Inkka Shoes - Lima, Peru

Happy Monday ladies and gentlemen,

I hope you are all doing well! :) I have been wanting to share a pair of sneakers that I discovered in NYC. I was out shopping with a friend, when we stumbled across Inkka sneakers. In my opinion, they were super cute, unique, and very trendy.

Although I'm not a HUGE sneaker person, I will purchase a pair every now and then. I believe my attraction to these sneakers comes from traveling to Peru and Africa, which had many items with a similar pattern as these sneakers. However, the store did not have women shoes in my size with the same color as the male shoes, so I didn't purchase any this time. My friend did purchase some INKKA sneakers, and I was super jello! JK. I thought they were fabulous!!! If only they had that sneaker in stock for females, I would have totally purchased that pair as well.



Here are some samples of Inkka shoes:
I know they look loud in these pictures, but in person they are really adorable. Besides, tribal wear is totally in right now. ;) I love these high tops! When I got back to South Carolina, I decided to do more research on the shoes. 

They were post worthy, and I wanted to see where anyone could purchase these shoes. That's when I found out they were for a very beautiful cause: http://eu.inkkas.com/pages/our-story, and they were made in Lima, Peru!!! (Hey, I've been there!) Not only do they provide work for the local community, they contribute philanthropically to the Amazon Basin. 

Recently, they decided to launch the « One Shoe One Tree » project ; a partnership with Trees for The Future that engage the company to plant one tree for every pair of shoes that they sell.  (It's amazing to see someone cares about God's beautiful creation...our world.)



Of course, when I searched for people who had paired these up with an outfit I found that not very many people can rock this look, but it's worth a try if you're very experimental & trendy with your fashion. For my gentlemen, see below:










 Feel free to visit their website http://www.inkkas.com/! They really are just so adorable, and I would imagine very comfortable. Who says your feet have to suffer ALL the time for Fashion?

Have a blessed day! <3
Love,
D

P.S. Like Inkka...Stand for what you believe is right, even if you're the ONLY one standing!

    1. Hi Pia! :) We have contacted the company to see if there were any Inkkas sold locally. Unfortunately, they do not sell the shoes in Peru. They let us know that they only produce them in Lima, Peru, but they did not tell us the location. Sorry! Maybe you could purchase from their online store? www.inkka.com.

Thanksgiving: CHECK ...now, Christmas!

Hello my dear readers, I'm so sorry I've been so ghost on all of you! Huge thanks to D2 for keeping you guys updated. :D I have been crazy trying to travel for Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping for a family that my job adopted, and trying to continue planning my upcoming trip to NY...last but not least work. :/ hehehe. At any rate, I know everyone is getting ready to spend quality time with their families over the holidays as well as giving wonderful gifts from the heart. I'm more of a giver than a receiver. I love to think my heart was constructed under the blue print of the heart of Jesus...always giving out of love. I am not saying Christmas should be about gifts, but it's always nice when I can make someone else smile. Definitely take this time to appreciate your loved ones and spend the time that you've missed with them throughout the year. ...AND if you have some EXTRA time on your hands, feel free to reach out to those in real need. We are too blessed ...

Fast Forward to July 2018...

Hello ladies, Has it really been two years since I've blogged??? I really dropped the ball this time. In my defense, I was off social media for one of those years. You know... the whole "social-media cleanse." Which by the way would have been a total success if I hadn't become a youth leader and needed to promote events. LOL. All for the greater good tho. Wow, I don't even know where to start, so I'll start with I'M SORRY and I've missed blogging! So much has happened since my move to the Sunshine State. Here's a quick overview: 1. I was jobless for two months. 2. By God's grace, I landed a job in Flood Insurance. 3. Found a church home, became a member, and a youth leader and Sunday School teacher(obviously not right away) 5. Found the greatest and most loving church family...I wouldn't replace them for the world 4. Quit my job in Flood Insurance (long story), and started working at an Elementary School as an ESOL Paraprofess...

"Curly" Straws beautify! :)

Happy Thursday loves, I'm really exhausted today, but I thought one thing would cheer me up...BLOGGING! :) So thanks to the fabulous Divas in my life who research just as much as I do about fashion, here is another trick for your hair. Curls! These are really tight curls, but there are many other tutorials to show you how to loosen them. You will need the following items to accomplish this look: STRAWS, Bobby pins ,  & maybe some hairspray. Yes, you read correctly...Straws! (^.^) No curling iron, no flat iron, no heat...all natural. hehehehe. My older sister actually used this trick on her daughters hair, which is long a beautiful, and it was adorable! Cheap way to make curls...I think it's a WINNER! They really do come out beautiful. Personally, I haven't tried it yet...probably because I'll need a WHOLE BUNCH of straws for my hair, but I think it's worth trying. I'll let you know how mine turn out & feel free to let us know your results ...
