MASSIMO DUTTI: Fringe Bluchers and Sneakers review

Dear friends,

I want to share with you my two beautiful autumny buys. It is two pairs of shoes from Massimo Dutti.

1. Black Fringe Bluchers

I have seen something similar at TOD's, the options are incredibly beautiful (and of course, brand is know for its comfortable shoe wear), the quality and colour combinations are superb, however unfortunately they are also fairly expensive. The price for the models that I fancied starts from £300.

As this style currently is very much in fashion and I was not keen on being "yet another" girl , who's wearing tasselled loafers (I love the style, but to be fair with you, I am quite tired to see them literally everywhere! Those, who have a pair, - don't hate me! :)) , I started to look for alternatives and quickly found a decent option from one of my beloved and trusted brands, - Massimo Dutti.

The lining is 100% sheep leather and the cut is made of 100% cow leather.

They are comfortable, stylish, not too masculine looking, great with trench and cropped skinny black trousers (or recently I have seen similar style worn with a burgundy colour leather skirt and it looked so great!). Loving them!

PS The fringe detail is also removable! So it is "two in one"!

Price: £79.95, currently available on massimodutti.com

2.Black Sneakers

Smart lifestyle sneakers was another thing that I was looking for.

Those that are not for the gym, but everyday hectic life. A style, that would allow to look presentable, while moving fast in crowded city jungles.

And again, I did not want to opt for a New Balance option, which is so popular right now!

These have a nice combination of fabric and leather lining and same as the first model, - they are very comfortable.

Price: £59.95. Currently on massimodutti.com .

PS Thanks for the pictures: www.massimodutti.com

I believe that's it for now, I still have to make a post about our relatively recent trip to York.

And what you are up to the Autumn? Any shopping joys you want to share?

IN SEARCH OF PERFECT TRAINERS / В ПОИСКАХ СУПЕР КРОССОВОК

Hello there,

as I have started to attend fitness classes I am quite into sportswear right now.

I had no idea that there are so many styles of trainers (e.g. Football, Running, for everyday city life, Training etc.) and they feel so different when you try them on.

The best style to match my needs and also the most comfortable, lightweight, flexible and soft in the ankle area (at least personally for myself) appeared to be Nike Free Training 5 Breathe .

I really enjoy wearing them and would definitely recommend them for those who need trainers for regular fitness classes!

Всем привет,

поскольку с недавнего времени я по-немножечку начала заниматься спортом, вопрос спортивной одежды и, в частности, обуви для меня стал особенно актуален.

Перемерив множество моделей кроссовок (я и предположить не могла, что некоторые из них, в зависимости от назначения. могут настолько сильно отличаться по уровню комфорта на ноге) я пришла к выводу, что наиболее подходящая для меня модель от Nike это Free TR 5 Breathe (см. на фото ниже).

Эти кроссовки очень легкие и практически невесомые, с эффектом гибкой подошвы, что идеально подходит для моих занятий фитнесом. Еще, они исключительно мягкие в задней части (там где щиколотка) и это очень здорово, так как я могу с удовольствием носить их даже на голую ногу!

Так что всем, кто находится в поиске, обязательно рекомендую померить и присмотреться!
