Weekend Comfort: Embellished Slippers and get the look for less

embelished mules shoes for weekend

Whether you call them slippers, mules or any other fancy name, they are
definitely not flip-flops which give you either the flexibility to hide
your toes before getting a pedicure or the benefit of being presentable
as equally comfortable.  This batch on top are on the high-end price scale but the ones in the bottom are Cool while under 100.  In case you were wondering about the top options, top left green slippers,  leaves-look-like mules, white with buckles, velvet with knot, white embroidery mules, yellow ones, black in Gucci, Mules with chain, white Gucci.

2 Exciting Fashion Collaboration to look forward to this Spring

Aquazzura x De Gournay Collaboration

If this is not the most clever collaboration, then I don’t know what is.  Two of the things women love the most, anything that resembles flowers and shoes come together this spring in Aquazzura for De Gournay participation.  The announcement came in the middle of Paris Fashion Week with a celebration given at the coveted wallpaper showroom in Saint-Germain.  Edgardo Osorio had previously collaborated with De Gournay on a pink wallpaper inspired on the designer’s love of Ottoman history.  The wallpaper can be purchased as well as customized.  The exclusive shoe collection will be available through Matches Fashion sometime this May.

Weekend Comfort: The Outfits You Need This Spring/Summer

You may have seen the very chic minimalist button-down white linen dress wore by a few bloggers in their Instagram accounts.  This dress as well as the rest of Mango’s 45-pieces of their Committed collection is worth a buy for two good reasons.  First the collection is the store’s first complete environmentally sustainable line.  The entire ethical collection has been made with environmentally friendly organic and recycled cotton, recycled polyester and Tencel, which have been dyed with environmentally friendly inks.  Second, all outfits are full of 2017 trends for Spring and Summer; clean lines, big structured sleeves blouses and minimalist dresses which all come in earthy tones.  From the 45 pieces, 20 are for men.  Yes, sometimes we all win.

Weekend Comfort: Sneakers That is

I don’t know about you but, I can’t decide what I love more about Summer: the easiness of its clothes or the absence of heavy ones, which in either case pretty much results in the same feeling of comfort.  As time passes I find myself more interested in wearing sneakers for my daily errands.  I can not for the love of God even think about picking up my son, Lucas at school in heels or wearing them to the Super Market for that matter.  Lucky for me and all the ladies who favor fashion sneakers had never been this hot or coveted.  There is this Athleisure style which is more than a trend and it’s here to stay.  Now, Athleisure is is not to be confused with the use of sweat pants with decorated letters on the derriere.  No, no this consists of wearing active wear that are more fashionable than the usual and sneakers are a bit more fancy with exotic skins and accessories.  Whatever the fashion world decides to call it, it all comes down to the fact that comfort always beats fancy.

Trench Coat: The Three Season Coat

The simple version of the trench coat that was popular in the 70’s has gone through major upgrades.  New and versatile versions range from suede, leather and even transparent material in many number of shapes and lengths.  It’s difficult to argue about the many ways it can be worn and all the different seasons that it can be used.  Now that Global Warming is more real than ever, even though some people prefer to call it a Hoax, we can’t deny the crazy warm days we are experiencing during this winter and how soon we are from wearing a trench coat even in winter.

If you are a Celine fan, you should know LOÉIL

I came across the women fashion line Loeil via Instagram.  The Los Angeles born fashion line prides itself for using superb quality and creative craftsmanship in an understated minimalist style.  Loeil’s clean and comfortable-looking pieces remind me of Celine but with a more modern touch.  What I love most about the line’s minimalist and underplayed pieces is how they all seem to have something trendy in them while staying feminine.  I own a pair of cool shoes with fur heels and I can’t wait to keep buying from them because I find their prices pretty phenomenal.
