And back in the room.

Ok here we go.  My most favourite, most practical footwear every.  TRAINERS.  Or sneakers.  You decide.  I am confident in saying these have become most definitely a classic in our wardrobes.  For me, they are the number one must haves to transform an outfit from a couple of years ago, into a perfect S/S16 number. 

I will confess I have only been an adopter in the last couple of years but when it comes to adopting trainers, I am the Angelina Jolie equivalent.  Obsessed.  I am a shoe addict that's for sure so it's not hard for me fall in love with a style but this might be a cut above my usual footwear relationship. 

I'm just going to throw it out there - it's the comfort factor.  Gimmer alert, these are just perfect for every day throwing on and not feeling like you need a hip replacement by lunchtime. 

And now, there is a style and a price point to suit everyone.  I wear them all the time (if you haven't noticed) although I do only (only she says..) have four pairs.  At the moment (ha ha) they are keeping me going and I am definitely getting my moneys worth.  Does that count as an addiction?  Small fry I appreciate to the true trainer buffs out there.  I am a mere beginner...

But they don't have to be expensive and this is a quick look - inspired by a foray into Topshop yesterday when they have brought out some options which it really is too rude to ignore. 

These are amazing for the money. 

Copenhagen Star Trainer from Topshop £26

But my find of the week is definitely the Caper trainer (you do actually get two of them...) in leather from Topshop for a wondrous £26.

In the blue



Caper Lace up trainer in burgundy (this is actually red - I saw them instore today) from Topshop £26



And in the black. 




Toulouse Lace up Trainer £52




More leather options at M&S.  These are perfect as an entry level.  The ultimate in elegance.  And yes I do believe a trainer can now be elegant.

Leather Lace up trainers from Autograph £49.50



If you don't want white white then they a grey version - I would say more of a stone but the perfect muted shade if you don't want a bright white. 

In the grey £49.50



Leather look now but a bargain if you just want to give the look a go... 

New Look leather look trainers £12.99



More detail at Pull & Bear.

Pull & Bear White Stitch Detail Trainer £25.99



Another version of a heel detail at ASOS.  Flatform now which isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea but I don't think it's too in your face Spice Girls. 

ASOS Dion Flatform £25.00



A really good looking staple now in a couple of colours.  I am a huge huge coloured trainer fan which is ironic when I'm not that big on colour.. (admittedly I do only have one pair).

ASOS Drew Lace Up Trainer in yellow £25



And in the pink.. again £25
