The Top 5 Shoes You Need For Spring 2019

Hey everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. Today I’m sharing the top 5 pairs of shoes you need for Spring 2019. Shoes and bags are my weakness so they’re always the first thing I shop for each season. Plus they’re the most fun to shop for because your shoe size always remains the same even if you put on a few extra pounds over the winter. LOL You can always depend on shoes to still fit you the same! Scroll through this post to see which shoes I purchased for myself for spring.

See how I styled the blush pair of shoes all the way to the right here—> My Travel Preparation Routine

See how I styled these espadrilles here—> The Handbag Everyone will be Carrying this Season

1) The Micro Wedge | I highly suggest a short wedge sandal that you can easily dress up or down with all of your spring outfits. They are especially great for vacations because your feet can last longer in a shorter pair of heels. I love these Leera Wedges by Vince Camuto and they come in a ton of different colors.

2) The Platform Wedge | While micro wedges are easy and practical, I also love me some chunky platform wedges to wear out with little spring dresses and matching sets. I love how they elongate my legs especially in a tan color that matches my skin tone. I highly recommend the Glyn Wedge Espadrilles and these laser cut Wedge Espadrilles.

3) The Everyday Sneaker | I can’t get enough of everyday sneakers lately. It’s all I want to wear especially during this awkward in between season time of year. I love my Golden Goose Sneakers, but I know those are pretty pricey so here a couple of other sneakers I like too.

I also love these neutral colored sneakers by Vince Camuto because they go with everything and the perforated style makes them perfect for warm days.

4) The Statement Shoe | I always love having a statement shoe for every season and right now crisp white and clear details are having a huge moment so mix them tougher and you have the perfect trendy statement shoe. I love these white lucite pumps (also available here).

5) The Metallic Slide | I wore these slide sandals all last spring and summer in both rose gold and tan. In fact, I liked them so much that I scooped up a third pair during the Shopbop Sale in the rose gold color again because I wore that color the most so it was time for a new pair.

Top Kitchen Appliances For Less

Hey everyone, today I’m sharing two of my favorite kitchen appliances to use during the holidays that you can find for less on Ebay.  From holiday tablescapes and festive décor to those key kitchen and home appliances, find everything you need to get your home holiday-ready on eBay. I love getting to use my copper Kitchenaid Mixer to cook and bake holiday treats and our Ninja Coffee Bar always comes in handy when we’re entertaining guests. We of course use our Ninja Coffee Bar every morning to brew our daily coffee, but it’s especially ideal when you’re trying to accommodate multiple people since it offers so many different settings and options.

I had the copper Kitchenaid Mixer on my list for years before I actually go it and it is 100% worth the splurge!  The beautiful rose gold color really pops against my grey backsplash in my kitchen and totally elevates my countertops. That and the fact that it makes baking so much easier.  Let’s be real here though… most of us just love how pretty of an appliance it is whether we actually bake or not. And I’m here to tell you that it does live up to it’s prettiness! LOL

As for our Ninja Coffee Bar, I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about this appliance a lot considering we use it everyday. It’s completely changed the coffee game for us. In fact, we usually prefer drinking coffee at home now instead of running out for a coffee drink.

Both of these kitchen appliances are available on Ebay along with plenty more kitchen accessories and electronics I love like espresso machines and the famous Dyson Cordless Vacuum. Be sure to keep an eye out for eBay’s daily deals here—> www.ebay.com/deals

Did you know that 81% of all merchandise sold on eBay is new and available with the “Buy It Now” option? That means you’re getting amazing deals on brand new items!

We’re hosting a Cookie & Hot Cocoa party this weekend for all of our friends to get together for Christmas and I plan on setting everything up very similar to how I did on National Cookie Day.

What are some of your favorite kitchen appliances?

Uniworld Paris to Paris River Cruise Recap

Hey everyone, today I’m finally sharing my Uniworld Paris to Paris River Cruise Recap. Blake and I went on our first river boat cruise through Paris and Normandy  this past October on the B ship, which is one of Uniworld’s newly renovated ships. We had an absolute blast exploring Paris, Rouen, Versailles and more with our U hosts. What are U hosts? They’re two fun and knowledgable hosts that work with U by Uniworld to guide the guests through all the cities they explore on the cruise, which is super ideal when you’re visiting new places in a foreign country. This was our first time to Paris so we were clueless and really enjoyed having guides to ensure that we had the best experience.

