VIVAIA Shoes Shown:

Regina 2.0, Square-toe Water Repellent Bootie in Dark Chocolate

These VIVAIA boots are called the Regina 2.0 Square-Toe Water Repellent Bootie. They are so comfortable (they have arch, forefoot & heel support). They feature an architectural block heel and go to about mid-ankle. They also feature an anti-slip outsole and contain natural Artemisia.

Aria 5, Pointed-Toe Water Repellent Ballet Flats in Creamy Ivory

These ballet flats are so comfortable (they have arch, forefoot & heel support). They also have carbon free rubber outsole, natural Artemisia Argy herbal inside. They are beautiful and I love that they are stain resistant and machine washable! Ideal for a cream coloured shoe!

My shoe size is 7.5. I sized up and picked the 39 shoe size.

A special thank you to @VIVAIA_OFFICIAL for gifting me these shoes to review and style with! A big thank you to this community, as well! I wouldn’t have these opportunities without each and every one of you!

When it’s a warmer winter day and the sun is shining, it is so nice to go outside for an afternoon stroll. Although, my husband and I love to go on walks (or hikes) together, no matter the weather! It is such a great time to catch up on each other’s lives, share ideas and enjoy one another’s company. AND…to take some fun photos of each other!

While my husband is a bit “social media shy”, he did let me post one photo of him, or rather…his favourite shoes (see below). And he helped me take some photos of my outfit! Usually, I am always setting up my tripod and putting the timer on to take my outfit photos. But wow!!! He was such a huge help and we had fun taking creative shots together. He was so great at listening to my ideas and making them happen! What a difference it makes having your best friend help you!

Following this particular afternoon stroll/fun mini photo shoot, we headed over to a local cafe for some delicious tea lattes. They were wonderful, but sadly…no pictures to tempt you with!

Let’s head over to the outfit photos!

I was wearing a wool coat, but since it wasn’t freezing outside, I decided I could brave a bit more cold…for a few outfit of the day photos! 😉

Sweater: 1.State
Pants: Wilfred
Shoes: Nine West
Purse: Nanette Lepore

These flats are so comfortable and easy to walk in. And I love the light blush colour and velvet finish. I tend to opt for flats whenever possible or a nice chunky heel for casual weekends.

My husband loves these shoes. He has had them for over a year and loves dressing them up or down. He got them at the Hudson’s Bay.

Today’s bracelet stack combined my, Enchanted Forest Pandora Rose Bracelet with my Pandora Rose Bangle. I also wore my tan sliding leather bracelet on my other wrist with accompanying rose charms. And (of course) a few Pandora Rings and my fairytale tiara earrings.

I purchased this Nanette Lepore blush pink handbag back in the summer time and what a fantastic purchase it was! I have worn it so many times and I find the colour still works well for the fall and winter, depending on what you pair with it! Blush can be a neutral! And I love how it looks paired with my box pleat pants.
