Mules the Shoe to be Slipping into this Summer!

Mules were once a practical form of footwear worn by Europeans in the Middle Ages, by the 20^th century believe it or not mules were style strongly associated with prostitutes!

 Marylin Monroe can be herald as the game changer, the glamorous blonde bombshell re-invented the styling of mule, in which is one of the most covet style picks of today.

The 90’s was when the mule shoes reached an epidemic, during which time we couldn’t get enough of the likes of Carrie Bradshaw’s infectious loyalty to the trend. It may be fifteen years later, but this spring summer mules are officially back! This season they are back and back with vengeance, in designs that are more sophisticated than ever, where you can explore your style with style picks that are thong inspired to flats, heeled, wedged, and everything in between!

This season Kenzo, Jason Wu and Versace with their Perspex heel design are just few designers that have put their signature stamp on the 90’s comeback pick.

If there is one shoe to be rocking out this summer it’s indefinitely the mule. The styling possibilities are endless, not to forget to mention that they are super chic and comfy too which is a rarity combo you can hardly find with any shoe styles!

Mules are super versatile shoe that you can pair with looks for the office to your down town off duty looks, they are even a great little transitional number which looks cool paired with ankle socks, giving you that uber cool fashion forward aesthetic that will have heads turning.

Trending: Circle Bags

Fashion week is creeping up on us faster than we know it, a couple of weekends to chill and we’re practically there. I have to admit, this has got me in a spot of bother because as usual I have no idea what I’ll be wearing!

It’s a little tradition of mine to get a little fashion week buy. Investing in a decent designer accessory is the way to go, you can get an extensive cost per wear from an accessory, which to me is the sensible route to go if don’t want to to chuck out a tatty impulse buy in a matter of weeks. I personally would much prefer to invest in a single item and treasure it forever, possibly even keeping it for the grandkids so they can have a little vintage in their lives.

Each season I do like to look at the trends as it helps to inspire my wardrobe buys, this season there’s no escaping certain trends, the bucket bag is one of them, a bag style I’d actually quite like and would love to work designer number into my everyday repertoire.

In addition to bucket bags, Circle bags are also trending. It’s a style pick that can almost work with any look and I’m in love with this season styles which embrace crazy prints and adornments in a rainbow of hues. A circle bag should have a rightful place on any fashionista’s accessory rack, they are not as big and as clumsy as the bucket bag, which is why I’ll be investing in a lightweight number as my fashion week buy because it’s a great alternative to a clutches in which I only tend favour a good old oversize, not to forget to mention the practicality of a circle piece which will make my life easier whilst snapping all the marvellous street style looks as I can easily perched it over my shoulder.

Chanel can be herald as this designer brand as the initiator of the circle bag epidemic, last season Karl Largefled sent his models down the runway with the gigantic hola hoop inspired bag. This season Marc by Marc Jacobs and Versace are a just a couple of designers that have adopted and developed the circle bag into their own stylish practical everyday pieces which have the stylish qualities to enhance any look.
