Swedish brand Eytys and their take on the platform sneaker trend


Hey guys, today’s blog post is going to be on a new brand I have discovered called Eytys. This Swedish based brand is collaborating with many of the top fashion influencers (for example Kailee Mckenzie) so I figured they were worth checking out. One of their most popularized items I’ve seen is their Angel shoe (which I am completely obsessed with). The shoe is a play on the platform dad sneaker trend that everyone has been loving this season, but if were being honest who can afford Balenciaga’s Triple S sneakers? Even though the Angel shoe is still at a high price point of $340.00 US, this seems a bit more attainable for those of us not wanting to dish out 900+ for a trend that probably won’t last much longer. Not only is the price more attractive, the versions of this shoe are much more subdued and could remain a classic in your shoe collection. They have 4 different variations of the shoe, one being a black leather pair, the second a tan suede, and two canvas pairs. This seems to be more appealing to me because a lot of the dad shoes I’ve seen are in some pretty crazy colour-ways, which don’t get me wrong is fun, but personally if I’m investing in something I want to be able to wear it with anything. Not only do they cater to the dad shoe trend, but they also have these epic loafer style platform trail shoes called the Angelo Leather available in Black, and Cabernet. These are a unique take on the platform trend that I can’t say I’ve seen yet, but I am also loving these. Overall, I’ve heard amazing things on the quality this brand puts out, and I am excited to see where else they go with their designs in the future.







So what do you guys think? Would you invest in these over the Balenciaga’s Triple S sneakers, or do you think that the platform/dad shoes trend will die out before you find the money?

Check out Eytys for more awesome shoes at a great quality and price (they also have some awesome Raw denim trousers).

History of the Maison Margiela Tabi Boots

Today we are going to be talking about one of my favourite brands being Margiela, and more specifically a product that has been forever on my designer wishlist, the Tabi boot. Now if you guys are unaware of this famous boot, fear not I will explain. At first glance they look like a regular black leather boot, but look closer and you see the unique split toe detail that resembles a hoofed foot. I remember the first time I saw a photo of these, and I was instantly taken back, and if we're being honest a little creeped out. But as I kept seeing them the intrigue grew, and I started to understand why these boots were an iconic Margiela staple. So lets take a peak into how these famous shoes became what they are today. The origin of this tabi design dates back to Japan in the 1400s. Originally they were split toe socks made to be worn with thong sandals, and were made when Japan began importing cotton from China. Marin Margiela first discovered this silhouette while on a trip ...

Why we need to start shopping Second-Hand

If you guys have gotten the chance to watch my outfits of the week , and personal stylevideo you already know that I love a good piece from the thrift store. As mentioned in my personal style video, going to a second hand, or vintage store can help inspire you to try something that is “one of a kind,” or even a past trend you can make relevant again. Also, who doesn’t love the “hunt” experience gained from thrifting? I don’t know about you guys but sorting through all of the rough to find that one diamond is almost like a high to me. And if you’re in a second-hand store, another bonus is the price. One of my most memorable finds was a $3.00 PVC smiley face backpack I saw on Depop days earlier for $60.00. Granted I don’t do this every time I shop as it can be time consuming. So not only can you find super unique items (as well as classics) to add to wardrobe at good prices, but you are also doing your part to reduce the demand for brand new clothing. A...
