Designer or Deal Cap Toe Shoes

Designer or Deal: Cap Toes Shoes from top: designer cap toe shoes / affordable cap toe shoes /

Cap toe shoes are a timeless shoe design. I am sure you have owned at least one pair at some point in your life. This classic shoe style is always in fashion, although, for the spring/summer 2024 season they are extremely hot. So, if you already own a pair, fabulous! If not, read on . . .

Slingback cap toe shoes are hot right now; especially with texture such as a natural fabrication. The low block heel, natural fabric and slingback style offers the perfect structured shoe for the warm weather season. This cap toe shoe style can be worn with business casual attire as well as dresses for graduation, high tea, outdoor luncheon’s and more. Love it!

The natural fabrication has added new life to this classic shoe style for the spring 2024 season, and I am here for it! I already purchased the affordable pair; which happens to have built in arch support, making it the perfect shoe in my opinion. Love!

What do you think of this new twist on an old favorite shoe style? Will you be rocking it this spring/summer season? Are you splurging for the designer pair or going for the affordable pair with arch support?

Thanks for stopping by!

College finals care package ideas

College finals care package ideas from top left: protein bars / pillow mist / squishie / stress balls / chocolates / coloring book /

It’s that time of year again! If you have a college student, they may be ramping up for finals as we speak! This means added stress and added study time. They may need a little love from home in the form of a care package.

When I make a care package for my college student, I like to include something to hug, like a squishie, something that is a treat, like chocolate, something practical, like protein bars, and things which relieve stress such as stress balls, a coloring book, etc. If you include these three categories, the care package you send to your college student will hit all the buttons to help them make it through finals week, and the study weeks leading up to finals week.

You can order these items individually and send them off to your student, or you can gather them yourself and make the box they open special. I like to line the box with colorful foil and place the items in the box. This way, when my daughter opens the box, it feels special. A little bit of thoughtfulness from home can also help to relieve stress in your student’s life! Love that!

Your student will get through finals, despite all the stress! As long as you are there for them to talk to, and of course, a care package helps!
