Vans Sk8Hi Slims in (Leather) Black/True White Review

Vans Sk8Hi Slims in (Leather) Black/True White 

Retail Price:~$75.00

I don't even know where to start with these shoes! I absolutely adore them and are definitely going to be my new staple shoes for the rest of Winter, Spring and Summer! These are the Vans Sk8Hi Slims in (Leather) Black/True White and this is my review! As some of you might know, I work for Vans but this review on these are 100% honest! 

The Back Story: Through the almost two years I have been with Vans, I've really seen how much their fashion for women has become more on trend and stylish with their apparel besides just Logo T-Shirts, Zip-Up Hoodies, a few cute pieces and just regular skinny jeans! Needless to say this Spring collection doesn't have one thing I dislike! This collection is edgy, just the way I like it! When I saw that we had all these new things, I got very excited, let's just say that! With this 2014 Spring Collection these leather Sk8Hi Slims took me by surprise and I decided to pick these bad boys up the other day because I HAD to have them!

My Review: These Sk8Hi Slims I feel like really capture my entire style which is edgy, authentic, classic, girly and definitely eclectic! It's a ton of different styles all into one, it's a very weird unpredictable combo but, somehow it all pairs great together! I love how the leather on these Sk8Hi Slims can bring edginess to an outfit without being too masculine or chunky. With my feet, shoes can easily make it break an outfit and will make my feet look chunky and disproportionate to my body. I am petite and wear either a 5-5.5 depending on the brand. With Vans, my definite size is a womens 5 since I have narrow feet and Vans do run about a half size bigger in comparison to a "True to Size" shoe. So, let's say I put an Authentic on, for me personally, the shoe will look very strange because of the thicker, chunky sole of the shoe. With these Sk8Hi Slims, I had my doubts about them looking good on me since they do have a thicker sole compared to what I normally wear which are the Authentic Lo Pros or Hadleys! But, to a pleasant surprise these Slims don't make me look disproportionate or make my feet look huge! These shoes have such great quality to them and are totally COMFORTABLE, I can't stress those two things enough! The leather is soft yet sturdy and not flimsy which is a must in my wardrobe since I am out doors, hiking up to bike parks tracking through mud sometimes! These shoes were made to be stylish, versatile and ready to take on any kind of situation since they do have the Waffle Grip on the bottom of the shoe which is great when you need traction! Yesterday, when I wore them to the bike park I tracked through the mud, when I got home I wiped them off with a damp paper towel and they totally look like I haven't wore them which is the best! I love everything about these shoes because they are handmade, great quality, affordable, edgy, stylish, totally comfortable and won't get trashed compared to some of my canvas shoes. If any of you stop at a Vans store and are wanting something a little edgy, I definitely recommend giving these a shot, you might not like them on display, but once you put them on, it's magic! 

P.S: Sorry for not posting in awhile! I've been super busy working on new content! Tell me what you guys want to see me review next! 

XOXO

Let's start off with, I've been working on this for the past couple days! Sorry for being MIA but, this picture is so worth it, right?! Right ;)

So, modeling is literally one of my all time favorite things to do. It relaxes me and I love everything about it, maybe because I'm a tad bit narcissistic. To me, modeling is my ability to express myself in pictures and showing that yeah, I might be little but that's not going to stop me from pursuing my dreams. 

I seriously love that Megan the photographer from Divineskye Photography and I work so well together and have a lot of fun! I've had shoots where the photographer doesn't really get me and my personality and isn't really clear on a vision or direction which doesn't help me as the model know what I need to do, how I need to pose, what I need to do with my face, etc. With Megan, it's like magic and we get so many "money shots" as I call them, because she has a very creative outlook and a vision that I understand and know what I need to do, to work it! 

Since this is a fashion and beauty blog, let me tell you about what I'm wearing! For this shoot, we really went for a wintery kind of direction since it is winter out here in Colorado! So, I took inspiration from New York winter fashion with an edgy kind of vibe. I absolutely LOVE leopard print, I always have and always will! Which is why these Sk8Hi Wedges from Vans made me base an outfit around them! They're such a bold and different shoe which is why I wore them again for this shoot! 

Vans is kind of a theme in my wardrobe since I do work for them and their clothes really reflect me as a person! Classic, different, edgy, a little eclectic and definitely trendy! I can't even tell you how much I love the brand and especially this dress I'm wearing by them! Now, we got this during back to school season and I'm still wearing it, even though it's the middle of winter! I love the lace detail in this dress and the modest neckline which gives the look such a feminie feel to this overall photo shoot. Winter isn't really on my side when it comes to wanting to wear pieces that I love and that's why I paired it with these black pantyhose with silver glitter detail on the side from Forever 21 and this leopard studded cardigan from Pacsun! If I didn't have these pieces to keep me warm, I would have literally died!

I mean come on...this bunny hat pulls this entire outfit together!! So this is Megan's bunny ear hat and it's literally the softest thing I've EVER put onto my head and I love how much more Asian it makes me look! The more Asian I look, the better!

For my makeup, I kept it very simple, neutral and pretty. I felt like since my outfit was so bold, I really needed to keep my face simple so it wouldn't look so overwhelming and I'm so happy I kept it neutral! All I did was my foundation, contoured my face a little heavier as normal since I was being photographed, swiped a champagne color all over my lid, a black winged eyeliner, a nude lip with a nude lipgloss, mascara and a pair of lashes! 

I'll be back on daily with new content!
