Style // Spring Sneakers April 6, 2017
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Johnston & Murphy. All opinions are 100% mine.
Can I just say how pleased I am that stylish sneakers are all the rage? I feel like this wasn’t the case a few years back, but they are by FAR my favorite shoes to wear. I remember not understanding why my husband needed so many different pairs of sneakers, but I think I now have him beat. I’m more drawn to sneakers than any other pair of shoes right now, and my closet is stocked with a nice variety.
As a mom, comfort is key. But I also like having more options than athletic sneakers. Johnston & Murphy recently sent me this adorable pair of perforated suede sneakers, which are perfect for the spring season (if it ever arrives!). I love the perforation and gold detail on the heel, which makes them a little more sophisticated than a standard pair of sneakers. They’re also incredibly versatile; they look great styled with a simple pair of joggers like you see here (and also this AMAZING Johnston & Murphy leather jacket!), or even with a casual spring dress. They’re also so insanely comfortable because of their craftsmanship – they’re Italian leather and Italian kid suede, which means they’ll get even more comfortable with more wear. I love the modern twist on this closet classic – it’s a staple wardrobe piece.
Johnston & Murphy also sent me this gorgeous pair of heels that I can’t wait to wear on our next date night! (Pretty much the only time I wear heels at this point). I love the lace-up detail, and even though the heel height is about 3 1/2 inches, they’re incredibly comfortable given the material they’re made from. I plan on styling them a little more causal with some distressed jeans and an off-shoulder sweater!
I love investing in a few new pairs of shoes for the change of season (especially winter to spring!), and Johnston & Murphy wants to give ONE lucky Lauren McBride reader with a $250 gift card to do the same! Entry is easy, just LEAVE A COMMENT below telling us which pair you would love to try out for yourself! Giveaway will run through April 13, 2017!
I love the ELAINE PERFED SLIP-ON in Copper.
How can you choose just one pair?! The Vanessa pump would be a staple pair for me working in a corporate function, but I’m loving the Mila wedges for summer on the go! Would loooove to win!! xxoo
I would definitely buy those Emerson Perfed Lace-up sneakers in the Blush Italian Suede colour!! So cute!
I love this post! And you ❤ I would hands down get the NATASHA GHILLIE HEEL in the suede color! I am slightly obsessed with them!
Love these sneaks! I’ve always hated wearing gym sneakers outside of the gym, and I’m so glad cute options are such a thing now!
I love the perforated sneakers! As a stay at home mom I’m always reaching for my converse. I would love another cute pair to grab.
Such cute shoes! I’m loving the athletic sneakers! Super cute 🙂
I would totally get the Elaine Perfed Slip-On or the Nikki Cross-Strap Heel!! Super cute!
I’ve never heard of this brand, but I like their stuff! I would go for the Elaine Perfed Slip-On. I love slip-ons in the spring and summer. The house is warmer so I can walk around barefoot and when I get ready to leave I just slip them on and go. I also love to slip my shoes off under my desk at work.
Even if I don’t win, I may just have to order these anyways.
Both are ????????, but I’d probably have to say the tennis shoes are more practical for a mama with kids always on the go go go! Those heels are gorgeous though, so that’s a tough pick.
The Natasha heels are beautiful! But I’d go with the Elaine perfed slip on. I’d get so much wear out of them.
Such a tough decision! The sneakers are adorable and perfect for running mom errands, but those heels are gorgeous! I’d probably have to splurge and go with the heels. They’re just too pretty to pass up
Oh my goodness I LOVE both shoes featured here but the Elaine perf slip on will probably get more wear from me!
I would absolutely love the pink suede ones. Totally drooling over those right now ????
oh wow! ????I’m so glad sneakers are in right now too! I’m a mom of a one year old and my new cute/comfy style is really starting to take shape here, all thanks to you! You’re such an inspiration. Thanks for the chance. Good luck everyone!!
I would love to try both, but If I can only pick one…Id go with the
Emerson Perfed Lace-Up
Love the suede sneakers!! ????
The Emerson Perfed Lace-up sneakers would be perfect for errands and fun with my son! But a girl always loves a pair of comfortable heels!
I love the Natasha heel as well. Such a perfect spring shoe..
I have to pick one?! I love the Emerson Lace-up Sneaker in off-white snakeskin!
The emerson perked lace up in pink! they are adorable!
I love all the shoes!!! I would swoon over the Natasha Ghillie heel and would totally love to rock the Emerson perfed Lace-up shoe. I also LOVE the Eden slip-on that you could wear with white jeans and really make a statement. I am obsessed with all the shoes!! 😉
I love the perforated sneakers! They would be so comfortable for pregnancy!
