Am I dreaming?
Pairing: Jared Padalecki x Female Reader
Warnings: Smut, Cheating
Word count: 3,576
Summary: You meet Jared at a convention but the innocent photo ops turn steamy
This is purley fiction based on the comic con Jared recently attended in England. This fiction is not meant to be harmful or offensive to Genevieve as I think she’s a sweetheart and they are a good match!  
The sunshine shinning through my bedroom curtains awoke me, yawning with a stretch of my arms above my head and a straightening of my legs a smile spread across my face. Today was the day. The day I meet Jared Padalecki, living in the uk and only being 21 meant I’ve never got to meet him before as times he’s came down before to the uk I didn’t really know about him. I have been watching supernatural since I was 14 but today is the day I finally see him and have his arms around me! Excited is definitely an understatement. Sitting myself up in bed I check my phone seeing it is just gone 7:30, with excitement I climb out of my bed and open my light purple curtains ready for what today has in store for me. My outfit for the day was already picked out, being a black thin strap dress with small cherries on it, the back also was made up of a thin strap showing most of my back to just above my ass.
Tumblr media
My shoes are a pair of black wedged sandals with stapes going around the ankles, with a small black cardigan incase I get cold. 
Tumblr media
My outfit was not exactly con appropriate due to all the standing I will have to do but I wanted to stand out from the crowd and hopefully catch his attention, I know wishful thinking. I know he has I wife and I have nothing against her, she’s beautiful and they have such cute kids but I mean can you blame a girl for trying? I have had a crush on this guy for years he’s such a stud if I get my chance hell yeah I’m taking it.
I head into my bathroom to brush my teeth and comb my hair then head straight into my kitchen for breakfast, I live in a studio apartment so my space is pretty small but still big, big enough for two even, again wishful thinking ha. I go ahead and make myself a sandwich, once finished I pop my dish in the sink that can be laters job and head straight for the shower. In the shower I make sure to come out smooth as a baby with my hair naturally curly, once out I proceed to defuse my hair and dry off then get my outfit on ready to head out. After grabbing my bag and making sure I have everything I need I go and head to the train station, the time only being 8:30 I should get there with plenty of time with entry being available for me from 9am and photo ops not being needed until 2:30pm. Away in my thoughts I was surprised when the train arrived 10 minutes before its estimated arrival, getting up off the bench I was sat on I headed towards my train and through the doors finding two seats free near a window. Sitting down I popped my headphones in ready for the long journey ahead of me and the train set off towards Wales.
After a two hour journey you arrived at the train station just past 10:30, with the train coming to a stop you gathered your things and called for a taxi, with the taxi arriving after 5 minutes you headed to the comic con. While in the taxi you checked to see if your hair was in the right place and you applied some cherry lip balm, when the taxi came to a halt I looked outside the window and was utterly shocked at how massive the queue was. The queue must of had at least 400 people in it, getting out the car I headed to the gates where one side said priority and the other general entry, unsure of what either of that meant I asked a security guy at the gate and he told me that priority meant early access meaning my ticket so I went were he told me and with a sigh of relief I passed though all of the crowd and got in first, I did feel bad for the people who had to wait but I did get a different ticket type and I’m more glad now then ever. Heading through the doors I entered into a big room where all the stalls where set up and different actors where doing autographs there was one room split into two by a stair case with overhead railing for actors to cross floors without coming into contact with too many fans. The first place I headed was directly into the first set of stalls near the Doctor Who phone box, there must have been around 12 stalls all filled with really intriguing things such as DC and Marvel merch with goody bags, there was also  crystals, dragon ordiments and dragon soaps dressed as characters, drawings and more.
There was also so many people in fancy dress it's amazing, looking around in aww I browsed all merch I liked the look of and brought a few bits while then headed straight to the cafe for a drink of hot chocolate, it was nice to have a relax while waiting for my three photo ops. Looking at my schedules I saw I had one with Samantha and Jared at 2:30 and two with jared at 2:45 luckily they was in the same room, with only a few hours to kill I had a nice drink and relax then headed to look around some more.
