Sneaker Crush

As a mom on-the-go who still likes to feel pulled together (most days!), sneakers have become my everyday shoe! I love that they can bring jeans and a simple tee up a notch while still allowing me to be comfortable.

I rounded up my favorites below. Are y'all on the sneaker bandwagon with me?

This pair is so cute and feminine. The grey would go with anything.
 

Zoey Slip-On

 

///

 

Loving the perforations and the neutral color.

 

 Scout Slip On Sneaker

 

///

 

Mules are so popular this season, and I'm liking that this is a cross between a mule and a sneaker. The best of both worlds!

 

 Rory Loafer Mule Sneaker

 

///

 

Love these. Also come in light brown if the blue is too bold for you!

 

 So Nice Slip-On Sneaker

 

///

 

These are kind of crazy, but I think they're fun. Life is too short for boring shoes, right?

 

 Z Glitter Sneaker

 

///

 

Such a pretty shade of blush.

Eden Perforated Slip On Sneaker

I like the fabric of this pair. A little dressier for a sneaker.

I have a pair of Ugg slip-ons, and they are so comfy. This pair is classic.

 

Adley Sneaker

So flirty and fun. I really want this pair.

 

Seychelles Quake

I've been wanting a pair of classic Gazelles, but I'm kind of liking this light purple pair. Not that I need light purple sneakers, but these are so cute.

 

Adidas Originals Gazelle

 

///

 

Leopard is a neutral, IMO. These would go with so much!

 

 Sperry Gold Cup Rey

 

///

 

Adore these! A little preppier than I normally choose, but I think they'd be perfect with a cozy fall sweater and jeans.

 

All Black Tasseled Suede Sneakers

 

///

 

A fun metallic pair with a pretty design.

 

 Steve Madden Episode

 

///

 

Love the go-with-everything shade and the scallops are such a fun detail.

 

Somers II Slip-On Sneaker

 

///

 

Simple and classic.

 

 Riyan Waterproof Sneaker

 

///

 

I have a pair of Minnetonka booties, and they're comfy and just fabulous. I'm smitten with this pair.

 

 Pacific Slip-On Sneaker

 

///

 

Loving the olive green and the platform heel for a dressier vibe.

 

 Waylan Slip-On Sneaker

 

///

 

Classic black...similar to a pair of Vans I have and wear often.

///

 

How cute is the basketweave on these?

Drooling over here. Superga sneaks are the best. And purple crushed velvet. I'm in love.

Loving Lately

Fall is swiftly approaching, and even the temps here in Mississippi are cooling off a little bit!

 

Below I'm sharing some things I'm loving lately...things that will perfectly transition you to fall and will work layered as the season progresses. I don't know about you, but when I think of fall, I think cozy...and I think that's reflected here. Enjoy! :)

My love for the peplum tee continues. It'd be so cute on its own or with a utility vest thrown over for a little more weight.

 

Peplum Tee

///

Obsessed with these slides. Looks like slides are going to be big this season, and I think they're so pretty and quickly up an outfit from casual to a little more pulled together.

Seychelles Survival

 

///

The ruffle adds something fun to an otherwise simple white tee.

Ruffle Hem Tee

 

 ///

These girlfriend jeans have gotten rave reviews. They're high on my wish-list, but I worry I may be too tall for the inseam. Shorter gals, please get these for me! :)

 

Ripped Girlfriend Jeans

///

I'd put this on and never take it off.

Beach Haven Tee

  

///

Round sunglasses are trending, and these are a dupe for the cute Ray Ban pair I've seen around!

Frieda Sunglasses

 

///

If you've been a reader of mine for a bit, you know my love for sneakers knows no end. How cool is this pair? Adore the copper accents on the black.

 New Balance Classics

///

Such a pretty, feminine sweater.

Speckled Tie Back Double V Sweater

 

///

I actually ordered this and will report back when I get it in. The reviews are stellar. Looks like the perfect lightweight jacket for those mornings and evenings that are a little cool.

Knit Moto Jacket

 

///

I'm always going to be a hoop girl. These are simple and classic and will go with anything.

Sculptural Hoop Earrings

  

///

The cutout ups the edge on this sweater. Also comes in black, and I can't decide which color I like better!

Cutout Sweater

 

///

Such a fun sweater! I love that the color is so girly, but the style is more of a boyfriend, loose fit. I'd wear it with girlfriend jeans and booties.

