Have you ever heard that the color RED makes you feel powerful? I am a true believer that color can change your mood instantly. It can make you feel powerful, happy, frumpy or sad. I normally wear a lot of black, which makes me feel sophisticated and effortless. But there are days when I wake up feeling blah and black only makes me feel worse. Well, today was one of those days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what is a girl to do? I chose my brightest red orange dress, slapped on orange lipstick and grabbed a rainbow color tote. Instant mood lifter. Color is amazing and it does wonders for your mood and self confidence. What is your power color?</div>

Distressed soft jeans, my favorite tote and a comfy top would be fitting for a picturesque bicycle ride. This adorable vintage bike is not mine, however, I do have an old bike I took out for a ride a few days ago. "It's like riding a bicycle" they say. And after many years of not riding a bike, it was not a pretty sight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wearing my helmet and old gym clothes, I felt pretty confident on my bike. I felt invincible, as if I were a kid again. So, I decided to go a little faster, when suddenly my life flashed before my eyes as I took a tumble. I was fine, just a little bruised. But, you will not see me on my real bike any time soon. Possibly never. </div>

Two. This crazy little number has been the driving force in my family this past year. Two weddings, two funerals, two homes sold, two homes built, two grandmothers moving, and two job promotions!<br />
<br />
It's been one crazy ride. But, all of it has made us all stronger. As a family unit and as individuals. As a family, we support each other unconditionally. We take pride in each other. As individuals, we learn compassion, empathy, selfless love, and true joy for others.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">As a mom and a wife, I am blessed to have a special bond with my kids and the support of my loving hubby. Now, with two weddings under our belts, we gained two extended families that are just as loving and fun. I can only hope that we end the year of two's with two grand-babies? Okay, just wishful thinking....but for now, B and I can enjoy at least two months in our Georgia home with a lot of much needed R&R.</span></div>

I am traveling through Florida this week for my daughters upcoming wedding. As you all may or may not know, is that I also work full time for a marketing company based in Florida as their Social Media Director. My job requires that I meet my clients and experience places that I never dreamed possible. I know, it's a tough job but someone has to do this :)</div>

One of my clients is a vacation rental home community, Encore Resort Homes, in Orlando. I was invited as a blogger to experience what life as an Encore resident would be like. To say that I was impressed is a huge understatement. You will never want to stay at another hotel again after visiting this place. Here are a few snapshots of my visit to Encore. </div>

Then you quietly tuck yourself in at night in a mansion that has 5 to 14 bedrooms, depending on the size of vacation home that you need. I could live here. Really. See more of <i><a href="http://encoreresorthomes.com/" target="_blank">Encore Resort Homes</a></i>.</div>

