The best way to explore a new city is in a pretty pair of flats, in my opinion! That's exactly what I did this past weekend after a full four days of driving around looking for homes. We took a break Saturday afternoon to explore Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs on the most gorgeous of days. What's even better than walking around all afternoon is not having any blisters to show for it!
I'm wearing: Blouse c/o ModCloth. Jeans, Jessica Simpson. Flats c/o Blowfish. Vintage travel bag, thrifted. Sunglasses, Sid & Nancy. Ring, F21.
I'm happy to be hosting a chance for you to pick out your own pair of pretty shoes! Blowfish is offering one free pair of shoes of your choice from their current collections to one lucky Smile and Wave reader! Keep scrolling down to hear how you can enter to win.

I have the same travel bag! It's my absolute favourite -- fits everything and still looks pretty!
My favourite blowfish shoe is the Rulla T-strap wedge! So perfect. And it would be lovely to style for summer.
