Sneaker Sunday! Moving Shoes :D

May 30, 2010 by

It’s Sneaker Sunday again!!

We moved all of our things into our new apartment yesterday and because I’m out shopping for furniture today I thought I would talk about the art of Sneakers and moving house!

This is my new living room window by the way… and this is the outfit I wore on my birthday to start moving things into our house ^_^

Sneaker Sunday Week 7

So everyone knows that picking shoes that are right for the occasion is very important and moving house is no different!

  • I chose to wear my sneakers to move in because the are comfortable for lots of walking and heavy lifting.
  • These are the sneakers I own with the most padding in them and it’s important to have something supporting your feet when you are going to be adding a lot of extra weight to them.
  • Because my sneakers are pink I chose an outfit which included highlights of pink throughout. The rest of the outfit is mostly monochrome so the pink stands out and pulls the outfit together making the sneakers really seem like they belong rather than being an after thought.
  • We drove down to Melbourne and everything had to be taken in our car, which meant that space was at a premium! To be able to fit as much as possible in the car I avoided wasting space by stuffing my sneakers and shoes with socks and underwear.
  • In the car we put the big boxes in first and then used small items such as the sneakers to fill in gaps! You would be surprised how many sneakers you can fit beneath the seats of your car XD

I hope my quick tips have been a little interesting and I should hopefully be back to normal posting schedules very soon. I have so many fun things planned for your guys, I just can’t wait!!

  1. I think I’m in love with your living room: that window is just… wow *.*

    I’ll be sleeping all day on sunday, so no shoes at all~ does that count like a sneaker sunday? =P

    • Oh I’ve been here a month now and I LOOOOOVE the windows! Haha that totally counts as a Sneaker Sunday ;)

  2. You have the most amazing living room!!! I know I can only see the window but it just looks amazing. You also look really cute and happy standing there framed by the window. :)

    • I was so absolutely happy that day, it’s such a good feeling starting to have everything sorted out in life! I can’t wait to share it all with you guys ^_^

    I work on Sundays, andd wear my black sketchers :) They have bits of purple on them they’re hightop and awesome, I’m meant to wear more of a dress shoe but I don’t care my sneakers are for more comfortable :)

    • Yay go sneakers! I love wearing sneakers to work, especially if you have a job where you’re on your feet all day! I think comfort is more important in times like that!

  4. hope everything is going smoothly

    Its definitely important to be comfortable when moving. I took out my trusty Diesels when we last moved house.
    Did you move to the inner burbs?? Love that window – looks like you’ll be getting plenty of light! :-D

    • Yay Esz!! We need to meet up seriously! We are living right in the city, like riiiiight in the city! Tea soon??

  6. Nice, what looks to be, polished floorboards, you’ll never have a Red Wine Mishap!

    • Haha you are so right! They are floating polished board which the last woman dented with her high heels so I don’t even have to worry about denting them because you wouldn’t be able to tell XD

  7. Roundragon

  8. cute photo and cool advice ^^

    Oh my, that room looks amaaazing!! *is intensely jealous* And you look wonderfully cute for spending the day moving things around XD I usually end up wearing jeans and an old t-shirt for days like that :-P

    • It is seriously awesome! And thank you very much! We had lots of fun trying to negotiate the lifts with all our things haha ^_^

  10. Your new apartment looks amazing! Belated happy birthday ;)

    • Thank you so much! It’s been one hell of a move but I’m so glad to be here in Melbourne!

  11. As always you excel at cuteness even during moving! Your beret is too cute!

    I was in Japan when me & the man last moved in America. His company hired packers & movers. It was so fabulous not being there. Now I never want to move again, because I know I’ll have to be there LOL

    • :D :D :D Oooooh that would be so awesome not having to pack or move anything! Moving is a real pain, this is like the 20something-th house I’ve lived in and I’m pretty over moving >_<

  12. Like I said before, I love the atmosphere that window brings! :D It’s so charming!

    Oh btw, happy birthday. :3 I was having some bad luck this weekend if you saw so I was out of wits to say so.

    • Thank you Milktan! I hope your luck has changed now <3 We're all settled in to the new place and loving the gigantic windows still!

  13. Thanks for great tips and I hope you will turn that apartment into a lovely home where you can feel comfortable.

  14. Those are lovely shoes!!
