Check out a sassy pair of Vans here - you won't regret it! Photo courtesy of Will Mann Photography.

I hope my friends and family that have been wearing Vans for years bought stock in the company because they are everywhere in the fashion community this spring. Sorry guys! I know that's probably disappointing, but I have to say, you guys have kept the secret TOO LONG. These are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Not sure what is stopping me from buying them in every color!!

I am wearing the most comfortable Lululemon Gratitude Wrap (not available right now, but it will be! Lulu keeps a tight inventory, check back here for updates!), Zoe Emilie scarf for $24, here; Citizens of Humanity denim, similar here,

J. Crew Swing Sweater, monogrammed, here, Asos Fur Snood, here.

An unlikely parallel. Vans alongside monograms. I do not consider myself preppy, but I do love anything with a monogram..... I positioned these two together because it's all about balance.

Isn't that true with everything in life? Don't be afraid to try something new! Regardless if your comfort zone is more Vans than monograms....

Try out J.Crew's monogramming services. For $10 you can customize your favorite new purchases. It just kicks everything up a notch!

Have a fun, fashionable, and BALANCED day,
