Such a trend setter, or simply a follower who didn't realise it!

So, I'm reading this article in the Guardian a week or so ago and it struck me that sometimes there is an amazing synchronicity to my fashion choices.
Recently, well since New Year's trip to the big apple, I've been wearing a pair of purple, green and black Adidas high tops. There I was, tripping all over the place thinking I looked so cool and vaguely original since most fashionistas won't be wearing them and any art students who would be wearing them are so ahead of the curve they've already given them up as outdated. Alas, alack, but it appears that I must have absorbed the subliminal message that high top trainers are back in and EVERYONE'S wearing them. Then it was confirmed everyone's wearing them when the Guardian's Fashion Statement email from London Fashion Week stated that a fashion low was:
"The arrival of blisters on the backs of ankles from new Nike hi-tops joins Twitter Finger as Fashion Injury of the Week."

Plus, I know it's geeky but I so want everything in the new Adidas Star Wars range! Especially these Princess Leia inspired high tops. I'm loving the colours and who wouldn't want to feel like Princess Leia?! Fair enough, it's not the cool ass-kicking Leia but the imprisoned and chained to Jabba the Hutt in a gold bikini Leia - but hey that's the iconic image. I'm also debating whether or not I want to fully out myself as a geek (normally I'm so far back in the closet when it comes to identifying as geek that I'm summering on Hoth) by wearing the absolutely cool but more overtly Star Wars looking Stormtrooper trainers.
