Lots of trends turn up on runways and in stores every season. I ignore many of them as fads. They need to be suited to my age and lifestyle. I also look for items and styles that have wearability and longevity. So, I was excited to see plaid turn up as a major trend for Fall 2019. I have always LOVED plaid! I guess it reflects my more classic style. Plaid isn’t just for stodgy old men and flannel shirt lovers.  Sport this classic pattern in everything from full suits, as shown above, to fun shoes.

Today, I am sharing some of my favorite plaids this season in a variety of items.

BLAZERS AND JACKETS

 An oversized plaid double breasted blazer pairs beautifully with a pair of jeans and a tee.

 Another oversized plaid blazer is offered in a rich desert color.

 A simple glen plaid works with lots of wardrobe items.

 The fringed edges and bright plaid lend a modern flair to this darling plaid blazer.

 The contrast trim and sharp tailoring of this jacket elevate its look.

 A subdued plaid jacket  offers comfort in a knit fabric. I also spy some animal print peeking out here.

 A rosy colored plaid blazer adds a femine flair to the menswear inspired fabric.

 A longer length and multi fall color plaid make this a versatile jacket.

 Get an early jump on holiday style with this beautiful metallic plaid blazer.

 Embrace the green trend as well as plaid with this pine color blazer.

 A cross between a coat and a blazer, this jacket fends off the chill of autumn air.

 A lightweight jacket transitions the seasons.

 More of a coat, the shearling collar adds a cozy vibe to this jacket.

PANTS

 They are Burberry, the iconic plaid. Need I say more?

 Sophisticated slim fitting pants work with a blouse and heels for work and a casual sweater with flats for the weekend.

 The cropped cut and tie waist keep these pants feminine.

A ponte knit and kick flare pants offer a perfect way to showcase your new fall booties. However, unless you have abs of steel, I recommend skipping the midrift baring top! LOL

 Just add a cozy sweater to this stylish pair of plaid leggings, also available in other colors of plaid.

SHOES

 Slip on this black plaid pump with a great block heel for a fun look.

 I love this tartan plaid pump for Manolo Blahnik fans.

 Who says flats can’t be stylish?

 Another flat in rich fall colors.

 Slide into some bow tie mules for a polished look.

 Try a perfect preppy flat in a plaid by Jack Rodgers.

 I love the idea of these booties with cropped pants.

 Step out in these booties with just the right amount of Burberry plaid.

Have I convinced you to be “mad for plaid”? Styles, patterns and price points in plaid are abundant this fall. I hope you choose to introduce some of this menswear pattern into your wardrobe this fall!

 The cicadas are humming loudly and sunsets are earlier… a sure sign that fall isn’t far away.  While it is hard to say goodbye to summer, fall is actually my favorite season.  I love the crisp cool days with no humidity and gorgeous fall colors. With the cooler weather comes a clothing transition from tees and linen tops to sweaters and jackets.  Long cardigans and long sweater jackets are a staple in my wardrobe now. They offer an updated look to the classic cardigan. I throw one on as an easy layer that also gives a long, lean look.

Today, I am sharing some of my favorite long cardigans available this fall. I am purposely showing them in autumn colors, but many of them have multiple color options.

A long sweater blazer also acts as a great jacket over just about anything in your fall wardrobe.  This beautiful heather khaki color looks equally stunning with navy, black, grey, and oh yes – animal print.

Offered in an on trend color for fall, this cozy cardigan just oozes warmth and casual comfort.

A chic wool/cashmere sweater in a gorgeous rust shade warms any fall day. Also pair this with all black for a sophisticated look.

 Who can resist a sweater with the color name of Heather Malbec. Doesn’t the color look exactly like that of Malbec wine?

 This versatile merino wool sweater is a bit lighter in weight and not quite as long as some.

 A perfect solution for when we want a few buttons on our cardigan, is this lovely sweater in a soft pewter.

This elegant, cashmere cardigan has a sophisticated flare with its ombre animal print.

 A fun and colorful leopard print cardigan is extra cozy on those chilly days.

 The rich olive green shade sets this cardigan apart from others.

 A perfect compliment to black, this grey/black tipped cardigan jacket elevates any look.

I am still deciding which long cardigans to add to my wardrobe this fall. Which ones strike your fancy for protection against the coming autumn chill?

