The Converse Wade

Basketball superstar Dwyane Wade first created his own signature shoe, the Converse WADE, in 2005. Now he has a variety of signature shoes that he's worn over the years, and he's also been a part of the first apparel line Converse has developed for a professional athlete. For more info on Converse All-Stars, check out this previous post.

Converse All-Stars

The most successful shoe in history, the Converse All-Stars originally gained popularity when basketball player Chuck Taylor started wearing them. They were first only available in black and later in white. But now they can be found in a variety of styles, materials, colors and prints! Some very cute prints are available and you can even make your own at the Converse website.

I'm also loving how Twilight’s Kristen Stewart has once again popularized this sneaker brand. Below I've included a photo from an amazing Vanity Fair photo shoot of the Twilight cast and an image of Kristen Stewart wearing a Yigal Azrouël dress at this year's MTV Movie Awards.

Shoshanna Made with Love Charlotte Ronson

It girls and best friends Charlotte Ronson and Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss collaborated this season on a bathing suit and beach line called Shoshanna Made With Love Charlotte Ronson. With this collection they brought us cute colorful printed bikinis and cover-ups. Even still, the pair went to highschool together in New York City on the Upper East Side, at a school rumored to have inspired Gossip Girl! Read more about Charlotte Ronson and Shoshanna in these previous postings.

The Birkenstock

Birk's are back and as compfy as ever. This German shoe brand allows the sole's of their shoes to mold to your feet. I have the Gizeh style for the summer, but the clogs are cute for cooler days too. Not just for granola's anymore! I've also included here some Birkenstock designs by Heidi Klum.

L*Space

I'm currently obsessed with L*Space swimwear this season. The blue, chocolate, tangerine and plum solid colours are my faves, in the twist bandeau tops and tab bottoms. But they're also some great prints that can all be mixed and matched. Lots of celebs are wearing this brand, like Jessica Alba, Audrina Patridge, AnnaLynne McCord and Lindsay Lohan. As far as I know this brand is currently only available at online stores for Canadians, but there are a number of online locations that do ship internationally.
