I got the opportunity recently to check out GEOX'S Fall collection and got to pick up a pair too! There were so many beautiful choices! I wanted something that would be causal yet dressy. It must be comfy and of course, looks great! I went with the Nebula trainers - the blue sole got me : )

The Nebula trainers is not only eye catching - check out all the great features & benefits, which I had no idea before. It is Geox iconic shoe that concentrates maximum performance in the design. The brown coloured upper is in a very soft waterproof suede fabric, offering a personalized fit thanks to the elastic front strips with provide maximum flexibility and cushioning. The blue sole with Net Breathing System which guarantees excellent breathability and stability.

Resulting from the fusion of a modern design with maximum comfort, Nebula represents the peak of GEOX technology.  Designed for travelling the world, perfect for any season, they naturally adapt to every movement of the foot.

The combination of the Net Breathing System and Inner Breathing System equips the shoe with 360 degrees breathability, also thanks to the special lining that supports temperature regulation of the foot. Maximum flexibility, stability, comfort and grip are all guaranteed by the 3D Performance Unit.

My First ECCO Shoes

I own many pairs of shoes (which you can see some by searching #dchiushoes on instagram) I recently received my very first pair of ECCO and they definitely made my feet happy!

Happy feet!

ECCO apply the utmost attention to detail. ECCO builds its success on uncompromising quality, innovative technology and design. Throughout its history, ECCO philosophy has been to make shoes that are shaped to fit the foot, not the other way around. This is who ECCO are.

The pair I picked were the ECCO Kinhin Mid in the white (also available in black). It combines simple modern design with exceptional materials. I like the sporty yet smart look of them - perfect for work or play. The luxurious, soft leather uppers are set on tonal soles with an on-trend thicker profile, making them very sleek. They're also very light & super comfy!

Some other great facts includes partly leather-lined interior = very soft against skin and wicks away moisture. The leather covered cork inlay sole naturally cushions each step and allows feet to breathe.

Beautiful and clean silhouette.

Introducing individual footshape memory, this very cool technology - the Corksphere Suspended Footbed can be found in these ECCO Kinhin. The dynamic comfort platform features a unique self-customizing cork footbed suspended within a modern polyurethane cupsole - adding contemporary rebound, cushioning and protection to the performance and feel of conventional cork-soled shoes.

The uppers of the sole are crafted from premium leather, combining a soft and supple footwrap with a premium, natureal look and feel.

Need I say more? These ECCO Kinhin Mid are pretty cool! They make my feet and myself very happy! : ) I'll definitely be adding more ECCO to my shoes collection.

Hawthorne Food & Drink - #DoGood

From my instagram postings, you guys know how much I love to eat. I recently checked out this restaurant called Hawthorne Food & Drink and I really enjoyed it.

Plus, they provides free training and career development for people in need of skills and employment.

The Amazing Spider-man

 

One of the summer blockbusters will be coming up in a couple more days. I got a chance to check it a few days early : )

The Amazing Spider-man wasn’t  ‘A-mazing’, I thought it was ‘alright’.

Maybe because I was a little overly excited: felt lucky winning passes to the advance screening, and plus it was on IMAX 3D!! So, I kind of expected a lot.

Don’t get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Spider-man and would recommend it. It was indeed, an entertaining film. I had a great time!

I liked the story, showing a more of a back-story with Peter Parker learning the secret behind his parents’ deaths. I enjoyed Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-man, (probably more than Tobey Maguire) I felt he did a great job and was believable playing a younger Peter.  I also really liked Emma stone! They both had great chemistry on screen. The new villain was cool. And all that web-swinging action (in 3D) was amazing.

NOTE: don’t bother staying to the very end of the credits, there’s no extra scene. However, do stay for a bit after when the film finishes. Looking forward to the sequel : )

The Amazing Spider-man definitely worth checking out. Watching the film in IMAX 3D was very nice, but I think 2D would be just as good. Comic fan or not – you’ll have a swinging good time. Opens July 3^rd.

Check out some of the film posters – love them all!