On our first day in Paris, we boarded the B ship and ate dinner in the dining room before our hosts took us to see the Eiffel Tower at night. The boat was docked near Tour Eiffel so we all just walked together in group. There were only about 70 guests on board so all of our tours were very small and intimate, which we really liked because it made all of our tours and excursions more enjoyable.

The U hosts knew all the best spots to view the Eiffel Tower as well all of the history behind it. Since it was our first time ever seeing the Eiffel Tower, it was magical getting to see it all lit up and twinkling at night. It was definitely a moment I’ll never forget.

On Day 2, we sailed to Conflans-Sainte-Honorine to tour the Palace of Versailles. The excursion was included with the cruise package and came with a guided walking tour, which was so nice because Versailles is so overwhelming that I wouldn’t have even known where to start.

The food on the B Ship was excellent and came with 14 meals. We ate a delicious breakfast or brunch every morning on the boat and then we always ate somewhere in town for lunch. Dinner was served every night on the ship and we always looked forward to it because they offered such a wide selection plus dessert.

On day 3 we docked at Rouen, which was our favorite stop next to Paris. It was a cool city with a beautiful cathedral and plenty of shopping and restaurants. We even did a mini bar crawl the night before we left.

On Day 4, we visited the cliffs of Étretat, which was so beautiful. We even climbed all the way to the top. It was kind of a long walk, but totally worth it! After taking in the beautiful views, we headed to Honfleur for lunch and some more site seeing. Honfleur was the mostly darling little fishermen’s town, and I actually wish we would have had more time there because it was so cute. For lunch we tried their signature mussels dish and it was pretty good considering that I rarely ever eat mussels. 

We would have no clue where to go in Honfleur without our U hosts. They were so helpful when it came to less touristy places.

On day 5, we took it easy in Vernon and only ventured off for a little while before coming back to the boat to just relax and enjoy the deck before cruising back to Paris. The newly renovated U by Uniworld B ship has a full service bar and plenty of cool spots to just hang out. So that’s exactly what we did.

On day 6, we returned to Paris and hit the ground running! Literally though (see photo above). We kicked off our first day back in Paris with a delicious Parisian food tour that we set up through U by Uniworld.

The food tour was led by a local Parisian and he took us to specialty food shops in Montmartre to pick out each item of food. We went to a bakery for fresh baguettes, a pastry shop for croissants, a local cafe for truffle and so on. Then we carried everything to a cute boutique hotel and feasted in their courtyard. We felt so cool and french and everything tasted fresh and delicious!

On day 7, we visited the stunning Palais Garnier opera house and Galeries Lafayette for some shopping. We even walked to the top of Galeries Lafayette to enjoy the beautiful rooftop views.

We celebrated our last night with U by Uniworld at the world famous Moulin Rouge’s Lady Marmalade show. The show was fabulous and I high recommend it. It was so fun getting all dressed to visit Moulin Rouge and thankful a bus transported us so we didn’t have to walk in heels!

We couldn’t leave Paris without snapping some beautiful photos in front of the iconic Eiffel tower at dawn before it was flooded with tourists.

My Go-To Look For Everyday Wear

Hey everyone, as most of you know, I live right outside of New Orleans and I recently realized that I don’t share enough of the Big Easy with you. So I decided that I’m going to start bringing you along on more of my NOLA adventures starting today with a trip to District Donuts. If you live in the area, then I’m sure you’re familiar with this delightful donut joint. If you aren’t, then believe me when I say that it 100% lives up to all the hype. Not only do they serve up mouthwatering specialty donuts like s’mores and salted caramel, but they also fry up some of the best chicken sliders I’ve ever tasted! Let’s just say I may have unbuttoned my jeans on the ride home after stuffing my face with fried chicken, waffle fries and s’mores flavored donuts!

Speaking of my jeans, I styled my distressed denim with cropped a classic Polo Ralph Lauren shirt, nude mules and a saddle bag. I knotted my polo shirt in front to maintain the edgy vibe of my ripped jeans and wrapped a striped, silk scarf around my handbag for some added style. I love wearing a simple white shirt with distressed denim and nude shoes because it always looks effortlessly chic. It’s always my go-to look for a day of errands and lunch in the city. Plus I love adding different accessories to easily change up the look for everyday wear. How would you wear this cropped Polo Ralph Lauren shirt?