2:25pm
Rushing back into the building, I headed straight to the photo op room I was panicking that I was going to miss my ops, I had been late deciding to stay the night in Wales instead of rushing back home in time for a train so I booked myself a room at holiday inn which luckily was walking distance. By the time I reached the doors everyone was already in line and it looked like I was last, with a sigh I go to the end of the line for my Samantha and jared photo op, the queue was around four lines long so I decided to have a seat down on the floor like most people were doing while going on my phone to pass time. Surprisingly I wasn’t nervous I really thought I would be but I wasn’t at all, slowly the line went down and it become three lines instead of four, checking the time I could tell it looked like they was having scheduling issues, I would have missed my jared solo op if they didn’t move it up to a later time.
Three lines become two and then one and soon enough I was standing up, as the room was clearing and the line was disappearing I slowly came round the screens and seen jared and Samantha, I instantly got butterflies but I wasn’t about to let my nerves get ahead of me and make me sit this out. Standing next in line as the last person left and they both turned to me, the manager then announcing I was the last person before the solo ops. Jared had a big smile on his beard clad face and Samatha had a small smile too, they invited me into their arms and asked me what my name was while replying it was "(y/n)" Jared smiled and said “that’s a beautiful name”, making me blush I looked away and the person behind the camera said “ready?”, while the flash went off I felt Jared’s hand slowly make its way down my back touching just above my ass.
With each touch he made me shiver, in the photo Samantha was hugging me one side and Jared was close to me with his arm around me unaware to the camera it was very close to my ass. My head was resting against his chest., the photographer announced it was done and I said “thank you” to them both, Samantha told me I was “very welcome” and she headed off. Jared’s eyes where following me I got my ticket for the print out and walked round the screens, he followed me and said “I really liked that photo, I hope it turns out great!” I replied blushing “me too, thank you so much it has been amazing to meet you….. I’ve always been a sam girl” a chuckle left my lips, his smile appeared bigger and he said “will I see you anymore today? Do you have an autograph or solo op with me?” I smiled sweetly and replied “actually I have two solo ops with you!” “Great! Hopefully you’ll be last again” he said with a wink as he walked off. Making me weak in the knees as I grabbed my things and headed outside again to wait for my solo ops.
Tumblr media
After a fifteen minute wait the doors opened up again, as everyone pushed into the room Jared’s words played back into my mind “Great! Hopefully you’ll be last again”…. Sighing I decided it wouldn’t kill me to wait and see if his words had meaning behind them. Sitting down in the corridor I waited half an hour to see if others went in, seeing no one else enter I picked up my things and headed in grabbing my token. Walking up I was the last at the end of two lines, waiting patiently the line was going down fast luckily as I was getting impatient.
Jared's Pov
Smiling as a new person came through the screens expecting it to be (y/n) and trying not to be disappointed when it wasn’t. As person after person came I started to lose hope that (y/n) was coming at all and decided to just forget about her, I know I’m married but there was something about her that my mind and body just couldn’t shake off. Was it the fact she was gorgeous? I don’t think so, I know she absolutely stunning but that’s not it, it was something else and no matter what I just couldn’t pin point it, and boy was that frustrating. “How many people are left?” I asked “not many jar only around five” I nodded at my manager thinking I’ll just power through these people then head back to the hotel to see Gen and hopefully get my mind off this girl. As photos are being taken and while I was trying to take my mind off of her my manager announced there wasn’t anyone else left, frowning my head falling I looked up when I heard “sorry! I was late is it still okay to have my photos taken?”.
Before my manager could answer with a massive smile I replied “of course!” A little too excited “get over here!” She smiled. God she is beautiful, she looked into my soul with every gaze, I knew now I had passed the point of no return, I had to have her, I needed her! Pulling her closer in to me as we gaze into each others eyes we posed for the camera, my eyes got lost in hers almost missing the photographers words “perfect, what pose next?” Her smile never faulted when she replied “I was thinking a dancing dip pose… that’s of course if I’m not too heavy for you” she looked away embarrassed, I was taken back “what do you mean, if you’r not to heavy?” She looked at me confused “well I am a curvy women, I’m a size 18 uk, I don’t know what that is in American but that isn’t exactly skinny.” looking at her with adoration and love I replied “darling your perfect the way you are, dress size doesn’t matter your beautiful on the outside just as you are on the inside. Please don’t ever think differently and with regards to me handling how heavy you think you are, let me show you how light you actually are” and in one big swoop I lifted her up with no effort as she let out a squeal of excitement.
