5 Little Things

5 Little Things About Me

I decided to do something a little different with today’s post and share 5 little things about me and what’s happening in my life.  I always love reading these types of posts from other bloggers, and I’ve always wanted to write one.  I definitely hope to do more, but when and how often is still up in the air.  I’m horrible with creating series posts, so I didn’t want to a day of the week or monthly thing.  Just a simple every now and again thing.  I hope you enjoy learning 5 little things about me today, and if there is anything you would like me to include in a future post, feel free to shoot me an email (karen@ladyinviolet.com).

So Let’s Get Started!!

We made it to the weekend ya’ll!! It’s so HOT in Houston right now.  I definitely see a pool in my future tomorrow.

Earlier this week, I hit up my favorite store, Nordstrom, to return something and had to swing by the shoe section.  First off, if you live in Houston or near a Nordstrom, they are having a big shoe sale! The main reason I wanted to swing by the shoes was to check out summer’s hot shoe trend – block heel sandals.  I think all of my blogger friends have some sort of block heel shoe.  I feel so left out. 🙂  They also all rave about how comfortable they are.  The chunkier heel makes it easier walking and standing for long hours.

When I first saw this trend come out, I was like no I just can’t do this one.  Of course never say never, because the trend has grown on me.  After hearing how comfortable they were and finding several cute styles, I am jumping on this trend bandwagon.  Now to narrow it down to which one to buy!  This little guide is my top nine favorites that I found.  I love number 5 because I think it will transition into fall outfits too.  The details on two and six are gorgeous!!  One and four are such classic styles that I think they could live on even if the block heel trend fades away.  I shared more favorites from this style below too.  Which ones do you love??

On another note, Henri Bendel is having a huge summer sale today!  My mini jetsetter bag and white bangle bracelet are included at up to 40% off!  Hope you all have a great weekend!
