Friday Finds

fridayfinds

Today I am headed to New York with my mom, and I can only imagine the walking we are going to do. I’ve decided to focus this week’s Friday Finds on the most comfortable shoes going into Fall. You don’t just need comfortable shoes in NYC, so I’ve pulled a few that we will need for those days when we don’t want to try too hard but don’t want to wear our tennis shoes either.

Vince Warren Slip-On

First up is the Vince slip-on. These come in all the coveted fabrics and colors of fall including olive satin and pink velvet. These shoes have been all the rage the last couple of years, but I love the height Vince has added.

Rebecca Minkoff Sammi Slide

This shoe is made for the times you are feeling a little more daring. These slides will be perfect for a legging and sweater combo.

Loeffler Randall Jasper Tassel Oxford

I love a great oxford – I’m sure you can tell considering I wear my snakeskin oxfords quite regularly. I picture myself wearing this shoe with a slim ankle length black trouser and a crew neck sweater. This shoe speaks “put together J. Crew” to me.

Paul Green Logan Bootie

Comfort is key when it comes to wearing a bootie. If they are too tight, your foot feels claustrophobic. If they are too big, you feel like a clown. Or at least I do. I love the colors this Paul Green bootie comes in. I envision you wearing this bootie with distressed jeans and a plaid button down, but that’s just me.

Vince Bray Loafer

Vince has done it again. Add a velvet loafer to your business casual or casual wardrobe. This shoe is something you can work into your daily rotation.

 

Thanks for stopping by, and happy Friday!

 

Cool It Culotte

I bought these culottes last summer in NYC, and my oh my how comfortable they are! And the elastic band is a game changer. I’ve paired them with a black cropped tank, they would also look cute with a white button down tied up or a blouse tucked in. I love the contrast of the burnt orange bomber, which adds a little drama but also keeps me warm in a freezing cold office.

The Brooks Museum featured a tape artist the last couple of weeks. He created an entire mural just out of painter’s tape. Checkout the exhibit.

This will be my summer go-to outfit: a lightweight button down and distressed denim. I thought the slides would be hard to pair with, but surprisingly, I’ve worn them with most neutrals, any denim, and muted patterns. Also, the slides are on sale, so get them while you can!

Happy Summer!