 August brings the “dog days of summer”. I translate that to mean lots of heat! When the daily temperatures head above 90 degrees I reach for the linen in my closet. As I have shared in the past, it is one of my favorite fabrics. It is lightweight, comfortable and chic. I don’t care if it wrinkles. I consider a few wrinkles part of it’s charm. I was heading out on a particulary warm day recently and decided to snap this picture in my hallway mirror. Please forgive the phone in my face! Lol! I am dressed in linen from head to toe. Well, the shoes aren’t technically linen – but have that look with a great espadrille style and wedge.

Today, I am sharing the items (or similar ones) I am wearing in the photo above. You too can stay cool and comfy when temperatures rise!

PANTS

 These pants are a beautiful soft color. I’d call it flax. It features wide legs for a non cling fit and an elastic waist for comfort. Back pockets add extra style.

T-SHIRT

 The v-neck linen tee I am wearing is sold out, but try a scoop neck top for an equally attractive look.

SWEATER

  The cardigan I am wearing is a couple years old. Similar in style is this beautiful white linen long cardigan. The white compliments any linen pants. I find it a good idea to always have a sweater handy to combat overzealous air conditioning.

SANDALS

 I wear my favorite summer wedges everywhere. They aren’t made of linen, but the color is appropriately called “Linen”.

Ahh! The comfort and ease of linen helps me beat the heat. I hope I have inspired you to adopt the casual look of linen into your wardrobe as we endure the “dog days of summer”!

XO,

Summer is here in Chicago with all its glorious heat and humidity.  The weather forecast shows highs hitting 100 degrees on Friday and Saturday.  Yikes! Those temperatures don’t even factor in the humidity.  What’s a girl to do to stay cool and still look good? I wear the coolest fabrics possible and stay inside or position myself near a body of water.  I believe summer should be a time of less! Fewer commitments, less and lighter clothing, low fuss hair, and especially less makeup.

Less doesn’t mean unpresentable. I still want to look my best in the midst of a heat wave, but an overdone look in the summer just doesn’t work. Think of natural hair and simple, lighter makeup.

Today, I am sharing my “summer face”. I use a few basic products for a natural look suitable for a hot summer day.

 I love this Clinique Color Corrector CC Cream. It pulls triple duty – oil free moisturizer, spf 30 suncreen, and color to even out uneven skin tone. Choose from five different color tones. I use the light/medium shade.

 I smooth a little Clinique line smoothing concealer on my lids and under my eyes to hide any undereye shadows and even out lid imperfections.

 Brushing on a bit of MAC Bronzing Powder on my cheekbones gives me natural looking summery color. I apply the powder to parts of my face that the sun would naturally hit.

 I define my brows with Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer  in taupe. I love this product as I have shared before. Without it my brows are basically non existent.

 Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil lines my top and bottom lids. It’s a fabulous award winning waterproof liner available in 38 colors. I prefer a natural brown shade. It glides on easily and sets quickly for a long lasting look.

 Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara finishes off my eyes. It’s formula adds volume, length and curl in addition to being waterproof.

Lastly, I smooth some Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip and Cheek Stain in pink over my lips. A stain that naturally adjusts to my individual chemistry and moisturizers provides just the right balance for a soft summer lip.

With seven wonderful beauty products I have completed my “summer face”. I feel I am putting my best face forward and at the same time attaining a lighter, glowing, summery look. The entire process is easily under 5 minutes. No wilting and runny makeup here! I’m ready for a day spent reveling in summer.

I hope you embrace the idea of a light, natural look for summer. Why waste precious time on a tedious and heavy makeup routine. These beautiful, hot, humid days will be over before we know it. Get out and enjoy them!

Our eyes are often called the window to our soul. Naturally, we look into someone’s eyes when they are speaking. With that said, it would stand to reason that we want our eyes to look their best at all times. Some women are predisposed to hooded eyelids. Others experience the gravitional pull of the upper eyelids downward as they age. Over time eyes seem to disappear beneath the hooded skin that hangs over them. Are we destined to eyes seemingly sinking further and further in? Aside from plastic surgery, what can be done? Fortunately, we have makeup and lots of tips and tricks to help our eyes take center stage on our face.

Today, I plan to share a few of those tips and tricks. I certainly didn’t invent these tips, but I’ve selected the ones that have worked best for me.

USE AN EYELID PRIMER

 One of my favorite primers is the Laura Mercier Eye Basics. Select from a variety of colors to suit your particular skin coloring. Apply the primer from lid to browbone, essentially your whole upper eyelid.  The primer hides imperfections, brightens the eye and provides a creaseproof canvas for eyeshadow. Wear it also without eyeshadow on “no makeup” days!

