FLATFORM OR FLATSTACK?

April 16, 2012

I have been coveting some flatstack shoes, definitely prefer that word over flatform (*shudder*), for awhile now and so when Gee Wawa sent these over, it sealed it… I love flatstack shoes and Gee Wawa! The shoes are high, but not too high, and since they are pretty level no pain on the feet at all. The best part is they are really cushiony. I feel fancy, casual, and comfy all at the same time. Love it!
Gee Wawa is a new to me brand, but I am already loving their daisy shoes too. I will now be keeping my eye on Gee Wawa to see what shoes they crank out each season. I am sure it will be good. Follow Geewawa’s facebook and twitter for more update and news…
What I’m wearing… top from anthropologie (seen here), vintage skirt from pomp & pride (seen here), flatstacks c/o gee wawa.
Which word do you prefer… flatforms or flatstacks?

Do you love embroidery? Wild Olive is meant for you…

Meet Mollie, the lady behind Wild Olive shop and blog
My name is Mollie, and I love Jesus. I could stop there, because that’s all that really matters, but of course, there’s more. Being creative, drinking coffee, listening to good music, and spending time with my family are also important to me, and they occupy most of my days.

Wild Olive means…
Wild Olive is a term used in the Bible to describe those who have, through Jesus, been “grafted” into God’s family (Romans 12:17). From the first moment I read that, I have held onto that phrase. It’s also probably the most wild thing about me…I’m pretty conservative about a lot of things!

Her most favorite thing about blogging…
Both blogging and having a shop have given me so many opportunities to meet people, both far and near, so that’s probably my favorite thing. But I’ve also been able to help some great causes through my blog and shop, which makes me very happy!

For Cakies readers, Mollie is giving away a membership to her Project of the Month Club, which retails for $45. Here are some things you can do to get yourself in this lovely giveaway:
1. Leave a comment on this post telling me about your favorite thing from Wild Olive.
2. Blog, tweet, or facebook about this giveaway and leave each separate links here.
Now, if you do all of the things mentioned above, you might even be able to up your chances by getting your name in 4 times! Fantastic, right? Even if you are overseas, please feel welcomed to join in on the fun!
The giveaway will end at 8am PST on Friday, March 16th and the winner will be announced via twitter (follow me on twitter here). Good luck!

A little bit about Peggy, the gal behind Cake Crumbs and Beach Sand

I am a working mum running a small business full time. I am wholeheartedly devoted to my family and have spent years mastering the balancing act that is working motherhood. I love my work, I love my family more. I find joy in the small moments and don’t scrimp on quality time with my family. I am also a writer (which is my true passion).

All about her blog…
My blog started off as a place for me to share all things beautiful and focus on the simple things in life. I have been known to eat cupcakes in bed and I don’t mind the ‘cake crumbs’, and the beach is my happy place and I love ‘beach sand’. The name is made up of the simple things that bring me joy. The cake crumbs also refers to my love of food.

Her most favorite thing about blogging…
My most favourite thing about blogging is the camaraderie of the blogging community. A lot of women write some beautiful comments in response to some of my blog posts and it opens up my eyes to the genuine good nature of people.

For Cakies readers, Peggy is giving away 5 copies of her eBook The Self-Love Guide for the Working Mum. Here are some things you can do to get yourself in this lovely giveaway:
1. Leave a comment on this post telling me about why you love blogs.
2. Blog, tweet, or facebook about this giveaway and leave each separate links here.
Now, if you do all of the things mentioned above, you might even be able to up your chances by getting your name in 4 times! Fantastic, right? Even if you are overseas, please feel welcomed to join in on the fun!
The giveaway will end at 8am PST on Friday, March 16th and the winner will be announced via twitter (follow me on twitter here). Good luck!

So I have totally been bitten by the colored denim thing. I have mentioned (here) my desire to try them, but reluctant because Ben doesn’t think they are classic enough for me to spend our money on. Well, I got some at Urban Outfitters and didn’t technically spend my money since I used a gift card! Totally gotta love them gift cards. Ben can’t complain. Plus, though he thinks this trend won’t last past this year, he says they are kinda fun. I definitely think so.
Um, anyone wanna try kelly green ones with me? I got enough left in my gift card to do so! Seriously thinking about it…
What I’m wearing… shirt, anthropologie. necklace, a merry mishap. jeans, urban outfitters. shoes, madewell (gifted from my parents). bag, anthropologie.
