FlyKnit Nike's

 

 

Nike/ Selfridges (you can buy here)

I haven't worn a pair of trainers since I was in P.E running riot in my school playground, and even then, I still think I tried to get out of it by wearing plimsolls. I've never been too fond of trainers, I don't whether it's because I'm too much of a girly girl and into wearing pretty heels that kill my feet and not the sporty girl that opts for comfort. Or because I just believed that any other shoe is going to look 100 times better with that outfit than strapping on trainers to my feet. The only trainer-like style of footwear I liked were converse. I lived in them between the ages of 9-13 in my more grungy days of Avril Lavigne.

Recently though, I have been open to perhaps experimenting a little bit more with trainers. They've come a long way since when I used to remember them as the old Reebok classic and White Air Force 1's.

So one night my boyfriend and I are shopping in Selfridges and he decides he wants to buy himself his first pair of trainers... he's a converse lover too. He settles with a Classic Black pair of Nike's (to go with everything in his wardrobe that is black of course). 

I definitely had to try them out now to see what I thought of them... And obviously it happened to be the first pair I tried on which I loved straight away. 

The FlyKnit style trainer features woven fabric allowing for a supportive and breathable fit. I was torn between buying the classic black which I could get more use out of or this Bright Citrus Pink which makes the trainer somewhat a bit more special and more of a statement to wear. You could probably already guess the ones I went for being someone mad on colour. 

 I couldn't believe the comfort the shoes gave me, I felt like I could bounce around in them all night. So that's exactly what we did. We both couldn't wait to wear them so we changed into our brand new purchases and wore our first pair of trainers home together ... :) 

 

Perfectly PINK

 

I am in love with my new dress from ASOS. If there is anything better than a pink dress it's a two- tone pink dress. ASOS is my absolute favourite website for dresses, I can always rely on it to find something to my taste, I just need a bit of colour, or pattern and preferably a midi dress to twirl around in. My heels which I bought last summer I found went perfect with the dress. They create a cool contrast with the bright orange against the pink satin. I have never felt so girly :D

 

Heels- ASOS 

Dress- ASOS

 

Hurry up because they are both on sale!!

Nicholas Kirkwood

Does anyone remember their first pair of heels? I remember mine. I can tell you the very first time I wanted my first pair, I was 6 years old, in Spain, fixated on the little Spanish singer we see every year, every summer, in her sparkling, glitterball red shoes. You could say they were identical to Dorothy's "No place like Home" shoes in Wizard of Oz. I used to sit on the stage where she would sing, eyes glued to her feet, (she had tiny feet, almost as tiny as my 6 year old feet...) the way they'd sparkle and dance around to the Spanish maracas. After the whole summer dreaming about these red glitter heels, she ended up giving me a spare pair that she had. I was so happy! You can imagine I wanted to wear them all the time. But still at the age of 6, I was only allowed to click clock around in them indoors. 

I also remember the first time I got my first ever pair of Nicholas Kirkwoods... :D

I went along to his sample sale last week, and being very near to Christmas I tried to stop from buying for myself. And, I did really well... until I eventually gave up and whilst heading towards the exit, I saw them, and that was it. 

Game Over.

 I picked them up, tried them on, without hesitation, without looking back, took them to pay. 1 pair of Nicholas Kirkwoods purchased just like that.

I felt like I was 6 again, clomping around in my glitterball red shoes like a Spanish Senorita... (Damn, if I was writing this post on my iphone, the lady in the red dress emoji would be much appropriate right now).
