Converse trainers?

In my long life of 13 years, I have owned two pairs of converse trainers. Many people at my school seem to own these trainers as well and they have become a household name. But what is it that makes these trainers so very special?

I remember when I got my first pair of black pair of All Stars. My mum had got me them for my 10th birthday, and I had thought that it was about time. I had seen the logo every wear on peoples shoes, at school discos to my grandmothers 70th birthday party. But the first thing I said when I saw them was "Who's Chuck Taylor?"


A few years after my mums short reply of "Google it.", I got another pair as my feet had grown quite a bit.

The reason that I got these trainers are because they are so simple to wear everyday. You can wear them with virtually any outfit. Wise words of Demi Lovato, who said I can't wear my converse with my dress?

And that is exactly what people do nowadays. Not only are they easily worn, but in my opinion, they are comfy and they are designed well. The only problem with mine were that the lace was too long. A year of double knotting easily solved the problem but, if you're not lazy like me, you could always buy a shorter lace.

Overall, I believe that converse trainers are probably the most common and popular trainers worn by teenagers and that they have earned that title due to their sturdiness and  iconic design.

What can you tell from the nail colour someone wears?

Wearing nail polish can be one of the most simple ways to add colour to you outfit. People can get nail vanish from nearly every cosmetics store you go into, with a wide range of colour. But what does a specific colour mean about a person who wears it all the time? In my opinion, the nail colours people wear very often, such as everyday, reflects a small part of there personality or who they would like to be seen as. My theory may not be entirely true, but I thought it would be interesting to record my ides

I sat down with a pen and paper thinking about colours in general and what they reflect about the person wearing them and their mood. So her is the outcome of my brainstorming.:
 (Note: Please note these are just thoughts, sorry if you find any of this offensive.)

Pink Nail Polish = People who wear pink nail polish are probably the stereo typical girly-girl. But they might just be fashion cautious - Pink is the easiest nail colour for a girl to wear and not be faulted on.
NAIL PAINT - BRIGHT PINK
£2.99 at Barry M 

Red Nail Polish =They like to be in control of situations and are probably the ones trying to sort things out.
DIOR VERNIS
£15.30 at Escentual 
Orange Nail Polish= As orange is a very bold colour, the person wearing it might be bold as well as outgoing.
RIOT GEAR NAIL LAQUER
$16.00 at MAC
Yellow Nail Polish =They are usually happy and bright. They don't like trouble and like everyone being friendly while focus on the good things in life.
CHEEKY CHOPS NAIL LACQUER
$15.00 at Butter LONDON


Green Nail Polish = They are the calm member of the friendship circle who knows a thing or two about fashion. They are in touch with the elements and are very classy.
FIRST TIMER
$8.00 at essie
Blue Nail Polish = This nail varnish is for people who are calm and very friendly. They know when and when not to get involved, but will step up if they hear you were talking sh*t.
I LOVE LASTING FINISH: SWEET AS SUGAR
£2.99 at RIMMEL LONDON

Purple Nail Polish = Just like pink, purple is probably for girly girls but is probably a little less girly/ The stereotypical/punk emo who keeps to themselves.
OPI PLUGGED-IN PLUM NAIL LACQUER
£4.99 at Amazon
Brown Nail Polish = Brown nail polish means being casual and you are probably very intelligent.
RGB MINK
£16.00 at RGB

Black/Gold/Silver Nail Polish = They like to make statements and couldn't care less what anyone thinks as long as they feel themselves.
NAIL PAINT - DIAMOND
£2.99 at Barry M
NAIL PAINT - GOLD GLITTER
£2.99 at Barry M

NAIL PAINT - BLACK
£2.99 at Barry M
All in all nail colours are an important part of any prima-fashionistas outfit. Check back for more updates!x
