Allbirds Runners: Made with Merino Wool

December 21, 2016

Who needs canvas, suede, or even leather shoes when you can wear ones made out of merino wool? Soft, lightweight, and breathable, that’s what Allbirds Runners are designed to be. Straight from New Zealand, “The Land of Sheeps”, comes Allbirds Runners. Designed to keep you comfortable through every step and every movement.

Starting from an idea, to a Kickstarter, to the actual runner, Allbirds has come a long way. Its commitment to being eco-friendly and striving to always improve is what makes them successful. From being ZQ-Certified, a part of B Corporation, partnering with Soles4Souls, and using less materials in their products, Allbirds always has the environment and the people first. Everything about the shoe, from the wool upper to the foam and rubber soles, will make you appreciate the craftsmanship.

No matter what season it is, these runners are perfect for any occasion. From chilly winter nights to scorching summer days, the Italian knitted merino wool is breathable and flexible. Which means that when it’s warm it keeps your feet cool and when it’s cold it keeps them nice and toasty. They’re also moisture wicking and dirt resistant so they’re clean and built to last. To add to this, they’re so soft that they can be worn without socks - no need to worry about stinky feet either. 

Having such a simple design also makes Allbird’s Runners such an amazing shoe. There’s minimal branding and the wool upper is a solid color. Like the seasons, these runners can thrown on with any outfit. Quick errands around town or even a night out with some friends. No matter the situation or the outfit, these simple shoes can be thrown on without a second thought.

#OOTD & #KOTD material for sure.

HP Sprectre: Create Your Life

October 5, 2016

Behind every photographer is a great camera. But behind every blogger is a powerful laptop that can do it all.

It has been over a month since having the HP Spectre laptop and I cannot express how much this laptop has enhanced my daily life. I can say I am obsessed with it. Being an entrepreneur in the creative industry you will never know what kind of job you will get. Being quick and alert is the best way to get those jobs. Working for myself requires me to be on my laptop at all time if I want to keep getting jobs and keep my clients happy. That is why I always travel with my Spectre because it is so thin and I can just work from anywhere I need to be.

Travelling with the Spectre has been amazing. Most of the time I forgot that I have it with me because it is so light! I am always on the Spectre putting together mood boards for projects, pinning outfits on my Pinterest, finding inspiration, scouting locations, drafting up my next blog post, and editing photos. I can easily do it all on the Spectre. But most importantly, the Spectre has challenged me to go outside my comfort zone and be more creative. It acts as my creative outlet by giving me tools I need to do.

I hope that when you get your Spectre laptop, it will give you the creative push you hope for and help you reshape and reinvent yourself with each click.

HP Spectre: Unlocking My Creativity

August 22, 2016

Days into receiving my HP Spectre and playing around with the functions. I was blown away by how easy it makes transitioning from blogging to editing photos with just a touch. This laptop is not just known for it's beauty, but the fact that it packs quite a powerful hard drive to handle all my applications.

With its unique and striking look, the Spectre is the talk of the town as it turn heads when you pull it out at the office or coffee shop. It is extremely thin and light, which makes it easier for me to carry it around and not feel like I am carrying a brick walking places to places. Its fast performance and pleasing display helps me edit photos that I know are going to come out beautiful.

Never have I had a laptop that tested my creativity and helps me improve it. With unlimited applications and features that are in this laptop I can never lose my inspiration. Traveling with the Spectre, I turn every coffee shop into my personal office just by how I get lost into it.

Even when I thought I knew everything there is to what the Spectre can do, it always surprises me to when I am playing around with it. I recommend this laptop to all the creative spirits out there! A great investment for your back to school essentials.

Growing up I have always been a huge fan of the brand as it has made many collaborations with streetwear brands such as, Supreme and Staple. Now, they are working on their own sneaker collection that is soon to become a classic much like their Originals. They are changing the game of footwear with these futuristic designs of the sneaker.

A soft nubuck upper in classic black gives the shoe a streamlined finish and leather linings up the premium factor. An Ortholite® footbed provides cushion comfort and high-level breathability.”
