Sporty Saturday

Nike Kobe 11
I got the mint and black ones in a size 41 (I usually wear 9.5 in shoes). They came with the original Nike price tag and box (I don't know if that adds credibility to their authenticity). Whether or not they're the real thing is neither here nor there though, because they're still great shoes and I wear them 3-4 times a week to play basketball. I made the mistake of buying cheap basketball shoes the first time and regretted it (but it'll make a great article for 'Fail Friday' so stay tuned!).

Sweatpants: 
I usually wear a medium in most things, and I got a large in these and they're still on the more snug side. They're extremely soft though and I don't regret buying them.

Side note: I would check out the seller's page. They have some soft-looking cardigans and sweaters (like this mustard one). If the sweatpants are any indication of the material the seller uses, I'd guess that these are soft as well.

Nike Football/Soccer Shoes
These have a slip-on opening and so it's different than most shoes. I was looking for something to protect my ankles when playing soccer, so these work well. I usually wear a 9.5 in shoes and a 41, but I had to exchange these for a bigger size.
Price: 266 kuai + 17 kuai shipping = 279 = $43 total
Delivery time: 11 days
Free shipping: No
Colors: Marled Gray
Sizes: S-2XL
True to Size? Smaller, I had to exchange it for a 42
Success or fail: Success (after the exchange)

The ones I bought are sold out, but here is the new version of the shoes (pictured right) with good reviews (different seller).

Air Jordan Baseball Tee 
It's comfy, it's soft. That's all I have to say.

Colors: Red or White

Sports Bra
I ordered an L to be on the safe side, and it runs a little big. If I order another one, I'll probably go with a medium. This is probably one of my favorite sport bras. They're comparable to some of the Nike ones I own and I find myself grabbing this one whenever I go to workout. My favorite part is that the padding stays intact in the wash, because there are very few things more annoying than balled up bra pads #amiright. The seller has a lot of other options if you want to explore some different designs.

Delivery time: 5 days
Free shipping: Yes

Morton Salt Girl


Hey there!

So I've been rewatching Gilmore Girls and when Lorelai made a comment about the Morton Salt Girl, it convinced me to finally purchase the yellow rainboots that have been sitting in my Taobao cart. I bought a pair for a friend as well, and they came just in time because it rained today and there's nothing better to cheer you up on a muggy Monday than some bright yellow boots. I usually wear a 9.5 and went with the 10. They're a little big and I could have gone with the 9 but I think when it starts snowing, they'll be just fine with some thick socks.
