First flatforms, then sneaker wedges and now Birkenstocks…I can totally see now why straight men would hate fashion. Since around 2011, shoe trends have had approximately 0 sex appeal, which not everyone is a fan of…but it does make for a fantastic fashion challenge. Whether you love them or you hate them, Birkenstocks are the latest to take off in ugly shoe trends. So the question is…will you give in?
In perfect timing with my return home from London, Ted Baker (a UK staple) is throwing a Fall shopping event this Thursday…and guess who’s the host?
If you’re familiar at all with Sandro you may know that the brand has been around for quite some time (since 1984 to be exact) so you may be thinking to yourself…why would Jena be spotlighting a designer that’s been around for nearly 30 years? Well because as much as I like to stay on top of all things fashion, I clearly missed something and only knew about Sandro within the last 3 years or so. And after spending some time in Paris recently (and by recently I mean just last week) the word SANDRO has been drilled into my head. And today, we’re going to talk about it.
After my Refinery29 feature a few weeks ago, I got a hold of the hundreds of outtakes from the shoot and because they were so fun, I just couldn’t let them go to waste. We took a bunch of photos in my home office so I thought it would be cool to show you a glimpse of my day at work…except I’m normally in my pajamas hunched over my computer.
Right before I left for London, I shared with you some of my favorite British fashion designers but because there were too many to fit into one post, a part 2 was definitely in order. So now that I’m back in the states, I’m just going to continue to gush over how much I love the fashion in London and also how fantastic it is that the city supports their ever-growing fashion scene (Chicago, take note).
