Nike Dunks: Floral Liberty Pack

Not too long ago a friend of mine bought a pair of Nike Dunks that I personally feel in love with. Maybe it was the purples or the flowers but whatever it was...it was love at first sight. It's no secret that I love Nike Dunks (for those who don't know Dunks are iconic sneakers...like legends in the sneaker biz. Originally worn by pro-basketball players and later by...everyone else). Its was said that the Nike designers were inspired by the signature fabrics at the Liberty department store during a visit in the summer of 2006. My friends' pair is to the left. And the pair on the right is something that I was thinking of getting but:
a) it's not high tops (and I prefer hi tops)
b) it's wayyy too similar to my friends' pair...I hate having something that other people have-especially someone so close. And I know she won't like me copying her kicks (LOL)

But I was browsing the internet when I stumbled upon other Floral Liberty Dunks by Nike:

(Nike Liberty Dunks in Wilshire and Pepper )

Ok, I know what what you're thinking "ummm...that's still your friend's sneaker" Well...yes...BUT my friend's was mostly gray with a patch of florals...these are purely floral (I know..I'm relentless in my quest for justifying this purchase)
But the more I look at it, the more bothersome it gets (sorta). I don't know what it is but maybe this is too much flowers for me. but the purple ones (below) don't bother me as much as the pink (above).


Now these yellow lovelies are right up my alley.

They may not be high tops but still...I'll live. I have decided that yellow will be my colour d'été. Well, yellow, purple, and pink =) Purple and pink are always my colors no matter what season. I like how all of the brights work together instead of clashing.

I may want to be the type of girl that wears high heels and blazers but sometimes there's nothing more comfortable than a pair of Dunks, tight skinny jeans, and a great graphic tee....fresh...
