On My Mind

Spring!

For months now I’ve been banging on about why I shelved my Adidas and only wear sneakers for working out. However, long hauls around the city in Belgians or boots got old fast. So, yesterday I tried a pair of canvas sneakers by The Row, but felt like a toddler and returned them. The ballet-sneaker mashup caught my eye, and no one did them better than Mrs. Prada. The ones above are featherweight, and comfortable right out of the box — I could not be happier.

Anyone else try the TikTok hack of using primer to help perfume last longer than a minute? I did, and it works!

And, I’ve put off a bunch of home projects long enough, no time like the present.

Happy spring!

  • Tell us! What home projects? I do not love the sneakers! The soles look flat and thin. Will try the primer!

  • I love the sneakers – the black laces are so fresh and modern looking!

  • The sneakers feel a little fashion-y to me. But comfort is the point on those days spent walking cities and touring sites. My solution is still a low profile ‘sport/comfort shoe’ with a good arch, cushion sole, and laces, but nothing that calls attention to itself. Fragrance primer sounds promising, but I personally won’t add an additional step to spritzing on fragrance.
