I stepped into Gap the other day and was pleasantly surprised with their spring line, including all of their adorable summer shirts and spring dresses.

Now that I’m living in NYC I’m on the hunt for a pair of cute yet comfy flats to add to my collection. Walking across the Brooklyn bridge in my Target flats was not the smartest idea. I saw this pair of Cole Haan “Air Polly” canvas mary-jane’s at Bloomingdale’s last week. I might have to pick up a pair in black for those long trips all over the city.   Canvas upper with patent leather trim  Enhanced with Nike Air Technology for the ultimate in comfort  Rubber Sole
