Wedge sneakers. Are still on trend?

I know, I know...everything is already been said about the famous Isabel Marant wedge sneakers and its hundreds of high street dupes.

I hope you are not thinking something like "oh no, not again" or "your late on that trend girl".

Some people hate them, some people love them. 

it doesn't seem to be a middle ground with them

In my case, I loved them from the beginning but I knew my sanity wasn't going to allow me to spend such amount of money in a pair of sneakers.

I've been in mission since then to find the perfect dupe for me.

They've been around in Spain for a while but for whatever reason in my short visits in the past year, I had not been able to find a pair that would please me in terms of design and price. 

Well...surprise, surprise!! Wedge sneakers seem to be in trend in Geneva since the beginning of 2013. Slowly I've been seeing them make their appearance in shops and in walking feet of what you would consider "fashionista" girls. 

Of course, after so much waitting I couldn't let it go. After going all over the city looking for my perfect match, I found this lovely pair at a shop called Le Halle aux Chaussures (the one in Meyrin, for those who live in the area) at around 50CHF.

I'll be honest. I thought they were expensive.

But I love them! I am super comfortable with them, I pair them with anything and I have actually gotten some compliments while wearing them. And no one seems to notice the wedge, which is great for a small girl like me!

Never been happier of Switzerland going behind in terms of trends!

I know this question is over done...but Are (were) you a lover or a hater?

Do you still wear them?

I want to be fashionista!

Today's post is about fashion. Like If I had a clue about it or about the meaning of fashion itself. Because we are always told what's IN and what's OUT every season and stores define their collections based on those patterns.

But what's fashion really?

I don't care much about what happens in the runaways to be honest but one of my favourite hobbies is to look at clothes online. There are many things I like and often I make a mental wish list of those things. I want them and I imagine myself wearing them and being so "well styled" (tellement élégant...).

Deep in my heart I know I want to be fashionista. I am somehow a fashionista. I'd want to be able to pull out this outfits...

Well, here I have to recognize I'd actually paired the outfit with these other shoes from H&M...

I don´t think I have a defined style but I'd say I tend to go for practical and comfy. Maybe if in my late teens I had another budget or inspiration, now my style would be different. Even If I'm still practical I'm starting to be more exclusive now with what I buy. The thing for me is that at the end, it isn´t even a matter of budget but more of where would I go dressed like that according to my life style and the environment I am in.

And you? do you have a defined style?

Are you crazy about trends or you prefer doing your own thing?

What's fashion for you?
