Tuesday Shoesday: Ode to the Boat Shoe

The Sperry Top-Sider is said to have been invented after Paul Sperry wanted to create a shoe that mimicked the pads of his dog, who was adept at walking on wet surfaces without slipping. Now, although I don’t spend much time sailing myself, I can’t help but find myself slipping into my own pair of Topsider’s throughout the spring, summer, and fall when I want something that is a little more casual then the ballet flat and offers the comfort of a tennis shoe.  This navy/plaid version is prepster, which I find myself embracing for my work look this summer.

The bonus of being on sale due to Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is tempting me even more.  Are you wearing boat shoes this summer?

Tuesday Shoesday: Ombre Espadrille

When I was 17, I went to Spain on a trip with my high school. I was obsessed with the effortless and gorgeous European style that my host family pulled off.  I purchased a pair of Espadrille shoes, and wore them the entire time I was there. When I got back, I stopped wearing them. They sat in my closest for years, they might even still be there. Anywhoosie, I love that the espadrille is coming to us for this summer. This Ralph Lauren Damian ombre style is really bringing me back to those Spain memories but with a fresh twist on the color.
