The amount of trainers I own are definitely not in proportion to the time I spend exercising. I adore them though: I love how these days it’s acceptable to wear a lovely silk dress and slap on a pair of Nikes to dress it down a bit. I love how comfy they are on the school run (though obviously no literal running takes place) and I love the pop of colour they can bring to an outfit.
My newest loves: New Balance Running Shoe, £71.99
Trainers remind me of when I was at school and it was totally acceptable to strap on my Filas with my 90s high-rise stonewashed jeans to go and loiter outside New Look. I still remember my lilac platform pumps from Miss Selfridge with the fondest of memories: evidently I’ve always enjoyed wearing trainers until the cows come home.
As a fully paid-up sneaker fan I have a Pinterest board dedicated to my favourites and have a wishlist of ‘trainers I need in my life’:
Via Alice & Sara
Starting with these Black Nike Free 5.0+. I love to see them with an all-black outfit or to chic up a pair of bright trousers (of which I have plenty); these are first on my list.
Via The Frugality
Next up is a pair of grey Nikes with neon trim: similar are these Nike Free Bionic training shoes for £71.99.
For me, trainers MUST be worn with skinny jeans or leggings; I’ve recently been sent these confident curves leggings from Isme and they are amazing, they hold everything in and give a lovely silhouette. A bit of grey jersey and tailoring or leather on top and job’s a good’un.

My Nike wedge hightops are practically glued to my feet. No school run running involved here either. xx
Ooh just googled and they are DEFINITELY going on my wishlist!xx
An, love the ones with a dash of neon :)
It’s hard to believe the reign of high tops could be over – if South London is anything to go by NB are the ONLY footwear to have :)
We’re still well stuck on Converse out here in the sticks ;)
LOVE this look and your new trainers! Can you tell me more about those Isme leggings please? The only leggings I’ve ever bought are rubbish. Are the Isme ones amazing? x
They really are amazing! I thought, how good can leggings be? But these are super comfy and hold everything in wonderfully x