Those sneakers are everything! I love them. Perfect color too.
I would get the Mila Ankle Strap Wedge in black. So pretty!
The Emerson lace up!
As much as I’d love those heels, I’d have to say the sneakers because I know I would wear the heck out of them! The heels are gorgeous, but I’d be drooling over the heels and wishing I had more occasions to wear them! #mylifejustisntthatfancy
I love both the shoes posted in your blog! After looking at the site and all the other cute shoes, I love the Mila wedges and the Elaine perf slip ons!! Being a mom and running out the door most mornings slip on’s are my go-to’s!! 🙂
I LOVE the Elaine Perfed Slip-On! They seem like the perfect, easy Spring shoe!
My husbands wedding shoes were J&M, but I don’t own any of my own! I’d start w the grey sneakers. So cute!!
Love the whole outfit of the black pants and that gorgeous jacket and those suede slip on sneaks look amazing with it ! The elaine perfed slip ons are totally more my style since i have 2 kids now and forgot how to walk in heels .. and i have fallen down at a wedding to prove it (bc of the heels – not my wine intake haha)
Congrats, girl! You won! Check your email 🙂
I love the feminine look of the sneakers, in super stylish colors! Pink is my new favorite color for shoes ????
I LOVE both! If I had to choose, it would be the the Elaine perf sneakers!
LOVE the Emerson Perfed Lace-Up in the soft pink!!!!
I seriously love the pink suede shoes! They’re PERFECT for spring!
I would love the sneakers!!!!
Those sneakers are to die for!! So cute
I’ve narrowed it down to 2 absolute favorite pairs at Johnston & Murphy ~
the KELSEY TOE-LOOP SLIDE in Brown/Cream Snake-Print Leather
AND
the NATASHA GHILLIE HEEL in Natural Cork.
So good!!!!
i love the Wendy Toe-Ring Thong SOOOO MUCH!
I can’t help but want those heels but think that the sneakers may get more use for this mama 🙂
I love the Mila Ankle Strap Wedge. Sooo simple and pretty.
Love the blush sneakers, but the braided sandals on their site are pretty darn irresistible.
I would love those exact same sneakers in blush!
How have I never heard of these!? I would love a pair of of those Emerson Perfed Lace Up Sneakers in Blush Italian Suede <3
Of the two you have… the heels! They look so comfortable and incredibly stylish. But on the site, I fell in love with the Maren wedges!!!
Looooove love love the blush sneakers! so excited for this post because my husband and I are going on our first trip to Italy in June (leaving our 1.5 year old at home with grandma and grandpa! Eek!) and I’ve been trying to find a cute pair of stylish/comfy sneakers! thanks!

I absolutely love the Emerson Perfed Lace-Up in the Blush Italian Suede or the Maren Cross Band Wedge in floral print but honestly they are all just so cute!
I love Johnston & Murphy and I’d love to try their suide sneakers. They look so cute and comfy!
I’m not much of a tennis shoe person, so I have to say the Natasha Ghillie Heel would be my choice.
The Emerson petted lace up sneakers in blush ilalian Suede would be a staple for my “mom” uniform! I would love to own a pair!!
I NEED one of each please. 🙂
Love me a good sneaker! I would love to try the “Elaine perfed slip on.” So cute for Spring!
I love your sneakers….and every pair of flats, although the red loafers are so “me.” I need new shoes! Thank you for the opportunity!
I love the Mindy wedges! But the perforated sneakers and Natasha ghillie sandals and so many others are adorable too.
Definitely the perforated suede sneakers! Going to DisneyLand with my husband and I would love to wear a pair of stylish sleek sneakers like that. Fact that it’s blush makes me swoon over here! Just gorgeous!
I would love to try the sneakers! I’m about 6 months pregnant and actually on the hunt for a cute but comfy pair of sneakers I can wear with joggers and jeans for spring!
They are both beautiful! I would be happy with either one. Very nice of you to give away a pair.
I love love love the Emerson perfed lace-up in blush!! They are sooo cute!!!

I would love to try out the sneakers. Sooo cute!!!
Love the NATASHA GHILLIE HEEL
The heels featured in this post are absolutely gorgeous! I would love to experiment with dressing these both up and down, especially for work. As a young professional who is new to the workforce, a good pair of heels are everything!
The perforated sneakers are absolutely adorable! I am a huge fan of low ankle sneakers (not sure how to properly explain that hahah). Super cute and thanks for the opportunity to win a pair! 🙂
