Happy National Nail Polish Day! What a fabulous day! As you know, I love nail polish. It is so much fun to be able to change your nail color at home on a whim. Plus, it is less expensive to paint your nails at home than going to the nail salon. Of course, you can always buy a favorite color and have a professional apply it, but I find it relaxing to do my own nails while watching something fun on television or enjoying time with my family.

So, with that being said, let’s celebrate nail polish! Yay! As I type this, I am currently wearing Hermes Bleu Electronique nail polish from their spring/summer 2024 collection. It is such a happy blue hue. Love! What color are you wearing right now?

Summer shoe capsule 2024

This summer is all about comfort and shoes I can walk for miles in! Of course, sneakers are included in my shoe capsule; they are not pictured.

If you have been following along, you know I recently fell in love with Vionic and have invested in a few pairs of their shoes. This can be seen in my summer shoe capsule which has three pairs of Vionic shoes. Love! They have a nice arch support which allows me to wear them all day without switching the soles to my orthotics; although, with Vionic, that is an option.

Of course, as you know, I am huge fan of espadrilles in the summer months. I love the breathable fabric and soft construction of espadrilles. Since my planter fasciitis flares up, I chose espadrilles with a slight wedge in order to give my feet some arch support. As long as I don’t go on long walks in them, they should be OK. I highly recommend keeping a pair of espadrilles around during the summer for hot days, the beach, and comfort.

I still need to find a comfy pair of sandals. I am on the hunt!