USE A WHITE PENCIL

 Lining the waterline with white pencil allows your eyes to stand out, preventing them from receding. A little white pencil in the inner corners will also draw your eyes outward.

 The Estee Lauder pearl color pencil  is more subdued and natural looking than a pure white pencil.

APPLY A MEDIUM COLOR EYESHADOW IN A STRAIGHT LINE ACROSS LID

 Sweep a medium/darker matte (not frost or shimmer) eyeshadow in your crease and slightly above. Draw the shadow out toward the corner of your eye. Using a good brush blend well and sweep toward the outer edge of the brow.

 MAC offers a beautiful array of eyeshadows that I happen to love.

LINE YOUR LIDS

 Line your upper lid and be careful not to pull the pencil downward. Consider stopping just short of the outside corner. Line only the outer third of the lower lid to avoid closing your eyes in.

 I like the glide on ease that this Clinique pencil offers.

CURL YOUR LASHES

Curling eyelashes only takes a minute and truly makes a difference in opening up the eyes. The Lancome LeCurler is only one of many styles and brands of eyelash curlers available.

Don’t forget to finish off your lashes with your favorite waterproof mascara. Chanel makes a fabulous mascara.

DEFINE YOUR BROWS

Nothing frames our eyes better than a well done eyebrow.  Select a pencil or powder, your choice, in a color a shade or two darker than your hair color. Fill in your sparce brows with hairlike strokes.  Be sure to extend the brow out the entire width. As we age, the tails of our brows become sparse or nonexistant. Carefully draw those tails on if you have to. Fill in from the top of the brow, rather than the bottom, to open the eyes up even more.

 I am a devoted user of the Anastasia Brow Definer. I love the triangular tip for drawing/filling in.

Voila!! Your hooded eyes are now beautifully open! While this is certainly not an exhaustive list of makeup tips for hooded eyes, I hope you find them useful in showing off the window to your soul!

 AHHH… Linen! It just shouts summertime! I have an obession with all things linen. I especially love linen camp shirts and breezy wide leg linen pants. (as shown above by blogger Songofstyle.com). The beauty of linen is the lightness of the fabric. Linen keeps its cool even on the hottest of days. The fabric is truly a classic. Yes, it wrinkles. But, I believe that adds to its casual appeal for summer. It looks chic, yet not overdone. I find it genuinely  helpful as I become more mature in age. Linen pants are certainly more flattering than shorts, and the lightweight fabric covers my arms and keeps me cool.

Wear linen in multiple ways. Pair a beautiful linen blouse with a skirt or a pair of jeans on a cooler day. Try a white tee with linen pants. Look for linen in a variety of colors as well as prints. Wear it wrinkled or freshly pressed – you be the judge.

Today, I am sharing some of my favorite linen items to help you keep your cool this summer.

BLOUSE

A white linen shirt is a classic and a must in every summer wardrobe.

 A rich blue popover linen camp shirt with roll tab cuffs looks equally beautiful with white or black.

Add a little twist to the white linen shirt with this fringed tunic. Choose from navy or white.

 A linen split neck top is lovely in lavender.

 The beauty of black and white is undeniable. Pair your white jeans with this linen black notched collar shirt.

 A tie front linen blouse says cool and casual.

 A body skimming top in linen chambray stands up to any heatwave.

DRESS

 A flax linen sleeveless shirt dress is a wardrobe basic. Add accessories of your choosing.

 A white fringe hem A line dress takes you out for many occasions. I also like it in black for a more dressed up feel.

Great for errands or lunch with friends, a simple linen dress is offered in four colors.

 Ideal for a hot summer day, pair this linen top with its coordinating skirt.

 Sparkle linen and floaty sleeves make this dress a standout.

 Linen, pockets and a modern stripe – say yes to this maxi dress.

 This dress has some lyocell blended with the linen, but is such a lovely summer dress  I had to include it.

PANTS

 This classic linen trouser (with a bit of viscose and elastine added) elevates any summer look. The straw color is perfect paired with a white linen blouse. The NYDJ pants also have the added bonus of the lift/tuck technology.

 A lined white linen palazzo pant is a great summer alternative to a dress for a special evening out.

A paperbag waist and ankle length define these fabulous linen pants.

 Ooze casual appeal with a linen jogger pant.

A comfortable elasticized back, tie waist and wide leg are found in these great linen pants in a natural color.

A full leg crop pant in linen is right on trend. Black offers more dressed up appeal.

