Happy Tuesday, friends!

The whole sock-heel trend is something I have been secretly dying to try for some time now.  However, when out shopping or browsing online, "dainty anklet socks" are not on the top of my list.  Imagine my joy when this pair arrived on my doorstep from my friends at Kushyfoot.  Challenge accepted.

I can't lie to you.  I struggled styling these socks.  I perused hundreds of pins and Instagram photos, and tried on nearly half of my closet.  Either the colors didn't jive, or the proportions just made it look off.  My initial instinct was to pair them with a flirty dress or skirt to create somewhat of a vintage look.  It just wasn't me.  So, I dug these lace shorts out of the bottom of my dresser and built the outfit from there.  I knew I wanted to go in more of a chic, street-style direction so the Francine top from Urban Philosophy was a perfect choice.  Now that I have tackled socks with heels once, I am extremely eager to create more looks.  Perhaps a girly sock with a sandal?  

The perfect touch to this look was these new statement earrings from Christina Faithe Jewelry.  Seriously, everything from this store makes me happy!  The shapes and colors are so fresh and new.  Don't forget to use code SHOP for 10% off your purchase!  And check out her Instagram page for more inspo!

So friends, are you going to be trying this new trend soon?  Linkups below.

Happy Happy Friday, everyone!

don't worry - I don't really want to get physical with you.  I just have a strange love for ONJ. 

Ok, let's be honest.  I do not workout.  I just don't.  I wish I could sit here and tell you all about how I run five days a week and do workout videos and lift weights...  I don't.  ...I mean, did you notice I am wearing Reebox Runtones circa 2009?  Do they even make these anymore?

Growing up, all of my exercise was fun.  I was a dancer for 18 years, a gymnast for 9 {and the NC State Champion Gymnast when I was 6} a cheerleader for 2 years and a track-runner for about 3 months.  I was always so active doing things I love, so I never had to develop a love or even a like relationship with the gym.  Since high school I have tried to force a relationship and to develop a running schedule, but neither really jelled. 

But you know what I do love???!  Comfy, stylish workout gear.  Pink comfy, stylish workout gear.  For those days when I want to pretend, or for weekends filled with travel or errands, these pieces from Charles River Apparel could not be more perfect.  ps - Charles River Apparel is hosting a $500 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway on Instagram right now!   Go check out the giveaway and shop CRA on Amazon !  

Did you notice my socks match my gear?  Of course you did.  These suuuuper low-cut athletic socks from Kushyfoot are my newest obsession.   They are cut low enough to be invisible even with my chucks, and the inside of the heel is lined with a non-slip grip so they won't do that annoying fall down with every step thing.  

Thanks for reading!  Anyone else anti-workout so I feel better?  Have a great weekend!

When I saw this Umgee dress at my favorite local boutique a few weeks ago it had to come home with me.  I love the bold print and all of the details - the tassels on the sleeve are perfection!  I immediately knew I wanted to wear it with my J. Crew gold glitter pumps.  I kept everything in the same gold and black color scheme and added a pop of color with my favorite new Glamplaza bangles.  Glamplaza has an accessory for every look, and all at an incredible price.  And just in time for the Holidays, Glamplaza is giving one lucky reader the chance to win their very own set of bangles!  Just enter the Rafflecopter below!  The Giveaway will run until 12/22 - Good Luck!

 

I also wanted to tell you about this new find from Kushyfoot today - Flats To Go!  This is such an genius idea!  I cannot tell you how many times I have been at a party or wedding and had sit-down because I wear impractical shoes.  Thanks to Kushyfoot, I will be able to boogie all night long.  These adorable flats fold up to the size of a deck of cards so they can easily be stowed in any clutch or purse.  They come in a few different adorable prints and have grip on the bottom so you feel as though you are wearing real shoes.  These would make such a wonderful and unique gift for all of the high-heel lovers in your life!  Make sure to check out the other wonderful hosiery products Kushyfoot offers.  I have a pair of fleece-lined trouser socks that are perfect for boots!