Winter is one of my favorite seasons, but it wreaks havoc on my skin. Between the outdoor chill, the heater, and traveling, my skin is screaming for hydration. My daily moisturizer is no longer enough to battle this beast. Drinking tons of water is not enough for me, I knew I had to find products to hydrate and treat my skin. STAT. I recently discovered some "repair" treatments that have made a huge difference and is worth sharing with you.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><i>Skin Repair Treatments:</i></b><br />
<br />
My daily routine consists of a morning and evening night cream along with an anti-aging serum. I use primer before I apply my makeup and set it with a translucent powder. Lately, the powder started settling into the fine lines around my eyes making my skin appear dryer than normal. When I explained this to a makeup professional at the <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/bjd7rabbg9f" target="_blank">Nordstrom</a> counter, they suggested to stop using powder, try a water primer and use a repair eye treatment.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Smashbox Primer Water:</i></b> This water not only works as a primer, but it also sets your makeup with a delicate spray mist. This has been the most noticeable change to my skin, leaving it soft to the touch.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye:</i></b> I have never tried any treatment like this! The consistency of this treatment is a gel-like cream that glides on like silk when it touches your delicate<br />
eye area. The fine lines around my eyes have dramatically improved.<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b style="font-style: italic;">Clinique Lip Repairwear Treatment: </b>Don't forget to treat your lips too! I use a sugar scrub once every two weeks to remove any chapped skin. I recently discovered Clinique's Lip Repair treatment which helps hydrate and reduce wrinkles on and around the lips. I apply it in the morning and at bedtime. My lips have never felt better.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><i>Hydrating makeup must haves:</i></b><br />
<br />
In addition to adding repair treatments, I have also switched from a powder contour and highlighter to a cream base for a more dewy look. Clinique has come out with an array of skin products that have completely transformed my skin. And NO, this is not a paid post, haha! All opinions are my own. I now carry all of the above in my makeup bag wherever I go!<br />
<br />
<b><i>Face and cheeks: </i></b><i style="font-weight: bold;">Clinique Chubby Sticks </i>are so easy to use. You draw a line on your cheek and blend, nothing complicated. They are creamy and leave a dewey. natural glow on my skin. The rose color chubby stick can be used as a blush and a lip balm throughout the day. The <b><i>Clinique Cheek Pop</i></b> is a silky cream-to-powder formula that looks like a natural flush instead of makeup. Love this!<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Eyes: Clinique Pep-Start</i></b> <b><i>eye cream</i></b> instantly brightens and hydrates my eye area making me look refreshed. Plus, it contains natural peptides to promote natural collagen. It is a <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/mtnbbg9f" target="_blank">Sephora </a>exclusive, and a definite must have if you need an instant pick me-up.<br />
<br />
<b style="font-style: italic;">Lorac Alter Ego Lip Gloss: </b>I don't usually like lip gloss because of the tacky feel, but I love this one! It's rich and hydrating to get me through winter and no need to wear anything else on my lips.<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b><b style="font-style: italic;">Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara: </b>The name alone made me want to try this product, and after reading great reviews and trying it for myself, it did not disappoint. The brush is very thick, so application can get a little messy if you don't have a steady hand. Love!<br />
<br />
That's what is in my make up bag lately! Do you have any hydrating products that you can't live without?<br />

B and I like to spend Valentine's Day at home with a nice home cooked meal, wine and an old romantic movie. But, it wouldn't quite be Valentine's Day without flowers and the traditional heart shaped candies, right? So, I've combined all of our favorites into a fun centerpiece that's really simple to make.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is what you will need:</div>
<ul>
<li>2 round clear glass vases, one smaller than the other so that you can insert the smaller one inside the larger one. </li>
<li>Peeps (Yes, they now are made for Valentine's Day and not just Easter!)</li>
<li>Jelly beans or hard candy of your choice. I am using B's favorite, red malt balls.</li>
<li>Traditional heart candies, 1 bag. </li>
<li>Flowers. Pick up an inexpensive bunch at the supermarket. I love tulips, but you can choose your favorite!</li>

To pull it all together:<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Insert the smaller vase into the larger vase.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Layer jelly beans or malt balls first, between the two vases, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches high leaving space for the hearts. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Layer the hearts on top of jelly beans, filling in gaps.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">place the peeps on top of both of these layers and fill in the space behind the peeps with candy, creating a snug fit around the small vase. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Cut flowers to the desired height and arrange in the center of the smaller vase. Make sure you add water first!</li>

BOTH of my kids are getting married this year! That means a lot of planning, parties, dresses, dinners and lots of tears of joy. As a mom, the happiness and the pride that comes along with watching your children grow up, get married and start families of their own are the ultimate rewards in life. It is a plus when you absolutely LOVE their significant others and your family grows and lovely memories are made. Both weddings will be held in Florida, starting with my sons wedding in March and my daughter's wedding in July. It will be a challenge for me living in Atlanta, but I couldn't be more excited! Stay tuned for all the fun happenings, beautiful dresses, outfits and my<br />
travels! </div>

As far as why I am dressed for spring...a girl can pretend. I slipped into my sandals for one quick minute before it started pouring rain. We are expecting the cold this weekend, so bye bye for now beautiful sandals and hello rain boots.</div>

