Laced up.



Summers IT shoe has to be non other than "Ghillies", or lace ups, as we know them. Originating from the dance form of ballet, these shoes are usually worn by Irish, Scottish and highland dancers. However, Now that this trend has taken over the high street, there are many versions of lace ups available. From flats and sandals to heels and boots, lace up shoes are everywhere. This summer (well the one week we got of sunshine) has really seen lace up shoes become the number one choice.

Personally, any shoes with character speak out to me (yes, they can talk). That's why I feel plain flats are too basic so naturally I go for heeled shoes. However, lace ups have made it fun for me to wear flats again. They add character and a stylish touch to any outfit as well as maintaining the comfort factor.

Lace ups can be worn with anything from skirts, jeans, dresses, shorts and culottes to simple holiday outfits. Whether you buy lace up flats, lace up heels, lace up boots or lace up gladiators; be sure to have at least one pair of lace ups in your wardrobe for this summer. Or actually, even for the upcoming seasons because they'll be staying for a while. So Make sure you're laced up!!!!
