Spring’s latest arrivals are invading stores and sites alike, and we’re super pumped to finally be able to purchase all of the pieces on our wish lists. Yes, the weather isn’t quite cooperating at the moment (thanks, polar vortex), but that doesn’t mean we’re putting our summer footwear purchases on hold—this season’s top sandal silhouette, the slide, is […]

Thanks to the likes of Phoebe Philo, Isabel Marant and of course, Yeezy, sneakers have been on a fashion upswing for the past few years. No longer just functional, they’ve risen to the top of the heap with the stylish equivalent of bells and whistles: heels, studs, snakeskin and more. Fashion’s sneaker foray has also brought forth some seriously genius high-low collaborations, including Maison Martin Margiela x Converse, Riccardo Tisci x Nike and most recently Versace for Superga. And with the athletic trend showing little signs of backing down, it’s no wonder designers are kicking up their sneaker game for yet another season.

Here, we’ve rounded up 8 amazing sneaker collaborations that have us head over high-tops.

Having traveled from Halifax to Toronto for the past three years to document up and coming fashion, beauty and street style trends for my site Lion Hunter, I’ve come to accept the madness of fashion week. This season, as an online editorial intern at FASHION, I get to experience fashion week differently, having already been in the city for a few months and working for the magazine. Each day will still bring worries of failing to squeeze in a quick bite between shows, publishing up to date content and finding a moment to rest before the next day rolls in. Thankfully, concern over my sartorial choices is the least of these.

My approach to figuring out outfits leads to a heap of gathered wares from my favourite thrift and vintage stores that I’ve slowly collected since the lights dimmed last season. Vintage trinkets and jewellery, a plethora of prints and dope heels that I will curse at the end of each day, are all under scrutiny. As a frugal shopper I’ve found ways to create street style worthy looks without making my bank account sweat. I put together possible looks out of that pile of goodness allowing myself to change them due to last minute thrift store finds or an inspired trade of pieces between outfits. The upside of taking in Toronto Fashion Week is a prior month worth of street style inspiration from New York, London, Paris and Milan to inspire a week’s worth of looks.

In the spirit of anything goes when dressing for fashion week, here are 3 inexpensive looks that are worthy of a little show and tell.

Are we going out on a limb when we say that we can’t think of anyone who isn’t a Jeffrey Campbell diehard? We think not. From the cheap and cheerful price range to the exceedingly colourful and covetable designs (Lita boot, anyone?), JC has got so many fans that it might as well be the name of a popstar. Now, the covet bar has been raised even higher with the brand’s new line of handbags, cleverly titled “Girls We Hated in High School.” Available in June exclusively in Canada at Little Burgundy, check out the festival themed bags below! Colour (pattern?) us OBSESSED!

In a sea of black and brown shades, why not shine back at the sun (while protecting your eyes from its harmful rays) with these cheery yellow shades by Spitfire ($35, littleburgundy.com)? We love the vintage-esque Wayfarer shape without paying the triple digits for Ray-Bans.
