Step into Spring with Koolaburra

Does anyone else remember their first pair of UGGs? *Raises hand* I got the classic UGG style in a dark brown back when I lived in Reno, NV. I used to always wear them on snow days or right after skiing. When I moved to Arizona, let’s just say I didn’t have much of a need for fur-lined boots anymore. So, enter Koolaburra, UGG’s effortlessly chic sister brand that evokes total SoCal coastal vibes. The shoes are everything I love: casual, comfy, cute, and naturally carefree. Their wear-everywhere style staples are practically designed for my on-the-go lifestyle, transitioning from brunching to date night with ease.

I remember when the mule trend picked up last year and I hopped on it with reckless abandon. Ok, maybe I’m being a bit dramatic, but mules quickly became the most popular shoe in my closet. They’re like classy flip-flops in my opinion. Easy to throw on in a hurry, yet perfect for the ‘smart casual’ wardrobe. (That’s the dress code in my office in case anyone was wondering.) When it comes to spring shoes, mules are the perfect shoe. They transition perfectly from spring to summer and, if you live in a climate like I do, they work perfectly in fall and winter as well.

I recently added this pair of mules to my closet: Koolaburra‘s Raychel style in Blush. They’re an open toe mule sandal in a light pink perforated suede. Just looking at them, you can tell they’re perfect for spring! Koolaburra comes in at a lower price point than its counterpart, these shoes that I’m wearing are only $80, and are comfortable enough to wear all day. The Raychel offers a low block heel and comfortable sole for easy wearing, and the style is perfect to throw on with jeans and a button down or a sundress and denim jacket. It comes in several colors, as most of their designs too, so you can choose the one that matches your wardrobe best.

When I was choosing which pair of Koolaburra spring shoes to feature, it wasn’t an easy choice. Their flats were perfect for casual days around town and their sandals were perfect for the upcoming summer months. I ultimately chose these mules because they were the perfect shoe for me as I transition my wardrobe from ‘university casual’ to ‘work appropriate.’ Also, I just really freakin’ love mules.
