Got My New Shoes on Today

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Reebok (#Skyscape). I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. (#Sponsored)

With the end of the school year here I am all about being comfy.  Between finals, packing, running errands, getting ready for Greece, and everything else I've got going on the last thing I need is to be uncomfortable in what I'm wearing, especially on my feet.  Don't get me wrong, I love fashion and still want to look cute, I just want my clothes to be easy and if I forget that I have on shoes that won't hurt either.  That's where the new Reebok Skyscape shoes come in.


Weighing in at just 5 ounces and made for optimum comfort these shoes are absolutely perfect.  I've been wearing them literally everywhere lately and it feels like I'm walking on clouds.  I love that when I've been taking an exam for multiple hours that I don't even feel like I have anything on my feet.  I can honestly say that I look forward to putting these on when I get dressed in the morning because they feel that good!


In addition to being ridiculously comfortable they are also super cute.  I get compliments on them every time I wear them!  One of my favorite style icons, the gorgeous Miranda Kerr is the spokesperson for Reebok Skyscape and has been seen all over in them, styling them in a variety of different ways.  I love how she wears them and have been taking cues from these pictures.  Make sure to check out her cheeky ad for the shoes here.


I got my adorable pair at Kohl's (c/o), where you can choose from a variety of different colors.  As you can see I got the hot pink (since I'm a pink addict it was a no brainer), but you can also get them from Kohl's in black, grey, or blue.  One of my favorite features is that you can machine wash these babies to keep them true to the pretty color you pick.


So if you're looking for an everyday pair of shoes that you can wear running errands, en route to the gym, shopping, and everywhere in between that are ridiculously comfortable (and seriously who isn't looking for that?!) look no further.  Don't walk, run out to get yourself a pair of Reebok Skyscape shoes!  Your feet will be the happiest they've been in a very long time.

How Do You Handle Stress?

Today's post is brought to you courtesy of finals week, which also explains why it's nice and short.

I'm curious to know how other people handle stress.  Lately, I'm really bad at handling it, and get stressed super easy.  Due to the lovely time of year (aka end of the semester) I am a basket of nerves.  There's so much going on with finals, saying goodbye, and trying to pack up that I find myself on overload and freaking out.  I know this will all be over soon (tomorrow to be exact), but I feel like that's not helping me today.  The past few months I've been working on looking at one thing at a time, instead of the whole picture, and that had been helping with stress, until this week.  I just feel like I have so many things to remember and my head is a giant jumble.  

The other day I was talking with my sister about what to post and she suggested that I do a post on stress busters since it's finals season.  However, when I thought about it I realized I can't give advice to others on something that I haven't figured out myself.  So today I'm looking to see how everyone else handles their stress.  I would love any and all input on stress busters that you use so that hopefully I can steal a few of them from you!  Please leave lots of comments letting me know or if you don't want to share it publicly feel free to email me at kristin.thomp@gmail.com.  I can use all the tips I can get!

Coco is the star of today's obligatory picture because she's adorable, and dogs make everything better.

Keep Calm & Go Greek with Adam Block Design


I think that almost every sorority girl out there knows about Adam Block Design.  For anyone who doesn't know, Adam Block Design is a company that makes custom Greek apparel.  My sorority has done several orders with them and I have loved every piece that I have ordered!  They are great at making fashion forward, high quality, and cozy apparel that allows you to show off your Greek pride.



A few weeks ago the people over at Adam Block Design were so sweet and sent me over two adorable tops.  I absolutely love both of the shirts and so have my sorority sisters that I have showed them to.  I cannot wait to wear the mint one around campus during fall semester of next year.  At Villanova freshmen cannot rush until second semester so during the fall we try to promote Greek Life in general, and this shirt will be perfect to do just that!  On top of being super cute it is also crazy soft, which I love.  


The Alpha Gam shirt they sent me will be great for days that we wear letters. This shirt is an example of the custom apparel that Adam Block Design can put together for your sorority. They literally have hundreds of cute designs on their website and sororities can also put together their own design for bags, sweatshirts, t-shirts, and many more items! As I mentioned my sorority has worked with them before and I have always loved their apparel.

Celebrity Style Obsession: Rachel Bilson

Rachel Bilson has some seriously enviable style and is never afraid to experiment with it.  Her style history is a mix of short shorts, sexy dresses, skinny pant looks, and pretty gowns.  As a petite girl Bilson loves her heels, and only occasionally switches them out for flats, boots or sandals (I wish my feet were down for that!).  Rachel has stayed true to her brunette locks only playing with highlights or ombré looks.  From her days as Summer Roberts on 'The O.C.' to now Rachel Bilson has always been a fashionista.  These are some of my absolute looks that Bilson has worn (it was hard to narrow it down!).  

 

Which look is your favorite?

Confessions of Little Kristin

|  One  |
I confess that I once gave myself a haircut...I was about three and it was right before we went to get our family Christmas picture taken.
{Full disclosure: I'm not quite sure if this is the exact picture.}

|  Two  |
I confess that when I was a little I desperately wanted black hair because I wanted to be Pocahontas.  I would tell everyone that when I was old enough I was going to dye it as soon as I could.

|  Three  |
I confess that when my parents brought my sister home from the hospital after a few hours I asked when we could return her.

|  Four  |
I confess that when I was two I was in love with Fabio.  (I don't know why and it haunts me.)

|  Five  |
I confess that I've always been a major girly girl.

Have a great weekend!

May Flowers

I can't believe that May is already here!  Right now in Pennsylvania, it is miserable and rainy, and does not seem like May at all.  However, I am holding onto the sentiment 'April showers bring May flowers' and just extending it a little bit until it's hopefully nicer out tomorrow.  I've decided though that until the flowers make an actual appearance I am just going to have to wear beautiful flower clothes and accessories.

1  /  2  /  3  /  4  /  5  /  6  /  7  /  8  /  9  /  10

Thankfully florals are a huge trend this season!  Here I've put together some of my picks that are an easy way to add some blossoms into your wardrobe.  My absolute favorite way to do this trend is with dresses or rompers, it will give you a feminine chic look that you can wear countless places.  So while it may not feel like May outside, we can all make it feel like May by wearing pretty floral pieces.

Which is your favorite?