Y/N Pov
He lifted me up in one big swoop as I let out a shriek of excitement “Jesus Jared, you really are strong” I said laughing, looking up at him in the cradled position he is holding me in. “Did you think I wasn’t darlin?” He asked with a joking tone, I blushed and answered “well I guess I always thought you were but I never truly knew” with a smile on my face he put me down and we posed for the last photo. After we was done I looked at him with slight disappointment on my face as his manager perked up and said “let me show you out, come on jared go take a break, you have autographs soon.” I looked at him with a disappointing smile and said “thank you for making my day, honestly I never thought i'd meet you and I’m truly glad I did….. I guess I wish it didn’t have to end.” I smiled and turned to walk away as Jared perked up and turned to his manager “hey, I’m going to walk her out, you guys take a break I’ll see you at autos” “but Jared she’s a fan! She could be dangerous. We can’t leave you alone with her.” Jared’s face turned serious “ I appreciate you guys but I can handle myself, I pay you and I say take a break. I will be fine” “are you sure?” “Yes I’m sure” Jared replied his tone going soft. His manager nodded “okay”.
After a few minutes in silence we were left alone, looking at Jared with a smile he held his hand out “want to take a look around with me?” I smiled and took his hand “definitely!”. Walking through doors I had seen earlier I said to him “can I ask you something?” He looked at me while we walk down the quiet corridor “sure, what’s up?” “Why are you paying attention to me?, you’re being so sweet to me. You know you don’t have to right?” Jared paused turning to look at me with a smile “ you don’t see it do you?” “See what?” I asked with a look of confusion “here, let me show you?” He walked closed to me arms wrapping around my curvy waist pulling me into him, my breath hitched as his lips connected with mine. One of his arms moved up to cradle my face and I paused in astonishment, he then was pulling away assuming because he thought I wasn’t into it, I kissed him  back my tongue licking the bottom of his lip asking for entrance which he obliged, our tongues in each others mouths.
Tumblr media
Getting carried away with the kiss, I felt my back hit the wall as his right hand sneaked his way into the back of my curly (y/h/c) hair, coming back to reality I gasped pulling away, grunting “I’m going to probably regret this but, are you sure you want to do this…. You are married” Jared turned to look at his wedding ring and sighed “ I know you’re right I have a wife and three kids…. But (y/n) there is something about you I just can’t shake” after a pause he continued “you mesmerise me babe. I want you so unbelievably bad, I’ve never felt this way before even with the thousands of people I’ve met, your the first to make me act like this….. I don’t even think I’ve felt this way about me wife.” Taken back I grabbed his face and kissed him hard, no one has every made you feel the way he does, you didn’t care about anyone or anything, you wanted him too. After a few minutes I needed to catch my breath and I breathed out “Jared if you don’t want to do this tell me now, if you do then lets go back to my hotel room, I want you to fuck me”.
Tumblr media
No ones Pov
After being stunned by my words he grunted, panting out “can’t wait until hotel, come on there’s a bathroom this way” he grabbed my right hand with his left dragging me to the bathroom he had seen. He guided me to a bathroom, as we both went in I observed how clean it was, he broke me from my train of thought with his lips and tongue viciously attacking my neck, moaning he pushed me up against the wall his 6ft 4 figure towering over my 5ft 2 curvy figure. His hand tapping the back of my thighs as he hoisted me up, my legs wrapping around his waist, he walked forward placing me on the counter pulling the straps to my dress down, my size E breasts being released from their confinement’s.
