One thing I love about living in California, is how laid-back the style is here. I feel like I could rock wearing sneakers to any sort of event I attend. On a regular basis you’ll probably see me wearing my black, or white faux vans on an everyday basis. Either that or I’m wearing fake keds. Notice a trend here? I don’t tend to buy the real deal because I’m cheap. I shouldn’t be! Considering it’s my feet and I’m usually complaining about them hurting if I’m headed to the City for a day.
Here are 5 of my current favourites for for all budgets – enjoy!
For the most part I wear sneakers 90% of the time, whether they’re slip on or street-style. Here are some of my favourite sneakers for summer.
Brooks Women’s Chariot Heritage $99. 80s babies rejoice! The 80s sneakers are making a huge comeback and I’m all about hopping on that train. I LOVE these Brooks Women’s Chariot Heritage $99. They come in a huge array of colour combos to choose from (and not just suede, either). Who digs them as much as me?
Converse Shoreline sneaker $55-75. Woah, did you know you could customize your own chucks? I’ve been eyeing the lowtop shoreline white converse shoe for months. But it was only when I visited their site that I realized you could customize the colour, print, and even stripe on the shoe! These are such a classic. I remember having a pair of Converse high tops as a kid.
Vans Perf Leather Slip-On $60. Perforated vans in black, or white. These are my everyday shoe (except mine are from Target, hee hee). I think they’re so classic, and they’ve been going with everything I’ve been wearing for the past year or more. I love the suede perf too that I pinn’ed here.
Superga Cotu Classic $33-65. These are quite similar to the converse shoes I love, but have a touch of “hey what are those?” to them. I know that Target now has a collaboration with them and I think they’re under $30!
Nike Air Max Thea $90. I spotted these at the mall with a black tongue and laces, and they look way better than the all red listed on their site. I took so many photos of them, I might have to go back and grab them up!
Honourable mentions of Sneaker Love that are probably not available anymore but I found them on Pinterest. Grey suede reeboks! Nude suede nikes with gold swish. Grey on grey nike sneakers. Pink suede sneakers by a brand I’ve never heard of. Maybe I just like suede sneakers?
Now, if I only had all the money to buy every shoe I listed, I’d be set.
What kind of shoes do you gravitate towards? Flats, sandals, heels, sneakers?
You’ll know what a fun weekend I had in San Francisco with Mazda if you’ve been following along snapchat, twitter, or instagram! This was a press trip which allowed the whole family to attend. We spent the entire weekend hanging with the Mazda peeps in the heart of Japantown at Hotel Kabuki. Hotel Kabuki is in the midst of renovating, but it still has many attractive features as it’s a Japanese-influenced boutique hotel with gorgeous rooms decorated in Japanese style, and they’re dog friendly. Bonus!
