Currently Loving:
1. Grey Adidas NMD {$100-$300} - I am obsessed with my NMDS! I wear them so much then I thought I would when I originally bought them, because they are so much more than workout shoes. I wear them for style when I go for a street-type look. To me, these are too nice for the gym, so I try to keep them away from there. I want to keep them clean and as long lasting as possible! A typical outfit I would wear with these would be the shoes, lulu lemon leggings, a cropped sweatshirt, and a baseball hat. They are extremely comfortable, 10x better than Nike. However, they are super hard to find, because they only made a certain amount of pairs. You can find them on Amazon or Ebay, but they are extremely expensive. Once more come out, the price should go down!
2. Black Old Skool Vans {$60} - These black old skool vans are so cool. I love vintage shoes, and I love how they are more edgier then some other vans. These shoes are a huge trend right now. Celebrities such as Kylie Jenner and different rappers wear these all the time, and they have come back! They are extremely comfortable. I wear mine when I dress in a street-style look. A typical outfit with these shoes would be distressed light wash jeans, a band tee, and a camoflauge jacket.
3. White Slip-On Vans $50 - My white slip-on vans are my go to shoe. I normally wear them when I go for more of a street style look. I love that they go with anything, and they are so easy to take on and off! The only thing that bothers me about them is that they get dirty so quick (expected when you get all white shoes). I sprayed mine before hand, and I am now onto my second pair. A tip that I have learned from the company VANS is that they sell "Grade B" shoes for almost half of the price. The "Grade B" shoes have something slightly wrong with them, so they are not met to full standards. I recently just got a "Grade B" pair of white slip on vans and compared them to the "Grade A" shoe and I could not even spot a difference. I ended up getting them for $30!
4. Jack Rogers Gold Hamptons Sandal {$118} - People may say these are basic, but I'm a firm believer in Jacks! They are so comfortable once you break them in, and they honestly go with any preppy summer look. I will say when you first get them, they kill your heels. Now that mine are broken in, I can wear them for hours and hours and be perfectly fine. Another tip about Jack Rogers is that they are extremely narrow footed, so if you have a wide foot I would suggest moving a size up. Even though I do dress in a lot of street-style looks, I still love to wear flowy dresses and cute little skirts, and this is the perfect shoe to do so. I've had my gold pair for about four years now, and they still do the trick.
5. Lucky Brand Colette Gladiator Sandal {$39.97} - These shoes were one of my best finds yet! I actually got these in Asheville at Dillards for $10! They can be found at a cheap price, which is great, because Lucky Brand is such a durable and great name brand. I love how I can just lace them up and it dresses my outfit up with whatever I wear. I love wearing a light sweater, fringe jeans and these cute sandals to spice it up. I also wear these shoes with a cute spring dress!I am super into gold right now, so these shoes match all my gold accessories and they seriously match everything.
6. Light Grey Suede Peep-Toe Steve Madden Booties {$70} - I am obsessed with all booties right now. Out of the booties I do have, these are definitely my favorite. Suede anything is a huge trend right now, and I am so into it. I love the feel, texture, and look to it. It makes any outfit extremely classy without effort. They are super comfortable and not a huge heal, which is what I like. One of my favorite parts of this shoe is the wood heal, it adds great detail! With this shoe, I would wear black jeans, a body suit and a cool trench coat. I also would do leather jeans, and a big fur coat. Unfortunately, I could not find the link to them anywhere. I did buy them in the actual Steve Madden store, but since spring shoes are now filling the stores, they may be sold out.
7. Lulu Block Heel Sandals Merona Target {$29.99} - A little black heel is such an essential to everyone's closet. Whether it's a special event, a date night, or just a girls night out. I love this heal, because it is the exact same as the Steve Madden shoes, but less than half the price and can be found at any local Target. I have nothing but positive things to say about this shoe!
Currently Wanting:
1. Adidas Yeezy Boosts 350 {$200-$500} - Ughhh... I've been wanting these since last year! They are extremely expensive, but I can dream right? They are drop dead gorgeous. I love the classic black and white pair, because you can wear so much with them. They are extremely popular right now, but it seems like only the top celebrities are able to get their hands on them as of now. They are super hard to find, because only a limited amount was processed. I love anything Yeezy, and this would just top off any look.
2. Fenty Puma By Rihanna Velvet Creeper Sneaerks, Dark Red {$150} - These are amazing. Puma is a huge brand that is back in style now-a-days. I love how these shoes make any outfit effortlessly trendy. Velvet is also a huge trend now as well, whether it be in shirts, dresses or shoes. The maroon color is to die for. I love everything about this shoe!
3. Cara Blush Multi Steve Madden Heels {$129.95} - These heels are gorgeous! I love the detail of the studs and the thickness of the heel. This is perfect for a night out, or a cute day in the city. You can pair this with a cute LBD!
4. Rosette Tan Suede Espadrilles {$79.95} - Espadrilles are huge this year! They are appearing now then ever, and they are a great summer essential. I love this shoe, because you can dress it up or down. They are perfect with a cute sundress or a pair of shorts. They are just the type of "go to" shoe that everyone loves.
5. Women;s Harriet Lace Up Heeled Quarter Strap Sandals Merona {$29.99} - Target shoes are honestly great. I love how trendy this shoe is, and that it is at such a great size! The good thing about Target shoes is that you can try out trendy shoes for an affordable price. These booties are great for the Spring and Summer and go with everything. They come in black and taupe!
6. Faux Fur Slides {$24.90} - Faux Fur Slides are a huge trend right now. I don't know if I'm exactly a big fan, but that's why I love forever 21. They have big trends in their stores for a great price. Big fashion brands such as gucci, fendi, louis vutton are incorporating fur slides in their lines and are seen out and about by celebrities. These shoes come in various colors and are sold in numerous places, but I trust Forever 21 and know they are a good and dependable brand!