Tumblr media
With a moan he scooped up my breast pulling his face between them while sucking on my nipples, throwing my head back as moans are leaving my lips. His mouth biting and sucking at my breast eliciting all kind of noises for me, my hands grabbing at his belt and tugging it open. He pulled away from my breast and stepped back to undue his belt and his button, letting his jeans fall to the ground revealing his large bulge in his tight boxes, biting my lip he moved forward closer to me his hands snaking under my dress finding my purple thong, tugging it down my thick thighs it was discarded somewhere in the bathroom. Snaking his fingers between my thighs his lips found mine again as his fingers played with me, rubbing up and down my soft folds. Luckily preparing was something you did before coming, making sure to shave everywhere except your landing strip, a bit of hair never hurt anyone……I think. As the kisses got deeper I spread my thighs wide, leaning back a little so he had better access,his thumb finding my clit rubbing tight circles causing me to moan more and get wetter by the minute. After a couple minutes of playing he pulled away from the kiss to get on his knees wanting to eat me out, grabbing his shoulders I shook my head no “later, I need you inside me now!” with a slight chuckle he nodded “come her baby”. Moving closer to the edge surprising me he hoisted me up around him and lowered me onto his enlarged cock, moans explicating from my mouth like a porn star. 
Tumblr media
Completely shocked at the noises that are coming out of me, I didn’t care he felt so good, we fit just right. He walked us back towards the bathroom wall, my head thrown back moaning, he started off at a slow pace after a couple second I demanded “more baby! I need more! Harder” nodding he lowered his neck into the crook of mine sucking and kissing at all of my exposed skin as his arms rested under my thighs lifting me with his deep thrust’s, each thrust was deeper and faster, feeling so good inside me I felt that familiar feeling of being close. My moans were getting louder and they only edged him on more causing his orgasm to quickly make an appearance, grabbing the top of his shoulders I helped his thrusts by bouncing my ass against him harder. “God Jared please, I need to cum" nodding his head he said "cum with me baby” grunting and moaning “(y/n)” he came spilling inside me, feeling him pulsating his load inside my tight hole, you fell over the edge screaming into his neck shaking as the most powerful orgasm hit you. Jared feel forward resting his head against the wall and his arms still wrapped around you, he slowly thrusts until he comes to a stop, pulling out he asks me “are you okay? Do you want me to sit you down on the counter?”.
Smiling at him like I’m high I reply “I love how your being so sweet even after a heck of a ride” with a laugh he slowly walks to the counter and puts me down gently, he starts washing his hands and pulls his pants up, doing up his belt and sorting himself out. After a couple minutes of watching him I see him go into a stall and grab a hand towel “wow this bathroom really is posh isn’t it” I laughed out loud, he smiled “this is all I get now I’ve been leads in shows but before the bathrooms where terrible, don’t get me wrong I still use horrible bathrooms, I don’t really like the special treatment but I must admit the nice toilets are definitely a plus” nodding my head in acknowledgment I continue watching him as he grabbed the towel and ran it under some water. 
He comes over to me and starts cleaning the cum off of me where it had ran down my thighs out of my pussy, I look at him in aww and he says “what’s up? Has no one ever done this for you before?” “Honestly……no, is that bad?” “Yes. You should be treated like the princess you are babe” I smile at him and ask “do you regret it?” He replies looking in my eyes as he comes to a stop cleaning me “definitely not, I don’t want to scare you but I think I’m falling for you (y/n)” “really Jared?” He nods in agreement “I really must be dreaming” you whisper
To be continued?
Let me know if you guys crave more! I honestly loved writing this I had so much fun! Thinking I might turn this into a series. Where will this go from here, what will Jared do, he has a family. Will he choose her?

Hi beautiful, lovely souls!!
This Sunday on June 19th we celebrate father's day in my country, thus I decided (last minute) to write a few DadVi drabbles to post throughout the week. These are going to be set in Marley after the war.
Let the fluff swaddle you!!
t.w: fluff, hurt/comfort, angsty, Levi doubting of his parenting skills, pregnant reader.
❤️
The set of keys rattle as Levi yanks it out of his pocket and fits the blue one into the lock. It twists and clicks open.
Your heavy panting echoes down the hallway. He gazes at the staircase and your glowing puffy face comes in sight.
“A limping man beat you,” he huffs, and wedges open the door with his walking aid, casting a teasing haughty smile at you.
