Kris's Closet

In this blog post you will get a glimpse of pieces in my closet, learn where I found them and where I wore them. My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

  Saturday my Queen City sister trip continued with a late morning rise to check out the Newport Aquarium. My sister and I looked at all the exhibits and finished the experience with the Penguin Encounter. We got to spend 20 minutes in a small room with a group of the cutest penguins. They were just like children, fighting for the attention of their handler/mommy and pulling people's shoe strings. Then we walked around the Newport on the Levee and took advantage of the food they were offering as part of the Taste of the Levee. This is an annual event where all of the restaurants at Newport on the Levee offer sample sizes of the items from their menus at a low cost of $3 and under and patrons are encouraged to fill out a form to vote for their favorite taste. The next stop was about more food. We tasted our way through the Findlay Market with Cincinnati Food Tours. Foodie friends, look for more information about the food tour on my adventure blog. You can easily access that blog through the Kris's World tab on the ChristinaKristin blog menu. We got back to the house where we were staying in time for me to catch the end of the Ohio State game. O.H! Go Buckeyes!We capped off the night with a little bar hopping in the Over the Rhine area. We checked out The Famous Neons Unplugged and a couple other places. This was my very comfortable Saturday look!

Yesterday was the first day out with my nephew since his summer break began. We started our summer adventures with a tour of the American Whistle Corporation's Factory. There we walked through the entire process of creating a whistle and learned about the history of the company. My nephew snapped a few photos of me in front of the factory before the tour. This was what I wore.

I wanted to be comfortable so I put on my summer uniform, a tee and skirt. I also wore a pair of sneaker wedges because we had a lot of walking to do. As you can see, I am briefly wearing my hair straight.

Kris's Closet

In this blog post you will get a glimpse of pieces in my closet,learn where I found them

 and where I wore them.  

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Sunday the 22nd, I was in Lynchburg, Virginia. I'd been there helping my guy out with a job since Wednesday and we were finally able to check out the city. The historic city is full of sites where historical figures from the Civil War lived and fought. We got to check out the Lynchburg Museum, the Monument Terrace/ Confederate Monument,and the Renaissance Pierce Street driving tour which included some famous African Americans such as poet/civil war activist Anne Spencer. I walked through her garden and was attacked by mosquitoes before I could completely cover it. LOL. I took these photos at the Monument Terrace. Check out what I wore!

It's no longer summer and the days have been a little chillier. When fall arrives, it's definitely time to start layering. Looking at this outfit it looks like I am wearing a sweatshirt and skirt but it is actually a sweatshirt over the polka-dot dress I wore on my Put in Bay trip post in August. I added the lace peter-pan collar necklace to the over-sized sweatshirt to kind of dress it up. I love mixing masculine with feminine! I threw on my Adidas sneaker wedges to be cute but comfortable while I trekked around Lynchburg including the 139 steps of the Monument Terrace.

Dress: Merona dress from Target(similar dress)
Sweatshirt: ElevenParis 'Talere' Print Sweatshirt from Nordstrom
Collar:Forever 21(similar collar)
Purse:Gucci (old) The fox tail I picked up from a vendor at the Mohican Pow Wow in Loudonville, Ohio
Shoes: Adidas 'Basket Profi'Hidden Wedge Sneaker from Nordstrom
Sunglasses: Emporio Armani

Style Crush (Chris)

This week's style crush is a spotlight on a trend that is moving into the Spring. "Wedge Sneakers", I first noticed their reappearance while watching, I hate to admit, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. One of the stars Mimi, was rocking them, and they looked cute.

But, I remember wearing wedge sneakers in middle and high school, now I'm telling my age. But I loved them then, and I would wear them again, if I could find the right ones. Just think how comfortable it would be to wear a shoe that is a mix between a wedge and a sneaker, that's the best of both worlds.

In all of the fashion magazines and fashion websites editor's have chosen their "Top 10 Wedge Sneakers." Of course, they are featuring all of the designer brands such as Giuseppe Zanotti and Marc Jacobs. While those are super, super cute, not everyone can afford $850 for a pair of shoes. But a girl can dream,right? 
Here is my wishlist of sneaker wedges!

Enjoy!
