Summer Sneakers | Chic Tennies to Wear Now

Happy FriYAY! I’m writing to you from my Michigan hometown today, as I indulge in a little family time with my growing boy. Photos to come later… but for now, I wanted to talk all things sneakers. Because really, it’s basically all I wear now.

Since having Evan, I’m nearly always in flats. Nine-inch stilettos just don’t work attempting to nurse a baby. So, sneakers it is — super CHIC sneakers that still make me feel stylish while balancing a trillion changes at home. I can pair them with denim, dresses, and workout clothes, which makes life super easy.

I shared a handful of my favorite sneakers below. The best? This summer pair of tennies by Here/Now.  Something about the embroidered palm trees puts me in a happy mood, and they’re SO COMFY! I’m also loving sneakers with a small platform, because they give me a little height while avoiding heels… win-win!

I love these summer-like sneakers by Here/Now for every day. They’re casual enough to wear anywhere, yet stylish enough to wear dinner or an event and still stand out.

In love, love, love with my APL sneaks! This shoe is crazy comfortable and (super!) lightweight. You can do your normal workout in these tennies AND pair them with a casual outfit if you’re going out. I especially love this shoe for its ability to be both practical and stylish.

I’m also in love with this metallic pair of sneakers by Valentino. Definitely a splurge, but I wear them so often because they feel like a dressed-up version of a sneaker — chic enough to wear to even with a dress!
