Oh Yeah Adidas

How completely and utterly cool does Phoebe Philo look?

Phoebe Philo single handedly reignited my love for Adidas with this image. When I was about 17 I had the best pair of navy and cream shell-toed, canvas and suede Adidas trainers from Slam City Skates. Sadly they are in land fill somewhere, so what better excuse to go and buy some more!

I began with grey suede Gazelles. They are super easy to wear and have replaced my loafers and slip on trainers, working easily with jeans, tailored trousers, midi skirts and dresses.

Then a few weeks ago I purchased some Stan Smith's figuring they'd be as versatile as my Gazelle's. I eschewed the green style, instead going for navy seeing as half of my wardrobe is navy.

Recently Sarah Clarke, one of my favourite stylists and blogger of Little Spree, did the most incredible shoot for Red Magazine on how to wear the navy Stan's, making me even happier with my purchase.

Fortunately/unfortunately the weather has been so good that I've been wearing sandals every day but I'm currently working in Sydney where it's winter, so the trainers will be making regular appearances.

And the purchasing may not stop at 2 pairs, how goddamn gorgeous are these by Raf Simons for Adidas?

And what about these paint splattered beauties?
