Summer is officially here and so is the heat that comes along with it! Thank goodness for pools to keep us cooled down. And a glass of rosé , doesn’t hurt either! The summer calendar is filling up with lots of festivities- next up: the Fourth of July! If you haven’t found anything to wear for the Fourth yet, there are loads of great options in the best sales this week:

Summer is one of our favorite times of the year… Summer dresses, beach vacations and new shoes. It’s no surprise that we love shoes, so you can imagine how excited we were to discover a footwear brand that still handcrafts each shoe in Italy, but at prices that are reasonable! We love the limited editions that are released each month. The craftsmanship is exquisite all the way down to your shoe’s arrival in a personalized shoe box. Plus, they have a collection of shoes that fit any/every lifestyle.

On the subject of lifestyle, the three of us have a lot similarities in our lifestyles, but also some key differences. Stia is now running around with a baby everyday, so she’s not wearing as many heels. Katherine works at a law firm, so she is almost always dressing up for work during the week, but likes to be yoga-casual on the weekend. And Jean is trying to spend as much time as possible with her grandson William, but she still loves to dress up for date nights with Bill. We hope you enjoy reading a little bit about us and which shoes fit each of our lifestyles best. As always, thanks so much for reading!

About Us:

Hi! I’m Stia, the daughter of the bishop & holland team. I am the one who asked Jean and Katherine to start this blog with me two and a half years ago and I am so glad they were up for it, even though we had no idea just what we were getting into! I was born and raised in Texas. My husband Caleb and I met in Economics class at Baylor and after a (few) break-ups we realized we were meant for each other! We have now been married for four years. I am a new mom to 5-month old William and am loving every second of it. After working in a corporate job for over 5 years, I made the decision to stay at home with William, raising him and helping more on the blog. I prefer take-out to cooking, I would wear a dress every day if I could, Pinot Noir is my drink of choice and I jump at any opportunity that involves traveling. I love working on the blog and I am so thankful that God has given us this creative outlet and the fun of working together!

Shoes that fit Stia’s lifestyle: neutral flats for everyday errands, lace up sandals to wear with a summer dress and these mules for dinners out with Caleb and William.

Hi I’m Katherine, the daughter-in-law part of bishop & holland! I was born in Dallas, but grew up in Austin. I went to Baylor where I met my husband Justin. We’ve been married five years and it has been a blast. I am a dog person, but in reality Justin and I have two cats! Anything to do with fitness is right up my alley. Flybarre classes are probably my favorite, but I love going to Flywheel with Justin for spin class and heading next door to our favorite Thai restaurant afterward. I love spicy food (the hotter the better!) and cooking with Justin- we have been known for undertaking some crazy recipes! I love rosé, and vegetables are my favorite food, unless there is mac ‘n cheese present 🙂 Working together on the blog has been such a fun adventure for us all and I love seeing God’s provision and blessing played out through it!

Shoes that fit Katherine’s lifestyle: the perfect pumps for work, these platforms for date night with Justin and these driving loafers for the weekend.

Hi! I’m Jean. I’m the mom/mother-in-law of the bishop & holland team and love every minute of it. What could be better than working with your two favorite women in the world? But wait, it just got better… I recently became a grandmother! I have the amazing blessing of being William’s Gigi. I am a California Girl born and raised, but feel like I am a legitimate Texan, now that all my kids and my grandson are Texas born. I have been married to my husband/best friend Bill for 33 years. We have had our ups and downs, no doubt, but the ups (and God’s grace) far outweigh the tough times, and I love being married to this man. I love iced coffee and rosé, chocolate chip cookies and the beach. And absolutely anything that involves this family! Thank y’all so much for following along!

Shoes that fit Jean’s lifestyle: a pair of slip-on sneakers is perfect for shooting blog posts, a pair of city sandals that can go from day to night and the prettiest lace-up heels for wedding season

The absolute best part about this year has been adding William to our family. At five months old, he is starting to show so much personality, smiling, giggling and flirting, and it seems like he is learning a new skill each day.  He wears himself out with all that he is trying to do. It has been so much fun seeing him grow and learn, but we also want him to stay little forever!

We have had the best time dressing this little guy. It is a little more of a challenge to find cute things for little boys, but we think we have found some adorable things for him to wear for the summer months! While he is still a baby, we plan to dress him in more traditional little boy clothes (babies in bubbles are pretty much the cutest thing ever). I know one day soon, he will be wearing super hero t-shirts :/ so while he is young; light blue, navy and white will pretty much be his wardrobe colors!
  • Freshly Picked Moccasins: Since he was a newborn, these have been the only shoes that stay on William’s feet. We have them in almost every boy color. For Summer we love red and a classic tan that we rebought since he outgrew his first pair!
  • Bubbles: Absolutely love this traditional way of dressing little boys. William has two new bubbles for summer- both with his monogram, of course!
  • Swimsuits: This Burberry swimsuit is just too cute and we got this rash guard to protect him from the sun.
  • Hats: This white one looks adorable with his swim trunks, and this seersucker one is just as cute- monogrammed, of course 🙂
  • Everyday outfits: This brand is our absolute favorite! The softest cotton and cutest prints. These sailboats and this nautical outfit have been in heavy rotation.
  • Sandals: Salt water sandals are just the sweetest. Will has a pair of white ones that he has worn way more than we ever thought he would. We’d also like to get them in brown.
  • Pajamas: Again our favorite brand in everyday makes the softest and sweetest pj’s. William has these giraffes and we’ll add these airplanes in since he is growing so tall!
  • Babiators: William just got a pair of babiators– perfect for the pool!
And, we would be totally missing an important part of William’s wardrobe, if we didn’t mention his bestie Raffe. He goes everywhere with Will and usually not as a paci but as a buddy– Will talks all day long to him!
