5 Cool Sneakers

Sneakers are a big trend for fall, and I’m happy it’s a fun, casual trend. However, there’s a fine line between casual chic and sloppy. I’ve pulled together my fave 5 cool sneakers for the season. Hope you like them too!

Superga Metallic Sneakers. I love the look of these metallic tweed, limited-edition sneakers! They are perfect to wear with an oversized sweater and skinny jeans in the fall. Free shipping and free returns. $144.95

Converse Chuck Taylor Sneaker. Lowtop Chuck Taylors are all the rage in Paris. I saw sooo many very chic Parisian women wearing them while I was there that I decided I need a pair too. I like these because the goldtone splatters and micro-houndstooth pattern elevate them from other everyday styles. Free shipping and free returns. $59.95

Nike Air Max Sneaker. I admit it. I’m a bit obsessed with the camo trend for fall. Between the Tom’s Desert booties I bought (see my post on them here), the skinny camo jeans that I got on sale in Germany for $4.00 (!!!!!!!!!!), and these super cool Nike sneaks, I can’t deny it any longer. Free shipping and free returns. $120

Converse Jack Purcell Sneakers. Jack Purcell is a more feminine version of Converse sneakers, and these will go with everything! I love the no-lace look. Free shipping and free returns. $74.95

Ash Genial Wedge Sneaker. I saw these in Paris last spring but didn’t buy them because I didn’t want to spend so much money on a pair of sneakers. After I got home, I obsessed over them until I found them here. I personally like Ash sneakers better than the typical wedge sneakers because they are more sleek and cool looking. I wear these all the time! Free shipping and free returns. $199.95

My new camo skinny jeans that I got for $4.00 in Germany. Bargain of the century!!!!

The new camo skinny jeans that I got for $4.00 in Germany. I’m at a carnival in Bamberg, Germany, a town that’s over 1000 years old.
