sleek sneaks

$60, zappos.com

Last summer when I was flying back from Italy to the States, I missed my connecting flight in Madrid and had to stay for an extra day. Of course, I was not that disappointed, except that the only clothes I had were the ones on me (because my checked luggage was stuck in the bowels of the airport). Thankfully, I was wearing these leather Jack Purcell Converse sneakers. They were perfect for a day of touring the Prado and flitting around the city and running back to the airport. Plus, because they're leather, they're polished, sleek and city-proof.  I'm planning on wearing them on this summer's adventures (to New York, Palm Beach, etc) and also on those non-stop-running-around-doing-a-million things schlubby days with...