“You’re not the one carrying a baby Ackerman in your womb.” You scoff, rubbing a hand gently over your eight-months-pregnant belly. Your shoulders sag, one hand anchored to your waist. You suck in a deep breath, and snap a finger on Levi’s shoulder before coming in. Levi follows inside and the door thuds close behind him.
Finally, home. You and him in your cocoon, away from the crowded and lively streets. It’s Father’s Day, and restaurants, parks, and shopping malls are bursting at the seams.
A sigh whiffs off his lips.
He takes his hat off, hangs in on the coat hanger and shakes his head, running his fingers through. Then he turns around and spots you, already plopped down on the entryway cushioned bench, your purse dangling behind you from the hook on the wall.
You bend to take off your shoes, grunting, leaning over your belly to reach your feet.
“Tch. Let me do it.” He leaves his cane slanting against the bench and bends down on one knee, wincing and hissing at the stabbing wave of pain surging through his leg.
“Levi, I’ve told you, don’t push yourself.” You roll the eyes, lacing your fingers trough his hair, your fingertips felt like silk on his scalp. Ever since the moment you told him you were pregnant, he’s been so overprotective that sometimes you couldn’t breathe. Cooking, cleaning, doing groceries, plus running the tea shop. Such demand on himself was taking a toll on him.
The ankle straps slip free from the buckles and a drop of relief spread through your legs. Blood fizzes all the way to your toes. He slips your sandals off and you feel his fingers rub over the red marks where the strips of leather strangled your swollen feet.
“You know I’m pregnant, not sick.”
“That just means I have to take care of two now. Hopefully the brat won’t turn out as stubborn as their mom.” He presses a kiss on your knee and gazes up, meeting your eyes.
“Don’t call them brat.”
“What’s the point of having a brat of my own and not call them brat?”
Your flimsy caresses tickle the large scar that stretches from above his eye down to his chin. Remnants of war etched in his skin. Your thumb tugs down his bottom lip and he simpers.
“When will you tell me?” He muses and grips the rim of the bench for support to haul himself back to his feet.
“What?”
“Tch.” His eyes blank. He offers a hand; you take it, and he tugs you up. Your toes hammer the wooden floor. Levi snatches his cane and winds his left arm around you, pulling you close to him, and together, you trudge to your room.
“It was so nice from Oni, Gabi and Falco,” you mutter, tilting your head to look at him. "Taking us for lunch and celebrate Father's day."
“Yeah.” He gazes down, his lips curve into a forced smile.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I’m just tired.”
You step into your bedroom, and Levi unhooks from you, heading to his side of the bed and sits down at the edge. He looks down to the left side of his chest and snorts.
The pin of the button badge snaps and Levi pries it off his shirt. ‘Soon to be Papa Levi!’ he reads and puts it on his nightstand. It must’ve been Gabi’s idea.
You cross the room toward the window and sweep the curtains open. In the afternoon, the sun slants in the opposite direction. Cottony clouds amble sluggishly in the cerulean blue sky.
A man around his fifties walks his dog in the park across the street. Peter. He lost his wife and children three years ago, during the war. His family was crushed to death during the rumbling, and he managed to survive for two days under the rubble until the rescue squad found him.
He's a recurrent customer at the teashop and lives in the building at the end of the street.
Your eyes droop, and a compassionate smile tugs at the corners of your lips. A stinging sensation pricks in your chest, and you look over your shoulder at Levi, who is wiggling off his shirt. The scars carved in his skin. Eternal reminders.
What if…
Your teeth bore into your lower lip.
You shake the what ifs away and wipe off a pricking tear with your knuckle. You turn your head back to the window and glide up the bottom sash and lock it in place. Your hair billows in the soft breeze, caressing your face.
“Hey.”
You spin around and stride to the bed, wafting a kiss to him, a smooching sound dribbles from your puckered lips. He's wearing an old navy blue tshirt.
You fling the sheets off your side of the bed, and you slip in, curling next to him.
His folded arm is tucked beneath his head, his good eye staring blankly at the ceiling.
“I love you.” You purr and drape an arm over his chest, snuggling your cheek on his shoulder. Your knee bent over his thigh. His fingers meander languidly over your upper arm.
