One shoe, four outfits, our weekend wardrobe

category Apparel // Fashion // Shoes

Weekends are made for relaxing, waking up whenever you feel like it, and catching up on me time… Or we time if you have friends and family you actually like spending time with.

Which is why we love a good weekend shoe with more versatility than duck tape (duck tape literally solves any of life’s problems!). Enter the Doris sandal. These shoes are weekend warriors! Seeing us through all our weekend adventures.

 

Since we can’t let a good shoe go uncelebrated – seriously, it’s like our thing – check out how we’ll be wearing our favorite sandals all weekend long!


Saturday Afternoon: Sunbathing at the park


Saturday Evening: Drinks on the patio


Sunday Morning: Brunch with the family

Whether you’re a chic bookworm or a free-spirited fashionista, DV by Dolce Vita’s pre-fall 2012 collection has something for every girl this season!

We’re so excited to sport the collection’s fun polka dot pieces in blue and gold and rugby stripes that just scream prep school-cool! However with Aztec-reminiscent prints thrown in the mix, we’re inspired to cut class, skip work and take a desert road trip…

The Chale romper is without a doubt my favorite piece in this collection! But it’s hard to not have a crush on the effortlessly feminine and oh so versatile Dolora skirt.

The collection gets an A+ in my book for striking a perfect balance of flowy and cozy.  While the Dolora skirt and Diza top are my go-to’s for staying cool in the late summer sun, I can’t wait to warm up in the Dayva pullover and Calvin cardigan once autumn chills permeate the air.

The DV pre-fall collection is full of fancy footwork! We are totally excited to get our hands on yet another pair of everyone’s favorite oxford, the Mini, which now comes in gorgeous spotted calf!  However my personal favorite shoe addition is the Demi Mary Jane Pump whose electric blue suede is an absolute show-stopper.

Office Style: Crazy About Janna

category Office Style // Shoes

Dating back to before I could even walk in big-girl heels, sandal wedges have been my go-to in the summer months.  And if I could wear them in the dead of winter too, I would.  This year, it’s the DV Janna wedge that I keep coming back to.

This shoe is as versatile as they come, and trust me, the office has noticed!  Being around stylish girls at work all day, I get to gawk at how they each bring their own style to make the shoe their own.

Katie shows how with a neutral shoe, you can feel free to go nuts with colors and patterns without looking overdone.

Perfection.  Cali and Jillian, from our New York office are perfect opposites in their Jannas!  The orange Janna is the perfect pop of color for the DV Zanna maxi dress (another obsession of mine…whole other post).  And the black Janna looks killer with the lace shorts.  Can’t go wrong with leather and lace.

Elaine has my favorite on, the snake print.  Mixing prints in neutral colors, done right!

Kim toughens up this otherwise-sweet sandal with some jean cutoffs, a band tee, and a leather jacket.
