If you are like me, you have started a new routine now that the weather has gotten nicer. I am always looking for the perfect running shoe. I finally found one that is cushioned but also lightweight and offers supreme stability, that is the HOKA One One Arahi

I was impressed with the feel of this shoe. The heel collar is tapered and nicely padded. The shoe fit really snugs on my feet, which means I did not experience any slippage.

HOKA approaches stability differently than other shoes. They use J-Frame technology, a firmer EVA rubber that starts on the outer side of the outsole and wraps around the other side.

I have many issues with running shoes in the past, so I pleasantly surprised at how this one fits like it was made for me. The padded interior provides a great locked-in fit and the width is just right.

Once you start running, you’ll be amazed at the sublime combination of cushioning, smoothness and support. HOKA’s signature Meta-Rocker design creates a rolling sensation that feels like it’s boosting your forward propulsion.

This shoe makes a great daily trainer or a work hose shoe. The J-Frame technology helps keep this shoe feeling light on your feet. This is a great option for you.

Are you starting to run? Check this shoe out!!!

 

 

Vineyard Vines-The Clothes that Expresses your Summer Style

After last year, I am sure many of you are excited to shop for upcoming summer activities. I just love this time of year and all of the events that come with it. I’ve had the pleasure to team up with Vineyard Vines to show you some cute outfit ideas for the upcoming season.

I have always considered Vineyard Vines to be the one-stop-shop for my wardrobe. The styles and colors of this line fit so well with the upcoming season because you can look great any piece you wear.

My first pick is this beautiful Island Scarf Ruffle Dress. Not only is it super chic, but I love the ruffles at the sleeves. It is a beautiful print, the color pops and the length is perfect. You could not ask for a better dress for the summer or for your next beach getaway.

My second pick is the Canopy Geo Jumpsuit. I believe that a jumpsuit is a summer staple. I especially love this one because it is a gorgeous melon color. It fit my frame perfectly which is always an issue. This piece brings out the adventurous spirit in me.

If you plan on heading out for fireworks with family and friends, you might want to have something a little more casual and comfy like jeans and a top. Vineyard Vines has so many options. I love these Jamie High-Rise White Jeans. I have been searching for the perfect white jeans and I found them with these. The best thing is that they are available in other colors.

I wanted to find more about what Vineyard Vines have been looking to do after last season, so I reached out to co-founder Shep Murray and Ian Murray for some insight.

We feel like the skies are finally starting to clear, and we are excited to see our customers returning to our stores,” said Shep Murray, co-founder and CEO of vineyard vines. “Our number one priority has been, and always will be, the health and safety of our employees and our vineyard vines community, and we will continue to have strict protocols in place to ensure that in our stores,” he added.

“At vineyard vines we are all about summer and outfitting our customers for their “Every Day Should Feel This Good” way of life,” noted Ian Murray, co-founder and CEO of vineyard vines.  “The summer is when we get to enjoy the things we love most every day – boats, beaches, family & friends. For men, we are excited to expand our On-The-Go performance collection, and we’ve got plenty of new prints and fabrics in our customer-favorite Chappy Trunk swimwear. For women, we are introducing new swim—bright colors and great designs. We also focused on dresses for every occasion and have a colorful assortment of everyday staples like our Simple Tees and Surftees,” added Ian.

Whatever style you are looking for this summer, check out Vineyard Vines and you will sure to find a look that suits you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spring/Summer Styles with Greenstein

Renée Greenstein, the renowned global fashion designer, is the founder of Women with Control® and ATTITUDES by Renée®, two of the best-selling fashion lines on QVC USA, UK & Japan. Women with Control® and Attitudes by Renée® are two seasonless collections that are designed with detail to prints along with unique fabrications, ensuring the perfect fit and style for your body. Renée learned how clothing should fit a “real woman” during her experience as a fit model and traveling the world. At this time, Renée was able to meet and connect with countless women who shared their struggles with “everyday” fashion. Renée’s collection is designed to slim, flatten, and support every curve with comfort in styles and colors you’ll love. Whatever your age, size, or body type, Renée designs clothing that gives you control over how you look and feel, giving you the ease to wear, care for, and even pack.

Renee has a new Spring/Summer line and I was interested in the inspiration behind the line and what are the trends that this line has.

I believe that as we move deeper in Spring then into the Summer months we are going to feel like the caterpillar primed to become butterflies coming out of its cocoon and flying away! The metamorphosis for fashion will be one that we have not seen in a very long time, possibly ever with the ease of wear, comfort and style.

My inspiration comes from many places, granted we have not been able to travel which is my passion, so I pulled from my prior travel experiences to create the newer lines that will debuting over the next few months. I wanted to make sure that my ladies have clothes that make them feel good, feel stylish, and be comfortable as that is what my brand is built on and we also listen to our customers, they have wonderful insight and they bring endless inspiration as well. My theme is casa cozy!

During the past year our ladies have stayed comfortable in my collection because I have always designed clothing that is effortless while adding creative style. As my customer base grew, women were looking for style especially when working from home, and the reality for many may be a home office going forward. Already getting dressed for some physical activity when you wake up in the morning, for example, breaks down any barriers, don’t forget to pop on a fabulous lip as that will brighten your day as well. As I mentioned earlier we truly listen to our customers about their needs during the lockdown, what made them feel good and this is what separates my brand from others.

Big trends for Women with Control and Attitudes by Renee is color, vibrant prints, and casa cozy clothing that takes you from cookouts to cocktails. I am loving caftans in all  lengths, maxi dresses and jumpsuits, pop onto your body, pop it into the suitcase for a weekend getaway and pop into the washer. Easy one step dressing!!!

We went Boho chic with Renee for her spring offerings that are available now, perfect for zoom calls and date and date nights or casual days with friends.