Summer is upon us! Stay cool by introducing some linen into your wardrobe. Classic and chic, linen carries you from a day at the beach to an evening out on the town!

 On a recent Saturday, Bill and I decided to jump in the car and head up to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin for the day.  The beautiful resort area is a mere 90 minutes from our house, making it a delightful destination on a spectacular summer day.

Those of you who live in Chicago know Lake Geneva well. For others, I’ll provide a a bit of background information. Geneva Lake (the actual lake’s name) is located just over the border of Illinois in the southeastern part of Wisconsin. There are approximately 22 miles of shoreline and a surface area of 5,263 acres. It is the second deepest spring fed lake in Wisconsin. Three towns reside on Geneva Lake; Lake Geneva, Williams Bay and Fontana. Each town offers a little different feel. The area first became known as a getaway for the rich and famous, as evidenced by the many mansions gracing its shores. The abundance of actitivites continue to make it a popular destination for permanent residents, summer residents and visitors alike. Swimming, boating, sailing, fishing, golfing and shopping are among the most popular activities. But don’t stop there, as ziplining, water parks, hot air balloons, and horseback riding are also offered. Culture lovers appreciate the theater and music.  Festivals and farmers markets add to the fun. Restaurants and drinking establishments abound, offering something for everyone’s tastebuds and wallets. I think I could write for the local convention bureau! Lol!

Needless to say, there is something for everyone in the Lake Geneva resort area. Today, I will share a few of my favorite choices.

WALKING THE SHORE PATH

 Walking the shore path around the lake provides an intimate look at both the water and beautiful residences that line its frontage. I’m not sure if it is a law or a local ordinance that specifies all property owners must provide a path along the lakeshore. This means that anyone can walk the entire way around. I have not walked the 22 miles at one time, but have hiked different sections of it on many occasions. The walk is exhilarating and allows me to be a just a few feet from the water while gazing at magnificent homes along the way.

We started our hike at the darling Lake Geneva library. Large windows face the lake. What a view while reading!

 Boats glistened in one of the harbors as we began our walk.

It was hard to know which way to look, the sparkling lake or the spectacular homes.

 All docks are wood and painted brightly white. The crisp color of the docks against the blue water provides a gorgeous picture.

BOATING

 We did not go boating on this trip, but have enjoyed countless hours doing so on other occasions. Bill still needed to check out a few new boats for sale at Gage Marine.

 Lake Geneva offers lots of opportunities to sail also.

 If racing around on a speedboat, or sailing is not your thing, try a tour. A large variety of tours are offered. One of the most fun tours is the mailboat tour. All residents who live on the shores of Geneva Lake receive their mail by boat. Teens, hired each summer after tryouts, jump off the boats at each dock to deliver mail ….quite a sight to see!

GOLFING

 Golf is a passion for both of us! Geneva National offers 54 holes of golf. The three courses were designed by Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, and Lee Trevino.  Having played here, I can say they all offer a unique challenge, reflecting the players who designed them.

 The Abbey Springs golf course offers stunning vistas of Geneva Lake. Be prepared to walk up and down a lot of hills here.

The Grand Geneva Resort has two spectacular golf courses also, The Brute and The Highlands. I have only played The Highlands because who wants to play a course called The Brute? From what I have heard, it stands up to its name.

SWIMMING/SUNBATHING

Riviera Beach in Lake Geneva was not too crowded on the day we were there.

 The Fontana Beach is my favorite!  This photo was taken before the beach opened for the day.

Williams Bay also has a lovely public beach.  Homeowners and Homeowner Associations have their own private beaches.

DINING (LUNCH)

After we completed our 13,000 steps, (That’s what my phone said! Lol!) we decided a little nourishment was in order. Wanting something light, we decided to check out this darling restaurant, Great Eggs, we had walked by in Lake Geneva earlier. Specializing in custom wrap sandwiches, It was hard to decide. I finally decided on a chicken ceasar wrap in a garlic tortilla. And to accompany it, a Spotted Cow beer. When in Wisconsin…..  And no, I didn’t splurge on any cheese curds.

Gordy’s Boathouse Restaurant in Fontana is always a favorite spot to dine, and great if you are looking for some nightime fun!

Dining spots are way too numerous to cover in just one post, so I’ll leave that for another time.

SHOPPING

 Energized after a bite to eat, we set out for some shopping. Ok, I set out for some shopping. Bill loathes it! He was a good sport though and joined in. The town of Lake Geneva is home to countless, eclectic stores and art galleries.

