PINK, LIKE THE PANTHER

It's ironic how we always are in a hurry to grow up but just wished that we were younger when we have. Nevertheless, the best thing about the "journey" is finding people who have the same interests, finding people who laugh when you do and always seem to have a hanky ready when you cry. The best thing about the journey is the journey itself. Because it's when you find yourself, find the people who grow with you and find the people who stay.

Now, my 11-year relationship are these two girls right here. 

We've been basketball teammates, business partners and friends for more than a decade.

I'm glad i had the time to hang out with them despite the busiest schedules.

FASHION EVOLUTION

Your mom's high waist pants, the spice girls shoes and the big hair, these are all a paradigm of FASHION EVOLUTION over the years. Fashion is "recycled" but nevertheless improved decade after decade. Notice the color blocking trend that's still hot today, a product of the 60s.The wide leg pants of the 70s and the legging tints of the 80s. A concrete verification that FASHION will forever stay and current trends will be constant rebirths of undying style.

Every closet should be versatile and every fashionista should never have the same look over and over again. This takes away the thrill of shopping for new shoes, the hassle of finding the best fit and the excitement of expressing yourself. If fashion was monotonous, it wouldn't be as big as it is now. "Different is good and good is unique"

Well, here are some my fashion choices over the years

I'M A SIZE 5, WHAT ARE YOU???

Hello Readers! My name is Medea Fatima Mercado and this is my first official blog. :) I would like to stress that this is not solely my fashion blog but rather a mix of what i find interesting - that is of course big, though not the entirety is FASHION. INMYSHoes envisions to highlight every special individual because different is unique and unique is good. This is a showcase of many fierce and magnificent talents that deserve and ought to be celebrated.

NOW, what is FASHION???? FASHION is.... There are many adjectives most people throw about the subject but for me fashion signifies the silhouettes that grace a women's skin. It always represents beauty and strength. I love the texture of tutu chiffon skirts with sequined tops, the studded structured blazers with intricate details, the elegant but alluring cocktail dresses; the contrast of romance and rock. This is the reason I take inspiration from Valentino Garavani and Marc Jacobs. The combination of both designers suggest a feel of femininity with power, the suggestion of "I am a WOMAN and I am PROUD."
