MY FAVORITE LOAFERS + 8 RANDOM THOUGHTS

August 28, 2018 By Kari 11 Comments

My Favorite Loafers + Random Thoughts My Favorite Loafers + Random Thoughts My Favorite Loafers + Random Thoughts My Favorite Loafers + Random Thoughts

This was a look I wore in Tuscany earlier this summer that I somehow haven’t gotten around to sharing on the blog. I’ve already shared my love for this outfit on Instagram, but the piece that really draws in my attention are the loafers. I walked approximately 15,000 steps a day while abroad and never once felt any discomfort or experienced any blisters. I grabbed the pair I’m wearing above and these right before our trip and I honestly could not recommend each of them enough—especially if you’re heading on a trip somewhere that includes lots of walking! I am still reaching for them on a daily basis and I’ve already got my sister and mom hooked. So. Comfortable.

Aside from sharing my favorite loafers, I’m also sharing a few random thoughts with you today. This is a completely random list but it feels nice to get on paper—or the internet—and out of my mind that already has 1,398 ideas floating around. Does anyone else feel this way?! Writing things down is so soothing!

  1. I’m in a total declutter phase right now. I’m cleaning my closet out, reorganizing my pantry, organizing my beauty vanity, etc! I recently got a label maker and boy, has it been put to good use! It’s such a refreshing feeling once something is decluttered.
  2. We just watched the Netflix Original Movie “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before” and I’m obsessed! I just bought all three of the books on Amazon and I’m so anxious for them to arrive. Have any of you read the books or seen the movie yet?!
  3. I got my eyebrows microbladed last Monday by Julia of Honey Brow in New Braunfels, TX and even though I’m still in the healing phase, I am so happy with the results! Filling my brows in was always my least favorite part of my makeup routine. I’ll share an in-depth blog post once they are healed!
  4. Braden and I started Intermittent Fasting (16:8 method) on August 1st and we’re finally starting to see results. Yay! For those of you unfamiliar, you eat during an 8-hour window and fast for the other 16. It definitely sounds more difficult than it is! Our “feeding” window is 11:00am-7:00pm and so far it’s been totally manageable. Will keep you updated on progress!
  5. I got my nails done earlier this week and I went for a deep burgundy and I really love them! Just patiently waiting for Fall to arrive… (I get SNS dip powder for those of you who ask!)
  6. We’re hoping (fingers crossed) to go to Napa Valley for our two-year wedding anniversary this October. It’s a little last-minute, but we’re hoping everything comes together. We haven’t been back since our engagement in 2015, so we’re excited!
  7. I’m really focusing on my email response time. I know how frustrating it is to not hear back from someone quickly via email, so I’m ensuring all emails are answered within 12-24 hours
  8. We found the best wine for under $10 this week. It’s “Indian Summer 2015” from Becker Vineyards. We bought an entire case because we loved it so much and because it’s limited edition!

Okay, I think that’s all I’ve got! I hope you enjoyed reading my random compilation of thoughts. Have a fabulous day! xo

    great blog…I too need to declutter makes life so much easier, as I seem to spend half my time looking for something. Hope the fast goes well I hear from my nutrition experts it’s really good they do suggest hot lemon water in the morning to detox. Hope Napa works out for your anniversary would be different to go on a second with different vineyards than before and now married. My best to you
