Pumped Up Kicks

Denim buttondown, Hues • Tanktop/wedge sneakers, Topshop • Skirt, Thrifted (from Tin Iglesias at #BU3)

Let’s just talk about the shoes, because that’s what this one is all about. The idea of a hidden heeled sneaker first caught my eye when celebrities, fashionistas and bloggers around the world began sporting the ultra chic Isabel Marant versions. Since then, I've always wished that someone would make one that I can actually afford and have. Now the girly meets sporty rendition has the likes and I recently spotted one at Topshop. So what's so great about these wedge sneakers? The hybrid is both fashionable and functional, with chunky heels built into the sporty look. You get the casual look of sneakers, but the feeling you get from walking in heels. We rarely ever associate sneakers with style, but this current footwear craze may have changed this for good. It's not practical to run in these 'sneakers' but they're probably be one of the more comfortable and unique pair of heeled shoes you'll own. I love my pair, and I will probably invest in another pair of wedge sneakers soon! So, take your kicks up a notch with wedge sneakers too!
