Aetrex Cork Sandals for Summer

August 2nd, 2011 by The Fashionable Housewife

I had the opportunity to try out and review a pair of sandals from the Cork Comfort Collection from Aetrex and I am happy to report that I had a GREAT experience!

I chose the Sandalista Cork Comfort Lily in black to review. After 3 months of wearing them, I can say without a doubt that I absolutely love them.

These sandals are super comfy. First time I wore them, I had them on for 8 hours and no blisters! Incredibly soft, great construction, simple yet fashionable design and incredibly light weight! Easy to slip on and off, yet the footbed isn’t slippery so you don’t have to ‘hang on’ to keep these sandals on your feet.

I highly recommend these sandals. They really are superb!

Product Description

Built in Lynco® support for all day comfort
Ultra-light cork midsole for natural shock absorption
Memory foam top cover for customized cushioning
AEGIS® anti-microbial technology embedded in footbed to protect against fungi, bacteria and algae
“Met Bar Pod” reduces stress at ball-of-foot
“Medial Support Pod” minimizes over-pronation
Dual strap design for easy slip-on
Stretch fabric upper with leather accents
Attractive studs and stitched detailing

If you have tired, sore or problem feet, these sandals would be an excellent choice for you. These are also a great choice for busy moms that have a lot of running around to do. They provide more support than flip flops and are more healthy for your feet and posture.

PRICE: ~~Reg $89.95~~ ON SALE $67.46 (as of 8/1/2011)

PURCHASE: Aetrex.com

Latest Trend: Blazers and Shorts… Together

August 2nd, 2011 by Amanda Davis

2 Comments

Some of our favorite fashionistas are stepping out in shorty shorts and cute blazers but is this something you ladies would shoot around town in? We think it’s a great way to show off the gams but add that little splash of “sassy business” to a look.

Aloha Style this Summer

I think it is safe to say that everyone has dreamed of vacationing their Summer away at the beach, maybe Hawaii! Well this Summer’s resort collections surprised us with nothing less than the prints and motifs that scream Aloha!

But of course, I sit here and I drool at the Versace’s and Givenchy’s of the world knowing that I will not be affording their price tags any time soon. Are there options for us? Well, I took a look around and it seems there is hope for us yet, ladies!

50% Or More Off SWIM WEAR at Lands End

July 15th, 2011 by The Fashionable Housewife

2 Comments

I know it’s kinda late in the season to be posting a swimwear review but I had to actually get outside and try it out before posting about it! If I spent all day on the computer, I wouldn’t be outside actually USING the swimsuit in order to review it! HA! So there is my very eloquent excuse for taking so long…

First off, Lands’ End is having a HUGE sale on swimwear! Women’s, Men’s, Girls and Boys! 50-70% off! Sale ends Tuesday (7/18/2011) though so HURRY!

Secondly…. Lands’ End rocks my world. They totally know how to make a great swimsuit, cover and slim all the right places and yet look alarmingly fashionable.

Course you can’t take my word for it. I am neither skinny, nor am I in shape, but I can still strike a pose when necessary….

That is the Beach Living Paisley Print Bandeau Tunic Swimsuit Top in White Paisley (Petite size 6) and the Beach Living SwimMini with Tummy Control in Solid Black (petite size 8).

The top has optional straps so you can wear it strapless, with one strap making it a halter, with straps over each shoulder (as I have it), or with the straps crisscrossed in back. Lots of versatility. I love that the sides are ruched and adjustable too. Very slimming! Best of all, it has a lightly padded front that both conceals and enhances. It fits great!

The bottom is very fitted and slimming. I received compliments of “Have you lost weight?” and “Wow, you look great for just having had a baby not that long ago!” so I guess the consensus is, it looks pretty good!

BOTH are on sale right now! The top is regularly $59.50 – NOW $20.83. The bottom is regularly $59.50 – NOW $23.80. Sale ends this Tuesday though so you have to hurry!!

Get $20 off $75 or more with coupon code SUNNY and pin 1292

This bag has it all! Class, style and lots of pockets!!!! Soft, supple leather that Linea Pelle is known for and intricate craftsmanship so your gorgeous handbag will last a lifetime. I especially like this bag because it looks great regardless of what you wear with it or how much you put in the bag. Some bags look goofy if you put too much stuff in them, but not this one. I loaded it up with all my goods including diapers and baby food (oh yes I did!) and it still looked great.
