Feeling French + A Ukies Shoes Giveaway

September 4, 2017 Julien Garman

I am so overjoyed to share that this time next week, we'll be in PARIS!! I've been itching to go for, well, basically my entire life. 

And with trips comes ALL THE SHOPPING! This skirt being one of my key finds. I spotted it on Target's website as part of the Who What Wear collection a few weeks ago. However, it wasn't available online and I couldn't call to order in store either. There was only one Target location in ALL of Northern Virginia that had my size. And there was only one left. In a panic, I frantically texted my friend who lives by that location and mentioned, casually, that if she happened to be going to Target, to be on the lookout for the skirt.

To my surprise, she texted me that evening holding THE LAST SKIRT in my size. I couldn't believe my luck! Definitely one of my favorite shopping stories to date.

Next - these Ukies fkats! I discovered them about a year ago and I'm so glad I did. I've been wearing these Ukies flats non-stop, through every season, with just about every piece of clothing I own. They add the prettiest polish to any outfit and have possibly been my most complimented shoe of all time. But best of all? THEY ARE SO COMFORTABLE.

The secret is their nanoGelÂŪ technology, a dual layer shock absorbing and pressure distribution system. One layer works inside the shoe to redistribute foot pressure, while the other layer absorbs shocks from outside during walking (it’s the same material used in football helmets!) It reduces stress on your legs, making them wearable for long periods of time. Check out their new video explaining how it all works! Plus - they’re crafted in Europe and made with luxe leathers that are super soft. 

I’ll be honest - it’s not always easy finding shoes that focus on both comfort and style. Finding comfortable, chic flats (basically all I wear) has become a difficult task over the years. So when I find a company who does it right, I keep coming back for more.

For my trip to Paris, I just ordered these gorgeous flats! I'd been eyeing them for the past few months, and I'm so thrilled they just came back in stock! They arrived last week, and I’ve been spending the long weekend breaking them in so they’re ready for our big trip next weekend! If you’ve been eyeing a pair of Ukies, they offer free shipping and returns, and ship internationally. If you’re feeling lucky...

Be sure to enter my contest to win a pair on Instagram!
Giveaway ends tonight!

Wearing: Ukies flats, Target Skirt via Who What Wear Collection (black version is available online!), Banana Republic tank (similar), Hobo Fern Saddle Bag c/o, Nashelle necklace
