When wedge sneakers hit the fashion scene last year, was it a trend you thought you’d never try? It wasn’t exactly love at first sight for me, but you know I’ve never met a shoe I didn’t like… (except Crocs. Sorry, Crocs.)
Isabel Marant’s* uber-trendy platform wedge sneakers first took the fashion world by storm when street-stylers proved they could be worn both day or night. For me, they’re mainly a comfortable alternative to a daytime heel for weekend errands (or, let’s be honest, Sunday Funday).
My moment of Zsa Zsa Zu (ahem, anyone?) came as I was researching my post on 21 pairs of affordable wedge sneakers. I instantly and immediately obsessed over Rebecca Taylor’s cheetah version, so I kept a close on them over time. Incidentally, the only size they had left (mine) went on sale on my birthday and were even further reduced on Black Friday. Fate/no brainer, right?
I tweeted about my find after I made the purchase, which I believe peer pressured prompted my blogging bud Katie to make the same investment. That’s why we’re linking up today to show you two ways to style the sneaker wedge trend.
Click over to her blog, Pearls and Twirls, to see how she wears her Rebecca Taylor sneaks. Then, if you’re not sure where to start to shop this trend, check out my list of favorite affordable sneaker wedges.
*Wearing: Blazer c/o Ann Taylor | Rebecca Taylor Isa wedges (sold out, similar; also love this pair + this pair) |
J Brand skinny jeans | vintage t-shirt | Foley + Corinna mid-city tote
*I had a hard time pronouncing this designer’s name at first, so take note from my lessons learned the hard way — Isabel Marant is pronounced “Ees-ah-bell Mar-awn(t),” soft T. May take you a few trys, but you you’ll get it.
Have a great weekend! The second installment of my Gossip Girl Fashion Copycat series is coming on Monday, so stay tuned.

Seriously girl, GET A PAIR! I was shocked how comfortable and versatile they are. You won’t be disappointed!

Love! This was seriously so fun and I love the way you styled the sneaks with your white blazer and that beanie is just too cute!
P.S. love the name of this post, I’ll definitely wearing these guys again this weekend!
Happy Friday!

I just purchased a pair of Zigi’s from ShoeDazzle. I haven’t received them yet, but I’m worried about styling them. I’ve never been a sneakers kind of gal, but I like the idea of a comfortable wedge shoe for the weekend.

Yea … your sneaker wedges have me speechless. The fact that they are leopard … I’m just in awe.

Hahaha, thanks girl. I felt the same when I first laid eyes on them online! Hope you have an awesome weekend

I admit, I haven’t been a huge fan of them. But your all-leopard ones are definitely cute. Less sneaker and more cute and casual. Love the way you styled them!

I am a huuuge wedge sneaker fan! When I first saw them in stores I was ecstatic. I love heels but sneakers are just so comfy & make a casual outfit cute! Absolutely love the leopard ones you bought.

LOVE these! I seriously would have NEVER worn sneaker wedges until I saw you rocking these (…at Sunday Funday…
. I like that the cheetah print makes them a little more glam than other sneaker styles. I love it when someone converts me on a trend, so nice work!
