Fit In Clouds Guest Post

Working in sales means constantly traveling. In the beginning I was always forgetting my essentials and leaving something at home. Now, two years later, I’ve mastered the art of packing a carry on bag or tote if I’m hitting the road. The Lo & Sons bag is hands down the best investment work piece that I’ve made so far. It holds just about everything (and more) and even has a small bottom pocket for flats. Whether I’m racing for a flight or booking it across town, the Fit in Clouds folding flats are a lifesaver. They easily fit into small bags and even a clutch for evenings when I’m ready to kick the heels off.

A few of my other favorite travel items? An iPad for loading books and magazines on, Kind Bars for my snacking habit and an eye mask and scarf for longer flights.

chambray style

Shirt, Phone Case, Dress, Flats, Skirt, Hair Bow, Scarf

Chambray has cemented itself as a spring staple that is here to stay. From shirts and skirts to scarves and shoes, chambray is being used in clothing and accessories alike. If you’re hesitant to try this trend, start with something small like a hair bow or flats before sporting a shirt or dress.

best graduation gifts

Ikea Gift Card // H&M Blazer // “Keys to the Kitchen” Cookbook  // iPad Mini // Personalized Necklace // Dr Seuss’ “Oh, the places you’ll go!” // Bullhorn Speaker

Life after college mostly consists of trying to survive in the real world. Help furnish your grad’s tiny apartment with an Ikea Gift Card.

Keep your grad looking sharp for job interviews with a professional looking blazer or shirt. This H&M Blazer is only $34.95.

And speaking of interviews: keep your grad walking confidently (that means no blisters!) with a pair of Fit in Clouds rollable flats.

Chances are, your grad has been living off their microwave and/or dining hall for the past 4 years. A fun cookbook- like Keys to the Kitchen, $23 on Amazon- is a great way to introduce them into the world of adulthood (and proper nutrition) once they’re out on their own.

If you’re looking to splurge a little on your grad, the iPad Mini ($299 from Walmart) is a great way to go. Whether it’s for keeping up with their Google Calendar or playing Angry Birds, they’ll be sure to love it.

This personalized necklace from Etsy is a creative and thoughtful way to celebrate your grad’s alma mater and graduation year. Priced at $49, you can customize this necklace any way you want.

Who doesn’t love a little nostalgia? Dr. Seuss’ “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” ($9.50 on Amazon) will encourage your grad to follow their post-college dreams, whatever they may be. Who knew a childhood book could be so insightful?

Little gadgets like this bullhorn speaker for the iPhone are always fun. If you’re looking for an affordable tech treat, this speaker is only $10!

It’s Graduation Week here at Fit in Clouds! Read up on what to bring to graduation and stay tuned for posts on the best grad gifts and a Weekly Roundup, grad edition!

graduation week

It’s graduation season! Whether you’re celebrating a loved one’s graduation or you’re a grad yourself, this is a day you’ll never forget. Wondering what to bring to graduation? Consider toting along the following:

what to bring to graduation

Nikon Digital Camera with Clutch Case // Forever 21 Sunnies // Victoria’s Secret Water Bottle // Makeup Forever Waterproof Foundation // Fit In Clouds Bronze Flats

There are a few things you’ll want to bring with you for the big day. A lot of graduations take place outside, so sunglasses are a must if you want to watch your friends walk across the stage without squinting. Waterproof makeup is the way to go to make sure your skin stays flawless through the heat (and the tears). Make sure you pack a water bottle to stay hydrated and keep a digital camera handy to snap pictures or take videos! Throw a pair of foldable flats in your bag in case your feet need a break.

Here’s to the class of 2013!

Saturday is my favorite day of the week. I finally have some “me time” and can spend the day however I want. I usually do a bit of shopping, grab lunch with friends, and run some errands before settling down to relax. Comfortable flats are clearly a necessity for a casual Saturday – and this gold pair from Fit in Clouds are the perfect addition to this casual look!
