Nisolo Huaraches! I wear them constantly and they're a nice and easy slip on while also looking super cute (I've found that I've come to loathe flip flops or any shoe that doesn't feel secure around my heel). My recommendation is to get heel inserts to make them extra comfy for longer walks!

Nisolo is such an underrated brand. I have their lug boots and they are the most comfortable, lightweight boots — I wear them constantly in winter here in Sonoma county! Going to look into these huaraches, a style I’ve always loved but never owned!

The A.Emery Carter sandals are the most comfortable pair of sandals EVER! Can wear them all month on euro trips with endless amounts of walking: https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-us/shop/product/aemery/shoes/slides/carter-leather-slides/1647597320627303

Yes! I’ve always mixed it into lotion!

Yes yes! I think there are "body specific" drops that you mix w/ lotion too (I just got the face version).

Okay but do the tanning drops work if your natural complexion is somewhere close to vampiric? I really want to try them but worry I'd hop straight from "possibly dead" to RHOC.

Yes! I’m as pale as can be and I have loved the drops in the past! I put a couple drops in my face lotion, mix it up in my hands & apply! It’s been the best for me - I’m so fair skinned it just looks like a nice subtle boost and no streaks! If I feel I did too much, just wait a couple days and it’s gone!

I’m here for everyone’s shoe recs!

I wore boat shoes or my chacos all last summer. Now I cannot find my chacos — worn them for almost 10 years —and I’m thinking I need a durable sandal upgrade!

Would highly recommend the boat shoe for spring tho https://www.quoddy.com/products/mens-blucher-shoe-toast-suede

The ones from Caron Callaghan are cute too! https://caroncallahan.com/products/baxter-boat-shoe-classic-brown-leather

I have officially joined the Summer House bandwagon once Real Housewives content started to dry up (for the record I also binged Southern Charm). I need to understand how I’m supposed to feel about Paige and Craig; my brain can’t handle that AS SOON AS I STARTED WATCHING THEY ARE OVER?!

I was listening to This American Life last night and they told the story of a professor’s voluntary deportation and I wanted to rage. I’m so sad.

I wish I could be trusted with cute sunglasses but have lost 99% of every pair I have ever owned

Hahah I feel you. This price point isn't bad, but it's still steep if they're not going to last!

Aliza, we must be style twins because I, too, love everything 70s, and those sunglasses and jeans are spot on!

Gap is nailing it right now. I am anxiously awaiting a hot pink flowy maxi dress - I love color but even this is a stretch for me! Felt fun to go out of my comfort zone (and my 3yo daughter is going to FLIP!)
