Feel Like a Star In All Stars.


Sometimes it’s nice to dress down and relax, knowing that no matter what, you look great and feel fabulous. We all love clothes that don’t leave us dying to get home and into our pyjamas. Style and comfort need to go hand in hand: so if it doesn’t feel right, then don’t wear it.

Let’s face it - ladies shoes are often the worst culprits and can ruin a night with constant pain or embarrassing falls. We watch celebs like J-Lo and Rihanna strutting their stuff in sky-high heels and wonder, just how do they do it?

The truth is they’re probably faking it. If they’re anything like us (and secretly we suspect they are) chances are the second they get home or off stage they’re out of the stilettos and into the flats - and who can blame them?

So sometimes it’s tricky to find a great pair of shoes that look fab, feel amazing and last a lifetime. However, having a rummage through the wardrobe on the hunt for something trendy and wearable, we stumbled across some all time classics - Converse shoes. And what a joy it was too.

There’s nothing like popping on a pair of old favourites like Converse, it’s kind of like coming home after a long day and stretching out on the sofa.

And who doesn’t love them? There’s a reason these bad boys have been going strong for nearly a hundred years. These funky, all-weather shoes will work with anything and won’t let you down.

Even Sarah Jessica Parker has been known to pop on a pair: we knew she had good taste! And let’s face it; if she’s doing it, then we should be too.

The famous Carrie Bradshaw 

And, if like New York girl Carrie, you’re a lady who likes the heels, then never fear, Converse is here. With a pair of Chuck Taylor All Star Lady Outsiders you can get a boot that will give you a boost but won’t let you fall from grace.

So even if you’re more glamour puss than rock chick, don’t stray far from your trusty friends All Stars. Simply pair with some skinny jeans and a classic tee.

Whatever you wear, whoever you are, there’s just something about Converse that appeals to everyone. So what are you waiting for? Give you feet a well-earned rest and rock some retro-casual style.

  4. I've been a converse fan since I was a little girl and love to mix them with more polished pieces. It creates this classic juxtapose that is effortlessly chic.

  5. I love the way heels look and I can't help but keep buying them, but my go-to are always flats! I'm not much of a sneakers girl, but I love the way the converse sneaks look! :)

  22. Great inspiration post! The celebs all look amazing in their converse! I guess it's definitely a tough girl alternative to ballet flats! I used to wear a pair of red converse throughout my teenage years... After those were toast, I guess I've just moved on to... Other stuff! Definitely missed those kicks!
