Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to a wonderful blogger event hosted by Saira shoes at the Ninety Eight bar in Shoreditch. Before I get into showing you the photographs I would like to thank Saira shoes and fellow blogger Beckie for the invitation. I am very grateful and had a really lovely time meeting everyone and of course lusting over some really beautiful shoes!
Saira shoes boast a huge range of ballet flats, loafers, boots, sandals and even trainers. The brand is born from Indian influences but all of the shoes are hand-made in London; an interesting juxtaposition for luxury women's footwear. The word "Saira" means bird in Hindi. The name is prevalent through the flowing designs, stunning colours and naturally shaped embellishments.
The trainers are where you can really see the two cultures coming together. The bright colours and elaborate patterns that we are so used to seeing in Indian culture and heritage combined with the shape and structure of an urban trainer give the shoes a unique identity and feel. I would pair any of this trainers with a pair of plain skinny jeans and oversized tee for a colourful twist on the sports luxe look.
Another timeless shape in the shoe collection is the loafer. I particularly like the dark blue velvet loafers with the gold crest embellishment. These would be a perfect addition to a more dressy outfit; think a smart structured skirt and floaty blouse or go all out and pair it with a matchy velvet dress (I have a missguided one that would be perfect with these!).
The shape of the ballerina flats pictured above and below are simply to die for! I love the cut outs on the side of the shoe which almost make he whole side of the shoe disappear. The pointed toe paired with the elaborate swirling pattern and rich colours ooze class and sophistication. Pair these with your favourite midi skirt for a chic city girl look.
Finally the last shoes in the collection were the sandals. Intricately woven with warm thick coloured thread, strong sturdy fabrics and all brought together with a practical leather sole this is your staple shoe for the summer. There is slight padding around the heel and toes for extra comfort for those long summer days. There are so many shapes from strappy sandals to pool sliders. There is something for every style you may be wanting to try next season.
