navy jeans, Converse One Star sneakers, no-name leggings  Happy Friday, my dears:) Have a great weekend.

New in...One Star

To satisfy my craving for slip-ons (see post here ), I got these from Target:D They're from the girls' collection, but they fit me, so....yeah.... Converse One Star slip-ons (I believe this line is exclusive to Target.) You know what the best part of these shoes is? I'm so lazy when it comes to tying laces. This is the answer! Anyhoo, wishing you all a great weekend, and Advanced Happy Father's Day:)

One good thing about getting a lot of rain this spring is that, at least, our lawn is looking greener than usual:D Danier jacket, Zara sweater and pants, DV by Dolce Vita booties I thought the floral pants were appropriate:) How is the weather where you are?

Some help...

I asked my middle child to take this pic:) He's 7. It's never too early to encourage a profession, right? Roots cardigan, Lacoste shirt, jeans from Urban Outfitters, Tod's Loafers  I must say...it's easier to have someone take your shot. You also get less weird looks:D Happy Tuesday, everyone!

It'll always be quiet in our neighbourhood, but every time I start taking pics in front of our house, that's when the cars and people seem to come out.

Items I've been currently enjoying: Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman makeup brushes from Walmart (cheap but amazing) Embryolisse Cream (great makeup remover; for any skin types) Weleda Rosemary Hair Oil (a once-a-week treat for my poor wretched scalp and hair) Nioxin Silk Elixir (an awesome leave-in conditioner) Funko vinyl figures (My nerdiness has no bounds!) Can you guess from what shows? Bwahaha!  All I'm missing are Khal Drogo and Jon Snow.:D Cersie is trying to get in the pic at the back! That Cersei.... What have you been loving lately?
