There is nothing I love more than a shoe that makes getting dressed everyday easy and effortless. It is funny because as I type this I can’t help but recall the same shoes I once coveted in elementary school is now starting to make a come back. I guess what goes around comes back around? I remember when my mom would take us back to school shopping every year, I would be the most excited when I got to wear my new pair of white Keds shoes that were meant to last me the school year. I was clearly into fashion at a very young age!
Fast forward many years later, sneakers are starting to become a fashion staple in my spring wardrobe this year. There’s your running sneakers, your banged up sneakers you slip on to run out to the grocery store, and now the sneakers that make a fashion statement. It is starting to become the norm to wear your sneaks with not only jeans and shorts but skirts and dresses too. I recently ordered these and I know they will be my go-to for running around the city on the weekends and for my upcoming trips in late spring and all through summer. Have you fallen victim to any sneaker trends?
PS: Have an amazing weekend! I will be keeping it low key on Saturday but spending most of Sunday with my mom for Mother’s Day 🙂 If you need some last minute gift inspiration, check out my Mother’s Day Gift Guide. Also, stop by tomorrow AM and I will be sharing my picks on some of the friends and family sales going on this weekend.

As you may or may not already know, my wedding is coming up this September. There are a lot of things to prepare for this monumental event. On top all the planning and decision making most brides are working to get into shape and get great skin. Of course both are top of mind for me. While the ‘getting fit’ part can be off and on, getting great skin can come a little easier – but with an investment.
I always knew about La Mer and how much people rave about it but I never thought to make the investment until I started working for Bluemercury (so please know I get a nice discount!). My main beauty goal is to focus on the best skin care so that I feel confident running out the door sans makeup or minimal makeup.
I have been fascinated by how much my skin has transformed when using specific beauty products, specifically La Mer. I don’t use all La Mer products for my full AM and PM routine (I am currently using/loving M-61 Power Cleanse as my cleanser and love my Darphin Jasmine Oil at night) but have been really enjoying the four products I have pictured above.
I mentioned in this post how much I love a good exfoliator and this one from La Mer doesn’t disappoint. It is a super gentle scrub that doubles as a mask. I put it on while doing my thing in the shower and leave it on for a few minutes then rinse. I use The Treatment Lotion as a serum of sorts to add back essential hydration and moisture to my skin after cleansing and before I apply The Soft Moisturizing Cream which does wonders in transforming my skin to perfection. The Miracle Broth in the cream plumps the skin to lessen the appearance of wrinkles, evens out skin tone, and gives my skin a healthy glow. Ahmazzzing! I have also noticed that it has been eliminating my redness and any acne! Lastly, I know a lot of women (and men) around my age (27) are concerned about the eye area. I have been loving The Eye Concentrate as I see immediate results – plumps, eliminates darkness, and calms any puffiness. Seriously an investment but it works! A little goes a long way with these products so I definitely feel like I get my moneys worth! Have you tried any La Mer? What did you think?
