Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

PF Flyers have had a recent resurgence in the last few years; becoming an essential brand for many sneaker lovers.  These sneakers are classic and can be worn with anything. Add them to your sneaker collection.

Adidas-Originals Pro Model Shoes-$78.00 (White/Black or Black/Metallic Gold)

Fellas, I love Adidas and I want you to share in my love with these classic remixes.  These shoes remind us of the classic shell toe’s that RUN-DMC made famous. They are simple and clean and sometimes simple is best.

Jordan-Flight 1- $100.00 (White/Black-Bright Concord-Grey-White) more colors is available.

I’m not the biggest fan of the Nike Brand, but there is an exception for everything and these just scream I’m a Sneaker Head! Get em’!

Creative Recreation-Cesario True Blue- $95.00

Fellas don’t be afraid to add some colors to your sneaker collection and these would be a great way to start. Creative Recreation brought the heat with these bad boys.  The sleek leather and the classic CR strap across the toe will get you the attention you seek.

Pro-Keds-Royal Plus-Hi D-Ring- $115.00 (Black/Red/White)

These classic sneakers were first introduced in the early 70’s and have a vintage swag that is undeniable.  The old school design combined with the polished black leather will go with any fit you select.

Louis Vuitton-Axel Sneaker Boot $755.00 (Black Leather Emboss)

I couldn’t complete my guide without adding a little luxury for the fellas.  What is there to say about these….they do all the talking for themselves.  It ain’t trickin’ if you got it, so go get these!

Fellas, make sure your sneakers represent your personal style and don’t be afraid to add some color. Until next time, Happy Holidays!!!!

Love, the SneakerDiva

Maryland sent over a Scentsy Warmer for me to try.  What I like most about these warmers is they use light bulbs instead of wicks which are much safer! These are the perfect alternative.  These warmers come in various shapes and sizes and make the perfect gift for a teacher, co-worker, etc.

What good is the warmer without Scentsy bars?? These scented bars break-apart into sections to be placed in the warmer…  With over 40 different scents you are bound to find something that tickles your fancy.

My favorite scent right now is Clean Breeze!!

My consultant also sent over some Scentsy Circles…

I put one of these in my car and the scent lasted for weeks, it’s not dull like other ones and lasts for a long time. Scentsy is my new favorite place for all things that smell good, in addition to the items I told you about they also carry plug-ins, solid perfumes and more. With reasonable prices and a huge variety you can get the bulk of your shopping done with them.

For more information on Scentsy contact my consultant Maryland Holly http://www.web.marylandholly.scentsy.us or call her at 630-615-1761

Aldo – Bibian ($70.00) - Colors: Cheetah Print w/Gold studs & Black w/Silver Studs

 I really love what Aldo is doing with their sneakers these days and The Biabian leads the pack.  The cheetah print and studded toe cap and heel is a statement piece. It lets the world know that I’m Fly & Sexy without effort.

Adidas – Originals Attitude Sleek Shoe ($75.00) – Colors: Red/White/Gray/Blue

I know you didn’t think I could complete this guide without including a pair from my favorite brand.  I can appreciate these shoes because they scream 80’s. The patent leather combined with the fun color combination makes these sneakers something serious!

Converse – All-Star Premium Sequins ($100.00) – Colors: Gold/Multi-color & Nightshade Purple

These are the showstoppers and would look great paired with a nice short skirt and blazer.  You can be part of The Taylor Gang (Wiz Khalifa’s crew) and still look sexy.

DC – Women’s Admiral Shoes – ($100.00) – Colors: Black/Fluorescent Purple & Metallic Silver/Flour Orange

These sneakers are Nasty like Nas! They represent everything I think a sneaker should be……Fly & Flashy!

Christian Louboutin – Louis Women’s Flat Spikes – ($925.00) – Colors: Mandarin Red &Taupe

**Somebody que the music** These Louboutins are pretty like Halle and edgy at the same time.  Every girl deserves a pair of Louboutins and these are my pick. So if you got some extra money to spend, why not buy these beauties!

So there you have it, Sneaker Diva’s top 5 sneaks for this holiday season! Whether it’s Adidas, Converse, or Louboutin; make sure your Sneakers make a statement and represent your personal style.
