The Smoking Slipper

When Summer comes to a close, and I have to trade in my sandals for closed toed shoes, I’ll have to admit, the smoking slipper is my go-to pair of flats to wear. I am also a big fan of pointy toe flats, but right now, I’m all about the smoking slippers, and have been for several years. To say I have a few pairs is an understatement. You can tell the designers have had a lot of fun with them, too. There are so many great, unique styles now to choose from, so you don’t look like everyone else. I have them in almost every color. They’re great paired with skinny pants/jeans, and even some dresses with tights during the winter months. Don’t get me wrong, I love a great pair of heels, but when I am in need of a comfortable shoe to run errands/work in (that’s not a tennis shoe), the smoking slipper is my first choice. They keep your look put together. They’re chic, and always will be in my book.

I’ve got my eye on this pair right now…

Boden – The June/July Edit

Can you believe it’s almost July? I can’t. Maybe that’s because I’m in denial that I’ll be a year older in just a few short days (Eek!). Either way, I have a lot to be grateful for, and that’s how I intend to look at this birthday!

Moving right along, I decided to do a “June/July Edit” for Boden, mainly because it’s Monday, and I thought I’d brighten the day up a bit for you. Their styles are always so colorful and fun. I have a few dresses from them, and still love them years later. Their stuff is so well made, too. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m tall, so a longer dress is necessary. The good news for all of you tall girls out there, the majority of their dresses are also available in long! You don’t have to order a size larger (like I do in most places that don’t offer tall/long styles) to get the right length. That to me is worth a few extra dollars for sure.

Here are my current favorites at Boden. Do you love Boden as much as I do?

Sarah Ponte Dress

15WSUM_WH774_YEL_M99
This dress is gorgeous. It comes in several colors. I love this color and the navy.

 Sandra Sundress

15WSUM_WH808_NAV_M99
What a great Summer frock, right? I could wear this on a date night, girls night out and church! It’s so pretty and screams “have fun!”

 Kiera Ottoman Dress

15WSPR_WH789_BLU_M99
This stripe dress is just classic. I don’t need any convincing to add this to my shopping cart. Do you?

Pretty Embroidered Shorts

 15WSUM_WJ036_PNK
Pretty embroidered shorts. The name says it all. They would look great with a tee or dressed up with a pretty blouse! These are a Summer must.

Chic All in One

15WSUM_WM384_NAV_W01
I am not a fan of the rompers (not yet anyway), but this jumpsuit looks chic. Even better, it comes in long. I would wear a blazer/cardigan for day with flats. And for night, I’d wear it with a pair of cute heels, and throw a pashmina in my handbag in case it gets cold.

Festival Scarf

15WSUM_AD191_MUL
This is a “wear with everything” kind of scarf. It would look great with a pretty much any outfit you own. Plus, how can you ignore these pom-poms?

These flats are darling. I’d wear them year round…just one of the beautiful things about being Southern…we love color, and our weather allows us to wear them year round.

Happy Monday, Friends!
