DAY SEVENTEEN
DAY SEVENTEEN: Black canvas Chuck Taylor All-Stars, Converse
It’s another chilly day in London and with the clouds looking distinctly like they might open and pour, I figured that practicality would have to take priority today so out comes yet another pair of trusty Converse. I bought these recently to replace my original pair that saw me through university and beyond as they were covered in paint and riddled with holes. This pair have fallen apart far more quickly, with the rubber trim hanging off and the backs have already worn through inside. Hmm.
Worn with: Black skinny jeans, Topshop; X-ray print studded tee, Zara; Black and sequin waistcoat, Toki & Nabi; UFO scarf (just seen), Topshop Unique. Not pictured: Grey leather biker, Topshop; Grey leather bag, Jaeger

DAY TWELVE
DAY TWELVE: White canvas slip-ons, Converse (2001 Limited Edition)
Apologies for the delay in posting today, it’s been a crazy day which started with my handbag breaking just as I got too far from my house to go back and change it.
Anyway, HURRAH it’s Friday so I’m going casual and busting out the Converse again. I bought these while I was still at school and they come out every summer. I didn’t have a chance to wash them before I threw them so they look at bit like they’ve been through the wars. You probably can’t see it very clearly in the picture but they have a red and white swirly floral print that runs along the rubber trim - that coupled with the fact that they’re slip-on rather than the standard lace up style sold them to me all those years ago.
Worn with: Blue skinny jeans, Miss Selfridge; Polka dot vest, H&M; Grey vest, American Apparel; Leopard cardigan, Pure Collection. Not pictured: Grey leather trophy biker, Topshop; Spoon necklace, Aqua; UFO scarf, Topshop Unique; Broken leather saddle bag, Prada.

DAY SEVEN
DAY SEVEN: Grey canvas Chuck Taylor All-Stars, Converse
Everyone loves a good pair of Converse, including me. I think I own about 15 pairs in various colours and designs, so you’ll probably see quite a few pairs on here, especially on weekend posts. Today, I did a mad dash around Westfield and then the supermarket in preparation of barbequeing again, so I pulled out one of my trusty grey pairs. They’re battered to kingdom come and the entire insides have worn away on the heel so I have to wear them with socks but I love them and can’t bring myself to chuck (pardon the pun) them away.
When I was at university and before the advent of ballet pumps, Converse were pretty much all I wore so they hold a special place in my heart and indeed, shoe collection. One of the best places to buy them is definitely Office, which has one of the biggest variations in terms of style and colour, as well as often having exclusive designs - I’ve got the leopard print pair firmly in my sights.
Worn with: Black ‘Baxter’ jeans, Topshop; Grey and navy stripe jumper, Boden. Not pictured: Green parka-style jacket, River Island; Grey/green studded bag, Max C
