When sneakers are a little bit different

I actually have a fairly big sneaker collection, if I say so myself that is.. My go-to sneakers as of lately are my black Inkkas! The Inkkas are comfortable like Vans but thanks to the South American print clearly a bit different! My Boyfriend has them in grey (talk about a his and hers trend) It's funny to see how he gets stopped a lot on the street by people asking him where he got his sneakers. I'm still totally new to kickstarter but Inkkas is clearly one of those kickstarter succes stories!

An Intricate touch

My new Inkkas sneakers! I love the intricate South American textiles used to make these handmade sneakers, it's brilliant! The sneakers look gorgeous with skinny jeans and simple tee's, they add such a lush touch of color to just about anything! My boyfriend got a pair in gray, a bit more subtle because, you know, he's a guy haha, they look amazing with his scruffy jeans, hair, tee's and hoodies!

Nike LunarGlide+ 4

A much seen street style sneaker right now is the Nike. The Nike Running Sneakers are perfect for those sleek New York and Scandinavian chic looks worn daily in minimal and often sleek black looks and I have envied bloggers like Alice and Sabrina for pulling off the looks perfectly for a while now. 

But the Nike LunarGlide+ 4 is more then just fashion envy, it is a perfect lightweight running shoe with an adaptive glove-like-fit and an excellent blend of springy cushioning and support coming in a multitude of hot colors and color combinations. I think it's time for me to replace my all stars for the LunarGlide and add that bit of city fashion sleekness to my looks that I envy so much! (and instead of black I might go for the above pastels)

5 ways to wear sneakers

Someone asked me if I ever wear sneakers and how I wear them.

So here are my favorite 5 way's of styling my kicks;

1) With Mini A-line Skirts

A fluttery mini skirt and a tucked in T-shirt give a more girly or retro look, depending if you wear it with a funky over the top skirt like the tutu or a (ditsy floral printed) "vintage look" skirt. My rule for going crazy with the fluffy tutu's and sneakers? I keep my hair and make-up natural and don't wear any jewelry with it.

2) With Boy friend jeans

Sneakers go so well with boyfriend jeans, my rule for not looking like a boy? I always wear a fitted/tight top with it to give the whole look some feminine curves.

3) With above the knee Dresses

All dresses go with sneakers period. I mostly wear vintage dresses just above the knee as well as more girly romantic dresses, and I just love to wear the sneakers with socks of course. (like seen here)

4) With Leggings

I love the simplicity of leggings with sneakers, I mostly wear them with a loose fitted tee or sweater and love to top of the look with a blazer.(seen here)

5) With Maxi skirts and dresses

I often wear my sneakers under a maxi skirt or dress with a big sweater, very laid-back and "Olson" layered. Big sunnies and a big hobo bag almost a must ;)
