in a different light...

  As you're getting older your new experiences are outnumbered by the repeated ones... The number of your age is the same of your birthdays, your new year's eves, your summers...

  And you may not remember all of them and you may even still enjoy and everytime looking forward to re-live them... but secretely you'd love to have a different experience out of them! You may not admit it, but all those ornaments, all these window shops all that fake snow...all of these years... cannot move you.

  But that doesn't mean there's no hope -hey, this isn't a nagging post- out of the contrary... As long as your heart seeks for beauty, for one-another, for true feelings... there is hope...

  So have youselves a Merry little Christmas now!

Raf Simons & Adidas

Raf Simons and his second Adidas collection  (for spring/summer 2014)! 

Nine different sneakers, a variety of colours and materials... a combination of mesh, leather panels and silicone details. . . These very stylish and fashionable trainers manage to emulate a similar style while simultaneously being unique and special!  I really loved them . . . but  I am a bit worried cos the collection is only for men ::(  lucky u boys !
pre- orders are now available!

By the way, for those who don't know or don't remember,  Raf Simons is a Belgian  fashion designer . He started initially as a furniture designer but eventually launched his own menswear label in 1995. He then worked as a creative director at Christian Dior. He counts several collaborations with famous brands as Fred Perry, Asics,  Adidas with that limited edition footwear collection, etc.
