How to Style Sock Booties (Sustainable brand Vivaia Shoes Review)

Vivaia is a brand that reached out to me about trying their sustainably made shoes. After researching them & finding out more about their company, I decided to give them a try! All views are my own and the shoes were gifted to me by Vivaia.

If you prefer video content, check out my fun reel HERE!

The number one great thing I was excited to learn about Vivaia is that their shoes are made with recycled plastic water bottles & ethically sourced wool (even the packaging that they send the shoes in is 100% recycled materials!). I was SO impressed with that fact, & even more so when I received the shoes & they were incredibly comfortable! A good portion of their shoes are even made to be machine washable which is also so convenient (unfortunately this pair is not because of the heel).

I chose the Zoe wool round-toe boots in my regular size (you just use their size chart to convert your US size to your EU size) and the color tan russet. It’s a beautiful brownish grey & it’s the perfect color that goes with just about anything (this pair is on sale right now for $83 and my code ma18 can get you an extra 18% off!).

Viviaia has a ton of shoe options on their site– boots, mules, loafers, flats, heels, sneakers, etc, and they also carry men’s shoes. Vivaia is considered a competitor of Rothys’ shoes, which I can’t speak to or review because I don’t own a pair, but they both are made for comfort & out of recycled materials. If you are interested in trying a pair of sustainably made shoes, Vivaia’s shoes start around $99, which is more affordable than Rothys are. They also seem to have more style options than Rothys.

All in all, I would definitely recommend Vivaia shoes to anyone looking for style, comfort, & sustainability. I’m looking forward to contining to wear and style my Zoe sock boots and to continue to support this brand!

I have styled these extremely versatile boots 3 different ways below. Most of my outfits are older pieces, but I will link similar options to what I’m wearing if you want to try to recreate look. I use affiliate links which means I earn a small commission if you purchase anything using my link, and it will be no additional cost to you. Thanks for your support! 🙂

Look number 1: A mockneck, cardigan & straight leg jeans.
This look is casual & comfy. I LOVE that these sock boots tuck perfectly into straight leg jeans. Makes them look so chic.

Look number 2: A mini boho dress.
The color of these boots pairs perfectly with black & I love that the taller shaft adds interest to an otherwise simple dress look.

Look number 3: A flowy top & skinny jeans.
The shaft of these boots is tight enough that they pair so well with skinny jeans too! Love that! Dress it up with a flowy blouse & you’ve got yourself a cute night out look.

Lovely Jewelry to Give this Christmas (and a discount code!)

If you’ve been around for awhile, you know that GLDN is my favorite jewelry brand. I’ve owned multiple pieces from them for years & found them long before I began collaborating with them (I think through Pinterest!).

My husband has gifted me bracelets & necklaces from them for Christmas and Birthdays and I just love their dainty pieces. I wear a piece from them almost daily & I am so excited to collaborate with them again to show you some great pieces you can gift to someone special for the holidays!

Personally, I tend to stick to necklaces & earrings, but they carry rings & bracelets as well!

I love that most, if not all, of their pieces come in 14k gold fill, sterling silver, or solid gold. You can choose which look & price point works best for you. Another great feature they offer is that a lot of their pieces have an option to be customized (initials, dates, flowers, images, hammed or smooth, etc.) which makes them perfect for gift giving!

I’m sharing 4 pieces today— see the reel HERE!

I do have a discount code– use MARISSAWEARSANOUTFIT to get $10 off your order until the end of 2021.

There are two pieces in this picture, but I am going to focus on the earrings. They are the 14k gold filled hammered Sonia Cuff Hoops. They are a lovely & classic pair of hoops. I tend to love the hammered look for some texture, but you can get a smooth finish as well. They also come in sterling silver & a solid gold.

This necklace is the Lor Necklace in 14k gold fill. I got it personalized with an evergreen tree & a hammered texture. I love it for this time of year & throughout winter! Just a cute little festive piece!

This is just another view of the Sonia Cuff Hoops! So pretty & dainty.

This is the Friendship Beads Necklace in 14k gold fill. You can personalize the number of beads & chose 3 to represent my two boys & my husband.

This is the Tiny Gemstone Necklace in 14k gold fill, the color beads are Andalusite. This gemstone necklace comes in SO many beautiful gemstones & colors. I just really liked the color of this one & that’s why I chose it. 🙂

Again, until the end of the year you can use discount code MARISSAWEARSANOUTFIT for $10 off your order!

Styling A Cozy Brown Cardigan for November

I recently received this brown cardigan from Pinkblush (gifted) & it is SO PERFECT for this time of year. As we head into cooler months I start reaching for warmer tones & of course, extra layers. This brown cardigan is a perfect neutral to throw over any outfit to keep just a bit warmer (it is a loose knit, so it’s got larger holes, FYI!). I decided to style it a few different ways for November.

Outfit details will be linked using LIKETOKNOW.it & I receive a small commission if you purchase using these links, at no additional cost to you. If what I’m wearing is older or sold out I’ve done my best to find options that look similar!
I really appreciate the support so I can continue to do what I love. Thank you! 🙂

This is my favorite look– super casual but all the warm tones bring it together. This tee is actually a top from a 2 piece lounge set I got from amazon. Win!

I love how the orange flowers in this dress are pulled out and more noticeable because of the deep brown color of the cardigan. It gives me all the fall vibes!

I love overalls and for some reason I just always want to pair stripes with them! The classic black & white striped shirt is balanced out by the warm brown cardigan & brown sock booties.

Who says you can’t be comfy and cute?! I love pairing joggers with a cardigan & the graphic tee makes it even more fun! Add some neutral sneakers and you’ve got an outfit that can be work out and about!

Of these four outfits which is your favorite?! Do you own a brown cardigan?

1 Dress, 3 Seasons

This Pinkblush dress (gifted) is proving to be super versatile for all seasons. In this post, I am styling it for summer, autumn, & winter. It has a great floral print that seems to work so well in all seasons. The ruched bodice is super flattering and the spaghetti strap is comfortable. It has a flowy skirt and is very comfortable.

You can watch the reel I made styling this dress HERE.

I will link everything I’m wearing at the bottom of the post using my affiliate links– this means I make a small commission if you purchase using my links at no additional cost to you. I appreciate your support– it helps me continue sharing all this fun fashion. Thanks so much!
