A few weeks ago I was invited by the fabulous Canoe communications agency to a UK blogger Crocs styling project, and on Thursday Dave and I headed down to London ready to take part. We were welcome with an amazing array of fruits and croissants in the Canoe Showroom, so obviously I started the day by scoffing strawberries and a Danish pastery (or two). We were then given an interesting talk on the history of Crocs, how they started and how much they've evolved as a brand- starting off with the love/hate original Clog Croc, and now producing over 200 different styles. After the morning talk we headed outside the showroom onto Brick Lane ready to start shooting our different looks.
I chose to style one of their new SS13 lines, the Beachline Boat Shoes. Coming in a variety of fun colours they're a cute and quirky shoe for the summer- I cannot even begin to explain how extremely comfortable they are, each step is like a little massage! I think my favourites were the red and white ones, wonderfully nautical and I love the way they looked with distressed denim.
The Boat Shoes were surprisingly easy to style, each colour fitting in nicely with my usual outfits. One trend I've been loving at the moment (if you can't already tell) is white out. Accessorizing an all white outfit with a pop of colour gives it that extra kick and brings the trend right into summer, so the Fuchsia and Volt Green pair were perfect for that! They're really versatile, looking great with a rolled up jean as well as with shorts or a playsuit.
After the street style shoot we headed to Pizza East in Shoreditch where I had one of the best Margarita pizza's ever. It was amazing to meet new bloggers, I did some of the shooting with the lovely Kavita from She Wears Fashion and also met Ngoni form I Am NRC, Leroy from Diary of A Clothes Horse, Lois from Bunni Punch, Remi from Hands of Stye and Lela from Lela London. I had such an incredible day and I can't thank Canoe enough for having us, the event was so much fun and unlike anything I'd done before. You can see more from the day on the #imstylingcrocs hashtag on twitter.
So what do you all think of how I've styled Crocs? Will you be getting a pair for summer? You can shop the entire Crocs range online here.
