One of the things The Diva loves about the summer is the wide range of different shoes around to create different styles. Of course, she adores her cute summer sandals but she’s also really liking this season’s funky range of trainers too. For a cool and casual look, hi top trainers are definitely a must have buy.

A wardrobe staple this summer for any girl who wants a laidback and funky look, hi tops are the perfect choice. Team with bare legs and cute skater skirt for a flirty and fun style or wear with skinny jeans for a fashionable summer grunge look – the way you wear them is up to you and there’s so many ways too.

At Viva La Diva we’ve a wide choice of women’s hi tops too from plain and versatile styles in block colours as well as more out there hi tops like leopard print and vibrant shades, so there’s something for everyone whatever your taste. All our hi tops are from well known brands too like Converse, Nike and Pineapple among so many more.

The Diva isn’t liking all this rain at the moment and so she thought she’d cheer herself up by looking at lots of summery shoes on the Viva La Diva website instead. And one of her favourites is canvas espadrilles – especially for warm summer days and holidays in the sun.

Comfortable and bang on-trend, espadrilles are one of this season’s hottest looks for a cool and casual look that’s so easy to wear. Team espadrilles with jeans for a laidback look or wear with a summer dress for a cute retro-inspired style…there are so many ways to wear espadrilles.

Plus, don’t forget that espadrilles come in so many different designs too from plain and versatile to patterned and even glittery too! The Diva has picked out some of her favourite espadrilles from the Viva La Diva website including the ever popular Toms.

This week The Diva tells you how to Style Yourself…Boho Chic!

Bringing together a traditional hippy style with contemporary touches, the boho chic style is just oh so easy and oh so pretty. We’re thinking beaded jewellery, slouched bags, floral prints and cute sandals, all teamed together to create a laidback summer style.

The boho chic style is also about the colours too, stick with neutral earthy shades, they work best like browns, orange, yellow and creams…but don’t be afraid to throw in some slashes of vibrant colours either. And don’t forget to accessorise, it’s all in the little delicate details with the boho chic look.

If you’re heading to a festival this summer then the boho chic look will work so easily for you too. It’s the perfect summer style for a girlie girl and don’t forget the hair either, loose curls are not only completely bohemian but they’re also practical for festivals too.
