Roller Skating is Back & Fashionable?

This might be a very obvious statement, but the summer is so awesome!! People are happier, the days are longer and hotter, and we get to spend more time outside without having to put on 18 layers of clothing and still freeze our butts off! When recently researching fun things to do in Toronto for the upcoming months, I came across this Toronto based store that sells roller-skating gear called Cardinal Skates. I personal wrote off roller-skating as something no one does anymore, but once I found these ADORABLE skates, I’m starting to reconsider my transportation methods! For those of you who don’t know me personally, I have zero athletic ability in my body and therefore while I’m not entirely sure how safe roller-skating is, I’ve certainly got the resources to help you look amazing, even if you’re falling on your booty the whole time! I may even buy myself a pair…I’m bringing sexy roller-skating back!

This is totally a bad girl Ri-Ri outfit isn’t it? The leopard print skates are beyond amazing. You can pair it with a cute skirt for a feminine look, or if you want that edgy bad-a** look, try some cut off shorts and a sexy crop top with some statement earrings. You can’t go wrong with these Hermès earrings!
