 Whats on your Summer Bucket List? Is there something you want to do that you haven't yet?Let's see.. I have gone on a 60 foot schooner sailboat,  been to the Summer Pops Symphony series, went to the Outer Banks where I saw Wild Horses as well as going to a beach I've never been to before. We are going to rent a boat sometime in August when the pups in their little life jackets can go with us and the heat isn't unbearable. Just getting ready to go out soon...

shoesblogHappy Friday everyone and Happy July 1st! I find it hard to believe as the months keep rolling by. My birthday and Gibby's birthday is coming up next week, so expect a blog post on that.Let's talk about shoes. I am happy about my shoe situation. About 8-9 years ago, it was a different story. Those of you that know about my health, know that I have a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Type III. The Hypermobility Type, where my joints move farther than the normal range of motion and I get muscular knots everywhere in my body.You can read more about it on my About Me page if you choose. Regarding shoes, at the time, I could not wear anything with a heel, and the flats had to have support, but for the most part I had to wear sneakers. Not the cool slip on types, so trendy now, but just your average gym sneaker.So, remembering this, and where I am now, I can say, I honestly have fun with my shoes now. Shopping for shoes, ( online) and finding styles that will fit into my wardrobe is now a joy! I wanted to share for this post, some of my shoe collection for the summer months, some trendy, some not, but rather fun staples that will carry me throughout the spring/summer months. I am able to wear a small wedge ( 1-1.5 inches) block heels ( same height) flats with support, and well-cushioned supported shoes that are fashionable. There used to be a time where "comfortable shoes" meant "ugly" or just not very stylish, but brands have come around knowing there is a market out there for beautiful, stylish and comfortable/supportive shoes. Here are some of my summer staples:You know the melody to Oliver's song, "Food Glorious Food " I'm anxious to try it! Now, replace with , "Shoes, glorious shoes" I'm ready to buy it! There we go!

Urban OutfittersHello LadiesAs I mentioned in an earlier post this week, "What goes around, comes around." We know this to often be the case the fashion trends. I remember in college wearing a favorite pair of brown beaded lace up espradrille sandals. Where did they end up?  They remind me of summer, the ease of wear and the style that goes with anything, skirts, white pants, shorts. There are ones made of leather, fabric, and ones that lace up. There are flats, one with small heels and then there are wedges. I had mostly wedges when I could wear them. ...

 Whew!I know that was a long title ladies, but there is a lot going on today! I host the weekly #Turningheadstuesday #linkup in which I enjoy seeing all of your outfits each week. I am also sharing with you today a review of the Brookline Gladiator sandal from Jambu, a company I had collaborated with recently, and with whom I reviewed the Sugar Sandal. If you missed it, read that review HERE. The Sugar Gladiator has a lower profile than the Brookline, the top straps at the ankle, whereas the Brookline hits higher up on the leg, accentuating the calves....

 IMG_7256Hello LadiesToday I am sharing with you a review of some new shoes from Rockport. When they initially contacted me, I was hesitant, as I knew Rockport from years back when my Dad was wearing their shoes. The name conjured up some shoes that were meant for stability, cushion but not as much looks. However, times have changed, and Rockport has some wonderful shoes to choose from. The image is different and the styles are on trend with the looks of today. I was thrilled when I saw these floral flats made with their "Total Motion technology". For me, as for I imagine many women, the appeal of comfort and style is what one looks for in a shoe. They are the Total Motion Adelyn  Ballet flat.

 IMG_7419Hello ladiesWould I ever have thought I would be doing a post on Birkenstocks or Birkinstock-like sandals? Probably not. Even in my college days, I never wore them. I was always turned off by the people that wore them with socks! More guys then girls, but don't we know this is a fashion faux paux, socks with open toed sandals?To each their own , I say!However...
