Now that Hurricane Matthew has finally passed it is finally sunny outside in Miami. For everyone that is away and it warm weather the greatest thing to have for any vacation is a comfortable pair of cute sandals. For years I had been searching for a great pair of white gladiator sandals, but I never could find a pair that fit with what I was looking for. I wanted a pair that was first and foremost comfortable because who wants to wear a pair of sandals that every single time you dread putting them on in fear that you will be getting a blister from them? These white sandals from Louis Vuitton I was concerned, about at first, that I would get blisters all the time because of the material of the white straps. Just like how when I was breaking in my Gianvito Rossi heels for the first time, I wore these shoes around my apartment with a pair of KB socks to just see if the straps rubbed my feet weird in certain spots. The spots that I was concerned about, I put on the small version of the blister band aids that usually are meant to just wrap around your toes on those trouble spots and it really made a difference. I did that for the first few times I wore these shoes and now I don’t need to wear the blister band aids at all. I think it helped, most importantly, to break in the shoes, but also made the areas that may have felt a little rough on my feet soften up so now when I wear them I never get a blister. If you are in the market for white sandals that you can wear all next summer this is the time to do it! A lot of these shoes are now on sale and you can buy them now break them in and then store them until summer 2017.
Steals & Deals: Columbus Day Sales
Happy Columbus Day weekend everybody! When it comes to holiday weekends, we know that this is the time for major department stores to load up on sales before the upcoming season. They all want to get rid of the old merchandise from summer in order to make room for all the new goodies for fall! We all have seen the endless amounts of Macy’s commercials for their Columbus Day weekend savings and personally I always check department store’s out first. I always want to see what is on sale in all the major department stores before I go anywhere else because they usually have the greatest savings for me. The other big ticket items that all of the message boards have been saying are good buys for this holiday weekend, are electronics and appliances. The reason why everyone is saying electronics are the best buy this holiday weekend is so that all of us can get a jump start on our holiday shopping. Yes a jumpstart on holiday shopping when it is barely even October! This is something I know that I have a seen a lot of people do in the past and just store away gifts for the future. Staples has some great ticket items including laptops and printers at over 30% off on their website now. Another great place to shop this weekend for electronics is Best Buy. They are having great deals on their televisions and also on their appliances such as washer dryers. My family last year got a great washer and dryer from Home Depot during Columbus Day weekend, but my suggestion to everyone is do your research first. A lot of these large retailers like Sears, Home Depot, Best Buy and Staples will do some price matching on specific items. It is worth making a list from all the different sites and also seeing if you maybe order your item online it may be cheaper than going to the store and picking it up in person. Hope you all have a great holiday weekend and for those, like myself, that are currently in Florida stay safe from Hurricane Mathew <3
