When we graduated from college, we went on a two-week trip to Europe with our mom (can’t believe that was 6 years ago!!). We know that it is travel season, and everyone is headed out on trips, especially to Europe. We wanted to share a cute outfit that look stylish, and put together, without looking frumpy, and like you’re a tourist.
You want something comfortable that you can walk for hours in, but also something that it is cute enough to take pictures in around the cities, and not look back and think, “What was I wearing?!”, haha.
These espadrille wedges from Nordstrom are an amazing travel shoe for so many reasons! One: they are comfortable, two: they go with everything, and three: they aren’t too bulky! Also, their price point is great at $80.
We suggest pairing a comfortable, and airy dress like this linen off shoulder dress (also comes in petite!). With the heat and warmer temperatures, you want something that is lightweight, but also cute. This dress is also great because it is neutral, and will look really good in any photos you take while touring around.
As far as bags go, we don’t recommend carrying a big, bulky backpack, especially if you want to look stylish, and not like a tourist. Going for a cute round option like this bag is a great option, and it also has a longer strap that you can wear crossbody or just longer on your shoulder. It also fits a lot in it, too!
If you’re looking for a lower- heeled shoe, we suggest this neutral flat sandal that is comfortable, and also stylish!
If you are looking for some other good neutral shoes, we have another post here!
We found this perfect Europe look all at Nordstrom. The best part is we didn’t even have to go inside the store, or wait for it to arrive in the mail! We just ordered it all online, and then picked our order up curbside in our sweats! If you all haven’t used their in-store pickup before, you are missing out!
SO excited for today’s post because we are sharing a review of all of our spring shoes we have tried recently! We know there are SO many shoes out there, so we wanted to give you all an honest review of each pair and why we like them (or don’t!)
You all know we love anything leopard. Of course, these slides are no different! These have a bit of a wedge heel, but nothing too high, of course. We like that they have a neutral strap as well, so they’re not too much animal print if you don’t want to go overboard.
We went with a size 6.5, and they run true to size. They do run a little wide, so if you have narrow feet, like us, you may want to keep that in mind!
This slide sandal is a lot going on, we know! BUT, we are totally in love with these. They look SO cute on, and we think if you go for the neutral pair (we are wearing the cognac), or the black, it isn’t too flashy!
We went with a size 7 in these, and would recommend sizing up a half size in these!
Here is another double strap slide sandal for you all! We had been wanting this pair for a long time now, and love the braided strap on this one. These will go with everything in your closet! These also run true to size (we have a size 6.5). The braided strap does run a little narrow!
We had actually tried this pair on in the store a while back, and loved them so much we had to get a pair! Sometimes, we don’t really like the way mules look on, but this pair is not only comfortable, but it has a pointed toe, so it will elongate your legs, which is always a plus!
Also, these come in three other colors, including white and black. These run true to size. We have a size 7.
This slide sandal came out a couple years ago, and if you had been wanting the Hermes pair, this one is a great look-for-less option! These are under $100, padded and comfy for walking a lot, and can be dressed up or down! We love wearing them with some shorts, or even a swimsuit, but then you can also dress them up with jeans or a cute dress!
We got this pair in a size 7, and run true to size. They also come in solid colors like a natural patent and a black patent color.
One of us wore these slides the other day, and got a TON of compliments on them! They are the perfect amount of studs, without being too much or flashy. We are wearing the “bisque leather” color in a size 6.5 and they run true to size. These also come in black!
We were so excited about this pair, but they run EXTREMELY narrow. We have narrow feet, and these were hard to get on, so we recommend sizing up on these at least a half size, or maybe even a full size! They are really cute sandals, though.
We are wearing they grey color in a size 6.5! These are not super padded, so they are great for every day, but not for long walks.
As y’all can tell, we love anything studded, so of course we had to have these sandals! They are more of a thong sandal, so they stay on your feet better than the typical slide sandal. We are wearing a size 6.5 in the cream color, and they run true to size.
These are not super padded, so they are comfortable, but don’t have a ton of padding!
We were kind of skeptical of these wedges because when they are not on, we didn’t especially like they way they looked when they are not being worn, BUT, we were pleasantly surprised! First off, these are SO comfortable– like walking on a cloud. These would be great shoes to take on a trip where you’ll be walking a lot!
They also come in other colors like black, olive green, a bright coral color, and more! We got a size 6.5 in them and they run true to size.
