Zoo York is a New York brand created in the early 1970s from Manhattan’s Riverside Park which built a thriving scene or aerosols and skateboards.

By the 1980s, Zoo York had come to firmly symbolise New Yorks underground subculture of artists, b-boys, skateboarders, and punks.

In 1993 skateboarders Rodney Smith, Eli Morgan Gessner, and Adam Schatz began designing a simple line of decks and T-shirts. This then grew into a full blown streetwear collection.

Today Zoo York is a global brand with East Coast attitude heavily influenced by skateboarding, graffiti, hip-hop, and punk. The Manhattan-based brand has a wide range of casual, military-influenced overtones combined with iconic Zoo York City imagery to capture the raw essence of New York for men, women, and youths.

When I was eight years old, my mum bought me my very first pair of Converse trainers. They were bright red All-Stars and I wore them until they wore out. From that moment on, I’ve loved this style of trainer!

Why are Converse so good?

Firstly the style of them has never gone out of fashion. Even though the trainer has been on the go since the middle of the twentieth century, they look as good today as ever.

Secondly, you can wear them anywhere. Okay - you can’t run a marathon in them, but whether you are out shopping, in a club or hanging out with friends, they never look out of place.

Thirdly, the price is right - you can expect to pay sixty pounds or more for a pair of trainers from most shoe companies, but you can get a good pair of Converse for half that price.

Finally, there are so many styles, you can have lots of pairs to suit your mood. From bright colours to funky prints, heck, if you live in America you can even design your own pair on the Converse website!

All in all, Converse do some pretty darn good shoes. Check them out now, you’ll thank me for it!

My favourite item of clothing that I have bought recently was a pair of pyjamas that were reduced to £2 in primark.

They are short pyjamas and a greeny yellow colour, not a colour I usually go for, but they are well comfy and sexy.

They are the best bargain I have bought in ages and I have  just had a baby so its something that makes me feel good about myself when I am in them.