 Tilly, the dog, was sleeping amidst wetsuits and snowsuits in one store.

COCKTAILS

We chose to finish off our day with toes in the sand and a cocktail at Pier 290 in Williams Bay, my very favorite restaurant/bar in the area! The food is upscale and excellent, the scene is fun, and need I say more?! Weekends have live music, as is common in many dining and bar options in the area.

 Pier 290 is a blast during the day for people and boat watching, but it also hops at night! Also above I’ve included a picture of the restaurant entrance filled with antique photos of the area and hanging boat props. And oh yeah – that’s a pic of my toes in the sand.

Have I wet your appetite for a visit to the Lake Geneva area? With so many spectacular offerings, how can you resist? A day is not nearly enough to experience everything, but it’s a good start!

Ask just about any designer their favorite sofa and their reply will often be  “the English rolled arm sofa”! The style just oozes sophistication! I especially love it in eclectic and vintage settings, like the room pictured above. The style has been around since the 1800s, so it’s safe to say it is timeless. Think comfy and chic!

The English rolled arm sofa is characterized by its tight back, recessed and rolled arms, deep, comfortable seat and low set, turned legs (often with casters). Lots of interpretations exist, such as two cushions vs. one, or additional back cushions.

It is time for me to purchase a new sofa. Guess what style it is going to be? Yep… the English rolled arm sofa. I’ve already made my decision, but I am planning to share some fabulous choices with you at various price points!

LOW END PRICE POINT

IKEA gets in the game with their Stocksund sofa. They have widened the seat angle to get a deeper seat and added turned legs for extra appeal.

MID RANGE PRICE POINT

 The Rose by the Everygirl sofa is offered by Interior Define. They have 6 showrooms throughout the country, including one here in Chicago. It’s gorgeous and they completely nailed the look. Select sofa size, fabric, and leg finish.

The Carlisle by Pottery Barn offers an impressive array of choices on their English rolled arm sofa. Back cushions are standard on this sofa. They also offer buyers a choice of  two different sizes, an array of fabrics, the option of two cushions or one, and either memory foam or down wrapped cushions.

HIGH END PRICE POINT

Leave it to Restoration Hardware to up the ante on this classic sofa. Like Pottery Barn, they have added back cushions for a comfy feel. It is offered in five lengths, two depths, a large selection of fabrics, and a choice of classic or down filled cushions.

CUSTOM PRICE POINT

 Most custom furniture companies offer their version of an English rolled arm sofa. However, George Smith offers it as their Signature sofa.

Wow! What an impressive choice of English rolled arm sofas. Can you guess which one I selected? I chose the Carlise from Pottery Barn. I like the idea of back cushions for additional comfort. The price point is also in line with what I want to spend. I decided on the Grand Sofa, 90″ in length and 45″ deep ….so comfy!  I also selected the single cushion (no sinking between cushions if someone sits in the middle). I opted for the down wrapped cushion for a luxurious feel. Lastly, I’m still undecided on the fabric. I want a fabulous ivory linen look that has a performance quality to it. Once I make a final decision on the fabric, I’m good to go! Here is a picture of the single cushion look I’m going for. Love it!!

I hope I have enlightened you on the beauty and versatility of a timeless classic …. the English rolled arm sofa. Check it out for a chic option in your home!

 It’s offically the Memorial Day Weekend! As Americans, we celebrate Memorial Day in honor of all the brave men and women in the U.S. Military who have served and are serving our country. Thank you for your service! It also ushers in the official beginning of summer….and with summer comes doing all things related to being outdoors. Yay! Most importantly, we can entertain outside once again. Fire up those grills and wash off the outdoor furniture. It’s finally time!

Countless retailers offer endless options for outdoor entertaining.  The photo shown above is courtesy of Pottery Barn.

When you think about having a few friends over for dinner and/or cocktails, set a table that reflects the beauty of summer. Choices abound with melamine and acrylic (nonbreakable) plates and glassware, serveware, linens, lanterns, candles, and table arrangments. Select items that reflect a particular holiday celebration or coordinate with your outdoor funiture/pillows.

Today, I am sharing some of my favorite table settings!

A PATRIOTIC TABLE

Celebrate the old Stars and Stripes with American flag star cork placemats.

 Top the placemats with durable galvanized metal chargers.

 Place white melamine plates atop the chargers.

Give a shout out to this great country of ours with American flag salad plates on top of the white dinner plates.