What is also great is that they are elastic, so they form to your feet and will stretch out so they’re good for narrow or wide feet.
If you’re needing a basic, neutral heel, this is your pair! They are flattering on any foot, AND, you can wear the with any kind of outfit, and they always look good. When in doubt, go with the platform, block heel! We wear this pair with jeans, dresses, rompers, and jumpsuits. You can also wear these to work!
We have on the “blush leather” color, and they also come in a ton of other colors like black, too. For these, we went with a size 7, and they fit true to size.
Y’all have probably seen these wedges a lot of times, but we finally gave these a try, and HIGHLY recommend. They are $80, so a great price point, and this pair is actually comfortable, unlike some other espadrille wedges we have tried out. This is the “tan leather” color, and they also come in black, white, snakeskin, and other colors.
We got a size 7 in these, but found that the straps were a little loose on use because our feet are so narrow.
We found all of these spring sandals at Nordstrom. When we are shopping for shoes, or anything, really, they are our go-to! We use the in-store pickup option all of the time because it is so dang convenient ;). If you haven’t used it yet, we HIGHLY recommend it!
Happy Spring! We are so excited to share today’s look with you all because we have been trying to find the perfect kimono, especially for us mini-sized girls;) This lace duster/kimono is PERFECT for spring and summer, and it fits even more petite girls, like us! Usually kimonos can be wayyy too long or look like we are consumed in them, but this one is the perfect neutral, and fits so well!
What is so great about this kimono is that you can wear it over a swimsuit to the beach or pool as well!
All of these cute accessories are from Sole Society. They have THE cutest bags and shoes for spring all under $100. We still wear a lot of our pieces from them from years ago, and most of their bags and shoes are vegan!
It is officially March, so that means we are on the hunt for some good spring shoes! We rounded up our favorite flat sandals, close-toed flats, mules, and heels/wedges for you all, and we made sure to include ones that are budget-friendly and fully-stocked!
We honestly go for all types of shoes for spring and summer, and a lot of these, especially the mules and close-toed flats, can be worn even into fall!
These are ALL favorites of ours, so it is hard to say which ones we love the most, but we will call out ones we have and love!
#5 we have had for years, and they are SO comfy! You can walk all day in these with no issues. We have them in so many colors.
#6 we just got because we love the stones in them! Great for the pool, beach, or everyday!
#25 we have had for a couple years, as we are sure a lot of you may recognize! Comfiest wedges ever!
#26 is a great rockstud pair and they can be dressed up or down!
Since tank top season is here, and that means we all want those sculpted arms to show off! We wanted to share some of our tips for getting sculpted arms with you all! We will start off by saying that it takes time and effort. You can’t give up after a few days, or even weeks. This tank is the perfect way to show off those hard-earned guns, or that great tan you just got (even if it is all from sunless tanner!) Before we get into our tips for sculpted arms, we wanted to share a little bit about this super cute and casual look for summer! This tank is SO soft and it is $22. It comes in 3 other colors, and is just a great, all-around tank.These wedges are SO comfy. We seriously live in them, and wear them with everything! These cutoffs you all have probably seen a zillion times on our instagrams. They are AMAZING! They come in a lighter wash, too. They fit true-to-size, and are $68! HOW TO GET SCULPTED ARMS:
lift weights
isolate by muscle groups (arms, back, etc.)
make sure you are lifting heavy enough weights (with good form)
do at least 20 minutes of cardio 3-5 times a week
eat mainly vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins.
cut back on starchy carbs like breads, grains, and potatoes.
Happy Monday! How are you all doing with the time change?! Not going to lie, I am totally scrambling to get this done this morning. I (Alexis) got up early yesterday, and it ended up being a long, but fun day, so needless to say, I did not get this post done last night. I told myself I would get up early this morning and do it, but of course it is still dark out, even at 7 AM, so I am drinking all the coffee;) Oh, I also didn’t mention that I was up late watching “Big Little Lies”. Have you all seen it? I am obsessed!This red peplum top is on MAJOR sale for under $30, and comes in white, too! It is pretty low on sizes (we are wearing an XS, and probably could have gone with a P XXS for a tighter fit). We found this red peplum one that is almost identical in stock in all sizes! You could wear this top without a big statement necklace, but we loved the way this one adds something fun to the outfit!
