Lauren by Ralph Lauren “Brena” Canvas Camo Sneaker: Sneaking Their Way Onto My Feet?

I am not into sneakers. As in, I don’t call them “kicks.” Nor am I into camouflage (thank you military personnel for defending us, but I will leave the fighting and fatigues to you). But I have to say: the no-lace, plain look of these Lauren sneakers is cute for a casual summer day when … Continue reading “Lauren by Ralph Lauren “Brena” Canvas Camo Sneaker: Sneaking Their Way Onto My Feet?”

Converse Missoni High-Top Sneakers

The Converse is a shoe I would not normally – probably needless to say! – wear, but in the signature Missoni zig-zag knit pattern, this is a sneaker so shockingly chic that I snap up a pair each season. And actually wear them. The black laces and traditional white rubber sole pop against the print, … Continue reading “Converse Missoni High-Top Sneakers”

But I will … Continue reading “Lanvin Metallic Cracked-Leather Sneakers: Fool’s Gold”

If I was cooler, I would wear these.

Designers Marithe et Francois Girbaud for spring-summer 2011 ready-to wear collection presentation in Paris. I wear sneakers out of necessity. When I’m working out (ew), when I have a long way to walk, and when I am doing something dirty (I mean outside/nature wise, perverts). But these sneakers are a shoe of a different breed. … Continue reading “If I was cooler, I would wear these.”

Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2011

Marc Marc Marc. Stop teasing me with your mixed signals. Is it a sneaker? Is it a pump? Is it a saddle shoe? I don’t underst- wait- it’s.. both? (my world crumbles). Very rarely have I seen sneaker-pump hybrids that I enjoy. I usually only see combos like these on the scary parts of town … Continue reading “Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2011”
