Happy Weekend! I’ve been on the hunt for comfortable weekend sandals — for running around with the kids and such — that are not Birkenstocks. (I am sort of in a Birkenstock rut.) I’m back to wearing more dresses in the summer, and I’m looking for something a little more polished that doesn’t sacrifice comfort, so I’m ordering these sandals from Gentle Souls (by Kenneth Cole) to give them a try. I like the zip in the back, and I also like that the front is pretty minimal (just the elastic strap) while the ankle portion has an interesting look to it. These come in the pictured hazel as well as black and are available in sizes 5.5–11 for $104–$161 (marked down from $179) at Zappos. Larisa Sandal

I’d love to hear from you guys: Which weekend sandals have you found to be comfortable but polished enough to wear with dresses? If you’re in a business casual office where you can actually wear sandals, which ones are you wearing to work? Related question: What have been your favorite nail colors for toes this summer?

I always say that you should stay on top of denim trends on the weekends, and one of the more affordable brands out there is the Wit & Wisdom line at Nordstrom. They make jeans that are trendy and on point while also being very comfortable. These gray-wash, stretch skinny jeans are really calling to me. They seem very fresh and modern, and I like the little bit of whiskering and fading, and the ankle-grazing length. They come in regular sizes 00–18 and petite 0P–18P (which is an especially rare size range for petites). They are currently $44, and after the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends, they’ll go back to $68. Ab-Solution Ankle Skinny Stretch Jeans

Wit & Wisdom also has its skinny stretch jeans in plus sizes, like this option in black.

With Amazon Prime Day coming up on July 16, I thought I’d do a mini review of Amazon’s Core 10 “build your own yoga pants” — I had been looking for a new pair of full-length yoga pants for petites and had a hard time finding what I wanted, so when Amazon offered to let me choose one I was grateful. I love that you can choose different waists (high, medium, or “cross,” pictured here), lengths (regular, short, and tall) and that everything comes in sizes XS-3X. I got a high-waisted pair of bootcut yoga pants in short length, and I really love them. Most of my running leggings and other workout pants are either Zella or Old Navy — the fabric on these really does feel more sumptuous and lux. I also kind of like that they are very matte, very opaque pants — nothing shiny about them. They’re pricey at $65, but if you’ve been on the hunt for something in petite or tall sizes I’d definitely recommend them. I don’t know what will be on sale for Prime Day but if you see anything from Core 10 I highly recommend it. I just ordered another pair of Core 10 leggings in their lighterweight OnStride fabric; I’ll report back. (That pair also had waist and inseam options though, FYI.)
