Must Have Monday!

5:24 PM denim , fashion , Fashion Friday , lifestyle , Monday Must Have , trends 1 comment

With a new year comes new changes! I am going to switch it up a bit on Monday posts and do 'Must Have Monday' instead of 'ManiMonday'. Let me know your thoughts in the comments! I will let you know what is a must have whether it's shoes, bags, makeup products, gadgets, anything!

I have been wanting a pair of these so badly! I had them on my wishlist, but looks like I am going to have to get myself a pair, because they are totally a must have....white Converse! I know, I know, Converse are the sneaker to own...in every color! I had a pair, but considering they are white, they didn't last long and I never really got around to getting a new pair with moving and, well, life. Why do I think they are a must have for every gal? Check out these super cute, fabulous, and awesome looks just for these bad boys!

Who doesn't love a good sweater outfit? It's like wearing sweatpants, but easier to pull off to work. I love the heather grey/denim combo...with any shoe. There is nothing more crisp and clean than an all white outfit. Sometimes all white can really make you look dressy, but the sneakers really help make this one cute and casual.

Throw on a blazer! Who says guys are the only ones who can make jeans and a blazer sexy? Sometimes I am just in the mood for a blazer, or have a lunch meeting, and still want that put-together look. Black or white, both these looks totally rock the Converse.

Style your denim with some white chucks. I have short overalls, and would love a pair of long ones, but either length the sneakers really make the look. Overalls are tricky though, so be sure to pair with a crop, or the right accessories/bag. The leather legging and denim jacket is already a look I love to wear, but love it even more with those shoes!

My favorite! Sneakers and dresses! Short, maxi, printed, stripped, solid, whatever! I live in dresses most of the year living in California, so this look is the reason I must have a pair of white Converse.

As for other brands with similar sneakers...I am dying over these from Anthropologie.com!!!

Groove also does a great job with sneakers and they are some of our most popular styles! While we do have white ones, similar to my beloved Converse, we also have super fun prints. My favorite is the arrow print. Get your lace ups, your slide on Vans look, or even our hybrid. Check out Groove's sneakers here!

Thank you everyone who participated in our Fall Pin-to-Win contest! I had so much fun looking at all of your bucket lists and fall favorites. All of you who became A-Lister Groove Girls, you rock! Get excited for your sneak peaks, special surprises, and of course getting Groove updates first!

I seriously wanted to jump in your fall boards, especially Christina P's winning board! There was no other way to choose the winner other than the raffle method, because there were just too many awesome boards to be able to pick one winner. So, I have chosen my favorite boards and their top pins featured below! I think I am going to have to throw some Groove Gear their way, what do you think? If these are one of your boards, or you think I should shower some of the Pintastic Pinners with love, let me know in the comments!

Let's start with the winner, Christina P! I absolutely loved how you put some of Groove's cutest boots into your bucket list! I can't wait for bonfires and cuddling, playing with leaves, and pumpkin bread!

Check out her board here!

Sheri Lee! All of your pins look so great together, really great board! I love how into this you got with all of your captions. It truly is a fall bucket list! I want to do everything on here, especially layering up, capturing spontaneous moments, making my home smell like fall, kissing under falling leaves, and finding hamster socks!

Check out her board here!

Kasey Williams knows exactly what fall fun looks like! I also would love to sit under falling leaves, see Paris on Halloween, cozy up in front of a fire with friends, and paint my nails eggplant purple!

Check out her board here!

Serena Adkins! I love that you put some great football pins in your board, I feel like sometimes we forget that fall = football, too! I am obsessed with this pumpkin fire, these pumpkin animals, and how good this baked pumpkin dish looks! I need to get me a pair of these cute monogramed boot socks, make a football date, and attempt this awesome tailgate dip idea!

Check out her board here!

Lynn Morgan perfectly captured fall fashion and food to try this season. My fall would be complete if I could take a horseback ride through a beautiful autumn forest! I would love to find a fringe dress to wear with my tall boots, figure out how to layer this cute, and find a pair of super cute boots. Seriously though, this brie and cheddar apple beer soup looks to die for, and these apple rings sound delicious!

Check out her board here!

Kristine Marie, so many awesome pins...I'm glad you had so much fun making your bucket list board! This fall poem is beautiful, and I totally forgot how much fun it is to watch the squirrels collect their nuts! I can't wait to try baking my own bread, taste a seasonal brew, and make an impromptu picnic in the back yard. I just love being outside whether it's taking a walk, riding a bike, taking a hay ride, or making a bonfire!

Getting older sucks! If you're clinging on to your younger years you're about to die and goto 90's heaven! What better way to celebrate the holiday you lived for when you were young by dressing up as tribute to some of the best years of our lives. I went through each year to see when these iconic throwbacks first aired! Check out these 90's halloween costumes with a few late 80s classics to start!
