SPRING SHOES I’VE GOT 2022

Hi loves! Even though I love boot season, I tend to buy more shoes in the Spring, I love new sweet pairs of sandals and sneakers especially!

I must admit, Spring transition with dressing is so hard! I know we have talked about this many times. For example, I’ve bought these sandals but weather might still be in the 30s here in Indiana so I can’t wear them yet. I need to add more flats to my closet, but I tend to put away the boots for the most part this time of year but it’s just so hard to know what to put on your body and on your FEET, lol.

But anyway, here are some of my newest additions, mainly neutrals that I’m excited to wear all Spring & Summer! Not shown here but my beloved Braided Flats from Target are still my fav this year. I've worn a couple of these already and I’ve tried them all on and they are all extremely comfortable.

Oh, that lilac. These slide sandals with the perfect kitten heal are so comfy. The pleated top is a twist on the braided trend and I’m here for it! So of course, needed the white too!

These tan casual espadrille sandals from Social Threads will be so cute with shorts and casual dresses and skirts.

A bright white leather sporty sneaker is a must. This is my 3rd pair of Adidas Superstars, and they are sooo comfy.

These are a great dupe sandal. I have the designer tan ones but these clear ones with rhinestones are all the rage and so affordable!!

These little Canvas Cuties are a staple in Italy. Superga is so high quality. I’m a big fan of Giada De Laurentiis and she’s wears them with skirts and dresses all the time. Kate Middleton LOVES them too!

These braided heels by Dolce Vita are everything! They are called the Stella of all things and I got mine at Leela and Lavender. You can get 20% off yours with Code: ANDREA1

Oh, those pearls. OkaB sent both my mom and I these Slide Sandals. All their shoes are waterproof and so comfy.

So, tell me, what are your favorite shoes to wear in the Spring? What do you gravitate too? Have you bought any new pairs?

FRIDAY FAVORITES...SPRING HAS SPRUNG

It was a fun little week around here and while the weather is it going to be as lovely as last weekend, (SNOW) it will be a relaxing one, nonetheless. Let’s get to some sweet spring Friday favorites!

1. Spring Shoes
Leela and Lavender
I’m so excited to be working with Leela and Lavender and this is my first item from them and I’m over the moon. I had been wanting these Dolce Vita braided heels for a while to wear with everything from dresses to jeans to short just to jazz up the pieces a little bit when I wanted to be dressier than with flat sandals or sneakers. AND how fitting these are called the "Stella!" I’ve heard how comfortable these are and they are indeed! And the great news is I have a code for you for 20% off
for Leela and Lavender's website!
ANDREA1

I’m telling you, they have so many cute pieces and I’ve been so lucky to find darling boutiques lately like the one I shared with you on Wednesday.

Oka B
Made in the good ole USA, Buford, Georgia, Oka B sandals are the exact shoes you want. This is a 3-generation family-owned business and currently ran by the darling Sara. They are completely sustainable, and you can even send your gently worn shoes back and they will recycle them! Bless their hearts, they even sent my mom a pair. She got the black and pearl Bette's just like I did. We can’t wait to put outfits with them! Water resistant, these are the perfect pool, beach, and summer styling sandals! Look at that pretty Pink Color and sweet navy with bandana bows!

2. Sneak Peek...
SPRING ON THE PORCH
Just a sneak peek because I’ve never done Easter porch before. Can you believe it? There will be an entire post coming but I had to rave about these Bows. I got them on Amazon, and they came perfectly intact and are cheaper than if I would buy all the rules of ribbon. I did two of these lanterns and I love them with the little Easter eggs inside. Those are just from Walmart. Full Easter Porch post coming soon....

3. Spring Tops
Avara
Speaking of that boutique above, Shop Avara, here is the Mabli Top again that I shared on Wednesday.

ANDREA15
I just started a little bit differently here with a hot pink pair of braided sandals and my beloved Meg Jeans from Evereve.
These are literally the softest jeans ever!

Gingham
Now for a couple little gingham numbers
Will you look at this Coral Gingham! The sleeves are so cute and this is from "The Get" line at Walmart. $22 and oh so adorable! Several of you bought this after seeing it on my Instagram and said you love it!

And this gingham cutie is from Madewell And let’s just say I love how it’s "made," lol, pun intended! The slit on the sides of This Top
and the cute baby doll vibe and
will keep you loving this lightweight top all spring and summer long. Of course, these tops look great with the front tuck and with shorts as well.

4. Stella Shenanigans

Oh this girl keeps us on our toes in the most sweet way!

Trash

This may have been her best accomplishment yet, almost taking out the trash. It’s just that she was going the wrong way, lol!

Mesh

So, this role of mesh that Miss STELLA grabbed was to help decorate my Easter porch along with the lanterns you saw above. These rolls of mesh were sitting on the sixth step up on our stairway mind you and that’s the farthest she had gone up then this far, little stinker

Glasses

Stella must know mommy needs some help with her vision. She brought me daddy’s reading glasses the other day, LOL!

DON'T STOP BE-LOOMIN’....

Like Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’ song, I’m singing to the Spring trees, Don’t Stop Be-Loomin.’ Despite Indiana’s roller coaster Spring weather, the tree blossoms were magnificent this year.

But alas we must wait for them again until next year. However, I can keep on wearing this smocked floral sundress for a good few months! It is so cute and so comfy and one those that when I saw it on the J.Crew Factory website I was like yes, MUST HAVE!

They’ve got a couple tops in this print too. But I can’t tell you this, it was so cold on the day my mom took these pictures for me, I should’ve been wearing a parka, not a sundress. Looks like temps finally take a turn for the better tomorrow! At least we think, LOL!

But tell me something? These “Factory” divisions of stores? J.Crew Factory, Gap Factory, Loft factory? Isn’t the “factory” clothing almost identical to the parent store clothing? Some of the prices may be a little less expensive but to be honest with you, I didn’t even know this dress came from the factory division of J.Crew? I thought I was actually on the regular J.Crew website, LOL
And truth be told, almost all our clothing garments were created in a factory anyway, so there’s that, lol.

AnyWho, no matter where it came from, it be CAAA-UTE! And I especially love it with more brights like the hot pink
Braided sandals, fun summer tote, bracelets stack and pink statement Earrings. A Jean Jacket is the icing on top.
