Take a Walk: Best Black Friday Picks from Vivaia and Shewin

My personal mantra for many years has been: Solve it by walking.  Had a rough day?  Take a walk.  Got a tough problem?  Take a walk.  Need a little peace and quiet?  Take a walk.  Need some quality time with someone you love?  Invite them to take a walk with you.  The season has changed and the weather isn't perfect, but I still need my walks to help the world make sense again.
Yes, the weather has been a great hinderance to my daily walks lately.  The days are shorter and the temperature has dropped sharply so that even if I do manage to make it home with enough sunlight to squeeze in a light hike, it's far too brisk for me to enjoy it much, at least until I rotate my summer wardrobe out for things more autumnal.  
Life has been so crazy and it doesn't show any signs of slowing down.  But, then there are always places of quiet within the chaos is you look and those are the places I find when I go out for a walk.  All I need on these rainy autumn days is a cozy sweater and a comfortable pair of shoes so I can get my walk in. 
These Grace Pointy Oxfords from Vivaia are casual, comfortable, machine washable and best of all sustainable.  Each pair is made of 100% recycled materials and with so many different toe caps, there is something to fit all different types of feet.  I love that Vivaia is trying to keep this world a beautiful place and keep me walking in style and comfort.
These shoes feel like wearing next to nothing, they're so light and comfy but the best news about these Vivaia shoes is that right now Vivaia has their best prices with their Black Friday sales and you can save an extra 20% off with code BLEU.   

I'm not a fan of the cold, you know this, but I do love to wrap up in a cozy sweater like this tribal print cardigan from Shewin and go out in the crisp air.  I love the way it makes me feel like I'm safe from the cold.  Shewin has tons of comfortable, casual women's clothing like dresses, cardigans, and everything trending for fall & winter.
I almost dare it to rain on my autumn walks, because if it rains a little, how delicious it is to come home with icy fingers and a pink nose and pull my sweater around my shoulders, wrap my hands around a hot cup of tea and let the warmth of my fireplace soak in while I watch the drizzle from my window. 
Having the right sweater and shoes makes all the difference on days like this.  I'm thankful to my collaboration partners for making my walk possible today.  I needed this time of peaceful meditation and I just can't get it anywhere else right now.
These moments in the fields and woods, this is my zen garden where I feel most at peace and the comfort I feel in these beautiful clothes only adds to the rest in this place.
