I had the afternoon off today and there is not much to do in Goulburn. I mean nothing to do! So I found myself a bench in a park and have finally started reading "50 Shades of Grey" (how cliche). I am back in my sport luxe phase and still totally in love with my "Nike Free Runs". I am so happy that "sneakers" are in fashion this season. You are able to wear them to exercise and for every day wear. Win! They are definitely worth every cent, I wear them daily. They are the most comfortable shoes I own. Only problem I have now is that I want a pair in every colour!