 Continue the red, white and blue palette with colorful blue flatware.

 Echo the stripes in our flag with red striped napkins.

Coordinate the chargers and napkin rings with galvinized rings.

A WHIMSICAL NAUTICAL TABLE

Lay the theme’s foundation with round hyacinth placemats.

 Add  brilliant blue melamine dinner plates.

 Nautical interest is provided by the sailboat enamel plates .

Hammered flatware adds shiny appeal to the table.

 Enhance the table setting with tapered acrylic goblets.

The fringed napkins finish the nautical whimsy.

Rope handled lanterns lend themselves well to the nautical looking table, but be careful outside, as they are glass.

AN ELEGANT BEACH TABLE

Start off the beach theme with fabulous shell chargers.

Top the charger with simple white melemine plates.

Add the coordinating white salad plates.

 Bamboo flatware echoes the natural color in the charger.

Acrylic glassware quenches everyone’s thirst without the risk of breakage.

Napkins in a wide stripe pull the look together.

 Give a nod to the beach with starfish napkin rings.

Center a driftwood candleholder on the table, and add a few outdoor candles to complete the beach look.

A COLORFUL TABLE

 Ground the colorful look with hand woven chargers. 

 Top the charger with white swirl melamine dinner plates.

 Add mixed colorful tile salad plates.

 Colorful Duraclear BPA free plastic glasses  ramp up the fun look.

 White cotton napkins don’t compete with all the other colors.

 Tie in the woven napkin rings with the woven chargers.

 A few lanterns on your table complete the look. Again, be cautious with the glass lanterns.

A MODERN TABLE

Start with fiber leaf placemats.

 Top the mats with delightful botanical dinner plates.

 Add the salad plates.

 The organic feel of this flatware works well with the dinnerware.

 Acrylic stemless wine glasses work perfectly outdoors.

Dreamy blue mist napkins keep the look subtle.

 Succulent napkin rings echo the dinnerware pattern and add a pop of fun.

 A watertight black tray and some outdoor candles create a stunning centerpiece.

Memorial Day is upon us! It’s time to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. Invite a few friends and family over for some food and drinks. There have never been more options to celebrate the joys of summer with beautiful table settings! I hope I have inspired you to do just that!

Yes ladies, white sneakers are very in right now! Remember when wearing jeans and sneakers was a fashion no no? Well, banish that thought for now. It’s exciting to have footwear that is fashionable and comfortable. Wear them with just about everything for spring and summer. Okay, maybe not a formal occasion…. but summer is more casual!

Heading out of town for Memorial Day weekend? Slip a pair of white sneakers in your suitcase. They come in especially handy if your trip requires any extensive walking.

They are darling with a dress!

Pair white sneakers with black cropped pants for a an updated look!

Don’t forget about your white jeans too!

 Adopt a more casual look by donning them with cute jogger pants!

And best of all, wear white sneakers with all your jeans – cropped, ankle, distressed, dark or light, crop flare or skinny!

Choose from a variety of sneaker styles, height (some are platform), and fabrication. Do you prefer canvas, fabric or leather? Options are endless. I prefer the simpler designs and all white.

Today, I am sharing 10 of my favorite white sneakers!

 The leather/synthetic Adidas Superstar Sneakers gets high marks for both comfort and style. I am showing the white with white stripes, but also choose from a variety of colorful stripes.

 I’ts all about the touch of leopard calfhair on these white sneakers.

 The Veja Espla sneakers  are named after a Brazilian NGO. And oh yeah… Meghan Markle owns some.

 True classic sneakers, Chuck Taylor Shoreline Sneakers in white canvas finish these off with an elastic heel for easy slip on/off and stylish striping.

Add a little height with Van’s slipon platform sneakers. 

 Slip these Sperry’s on your feet before heading out for an afternoon on the boat.

 Always popular, the Superga white canvas sneakers will be a “go to” in your closet.

 For simplicity, try Ked’s Champion canvas sneakers.

 When travel and comfort are of utmost importance, a lightweight fabric upper and enhanced cushioning defines this classic white sneaker by Cole Haan.

 A lightweight, fabric low profile sneaker, the Tretorn Nylite Fashion Plus Sneakers   have an EcoOrthLite insole for comfort and fit.

Wow! So many choices, and I have barely scratched the surface. Head to your favorite retailer and try on several pairs. Options in style, fabrication and fit are many. You may even need more than one pair. One thing is for certain though….. Everyone should own a classic pair of white sneakers!!

XO,

Linda