Hello friends! After a long and much needed hiatus, I am ready to come back to the blogging community that I love so much. Taking a break from my camera and all of my screens has been really good for my soul. I want to share a story with you of why I almost gave up on blogging and how I found my way back.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is how it all started...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I launched GlamVolution in 2012 as an outlet to share my love for vintage, my adventures in thrift shopping and an occasional DIY. As my personal style evolves, I find new ways to incorporate my vintage treasures with today's fashion trends. Whether it's vintage jewelry or an antique crystal vase, sophisticated glamour never goes out of style. It's an evolution.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is how the story turns...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As a fashion blogger, I spend a lot of time putting on makeup, coordinating the perfect outfits, scouting locations for photo shoots, posing, editing photos, writing copy and working on blog analytics. It's a lot of work and I really don't mind, except for those days when I just want to wear sweats, pull back my hair and just chill. I found myself buying a lot of stuff to keep up with today's trends and it quickly became expensive and straight up exhausting. I continued to plug along with what seemed like a cookie cutter style blog. But, I soon fell into a cycle of self doubt. I lost my focus and started asking myself why I was blogging? At the end of 2015, I was ready to throw in the towel. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, I decided to take time away from it all until I could find my direction again. I want to push myself and return to my roots. I am an artist, an author and a teacher. I'm a vintage lover, a designer and a tailor. I LOVE to create things! I'm also a mother, a wife and a business woman. I want to blend all of these things harmoniously and push to be even more authentic, even if I am not wearing popular head-to-toe fashion labels. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have come up with a list of 5 things that I am still working on that may help you if; you are thinking about creating your own blog, or if you are close to burning out:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>1.) Remember why you decided to create your blog.</b> Do it because you LOVE it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>2.) Family First. Always.</b> Treat your blog as a business and set regular office hours. Do not get caught up in trying to make all of life's moments into an Instagram shot! Be in the moment. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>3.) Find your niche.</b> What makes you different from other blogs? Don't be afraid to be yourself and express your own unique style.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>4.) Take the time to learn blogging skills</b>; photography, social media, photo shop, and how to increase your following. Never stop learning.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>5.)</b> <b>DO NOT say yes to every collaboration</b> that gets presented to you. Receiving free stuff is fun, but it may compromise your blog if your readers feel you are trying to sell them. Be selective. Ask yourself if the product is something that you would truly buy. Get paid for your time if you do say yes. Sometimes the brand will gift you the merchandise in exchange for a post and this isn't a bad thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Blogging can be a lot of fun and I am very excited to share more of my many hobbies. Many well known fashion bloggers are able to make a great living with their blogs. For me personally, I am very grateful for all the opportunities that this platform has brought my way. My hope is to inspire you and learn from others how to make life more beautiful, one blog post at a time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Do you have any tips on how to avoid blogger burn out?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you have been following my blog for a while, you know that my style is very casual, a little bohemian and effortless. I love DIY jewelry, beads and pieces that are made with natural elements. I have not worn a watch in a very long time. Mainly because I find them to be too heavy, constricting or too trendy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, when the lovely folks at <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/shop" target="_blank">Jord Watches</a> asked me if I would be interested in trying one of their hand crafted wooden watches, I was really intrigued. I have never heard of a "wooden watch" which made me want to know even more. I pictured a heavy, clunky obtrusive time piece...but low and behold, I was wrong. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you click over to their <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/shop" target="_blank">website</a>, you will see a gorgeous selection of handcrafted time pieces for both men and women, all constructed from natural woods such as Maple, Bamboo, Koa, Zebrawood, and Sandalwood among them, and the glass in this watch is a scratch-proof glass. The watches are created from all untreated wood with the exception of the clasp, which is stainless steel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was thrilled to receive the <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/series/ely/green-sandalwood-and-maple" target="_blank">Ely Series</a> in the green sandalwood. I chose it mainly because of the small size and the unusual natural color of the wood. It is nice that each Jord Watch is custom fitted to your wrist. Mine fits me like a bracelet, which I love. They include extra links should you need to make adjustments. My Jord watch is really stunning and very light weight. I get so many compliments every time I wear it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you appreciate hand crafted artistry, you will definitely want to check out <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/" target="_blank">Jord Watches</a>. With only a few weeks until the holiday season, a Jord watch would make a lovely and unique gift. Prices range from $120 to $295, so there is something for everyone. Be sure to check out their amazing timepieces <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

