When we spotted some of our favorite fashion-forward icons are rocking the same trend, we took notice!  Beyonce, Alessandra Ambrosio, Alicia Keys and Tracee Ellis Ross have all been spotted wearing Isabel Marant’s Wedge Sneaker. And occasionally, we too like to trade in our five-inch platform pumps for a pair of chic sneakers. We love that the high-top wedge sneakers trend features a concealed heel, so we can keep the extra height (yet walk a little more comfortably). The Isabel Marant‘s are pretty much sold out everywhere but we’ve been on a mission to find alternative versions...  Read More..

The latest Swatch Originals collaboration with French graffiti artist Fafi (who has also collab’d with  with Adidas, M.A.C cosmetics and Chanel), resulted in yet another haute design I’d...  Read More..