“I love you too.” His eye flickers to you, and then back to wooden beams.
“What’s bugging you, my cinnamon roll?” You raise a brow in concern. Levi can’t hide from you. He knows you can read him well, dig past his dull steel gray eyes and soul.
“It’s just…” he exhales and shuffles onto his side to face you. “What if the baby doesn’t like me? What if they think I’m a monster? What if I’m not a good dad?” He holds his right hand before you, waggling his remaining fingers.
So that’s what’s been nagging him.
You’ve noticed the way kids stared at him. Some would shriek and lurk behind their parents’ legs; sometimes parents would rush them away or encourage them to look in another direction.
He does what he does best and pretends it doesn't hurt.
Levi shifts down and nuzzles his face on your shoulder, his toes holding captive yours, his hand sneaks under your dress and flips the skirt up to unveil your belly. You look at him soft-heartedly.
“They won’t think you’re a monster, Levi.” You wrap a curl of silky ebony hair around your finger, lazily toying with it. “The baby will love you, and they can’t be luckier to have the most caring and loving dad in the world.”
“But–“
You sweep away the tear streaming down his scarred cheek with your thumb. Your own tears well up in your eyes. He sniffs, nibbling on his salty lips.
“What if I’m not good enough?” His chest was heaving. Kenny abandoned me for not being good enough.
He clings to you in a hug, his tears seeping into your dress, and he burrows his face so don’t see him crying. A moist darker blue stain spreads over your shoulder, and the linen sticks to your flesh. His sobs hang in the room, and you let him unbosom what’s been twisting in his chest.
Humanity’s strongest soldier can cry too. And it’s ok. You told him the first time he shattered in your arms.
After a long, heavy sniffle, his sobs falter. Your palm warms his cheek. “Look at me,” you croon. His eye scoots to you and he gulps. “You’ll do a great job. And don’t forget we’re in this together, my sweet pie.” Your velvety fingers massage his head. “It’s ok to be scared. I’m scared too,” you susurrate. “But you have me and I have you, and together we can face anything. We’ve always have.”
He nods and flimsily caresses your belly. A new life, half you and half him blooming inside you. You and he created something together.
“I fucking love you, Y/N.”
“I love you too, Levi.” You pinch his nose between two knuckles and untangle from him, slipping off the bed.
“Where are you going?”
Levi hauls up into a sitting position, tilting his head to the side, and his gaze follows you to the closet. He watches you rummage through it, and seconds later you come out, lugging a bulky box draped in a shimmery golden wrapping paper that skims above your knees. A bone-white ribbon glued on the top.
Levi leaps of the bed and rushes to you. “What is this?” He doesn’t grant time for you to push it towards the bed. He kneels down and flips the dangling card. His gold band glints around his ring finger.
‘Happy Father’s day.’
He glances up to you. He rises and limps to fetch a chair for you. You sit and he crouches again, ignoring the flaring pain in his leg.
You fold your arms over your chest and shake your head. One leg crossed over the other.
“It’ll be the last time. I promise.”
“You said that the other day.” You scoff.
His fingers slit under the tapes, deliberately, and your foot swings in the air, impatiently.
You would’ve ripped it off already.
“Tea…set?” he mumbles for himself, and furrows his eyebrows, ’44 piece tea set’ he reads, then his eyes flick to you.
You lean forward, hands grappled at the rim of the chair.
“I know she won’t be able to play until she’s three…”
She?
“But when I spotted it in the toy store I saw you and her having tea parties in the living room and… Levi?”
He's staring at you, eyes wide, his left pupil dilated, quailing, beaming with white sparkling specks, and that’s when it strikes you like a lightning bolt.
You slap a hand over your mouth, mentally cursing at yourself. You weren’t revealing the baby’s gender. It was going to be a surprise for Levi until the day she was born.
“The brat is a girl? I’m having… we’re having a girl?” his voice quavers. Flabbergasted, he drags himself to you on his knees, and wraps his arms around you, pressing his cheek on your belly.
You let out a deep sigh at your mindlessness and shove your fingers in his hair.
“Yes, Levi, it’s a girl.” You giggle, your forefinger lingers down along his scar to under his chin, and tips his head up to you.