It happens to all of us. Your world suddenly appears bleak. Your routine has become the same old, same old. You are hard on yourself about your weight. You lack physical energy to exercise and before you know it, you have stopped exercising and are gaining more weight. Your clothes are feeling snug, which can only make you feel worse...oh, my dear, you are in a <i>funk</i>.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been there a few times and it's tough. Here are a few things that have helped me break out of this vicious cyle:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Step away from your computer. </b>PUSH yourself to get out of the house or office and take a brisk walk. Even if you are feeling tired, fresh air helps clear your mind. I grab my headphones and play music for a walk around my neighborhood. This is a great way to unplug from social media and free your mind. Set a goal to add extra steps each day.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Take baby steps to feeling better each day.<span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span> </b>Don't think DIET! Diets are tough to stick to and you will feel like it's okay to cheat once in a while. I don't do well with that word. Think of it as being good to yourself...Start small by cutting out sugar, sodas or those yummy potato chips this week. I set a goal to cut out desserts after meals. I've also cut back on drinking wine for a week and although I love my glass of wine, I feel less bloated when I cut out alcohol. Eventually your body will crave less of the sugar or salt that you are wishing for now. Moderation is key to successfully controlling your weight.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Find inspiration and motivation.</b> I work from home, so you would think that gives me the license to wear sweats all day long. Sweats have a way of making me feel that it's okay to lounge around and eat...NO BUENO. Unless I'm sick, I always get dressed and apply makeup every single day. It makes me feel good about myself and it motivates me to get out of the house, walk, run errands and take photos for my blog! I also find inspiration from calling on positive people. Sharing a good laugh with a friend will always make you feel better. <i>Stop and smell the roses</i> is so cliche, but it truly does help your soul.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you have other ways that I have not listed that have helped you get out of a rut? I would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks so much for stopping by!</div>

Tunics in general are a challenge to style, I think. But I am ready to take on this challenge. I am 5'4" and have short legs. I feel like a tunic can make my legs look shorter depending on how I wear it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I fell in love with this button down heart print tunic from <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/sevxebbg9f" target="_blank">Anthropologie</a>. I mean, this flirty swingy tunic is just begging to be toughened up with cowboy boots and denim. I have to see what else I can come up with for styling this cutie. So far, I'm thinking white jeans or maybe burgundy cords with booties? Suggestions are always welcomed!</div>

You know those girls that carry around tea cup sized dogs in their designer bags and everyone stops to say how cute? Well, that's not me, I have a 40 pound dog that would run if I tried to stuff him in my bag. But, while I was at <a href="http://www.zara.com/us/" target="_blank">Zara </a>the other day, I may have squealed with excitement when I spotted this fall suede clutch bag in the prettiest shade of wine, dripping with fringe on the top shelf. I gently picked it up and walked around with it through the store, stroking it as if were my new puppy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has everything that I love for fall, the fringe, the color, the suede...and I won't ever have to feed it. Just pick it up, carry it gently and listen to people say how cute it is.</div>

There are two things that I never thought I would wear until I started blogging. One, is wearing flat brown boots (<a href="http://www.shopbop.com/c/brown-flat-boots" target="_blank"><b><i>here</i></b></a>). They sound boring, yet this boot has become a closet staple and how cute are they with fringe? They are the perfect transition to fall and are super comfy for weekend outings all year round. Two, is wearing colored rain boots (<a href="http://rstyle.me/n/8ghbmbbg9f" target="_blank"><b><i>here</i></b></a>). I used to think they were only cute on kids jumping in puddles. However, living in Atlanta, I have discovered they are the ultimate accessory. The colors just make them more fun and fashionable for grown ups to splash in the puddles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being that we only have a few weeks left of summer, I have already made my fall wish list. Have you started shopping for fall yet?</div>

I was recently asked if I had been in the sun or on vacation because of my sun kissed glow. I have not been in the sun lately, I only recently learned how to blend a bronzer with an illuminating cream from the Ulta lady. Here is what I learned:</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Here is what you will need:</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Find a great powder bronzer that has illuminating shades in it like the <a href="http://rstyle.me/~5USAR" target="_blank">Laura Gellar</a> one that I used. </li>
<li>A bronzing brush. The Laura Geller bronzer I used includes one. I used <a href="http://rstyle.me/~5USKs" target="_blank">it Cosmetics </a>foundation brush.</li>
<li>An illuminating creme. I used it Cosmetics, <a href="http://rstyle.me/~5USMX" target="_blank">Hello Light anti-aging creme illuminizer.</a> </li>
</ul>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i>Step one:</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After you have applied all of your makeup, you will add the bronzer first and the illuminator last. Swirl the brush in the bronzer to pickup all of the shades and apply in a swirl motion onto the apples of your cheeks and up to your temples. Apply a little bit on your forehead and your nose. </div>

