The Shoes You Need For Spring!


      Warm weather means spring has arrived! I love spring fashion and wanted to share a few of my favorite spring shoes with you! Ideal spring shoes to me are cute, comfortable, and versatile. Below I have listed five different types of shoes that I feel are perfect for spring.
     I am so excited that we are finally having actual spring weather here in Massachusetts. I hope you are all enjoying spring so far too!


Spring shoes


"Cute" Flats

The first type of shoe I will be sharing will you all is a "cute" pair of flats. Cute is in " " because I feel as though it is subjective. My idea of cute may be different than someone else's however there are shoes that a majority of people deem to be cute and that includes lace up flat or flats that tie. I definitely think that these shoes are perfect for spring because they are simple yet the tie part adds some interest and character. And as they are flats they will not cause your feet to get too hot in the warmer weather. They also come in such a variety of colors, texture, and even the placement of the tie can differ. So although they are a popular type of shoe you can still find a pair that is unique and perfect for your style! Mine are actually from Primark!




Sensible Flats

These are flats that are a bit more sturdy than the first pair. What I mean is that the shoes should not hurt your feet and you should be able to walk around comfortably. The flats above are definitely more fashion than function! There's nothing wrong with that at all ( I mean who doesn't want cute shoes) but there is also a need for functional ones too! I enjoy traveling, going on day trips or into the city and for this I like to wear shoes that are stylish yet comfy. It is important to wear things that are strong and will be able to support your feet. If you are out and about and your feet start hurting that will affect your mood and you probably won't have as good a time (I'm sure this has happened to many of you as it has definitely happened to me before).



Slip-ons

I think that these shoes are great because they can be very versatile. To me they are basically a mix of a sneaker and a flat. They go with so many types of outfits and can be dressed up or down!  These also come in many varieties, Vans are very popular and Steve Madden makes some great ones too. The classics are made of canvas but they come in other materials as well such as  leather. Also they are very easy and quick to put on.They're perfect for casual or can transition to night wear with some skinny jeans, a nice top and maybe an edgy jacket.




Simple Sandals

Sandals are usually considered summer footwear but they are also great for spring. They can transition your wardrobe and give your outfit a different vibe to fit the weather as it does start to get warmer. For me I think of summer sandals as being more "complicated". Now you might be thinking "Emily, what the heck do you mean by complicated?" So let me explain lol, what I mean is sandals with a lot more details or bright colors, tassels, lots of ties, etc. It is just my personal feeling that those elements seem to be more summery than springy! (You do not have to agree with me at all I just thought I'd share my reasoning). I like these simple buckle ones I found at Marshalls!




I got my sandals a couple seasons ago at Marshalls, I've linked a similar pair here

Sneakers


Sneakers are a given I feel. Spring and warmer weather means more outdoor activities and sneakers come in so handy for this. Not even just talking about hardcore athletic activities. Just taking a quiet walk is so beneficial and sneakers can keep your feet comfy! I really like Converse because they are so simple and classic in design. Adidas are also very popular right now and Nike is another option. Of course there are many other great brands that make sneakers, these are just the ones that I have had the most experience with and personally like the best.

Favorites from February

Hi everyone! Long time no "talk", I know. I need to post more consistently but college and work keeps me pretty busy. As I am writing this I should probably be doing accounting homework but that can wait until later! I really wanted to get this up.

There were a few products that I really got a lot of use out of other than the products I use on a daily basis for skincare that I wanted to talk about.



The first is the Wet & Wild palette in "Comfort Zone". I think I have had mentioned this item before. The pigmentation of the eye shadows is very good and I love the colors themselves. They are pretty neutral but you can use them in a variety of ways to create different looks.

The second is the Maybelline Better Skin Concealer/Corrector. This concealer has great coverage for me and does not cause me to breakout. I recommend checking it out.


I have also been loving the new Maybelline Fit Me line. I have one of the matte and poreless foundations and I really like it. It covers nicely and does not look caked on. I find that it lasts pretty long but that may be helped by the fact that I use a setting spray. This product does not irritate my skin and to me it actually makes m skin feel soft. It does have a matte finish like it's supposed to and overall I am very happy with this foundation!

Because it is winter that means I get dry skin a lot which s not fun. My lips also get chapped. I love using Vaseline on my lips and it's very convenient that they specifically make Vaseline "lip balm". The one I have has coconut butter. It not only hydrates my lips but it smells pretty good too!

One of my all time favorite perfumes is actually by Victoria's Secret, it is called Shine Pink. It has a nice, sweet floral scent and it lasts pretty long. I think it also helps me get in the mood for spring which can't seem to come soon enough!


Finally, the last product is a nail polish, it is Vernis Classique by Cherimoya in the shade Americano. I think this is a color that could really work for the majority of the year but I see it as being more of a fall/winter color. It is metallic and almost a bronze-silver color.  It is definitely one of the colors I got the most use out of this winter.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed! Feel free to let me know what you think about these products in the comments or what some of your favorites are!
