Holly’s Latest Pick Up

It was round about last month that I was on the hunt for my pair of ‘Summer kicks”. The sun finally turned out for pretty much all of us in the UK, guaranteed thoughts turned to our wardrobe! My eyes were peeled all over the place, then I suddenly had thoughts of my last TRUSTY pair of AM90′s that I’d sold after literally living in them the whole of summer 2012. All these memories just rushing back! Decision made, 90′s Summer crepes need to be got!

Next day I see this posted by Wellgosh

Telling all the ladies they’ve got size 3-6, so I had to share that on the Big Eyes Facebook page.

The colourways on these are just silly jazzy, all three elidgable for a purchase. Now, I am incredibly lucky with my shoe size UK 6 – the most average plain sailing, level pegging, loving life sized feet you’re going to meet. I can get most releases if I want. Unfortunately being a pauper art student, I can’t strictly afford all the crepes I’d love to, as it’s usually spent on hundreds of rolls of film, sketchbooks and all that malarkey.

About a week later, I visited Selfridges in the Bullring, had a little meander round, of course  going to the Offspring concession (Birmingham being my home town). They had the 90′s of choice in. I had to buy them straight away, no hesitation! Do they fit me? Yes, thank you here’s my money, and a student discount? Thank you very much!

The speckeled base on the toe box and around the ankle and the camo colours really fit in well with other colour schemes I wear.  They had both the ice blue and the metallic silver, but I HAD to go with the camo ones. Both available at Wellgosh still, from sizes 3-6 (links above).

Here they are in action, at my studio space! Infamous furniture in there also!

We love seeing your pick ups just as much as we love to wear ours, so tweet us @BigEyesLittleSoles and @ us on Insta @BigEyesLittleSoles

Peaceeee

Yani’s Latest Pick Up

I’ve been looking to branch out and add some more brands to my repertoire and then these beauties caught my eye!

I literally haven’t been able to take them off, they’re so comfy and they look SO good on. With a similar sort of silhouette to the AM1, I found it easy to get used to looking down over these.

Adidas Originals Women’s Tech Super


It’s impossible to take them off, super supportive and really comfy! It’s frsutrating when the pattern doesn’t go with my outift! For once, the laces on these kicks aren’t massively long… Finally a brand has realised that smaller feet need shorter laces! Thanks Adidas!

Now to see if I can pick up the lighter pair anywhere!

Get yours here

Vans Animal Slip-Ons

Big eyes, really really little soles…. Now this is one for the teenie tiny feet, so Mum’s and Dad’s break out the wallet for the coolest kicks your toddler will ever wear!

I know a lot of girls and guys are going to be jealous because these aren’t for feet any bigger than a Kids UK10…. but I found these too damn cute to resist sharing with you! Man how I wish I was toddler size 4-10….

A good one for any Mum’s lookin’ to step up their baba’s sneaker game. I know if I was a toddler with monkies, panda’s and dinosaurs on my feet I would have been dancing before I was walking.

You Can cop these on sale at any Vans Store or online at www.blacksheepstore.co.uk…. man  I wish I had tiny baby feet! There are also a few more animal style-ways for spring 2013 including a black panther and a zebra! So, so dope.

Mama’s and Papa’s instagram / tweet a picture of your toddler in these if you have em’! instagram: @bigeyeslittlesoles / twitter: @bigeyeslilsoles would be great to see em’ in action.

Peace & Love!

Yani’s NYC Kicks Pick Ups

I’ve recently got back from New York and Miami and after dealing with the post holiday blues I thought I’d show you the kicks I picked up!

I didn’t go mad as my plans were to spend most of my money on food so here they are!

Nike Air Max 95 GS ‘Cool Grey/Cool Grey-Volt-Black’

Vans Sk8-Hi ‘Black/Black’

I definitely ended up with two pairs of shoes from opposite ends of the spectrum! The Air Max 95s are in a colourway I’d not seen over in the UK and the grey suede upper is so soft it drew me in instantly.. To top it all off, the volt outsole, laces, sock liner and branding made this shoe stand out for MILES! Not only did they massively accentuate my tan by the end of the holiday but people stared at them wherever I went! I love these 95s!

Now onto the SK8-His. It seems that every time I buy a pair of SK8-His the main colour of their upper is black. Don’t ask me why but I guess it’s just a running theme! These may seem plain and boring compared to the 95s BUT I think they look amazing with everything: dresses, skirts, shorts, jeans… EVERYTHING!

One thing I noticed whilst in America is not only that way more girls were wearing trainers and that Jordan’s are the shoe of choice for most sneaker heads out there.. But that there’s just so much more choice for those of us with smaller feet.

Anyway.. what I want to know is.. What kicks have you copped lately?

Let us know on Instagram @bigeyeslittlesoles and Twitter @bigeyeslilsoles!

BIG love, YaniLDN x
