wedding weekIt’s Wedding Week here at Fit in Clouds! All week on the blog: a wedding shower outfit + spring wedding styles + a wedding-themed Weekly Roundup.

Tell us: your favorite wedding store, your favorite DIY wedding project, your favorite site for wedding inspiration, the best wedding gift you got…tell us anything wedding related!

Wedding season is officially in full swing, and with wedding season, comes wedding shower season. Wedding showers are some of my favorite parties to attend; everyone is happy, there are amazing finger foods (hello cucumber sammies!), and who doesn’t love a good sparkling punch?

Ironically, with wedding season comes the rainy season. Those unexpected late afternoon showers can really put a damper on lovely outdoor garden parties…and those pumps you bought especially for your shower-stunner frock. Your toes sink into the ground, and you end up aerating the ground with your heels (instead of the landscaper). Keep a pair of Fit in Clouds in your clutch for a quick fix. Toss your heels under a table, slip on some comfy flats, and continue mingling with the bride and her maids. You’ll be prepared for anything!

Today’s post comes from Nicole of Probably Polka Dots. Nicole is a blogger, writer and maven of all things Atlanta, most things style, and some things DIY.

It’s Cuatro de Mayo (May the fourth be with you, for all you Star Wars fans!), which means you have exactly one day to run out and stock up on supplies for one of the best holidays, in our opinion: Cinco de Mayo! Read up on the actual history of the day then get cracking on your party planning.

Cinco de Mayo Fun

The outfit: a Mexican-style embroidered shirt, simple jean shorts, and red sequin Fit in Clouds

The drinks: cilantro jalapeno margaritas served in a Joss & Main pitcher

The food: individually portioned 7 seven layer dip

The decor: embroidered pillows, DIY tissue paper garlands, and mini Mexican flags

The fun: a pinata, of course!

Headed to a Kentucky Derby or the actual Derby (lucky you!)? Get inspired for this over-the-top annual May event with preppy patterns, pale pinks, and, of course, a mint julep recipe.

Kentucky Derby Inspiration

Pick up a salmon Vineyard Vines Bits Printed Bow Tie for your beau and a coordinating clutch for yourself. Slick on light pink Chanel nail polish. Don a floppy flowered hat, flowery high heels, and a fun dress, like this pale pink lace one. Remember to sip plenty of water in between shots from that engraved Kentucky Derby shot glass and cranberry-colored Chambord Fleur de Lis cocktails! And don’t forget to pack a pair of silver patent Fit in Clouds in that clutch for when your feet need a break (especially after that last cocktail…).

CHAMBORD Fleur De Lis™ recipe

3/4 oz CHAMBORD
3/4 oz Finlandia® Vodka
2 oz lemonade
1 oz cranberry juice
Squeeze of lemon

Shake all ingredients with ice and pour into a tall glass. Garnish with a lemon twist and a black raspberry.

Although most nights after work you might prefer to head home, eat dinner and relax in front of the TV in your sweats, there are probably the occasional after-work events that you and your friends plan, like happy hour. The trick here is seamlessly transitioning your outfit from one extreme to the other: from work to happy hour.

work to happy hour

First, we start off with a colorful, basic dress like this green one. Adding a structured blazer, classic pearl earrings and patent black heels abide by the typical office dress code and offer a professional look. For drinks with friends after work, add on a fun statement necklace, a few extra coats of mascara and slip off the painful heels and slip into the super comfortable Fit in Clouds black bow tie flats. Since they easily fold up, you can slip them into your cute floral purse when not in use!

Hello Fit In Clouds readers! Today I am so excited to be sharing my summer must-haves with you. I am absolutely obsessed with Fit In Clouds flats, and I think they’re perfect for many occasions, my favorite being summer date night. Summer is all about being comfortable, so my first instinct is to throw on comfy, chic flats rather than some sky-high wedges or stilettos. I love the idea of pairing the gold flats with a colorful shift dress and a great bag + gold accessories – this is my dream outfit for a perfect, warm weather date night! Enjoy.

fit in clouds weekly roundup

Every Friday, we feature a weekly roundup of interesting articles, posts, DIY tutorials, and more from across the web. This week, we’re featuring everything from springy yellow designs to upcycling to style tips for a tropical getaway!

We just can’t get enough of Wendy and her canary yellow everything! Nothing brightens up a day quite like a sassy pop of color. So spring, so chic, so Wendy’s LookBook. This girl knows what she’s doing!

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? This quick and easy Healthy Superfood Cereal recipe is a great way to incorporate great nutrition into a busy day. Not to mention, it looks absolutely delish! Who said healthy had to be boring.

This totally blew us away. Refashionista Jillian Owens was able to make a super cute dress out of an old curtain panel she wasn’t using anymore. She was also able to perk up her porch a little with the leftover fabric. Talk about some serious upcycling! Where do we sign up for sewing lessons?

As much as we love spring, we aren’t so stoked about the allergies that come with it. HealthyWomen.org has some great lifestyle tips that’ll give your allergy/asthma symptoms a run for their money!

Going to prom, got a hot date or just want to keep it casual? Kaley’s got you covered! This YouTube tutorial shows you how to achieve a braided look for a casual day and a chic updo for when you’re feeling a little fancy.

We may not be able to afford any of the pieces, but we’re loving the Great Gatsby + Tiffany & Co collaboration. Thanks to Haute Girl in the City for bringing this lust-worthy jewelry to our attention!

Headed on a tropical vacation? Get inspiration from us and then hop over to Bon Bon Rose Girls for even more tropical-themed fashion fun!

spring formal ready

French Connection Electric Circus Dress // Kendra Scott Lillian Long Earrings in Turquoise // Aldo McenroePurse // Nine West Orseena Sandals // Fit in Clouds Silver Patent Flats

It’s about that time of year again for college formals. With my sorority’s spring formal coming up, I can’t help but think about dress shopping. I spotted this French Connection dress online a while ago and instantly fell in love. It would be perfect for any spring or summer party. Shoe shopping is another story though… No matter how comfortable the heels seem to be in the store, my feet are always killing me by the end of the night. These silver Fit in Clouds flats seem like the perfect solution. I would much rather carry a pair of flats in my purse for the night than end up walking around barefoot!
