Sunshine Days

Last week we looked at some pretty fantastic espadrilles. Today I thought we would combine the style with a sneaker. That's right, the perfect summer sneaker.

Anthropologie, Alohas Bambita Espadrille, $98

If this doesn't say summer, I don't know what does.

Target, dv Roxie Canvas Lace Up Espadrille, $27

Do you love these? I love these. They also come in a handful of other colors.

While summer may be all about the sandals, sometimes a solid sneaker is that way to go. These espadrille options are great for warmer weather.

Make Me Blush

Happy Monday lovebugs,

As we wrap up the summer wedding season, I am sure if not this year, at some point in your life you've unwillingly purchased nude pumps. You are a good friend. I applaud you. But now, it's you time. Time to put away the nude and bring out blush. A beautiful, feminine hue that can be professional or playful.

Modcloth, Piles as Punch Flat, $69

I've never done ballet, but I can play the part with these beautiful flats.

Zappos, Athena Alexander Teague, $59

Perhaps a more versatile shoe than a black pump. Chic, suede, stunning.

Keds, Keds x Kate Spade New York Champion Glitter, $80

Oh come on, I had to. How can you not have fun in these sneakers?!

Nordstrom, Daya by Zendaya Aaron Pointy Toe Pump, $89

Sometimes a bow can be a little too sweet, this pump is anything but - it's commanding.

You've put in your time in nude pumps, it's time to sweeten things up and have some fun in blush!

Your Shoes Need A Mint

One color I love for all four seasons is mint. It is a great pastel that goes with jewel tones, black, brown, prints, you name it. Now not all pieces work all yearlong, you're not going to wear a mint cashmere sweater in August. You know what you do need 12 months of the year? Sneakers. You know what color pops? Mint.

Net A Porter, Juvenate Mesh Sneakers, $85

Love. Go from brunch to the gym without changing your shoes.

Modcloth, Ked's Very Important Skate Sneakers, $44

Picture these with ripped jeans now and a midi skirt in a gingham print in July.

Zappos, Saucony Jazz Low Pro, $50

Mint and cobalt. What a fantastic combo.

Amazon, Asics Metrolyte Gem Walking Shoes, $46

What did I tell you about mint and prints? These are very fun.

Sneakers can get pricey quickly but these options don't break the bank. Mint is a versatile color to wear with yoga pants, printed spandex, or jeans!

Tee it Up

Lovebugs,

I'm going to let you in on a little secret. T strap flats are going to be all of the rage this fall. That's right. My intel is saying buy stock now. So let's get a jump start on this trend and maybe even make it work for summer.

Nordstrom, Halogen Olson, $59

Gorgeous. Wear it now with a sundress and later with ankle cropped chinos and a denim jacket.

Sam Edelman, Colt Sepia, $75

Rocker chic to the max.

Taylor Swift would so approve of these little beauties. Part sneaker, part flat, part sandal, all adorable.

Quite a little architectural masterpiece. I love the modern details of this flat.

T strap flats are so simple and yet they make such a statement. I love them for summer into fall. Leave those heels in the closet and try these dressy flats.
