I like to think of myself as open-minded when it comes to fashion trends. I may not adopt all of them, but I can at least appreciate them. But I cannot get behind the chunky/ugly sneaker thing.

I’ve never been a big fan of sneakers generally, mostly because I think they already look chunky, but now they’ve made chunky shoes even chunkier?! It’s pure madness, I tell you. I don’t even like how they look on my favorite Parisian bloggers/influencers, so that’s how I know there’s no convincing me this trend is cute.

Now, I can get behind a feminine dress/skirt and sneaker combo, but it has to be with a minimalist, low-profile shoe. Like this outfit — it would be the perfect thing to wear while conducting a ritual burning of all the big ugly trainers I can find.

Guys. I survived my 6-week shopping ban, and the 2020-21 winter. I celebrated with a little bit of shopping and a lot of frolicking in the puddles of melted snow. And wine, obvi.

We’ve had a week of sun and things are starting to look up. Even started doing some tentative travel planning which has felt like a far-off dream for so long. A huge thank you to everyone who has gotten their COVID-19 vaccine – you are helping and giving hope to the rest of us who are waiting for our turn!
