Truth be told, I am not much of a tennis shoes girl, however, these Ash Vangeliz High Tops have captured my heart. The leather is soft and the zipper sides make putting these on a breeze. Coupled with an Equipment blouse in Pine (the perfect neutral green for most complexions) and ultra-versatile dark blue Rag and Bone Skinny Jeans (I wear these weekly), these shoes are the quintessential balance between casual and chic, urban and uptown. Oh, and they are endlessly comfortable!

CYBER MONDAY DEALS:
- TOM FORD Lips & Boys: Available at Neiman Marcus today only…I picked up Flynn (a perfect pink nude), Luca (a light coral peach, Collin (a deeper, 90’s-inspired nude) and Julian (a lilac pink)…swatches soon! I suspect most shades will go fast, so order soon for best options!

- Alice and Olivia Lana Geometric Print Viole Dress…silky, swingy and totally wearable to work or an evening out, this is the perfect shade of green.
- Alice and Olivia Sleeveless Open Cowl Back Top…I am a sucker for black, sleeveless and open back so consider this the top trifecta.
- Alice and Olivia Open Front Draped Leather Jacket…I’ve been searching high and low for a leather jacket in this luggage-meets-beige shade and am happy to say that a size small has just been added to my jacket arsenal!
- Ash Vangeliz Leather High-Top Sneaker…when it comes to footwear, these super soft leather tennis shoes are as casual as I get…I’ve been wearing these all week.
- Le Metier de Beaute Peau Vierge…a forever favorite, Black Friday is as good an excuse as any to embrace this irreplaceable skincare staple.
- Clé de Peau Beauté LE Coffret (reviewed HERE)…so gorgeous in every way, this is a luxury makeup lover’s dream…excellent as a gift for a dear friend or, dare I say, yourself.

Those sneakers are hot, if I might say so! A little bit punk, a little bit glam, my favorite kind of style. Thanks for providing all the great info.
Hi Robyn,

Hi again BP. I'm excited to report after extensive research, I've ordered the Shu liquid lightbulb foundation in 2 colors. I decided to take advantage of the 25% off & free shipping today.

Once I know my shade, I may get the compact b/c it looks amazing and skin like on u. Have a great week. Xoxo
Hello dear Lynn!
Thank you for letting me know about your Shu order! I am so excited for you to try this incredible formula and hope you love it as much as I do (I am wearing the compact again today!). Please keep me posted on your experience and talk soon, my friend!

i tried to get the TF Lips and Boys color in Wes and it was sold out within moments of the sale launching. I was so sad!
So sorry to hear that, Clever Girl…there was quite an online frenzy, indeed. Still waiting for my shades to arrive!