<b><i>Step two:</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once you are done with the bronzer, you apply the illuminator. You can use the same brush, I used a smaller foundation brush. Start with a "C" motion around the outer part of your eyes, on your temple. With the brush, gently feather it out to the top of your cheeks for a seamless blend. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Apply the illuminator in a "T" motion on your forehead and the top of your nose. Finish with a touch on your chin and above your upper lip.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's it! Once you get it, it will only take you about 5 minutes to apply. It gives me a healthy look even on days when I'm not feeling my best.</div>

I am still coming down from what was a very eventful weekend for our family, so a relaxed boho vibe seems appropriate. You guys...both of my kids got engaged over the weekend! We are so excited and couldn't be happier that they have found the loves of their lives. We celebrated one birthday, one graduation and two engagements all in one weekend! So much fun, my heart is bursting with emotion!</div>

There is something about the month of August that has me craving for fall clothes, hot chocolate by the fire and cooler temps. It's wishful thinking, being that we are currently sweating bullets with temps reaching the high 90's in Atlanta. However, since the stores are already putting out fall clothes, I started to gather a few things and discovered that my peep toe booties shown above (Jeffrey Campbell last year, similar styles<i><b> </b><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/7ztqwbbg9f" target="_blank">here</a></i> and <i><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/7zt3ibbg9f" target="_blank">here</a></i>) are the perfect heels to transition into fall. They are edgy, great with jeans and dresses, and you wear them without socks, so you stay cool. Could they be any more cuter or more perfect? </div>

I love jumpsuits and rompers. It seems to be a lasting trend that I just can't give up. However, running around in a jumpsuit is not really ideal. Let's hope you don't have to make a stop at the ladies room, because trying to put yourself back together in a public restroom is not the most pleasant. So, what is a girl to do? You buy matching pieces and fake the trend! It's the perfect solution if you like to drink a lot of coffee, yet look trendy doing it.</div>

Two things I'm crazy for this summer: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. White Tops - soft flowy, crisp cotton white tops are my favorite to wear on a hot summer day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And 2. Denim Shorts - soft cotton, distressed, over sized, comfy shorts. I could wear them dressed up or casual with my sandals. Okay 3 things - I always go crazy for cute summer dresses. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What are your favorite things to wear this summer?</div>

This high-low emerald green dress I'm wearing is made out of a sea of emerald green satin-like fabric...and by that, I mean tons and tons of fabric. I love the color and the style so much, but when I slipped it on in my regular size, I felt like I was drowning in fabric. The sales girl suggested I down size because<a href="http://rstyle.me/n/ba2zbbg9f" target="_blank"> Banana Republic</a> clothes may run a little large. Yay for downsizing! Because nothing makes this girl feel more accomplished than prancing around in a smaller size when she has skipped the gym to shop.<br />

Summer has just begun and it feels like it's going to be a HOT one in the ATL. My summer style consist of white cotton bottoms and barely there tops that can be layered. Just pile on the accessories like I did here and add a tall pair of sandals or wedges for a dressier look. Once I'm in the car, the heels come off, hair goes up and I slip on my comfy flip flops...can't take the Florida out of this girl.</div>

These photos were taking a few weeks ago (on my iPhone, sorry!) when B and I went to Chattanooga, TN for a weekend getaway. It was our first time exploring the area and we just happened to go during a huge music festival weekend on the River bend. So what is a blogger to pack during a music festival...a kimono and anything with fringe, of course!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In between listening to great music, we had a chance to checkout the touristy sites like Lookout mountain, the glass bridge, market street bridge and the Bluff View Art District. My favorite part was finding the Moon Pie factory...oooohhh you have not lived until you have eaten a fresh baked Moon Pie. </div>

My love affair with <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/c/white-ballet-shoes" target="_blank">ballet flats</a> began just recently after my trip to Paris. French women know the key to looking polished is to invest in a great pair of ballet flats. There is something alluring about this casual, toe covered shoe that gives your outfit a polished esthetic than an ordinary pair of sandals can. I still love my sandals, but I am loving the Parisian vibe the ballet flats give me...plus, I feel I like I never left Paris. </div>
