Photo a day - Non-athletic sneakers

Check out this young lady's footwear. I'm guessing she won't be playing basketball in these sneakers with 3-inch heels. Ah, fashion. Photo taken in the Cinque Terre in April 2010.

Photo a day - Shiny puffy

During the two years we spent in Italy, shiny puffy jackets were all the rage, especially among young people. City sidewalks were crowded with shiny parka wearers all winter long. The most popular colors were purple and black, fur trim optional. So many people wore them that they almost seemed like uniforms.
