Senso-ble Heels

You may or may not be familiar with the brand Senso. Established in 1980, SENSO is an Australian footwear brand originally founded by husband and wife duo, Scarlett and Kim Meller. The Meller’s three daughters, Alicia, Imogen & Skye, have since joined the family business and have added a fresh and youthful confidence.

"Senso stays true to its vision of bringing you shoes with a point-of-view, an edge, a touch of fun and a distinguished sense of effortless style."

So today I bring to you the Riley V by Senso.

Not a Gladiator...

 ...but these are cool! I've been searching for a gladiator sandal that would accommodate my non-existent calves. The reason these caught my eye are solely due to the adjustable straps! Some people have issues with their calves being to wide but I am on the other end of the spectrum. I also like that the shoes are under $100. I'm always on a budget, because at times my "coin game is weak" (thanks Francesca for the phrase). Not usually a fan of Steve Madden shoes because his shoes usually hurt my feet. However, I am willing to try these out.
Brand: Steve Madden

Tattoo Placement of the Day: Calves!

Back of the calf. Thoughts?

Kaytranada

I wish I was I was an employee at SoundCloud. My specific job would be to listen to the various artists registered on the site and choose my favorites for my friends and I to ride around the city and blast in my car. I want someone to pay me for this...wishful thinking? 

While perusing through artists on SoundCloud I came across the producer Kaytranada, formally known as Kaytradamus. I didn't realize that I'd heard his music before. He produced a track called 'Sober Thoughts' by GoldLink that I play constantly and he has created a plethora of dope remixes to some of my favorite songs. His latest release with Vic Mensa is what really caught my attention.
Haitian born and Canadian raised, I think I've found a gem. He's got tons of followers already, but he definitely deserves more. Check out his page here.

Open Toe Booties

I've actually never been a fan of open toe booties. Honestly, because I didn't understand the concept of the open toe bootie. Can I wear these in the winter since it's a pair of booties? Are these an alternative to sandals in the spring? Will my feet sweat if I wear these in the summer? So many questions that could be deemed as nonsensical to some, but are questions that I always needed answer to, but I digress.
I like these...a lot. I'm working on expanding my color pallet as well, so I'm starting with taupe (baby steps). Don't fret...these also come in my favorite color, black, as well. I actually really like both options but I'm on a budget and can't afford to spend approximately $400 on shoes.
What do you all think about these? Are my aforementioned questions valid or am I just being silly?

K Roosevelt: Journey EP

My partner put me on...
He's way cooler than I am and always ahead of the crowd. I guess he assumed that I'd heard of this guy, but I hadn't. This guy...his name is K.Roosevelt and he's one of the producers that make up Hit-Boy's HS87. A follow up to his EP, Rosegold in 2013, this latest project is also an EP, Journey, and is available to download. It displays K. Roosevelt's vocal talents and his production choice. I think K.Roosevelt will soon be the new "go-to" guy for the hook on everyone's rap song this year. 

Just in case your wondering...my favorite song on the EP is called "Cold".
