Cute and Comfy

Last week I put the following post on my personal Facebook page:

"What are your most favorite sandals or flats that are comfortable for lots of walking in warm weather AND are stylish/chic?"

I thought I would share some of the responses! Notice that there are a nice variety of styles and prices!

First are the non-sandal suggestions:

1) Sperry Top Sider Original Boat Shoe $90 2) Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Fancy $55

3) Yosi Samra flats $77 4) Frye Cason ballet flat $157.95 5) AGL Flats $298 6) Tieks $175

And next the comfortable sandal suggestions.

1) Bernardo Matrix $135 2) K. Jacques $240 3) Sam Edelman $65 4) Birkenstock $94.95

I posted this question in anticipation of our trip to Europe at the end of the summer. And while I LOVE all these suggestions, and already own a number of these shoes, I think I've decided to go with one of my tried and true favorites, Cole Haan.

Molly Flat Thong $128

I haven't purchased them yet as I'm hoping for a Memorial Day Sale or some sort of promo!

Too Many Choices

You may have read my birthday wish list (post here) to know that I am on the hunt for a short pair of rain boots. While I keep thinking about the short hunter boots, I've seen a variety of other styles that seem more unique.

These Sperry boots were on my birthday post.

And while they are still near the top of the list, I recently found some other contenders. We were in Sun Valley for the long weekend, and I came across these really cool Sorel Boots. Sorel and I have a good history. Remember last year when I got the Conquest Carly. I love those boots and have gotten so much wear out of them.

These Slimpack Riding Glow Waterproof boots seem like they could be equally as fantastic.

They may have the Sperry boots topped as the new front runner.

Regan's Birthday Wish List

Katie and I have a birthday coming up, September 22nd to be exact. My husband laughs when I tell him I have a birthday wish list, but I do. I always have a "wish list", and my birthday provides the perfect opportunity to check a few things off!

Here's what my list currently looks like.

I've been wanting a pair of short rubber rain boots, and these are just what I have been looking for. I had my eyes on the short Hunter boots, but I think I like the style of these (and the price) much better., and I really like the color.

Sperry Top-Sider Starling boot $74.95

We all know I spend a lot of time in workout pants. My friend Katie has these pants, and I need them.

Vimmia Compression Stirrup Legging $127

As a side note, the product description lists the benefits of compression fabric as: increased blood circulation and skin elasticity, reducing cellulite and signs of skin aging, improved blood flow and oxygenation to muscles and tissues during your workout, increased recovery speed after workout or exertion, less wasted energy, less cramping, and greater running/workout efficiency, and reduced vibration that occurs as a muscle is flexed or experiences impact.

As someone who has their Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology, may I take a moment to tell you that these are just pants, and there is no scientific evidence to prove that a pair of yoga pants can actually do all those things. I could go into detail, but I won't!

And then a few things on my list that I have already shared with you in previous posts....

School House Electric Basic Tumbler

Pendleton Beach Towels

We will be in Sun Valley next week and a trip to Consign Design is inevitable. Chances are I will find a birthday present there and this list will be good as gone!

Currently Coveting

One of my clients wore these Sperry Top-Sider for J. Crew Albatross boots to the barre3 studio a few weeks ago. I really wanted to steal them right out of her cubby, but I figured that wasn't very nice. Once I found out they are sold out online, I was wishing I had in fact accidently left thinking they were mine!

And then I saw these from Sorel, the Conquest Carly.

I want these boots. I NEED these boots! Fortunately Sorel is owned by Columbia Sportswear, a Portland company, and they have an employee store that I have access to. So, these boots are on their way to my closet! Stay tuned for some "what I wore" posts with these beauties!

That's all!

What I Wore

One of my favorite things to do in Sun Valley is to shop the "sidewalk sales," and Labor Day Weekend is an especially good time of year for sale shopping. I have been wanting to get a pair of Sperry Topsiders for a long while now, and when I saw that these gold ones were %50 off, I knew the time was finally right.

Since summer is nearly over, I thought I would take advantage of what might be my last opportunity to sport a nautical themed ensemble. So here's what I wore.

Sweater- J Crew (old), Red tank top- Old Navy (here), Jeans- J Brand (old from Gilt Groupe), and Shoes- Gold Sperry Topsiders from Sun Valley Brass Ranch (can be found here)

Luscious Lemon

Have you noticed that lovely lemon has made a resurgence lately? Who doesn't love a little citrus to sweeten their wardrobe. Here are a few things I'm sure I'd never sour on.
