How cute are these Cargo Khaki and white Nike Dunk high sneakers? I love the late summer, fall color combination which is a great neutral for everyday wear. When these sneakers appeared in the Nike app, I was really excited because I already owned military green shorts and a few pairs of pants. I knew this sneaker would be the perfect match with these bottoms!

What I love about the Nike Dunks, both low and high, is that they have really good arch support. If you have been following along, I injured my hip last summer and as soon as it healed, I injured my foot. I have to make sure I am wearing good, supportive shoes in order to help the arch of my foot heal. This led to me investing in a few new pairs of sneakers to ensure I wasn’t in the same shoes every day. I ended up with a Dunk obsession! I love being able to get a pair which is the perfect color for my wardrobe. If you have tried getting sneakers from the Nike app or SNKRS app, you know it can be a challenge! Check out my tips to help increase your chances.

I wore this outfit the other day to go back to Eataly for lunch, and a little grocery shopping. We ate lunch at Pizza & Pasta and it was yummy. I enjoyed a pasta dish with mushrooms, which is pictured below. It was really good! From the grocery, I highly recommend grabbing a tiramisu to bring home and enjoy later. Thier tiramisu is out of this world! If you are looking at the deli, I recommend the thinly sliced mortadella. I grew up on mortadella and I can safely say this is one of the best ones I have tasted. Love!

Eataly at Valley Fair is very popular, when you go, go early! I highly recommend making a reservation for the restaurants. Walk-in is a very long line. For the grocery, I recommend going early too. They can get crowded! Check out my write-up here.

Do you find yourself matching your clothing to your sneakers too? What are your favorite sneaker colors?

wearing: large hoop earrings (under $100) / light blue puff sleeve tee (under $50) / G buckle belt / green handbag / gold ring / summer nail polish / boyfriend jeans / white bracelet (under $50, local designer) / blue grey Air Jordans 1 low /

OK, how cute are these Air Jordan 1 Low’s! I was so excited when I won them on the SNKR’s app. They are a women’s style with a beautiful combination of pale blue leather and grey suede. I know I am not tying them the “cool” way, but if I tie them the cool way they fall off my feet, so I am going to be uncool until I figure out how to tie them correctly and have them stay on my feet. haha

I found this pretty light blue tee for under $50, and it looks perfect with my Air Jordan 1 Low sneakers since they are pale blue! I decided to play with color a little bit and pair the pale blue with my bright green handbag and lilac summer nail polish. It’s a very casual look with some color fun. Love!

This outfit worked out well the other day when my family and I went out to lunch at Dough Zone in Cupertino. If you haven’t been to Dough Zone, you will love it if you are a fan of dumpling and noodles. They have the most amazing spicy won tons. So good!

In addition to their yummy won tons, we also enjoyed pot stickers, soup dumplings, dan dan noodles, and green onion pancake. Dough Zone also has amazing dan dan noodles. They are so good! Those are my two favorite dishes; the spicy won tons and the dan dan noodles. I highly recommend trying them!

I’m having fun building up my sneaker wardrobe this summer. Hopefully I can add some more fun colors to my collection.

Stay tuned for my tips on how to win in the SNKR’s app later this week!

Summer vacation has arrived! This means I needed to put my summer capsule wardrobe in order. This summer, we plan to stay casual as we have a lot of plans surrounding my daughter who heads to college in the fall. In order to be comfortable, my summer capsule wardrobe is casual, and can easily be worn with sneakers; a shoe style I am wearing a lot lately due to my injured foot.

Shorts and tee’s are summer staples, so I found a few tee’s which are slightly elevated with puff sleeves or tie sleeves. This way, I can stay casual without looking sloppy. Shorts are a must-have in the warm summer months, so these two pairs will serve me well! I always like to have pants in the summer too. Sometimes we get cool foggy days or mornings. Pants are perfect for the those days! These joggers are perfect because they move away from being everyday denim, yet offer just as much comfort as jeans. Love that!

This summer, people are dressing up a little bit more. After all, we are free from quarantine! So, in order to keep things casual and comfortable, yet not look like loungewear, I found this super comfortable dress priced under $50. I originally purchased it in blue, and I loved it so much, I bought two more! I now have it in black and stripes. It is really flattering, comfortable, and ideal for hot summer days. I plan to live in these dresses! LOVE! If you are looking for a fuss-free summer dress, this is the one!
