Sneakers For The Girls Who DON'T Wear Sneakers

Image
A couple of posts ago, I talked about being a sneakerhead and listed my favorite drops of 2017 so far. I know that, like myself, there are tons of girls out there that love sneakers and are always keeping their eyes peeled for the latest, coolest releases.  But I got to thinking ... what about the girls who don't usually wear sneakers? The girls who only throw on trainers when they're going to the gym. I'm always badgering my girlfriends to ditch the boots & flats and try on some kicks, but never really thought to help them find styles they'd like and actually want to wear. So here we go, my curated list of sneakers for the non-sneakerhead girl. 10 pairs that'll surely spark some interest in all you girly girls out there! 1 - Adidas - EQT 91/16 Racing Sneaker - $120 I literally could not think of a more girly sneaker if I tried. These super cute Adidas are perfect for warmer weather & for those who typically eschew socks, even with closed toe shoes...

What The Frakta?!

Over the last week or two, the internet has been going INSANE over IKEA's response to Balenciagas $2,145 version of it's $.99 Frakta tote (you know, the one you stuff full with your old clothes to go sell at the Buffalo Exchange). The Arena tote  sparked an internet frenzy of people making their own IKEA inspired pieces - made entirely out of the Frakta bag.  Scroll down to see Balenciagas tote, IKEA's response, and my favorite Frakta tote creations!

Denim on Denim on Denim

Over the  last few years, there's been a rise and a shift in the way we as a society wear denim. No longer are we confined to just a basic pair of jeans, or a denim jacket. Patchwork, embroidery, frayed & dropped hems, colored denim - there are more options than you can even count when it comes to this generations true blues.  For this post, I've gathered up all my favorite denim trends we're seeing for Spring 2017, as well as where you can find them (click the store/site names under each photo for a direct link to the product!).  The Cropped Flare Kut from Kloth Belle Mild Wash Cropped Flare - $89 - on sale at  Macy's  for $45 Need Supply & Co. RE/DONE High Rise Flare Crop - $310 -  Needsupply.com The Crop Flare! Exactly as the name states, the cropped flare is a hybrid of the crop jean and the flare. Perfect for girls that fall on the shorter end of the height spectrum, these jeans are a Spring go-to for all the fashionistas ...

My Favorite Kicks of 2017 (so far ...)

Image
If you know me, you know I'm a low-key sneakerhead. Some girls prefer heels, some girls prefer sandals; I, no matter what the season, occasion, or weather conditions, prefer sneakers. High tops, low tops, training, or casual, I love them all.  I'm always trying to find the newest, coolest, pairs to add to my collection. I like to stay on trend while at the same time finding some kicks that no one has or has seen before.  Below, I've compiled a list of my favorite pairs that have come out, or are coming out this year! Although they're pretty much all  Nike & Adidas (my two ABSOLUTE favorite athletic wear brands), this list is bound to have something for everyone!   Pharrell x Adidas Tennis Hu  - 05/06/2017   Classic Pharell WIlliams x Adidas shape with a Stan Smith inspired look, this is a perfect example of a sneaker that's trendy, but still 100% unique.  Nike VaporMax in "Glacier Blue" and "Light Violet" - 06/01/20...