“A girl,” he mutters again as if he’s still trying to believe it. Tear-fringed eyelashes glitter as he droopily stares at you, one corner of his lips quirks up. Levi stands, his hands rest on your shoulders, and he reels forward, crashing his mouth on yours, telling you in a gentle kiss what he can’t put into words.
His lips taste like salt, yours like honey. Your lips always taste like honey. A moan wrings off your throat and he inches back. His palm settles on your face, stroking your cheek with the thumb, and your hand swallows his.
“Thank you,” he spews, chin trembling, “thank you, Y/N.”
For making me the happiest man in the world.
I promise to protect her as I promised to protect you.

My favorite pair were a pair of mens heavy duty they were bright orange and dark blue. I wore those until I wore though the soul of the shoe and have never found the brand every again. Other kinds of open toe shoes I highly recommended are the wedge style foam shoes with straps going across, best pair of shoes I currently own. Have you tried the kind with the wide holding straps? I also hate slippers, all close toed shoes make my feet sweat bad but slippers at the worst.-🐬
It's more of an issue of not holding onto my ankle, causing the slippery, gtfo effect. And I guess I walk a little weird cause every sandal/flip flop I've worn has been a chore to not lose.
I like the sound but not much else about it.

Wedge Sandals Review! 🌼
I bought these around a week and a half ago and they just arrived! As soon as I opened the box it was love at first sight… They are so beautiful. They’re quite light, maybe made from a foam or cork base, and I’m still getting used to walking in them, but they’re really comfortable, no rough edges or seams that I’ve seen yet. The ankle straps were a bit big but I just poked some extra holes in with the pin of a brooch LOL. They’re so cute and I’m super excited to wear them out ヾ(≧∇≦*)ゝ

Labor Day Fun: Celebrate Style w/ Two Chic Outfits
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Setting the Scene
As the summer sun begins to set, it's that time of year again - Labor Day. It's the unofficial farewell to summer, a day dedicated to relaxation, fun, and taking a break from the daily grind. For me, Labor Day is more than just a holiday; it's a chance to celebrate with my loved ones and embrace the transitional vibes of the season.
But this year, there's an extra layer of excitement in the air – it's Bey Day, the birthday of the iconic Beyoncé. As a devoted member of the Beehive, it's a day I've eagerly awaited. Before the festivities kick into high gear, let's start the day with a Labor Day brunch with my closest friends, followed by a family backyard BBQ later in the day. These two occasions call for different styles, but with a little creativity and some clever accessories, I've found a way to make the same pieces shine for both.
Outfit 1: Labor Day Brunch w/ Besties👯‍♀️
Tumblr media
Brunch Belle: Effortless Elegance in the Summer Dress
The SYZRI Women's Summer Puff Sleeve Off Shoulder Mini Dress is a celebration of everything summer should be – breezy, playful, and elegant all at once. The puff sleeves and off-shoulder design give it a touch of flirtatiousness, while the flowy A-line silhouette ensures comfort as I savor brunch with my besties. Plus, the cream-colored sunglasses of the pack from yesterday's ensemble are the perfect match for this dress, adding a dash of chic flair to shield my eyes from the California sun.
Step into Sunshine☀️
Tumblr media
I've chosen the Soda Style Bryce Espadrille Platform Sandals for brunch. These open-toe two bands espadrilles boast a jute platform wedge with a buckle ankle strap for that perfect blend of fashion and comfort. They're a versatile choice that transitions effortlessly from brunch to afternoon strolls along the beach.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My accessories aren't just about style; they're a story of love and connection. The Honsny 14K Gold Plated Stacking Rings Set adds a subtle touch of gold to my fingers, evoking a sense of elegance. The Reoxvo Dainty Gold Chain Bracelets Set and JENDEAR Layered Initial Necklaces drape me in a cascade of delicate chains, each one telling a tale of beauty and grace. The initial in the necklace, an 'A,' holds a special place in my heart as it represents my new last name since I was recently married. It's a subtle but meaningful way to rock my new identity and celebrate this beautiful journey.