Knit Tunic

///

Are y'all as stoked for fall as I am? Tell me your favorites in the comments and let me know what's at the top of your wish list!

Hope everyone has a great day!

 

Back-to-School Essentials

It's back-to-school time! Lily had her first day yesterday, and Hadley starts Monday. With that said, I wanted to share some of the things we can't live without during the school year.

 

And add your picks in the comment section! We're always looking for things to make the year run more smoothly.

The best backpack for little ones, hands-down. Comes in a variety of colors and prints and is especially cute personalized. It's durable and big enough for all the many things they'll bring home each day.

 

Mackenzie Periwinkle Blue Kitty Backpack

 

///

 

I just ordered this devotional for the girls and me, and my goal is to read a devotion with them each morning while they're eating breakfast. The mornings are hectic, but I imagine this will take 5 minutes or less. And I KNOW it will be a good way to start our day.

 

Jesus Calling: 365 Devotions for Kids

Cute water bottles with rave reviews, and they're easy for kids to operate.

 

Contigo Kids Autospout Gizmo Water Bottles

 

///

 

I was gifted these vitamins recently, and the girls have really enjoyed them. I've seen them in so many stores, so they'd be an easy option to add to breakfast time.

 

Lil' Ollys Kids' Multi

 

///

 

These are the vitamins my girls take, and I've ordered them from a friend for a few years now. Unlike the Olly brand, you have to buy these from a distributor. When Lily started taking them, I noticed a huge decrease in the number of times she was sick during the school year. I'm a big believer that they boost the immune system. And they're another great option if your kiddo doesn't like fruits or veggies.

 

Juice Plus+ for Kids

 

///

 

These labels are perfect for reusable water bottles, sippy cups, or baby bottles. They stretch over the cup, and you don't have to remove them for the dishwasher.

 

Orbit Labels

 

///

 

Lily picked out these kicks for back-to-school. She learned to tie her shoelaces in kindergarten, so she's drawn to laces now. Love the silver, and the back of the shoe has a pop of purple!

 

Metallic Sneakers

 

///

 

As a nurse, I can handle most anything gross, medically-speaking. But I am terrified of lice. I've heard it's almost inevitable in school-age children, but I'm doing anything I can to prevent it. This spray (also comes in shampoo form) works as a preventative. And I LOVE that it's natural.

 

SoCozy Boo! Lice Scaring Spray

 

///

 

Lily keeps one of these clipped to her backpack, and I have them stashed everywhere. Back to school means back to germs...this is a quick way to clean your hands!

 

Purell Jelly Wrap Portable Sanitizer

 

///

 

Lily is keychain-obsessed. Her backpack is loaded down with various ones she's picked up over time. She got to pick a new one for the school year, and this was her choice. What a cute furry creature, and it also serves as a coin purse.

 

Girls' Furry Monster Keychain

 

///

 

Lily's classroom gets really cold, so I like to send her with a jacket each day to keep warm. How cute is this one? Perfect weight for this time of year.

 

Embroidered Utility Jacket

 

///

 

I'm sure it's the same everywhere, but we have to label EVERYTHING! I adore these (I mean, how cute?!?!) because they're dishwasher and washing machine safe! I also think they'd be cute as a gift tag of sorts on presents.

 

My Deer Custom Name Labels

 

///

 

My girls like to wear dresses, and these shorts are great for underneath. They come in white, black, and grey and are just $5.

 

Jersey Stretch Shorts

 

///

 

Hadley's school strongly encourages close-toed shoes. We love Keds, and this pair is just right for play, and they hold up really well. Plus they look just as cute with dresses as they do with shorts or leggings!

 

Keds Kids Daphne

Love the sizes of these blocks for the lunchbox. The smaller ones hold a sweet treat nicely.

 

Rubbermaid LunchBlox Sandwich Container Kit

 

///

 

Storing pencils in here makes homework a little easier and a little more fun. We keep stickers in the smaller pouch and have a homework chart. I like that these pouches keep Lily's school supplies for home organized and in one place.

 

Yoobi Zipper Pouch Set

 

///

 

Like the backpack, this lunchbox is hard to beat. I've seen so many soft ones out there, and I like that this one is soft but has shape. A zippered area on the inside fits an ice pack perfectly, keeping lunch cold.

 

Mackenzie Periwinkle Blue Kitty Classic Lunch Bag

I want to hear some of the back-to-school items you can't live without!

 

I hope all our little ones (and big ones) have a wonderful school year. And thank you TEACHERS! You're the real MVP! ;)
