A couple of fun and chic new sneakers to zhush up the winter wardrobe. Don’t be afraid of the punchy colors! Pair with your fav jeans and neutral sweater/tee and be on your way! I’m wearing Adidas’ mint green Sambas above, which you can still find here and here, or in different colors here. Make sure you check the sizing — sometimes these are sold in men’s sizes (they’re unisex). I find they generally run a bit big. If in question, you can go down half a size IMO.

*Don’t ask me why, but they are on sale in a silver/white colorway here.
Shopping tip: if you are obsessing over a designer sneaker but unwilling to shell out for them, keep an eye on The Real Real. For example, these Loewe Flows are in my size and in “pristine” condition, with tags on, but under $500. (When I can’t sleep, I love to prowl TRR for hidden gems — I shared some recent excellent finds here.)
The current style is to pair sneakers with socks that show. A few great pairs to consider: any of these ones from Target; these from American Trench; these Falkes (so, so soft and conveniently thin for layering with sneaks — I have a few pair of these); or these pop-of-logo Totemes.

I’ve been stalking sneakers to replace my old Golas for several weeks now. This inspired me to pull the trigger! I ordered a pair of sambas with a gum sole, and two pairs of pumas – classic Clydes in grass green and Palermos in royal blue. Still wish I could go to a store to try on like in ye olde days, instead of paying hundreds of dollars just to try on…but that appears to be the world we live in now! I like the look of those red adidas…might try those if my order doesn’t work. Or some red pumas I spotted on Zappos!
Yay! Love your picks! Which color of the Sambas did you get?!
