{ Nautical Breezes }


Instead of having a day of running around seeing and dressing clients - I was having a much more relaxing day filled with writing for publications, paperwork (bah!), and errands. While 5 inch heels are normally my staple for running around town, on days of errands, coffee, and paperwork - some cute sandals that are extremely comfortable were calling my name!

                          {H&M top/cardigan, Glamourai necklace, F21 ring/bracelet, Aldo beanie hat, Cole Haan sandals
                                                                 Yoga jeans, Michael Kors purse, vintage YSL sunnies}


 Like many, I've also been falling for the nautical pinstripes and cardigans that have surfaced everywhere. It's such a classic, chic look that surfaces at least every decade - and I can see why - I'm hooked!


And of course, even though I'm being casual/comfy,  I must tote around my favorite sunnies and some great statement pieces!

What's your casual staple when running around town?

  18. Lovely - casual chic!

    I usually go for a skirt with blouse and cardy, tights and heels (this is the winter version). I usually always like wearing heels as I feel like it gives me a little more purpose while i am out and about running simple errands lol x
