I’m Obsessed With My Skechers, & I Want The World To Know

The time has come for me to write my very first love letter (TATBILB style, natch) and of course, I’m writing it to shoes. To all the sneakers I’ve loved before: Sorry, buy y’all have nothing on my Skechers.

If you’re one of those people who only associates Skechers with the light-up, velcro-closure styles of your youth or the Shape-Ups in the back of your mom’s closet, I’m going to need you to put all prior opinions aside. My Skechers D’Lites 3.0s are my most complimented footwear—cue the Kanye voice—of all time, and I’m bringing you this Skechers D’Lites and Energy review to call your attention to a variety of cute kicks you might’ve never before considered shopping. My collection started with one animal-printed pair, and I’ve now amassed a whopping five pairs of Skechers, with hundreds of wear and absolutely zero regrets.

It all started when Skechers dropped a pair of now-sold-out cow-printed kicks exclusively for Urban Outfitters back in 2019. I snatched them up immediately thinking they’d be the perfect off-duty kicks, to be worn on weekends spent running errands. As a ~fashion editor in New York City~, I’m constantly running around in itty-bitty heels or sky-high boots—I’ve always seen sneakers as a practical last resort, never a style opportunity. That said, celebs like Hailey Bieber have made athleisure one of fashion’s biggest trends, and after five (5!) strangers complimented my Skechers when paired with my workout gear, I decided to start pairing them with some kick-flare jeans for work. Then, I paired them with a black body con midi-dress for happy hour. Pretty soon, I couldn’t get dressed without working my Skechers into the mix. It was at this point I realized I’d become a Skechers stan without even noticing.

A moment of silence for my OG faves, which are now sold out. I wear them with caution now, since I know I can’t repurchase, but I’m happy to announce that there are a ton of other on-trend styles on the Skechers site right now, so hope is not lost. In search of the perfect chunky white dad trainers and determined not to buy the same Filas as every other girl in my friend group, I took a chance on the Energy Sneakers and was more than pleasantly surprised. Not only are these the perfect basic white sneakers, but the chunky sole isn’t just for style! It’s comfy AF! I wear these running around on weekends, but also paired with my favorite jeans and statement coats for casual transitional-weather looks. Obsessed.

Eager to find a little pop of color for spring and summer, I also snagged the Over Joy Energy Sneakers, which boast a bold orange wave along the uppers. Another hit! While I find my all-white Energy kicks are great to dress up or down, my Over Joy pair are ideal for giving a look a more athletic, street style flair. At first, I worried the neon hue would be hard to style, but I’ve found it really fun to contrast the bright color with simpler pieces.

Last but not least, I had to get another pair of D’Lites, as they’re the style that first ignited this passionate footwear love affair. While my cow-printed pair are statement-making, and my Energy picks are great for styling, I wanted a more classic, low-key pair of sneakers exclusively for workouts and errands. Personally, I find the D’Lites to be the most comfortable Skechers of all, no doubt thanks to the cushy Air Cooled Memory Foam insoles, so I got the Biggest Fan D’Lites in a neutral black-and-white design. These are my new throw-on-with-leggings go-tos, so I can keep my cow-printed OGs lasting longer and my two white Energy pairs crisp and clean.

If you’ve been sleeping on Skechers, consider this your wake-up call. The athleisure trend isn’t going anywhere, and pairing your best looks with sneakers is all the rage in terms of both comfort and style this season. TBH, I’d be lying if I told you I won’t be adding a few new pairs of Skechers to my collection over the next few months. I can’t help myself.

My Favorite Matte Sunscreens For Oily & Blemish-Prone Skin

Sunscreen is arguably the non-negotiable skincare product that pretty much every dermatologist will tell you is an absolute must . Aside from SPF’s beauty benefits (it protects your skin from the sun’s wrinkle-inducing rays and offers defense against free radical damage), you probably already know just how important it is for the purpose of preventing life-threatening forms of skin cancer as well. Unfortunately, finding a matte sunscreen for oily skin types isn’t exactly an easy feat. While I recognize that a good sunscreen is paramount when it comes to preventative skincare and my overall health, I also happen to have very oily skin that tends to react rather poorly (a.k.a. looks like an absolute oil slick) with many sunscreen formulas — both mineral and chemical. However, just like it’s important to moisturize even the oiliest of skin types, it’s equally — if not more — vital to protecting shine-prone skin with SPF, regardless of what season it happens to be. On that note, yes, ...

The Best From-Behind Sex Positions For Bottomless Pleasure

Image
When you think of sex positions from behind , you may scratch your head at how backward penetration could stretch far beyond classic doggy style. And, I’ll be honest, I immediately (and erroneously) had the same reaction. As an avid fan of the down-on-all-fours technique, I questioned how you could possibly switch up reach-from-behind penetration for the better. I quickly realized I was overthinking it. You see, when it comes to sex positions from behind, it’s not as much about drastic directional changes as it is all about getting deep and, in some cases, putting balance to the test. Hell, in some renditions, you can even bring in props for added pleasure . The more research I conduct on from-behind play, the more I realize I have tested many of these delightful iterations in my own life. And that’s the beauty of these backwards sex positions: They don’t require gymnast-level flexibility to accomplish O-worthy depth—at least not all of them do. And let’s not forget: The view is pret...

The Best Drugstore BB & CC Creams For Acne Prone Skin

Image
Temperatures are beginning to sky-rocket, which means if you have oily or breakout-prone skin, excess sweat and shine may just become your worst enemy in the months to come. But if you’re like me, wearing a heavy, oil-controlling foundation with a flat-matte finish feels just plain wrong during the summertime, especially if you’re spending more time outdoors and looking for a simplified beauty routine. For me, beauty should be care-free and low maintenance during summer, not a hassle. While BB and CC creams are traditionally associated with having more hydrating formulas and dewy finishes, if you’re looking to get the fuss-free blendability, fast application and skincare-enhanced benefits of one of these complexion multi-taskers without the risk of turning your face into an oil slick mid-day, switching to an oil-free BB cream for acne-prone skin is your best bet. When both temperatures our skin’s oil production reaches their peak high, pores open up more, which can lead to exacerbat...
