Style... in abundance

What I’m Coveting: Mules

Perhaps it was the Fashion Friday I did about 90s supermodels, but I cannot get high-heeled mules out of my head.

There are SO many good ones out right now and I’m coveting them… hard.

Mules & SlidesHere are some of my favorites, sizing tips and where to find the look for less.

For affordable options, check out this brand.  I’ve also tried on several pairs from this affordable brand and thought the quality and comfort was on point.

If you’re considering investing in a pair of Bottega Veneta mules (they did revive the trend, after all), I recommend this pair.  They are really stunning on and I haven’t found a more affordable option that gets the toe box right like these do.  FYI, they run a half size large.  The saddle color and white are at the top of my list.

This pair from Bottega is what started the mules trend.  The first time I tried them on I thought they were fabulous.  The second time, I had a change of heart.  IMHO, the large strap will get old and they aren’t versatile.  Plus, the price is SO painful.

What I’m Coveting: Flatforms

FlatformsEarlier this spring I wrote about my favorite summer sandals.  There are 3 styles I rotate between and one is flat platform sandals (AKA flatforms).

You’ve probably seen hiking sandals come back on the scene and let me just say I’m here for it.  You know I love an ugly shoe.

I wore Tevas and ridiculously heavy Dr. Marten sandals (with socks, mind you!) back in the day and I am kicking myself for not saving any of them.

Not only are flatforms super comfortable (most are made of rubber) but the added heigh makes them chic and versatile.  You CAN pair them with elevated outfits.

Bring on the sporty flatforms!

I recently ordered these and these in multiple colors and am having the hardest time deciding what to keep.  Both styles are SUPER comfortable, waterproof and versatile.  When fashion and function meet, it’s absolutely a win-win.  I’m going to get SO much wear out of these this summer.  Which ones you do you like best?

Flatforms I’m Coveting

Memorial Day Sales

Current Elliott The Perfect Muscle Tee DressHappy Memorial Day!

We plan on spending the entire day outside – BBQ in the front yard, a bike ride and lots of nature excursions with the dog and toddler in tow.  Sending you all well wishes for a wonderful holiday and an extra special thank you to all the men and women who have served and continue to serve!

This weekend also kicks off the beginning of sale season, so I’m rounding up my favorites.  Below are items I’m coveting.  Some items I’ve already purchased – stay tuned for photos and reviews!

Need Supply

I’m dying over these tennis shoes. Such a rad Nike collaboration!

The subtle glitter on these sneakers is SO fun.

I own this dress and adore it.  See how I styled it here.

The block heeled sandals scream chic and can be paired with ANYTHING.

Levi’s

Now’s the time to stock up.  This style looks good on EVERYONE and is on sale in 9 washes.

This style is a classic and all 4 washes on sale are divine (the white is amazing for summer).

These are a recent addition for me (see how I styled them here) and I can’t get enough of their chic vibe.

You’ll live in these denim cutoffs this summer.  They also come in white.

Moda Operandi

They have tons of amazing swimwear on sale and I just picked up this bathing suit.  The sparkly fabric is insane!

This leopard print summer dress is too cute to pass up.

I’m dying over the mod 60’s vibe of this mini skirt.

This is the time to pounce on one of my favorite designers.  This dress is so gorgeous it hurts.

SSENSE

I just picked up these jeans and shared them on Stories.  You loved them too and I can attest that they are worth every penny.

They have one of the best sales on Dr. Marten’s.  I have my eye on these sandals.

These jeans have a high waist and edgy 90s vibe that I adore.  I own them and wear them a ton.

There’s a reason these jeans have a cult following.  I featured them here.  Get them while they’re on sale!

What I’m Coveting: Flat Summer Sandals

Summer Sandals

This past weekend was glorious.  We spent tons of time outside and had an impromptu sprinkler session in our front yard.  It definitely got me excited for summer.  Since I was in sandals all weekend, I wanted to share some of my favorites of late.

I typically wear 3 kinds of flat sandals during the summer: beach/pool sandals, dressy sandals and platform sandals.  These three categories cover all of my summer activities and outings and are super comfortable because they’re flat.  No heels here!

Beach Sandals

I’m really hard on my sandals so I need a beach pair that can take a beating.  This brand is the gold standard in chic flip flops.  They have a TON of color options in all different styles.  Go for a patent leather pair to wear by the pool.  The rubber sole is super comfortable and they transition well to brunch or walking the town.

Dressy Sandals

Heels are pretty much a thing of the past for me.  So how do I wear flats and make them look dressy?  I invest in flat sandals with chic details.  Whether it’s a long strap that can be tied several different ways, a fun print or a pop color, I choose something that makes a statement.

All of these can be pairs with dresses or skirts for a night on the town.

Shop my dressy picks below.

Platform Sandals

It probably comes as no surprise to you that platform sandals are my favorite.  They scream Prada (even when they’re not) and have an edgy yet chic vibe.  Dr. Marten’s and Birkenstock’s are the OG’s of platform sandals and I highly recommend both.  Docs take longer to break in, but are so worth it.  Birks go with everything and only get more comfy with time.

This pair is actually the impetus for today’s blog post.  I saw them and fell in love.  I adore the feminine yet edgy vibe and the lug sole.  They look super comfortable.
