The Best Heels for Spring

February 20, 2019Linnea A.

Heels. I used to have no problem wearing them to work, on weekends, out for dinner or drinks, events, whenever. I think it was mostly because growing up, my mom always wore heels (still does) no matter where she was going, so they always meant something special to me.

Unfortunately, they’re not always the comfiest shoes to rock all day, and paired with the fact that I live in Vancouver where nobody dresses up, I rarely opt for heels. That is, until I found the Everlane Day Heel. The perfect, not-too-formal, not-too-casual heel that you can literally wear everyday (especially for spring), with anything!

These heels look amazing with my favourite denim, and they’ll be so versatile for spring. Made in Italy, the block heel is only 2 inches high, giving you a flattering ballet-inspired silhouette that’s extremely easy to walk in... All. Damn. Day. And the sole? Oh my goodness does it have soul. It’s cloud-cushioned to perfection with an elastic backing for the perfect fit, so believe me when I tell you, these heels are seriously one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I own… more comfortable than most of my boots and flats! And in case you didn’t already know, Everlane is always transparent about how much it costs to make their pieces. I’m all about transparency, so this makes it even easier to throw these bad boys into your cart.

If you’re in the market for a casual pair of spring heels (in super fun colours, might I add), this is the pair for you! I highly recommend them. Happy shopping!

Forever in Blue Jeans

September 07, 2018Linnea A.

I've always been a big denim lover, and I've especially been loving the family denim trends: mom, dad, boyfriend, girlfriend, your brother's friend, the works. But although these denim trends are flattering, the comfort level of thick, rigid denim just doesn't quite scream "let's get cozy by the fire", yenno? So what's the next denim trend for fall, you ask? Comfy, stretch denim that actually looks like real denim - a no brainer if you ask me.

Thankfully, Everlane answered my prayers with their newly launched Authentic Stretch. If I wasn't already obsessed with Everlane before, I am even more so now. The Authentic Stretch line is made sustainably (no surprise there, because ALL of their products are), and actually looks like rigid, authentic denim - with all the comfort of stretch jeans. Yes, there are other stretch denims out there, but they don't even look remotely close to real denim - and let's be real, they look cheap! I don't know about you, but there's nothing worse than cheap-looking-denim. I'm telling you, this new wave of denim is something else.

My favourite pair from the line is the High Rise Skinny Ankle Jean in Mid Blue, but I definitely want this pair in all the washes. They have a form-hugging fit, and the fabric is made of 4% stretch that literally lifts and snaps back - without any of the annoying bag out (I can't tell you how many pairs of boyfriends jeans I have that are too big now!) Plus, the hardware is simple and timeless, with a leather patch that just gets better with wear.

If you've never heard of Everlane, you're in for a treat. I've been a fan from the very beginning, and visiting their storefront in Soho was an amazing experience. Pretty sure I spent at least an hour in there. Now what you waiting for, get shopping!