Tumblr media
And then there's the Miabella 18K Gold Over Sterling Silver Italian Diamond-Cut Braided Rope Chain Anklet Ankle, a piece that's become a symbol of connection for me. It's a newfound love, inspired by my mother who's been adorning her ankle with an anklet for as long as I can remember. It's a small but significant tribute to the bond we share, connecting our styles across generations
Chic & Unique: The Finishing Touch
Tumblr media
To tie it all together, I've chosen the YYW Straw Clutch, a summer must-have. Its straw-woven envelope design exudes beachy vibes, and it's roomy enough to hold essentials like my phone, lip gloss, and a small notebook for jotting down memorable moments with friends.
Outfit 2: Family Backyard BBQ
Tumblr media
Shorts & Top: WDIRARA Women's High Waisted Denim Shorts and Cozyease Knot Shoulder Cami Top
After a delightful brunch with friends, it's time to head to the family's backyard BBQ. For this laid-back gathering, comfort is key. I've slipped into the WDIRARA Women's High Waisted Denim Shorts – a perfect blend of style and relaxation. Paired with the Cozyease Knot Shoulder Cami Top, this outfit exudes a casual charm that's perfect for mingling with loved ones.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Versatile Accessories: Honsny Stacking Rings, Reoxvo Chain Bracelets, and JENDEAR Layered Initial Necklaces
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What's truly remarkable is that I don't need a complete wardrobe change between brunch and the BBQ. The same jewelry that adorned my brunch outfit effortlessly transitions to this look, showcasing its versatility and ability to enhance any style
Glorious Outfit Change
I'd like to pause here and celebrate the joy of mixing and matching. By changing just a few key pieces – like the top and bottoms – you can create entirely different vibes without needing a suitcase full of clothes. It's fashion alchemy🔮 at its finest.
Family Love💙
Before we dive into the evening's Bey Day excitement, let me share a little about my love for family. Family is where my heart truly resides. My grandmother, who's also one of my best friends, and I talk every day. My mother being the one who first introduced me to the magic of fashion, encouraging me to explore my style and make it uniquely mine. Or I would just say "Daughter Barrow", but if you would ask her she would swear I was stealing from her. But I digress. I hold these connections near and dear to my heart, and each moment spent with family is a cherished memory.
💜Bey Day Excitement💜
Tumblr media
Now, let's talk about Bey Day! The anticipation for the Beyoncé👑 concert – aka Bey Day, aka Her Birthday Party – is electric. As a long-time member of the Beehive, I've eagerly awaited this day. It's a chance to celebrate the iconic artist and her music that has shaped so many lives, especially mine.
And here's a little secret: there's a special outfit coming up, the one I'll be wearing to the "Party." Stay tuned for tomorrow's reveal, and in the meantime, keep an eye out for what's dropping for the rest of September for my Style Dairy. 
As the sun sets on Labor Day and Bey Day unfolds, it's clear that fashion isn't just about clothes; it's about celebrating life's moments in style. Whether it's brunch with besties or a backyard BBQ with family, these occasions allow us to express ourselves and make memories with the people we love the most. And with the right pieces, we can look fabulous while doing it. Cheers to stylish celebrations and unforgettable moments!

Appearance
Yuna's signature clothing style consists of a simple white sun dress complete with 2 golden bangles on each wrist, and one chain linked bracelet adorning her left wrist. She wears her trademark silver necklace around her neck and keeps her hair about shoulder-length.
She will sometimes adorn a sunhat or throw together a modest flower crown just to appreciate the scent of fresh flowers wafting around while she toils endlessly in the soil. There are times she will throw her hair up in a scrunchy with hair bangs free, and pieces of hair shaping around her face.
Her shoes bare a bulky black wedge and sandal combo with leather straps bound around her ankle joined with a comfortable fabric suitable for walking on uneven surfaces. Despite the idea that heels or anything raised would be brutal on the arch of your feet, Yuna's shoes were made specifically for her with a few modified properties such as: the rubber soles made of Hexadragon leather, made to grip any surface, resistant to slippage of any sort, and keeps you upright while the cloth bound by her leather straps keeps her ankle positioned properly even when she runs.
