Chic Summer BBQ

We all know the struggle when those summer BBQs hit – how do we stay comfortable and chic at the same time? I want to enjoy myself, but also show that I put a bit of thought into my outfit. I always find that the best way to solve this issue is to start with the shoes:

When you need a shoe that is not only comfortable, but versatile, Vans are the only way to go. I got a pair from my friends over at Union Jack Boots ‘The Leather Sk8-Hi Slim Zip’ in PINK because I wanted something that I could wear for long periods of time that still were stylish.

These shoes go with everything! I can wear them with jeans or dresses, and as long as I keep them clean can even get away with wearing these to work-out. .

They are very easy to clean too; I usually just wipe them with a wet paper towel whenever they start to look dirty and they are as good as new.

Vans: The Leather Sk8-Hi Slim Zip combines a slimmed down version of the legendary lace-up high top with a zipper entry at the heel, leather uppers, signature rubber waffle outsoles, and padded collars for support and flexibility.

in this case I picked out my favourite pair of Vans (pink of course) and paired them with a “fashion meets fitness” outfit. I kept my outfit relatively simple and went with black and grey tones…so that my shoes popped at bit…and it was easy to focus in on one thing – making it all look very ‘effortless’.I chose to sport this awesome Lolë top, as it had amazing ventilation (great for those hot summer days), and it was also extremely stylish!
