New In... My Shoedrobe | New Balance 410s

There was a time when I would only wear trainers to go to the gym, but for almost a year now trainers have really become the flat shoe of choice to either dress down outfits or simply for the comfort factor. Last year, the statement trainer trend (check out my post on the subject) elevated sneakers to high fashion status, and I was tempted in by a pair of burgundy New Balance 410s. The trend has become the norm now but it seems palette wise, trainers have moved on from last season's muted hues (white Adidas Stan Smiths; burgundy NB 410s) and taken a dive head first into bright colours and prints.

Case in point: my new NB 410s in black leopard, pink and green, with piped green laces (buy them here). I self gifted these bad boys to myself just before Christmas and broke them out in dreary January! They sound scary but they are actually pretty neutral with a pop of colour, and rather easy to wear, not to mention perfect for my current new mummy-on-the-go status!

Neon hues and eye-catching printed sneakers are also the order of the day in New Balance's current and very covetable collaboration with Kate Spade Saturday.
