AGOLDE Parker Shorts, Park shorts review, KatWalkSF, Kat Ensign, AGOLDE denim shorts

I want to love denim shorts. I really, really do. But how can I love denim shorts when every pair I try on almost immediately tries to do me dirty? They’re always riding up, cutting me off in the worst spots or are too big in the waist and too small in the thighs – or vice versa. The discomfort is real, but how can I give up when they’re the ultimate summer piece?

Well, this summer I took a leap of faith and ordered the internet-famous AGOLDE Parker Shorts. These are bestselling denim shorts and for good reason. With over 500 raving reviews and the ability to look amazing on seriously everyone who puts them on, I have finally found the denim shorts to end all denim shorts!

I read the reviews and was still skeptical. Most of the girls I’ve seen on Instagram wearing these shorts are a size 24 and I am not a size 24! I have a booty and thighs and will do anything and everything to prevent chafing and discomfort. Flash forward to today, I’ve had these shorts for over two weeks and have worn them almost every day. I’ve worn them to the pool, on a date and to run errands. They are my go-to shorts right now because they look good, are so easy to style and they are really very comfortable. I know they are a splurge, but if you think about cost per wear I’m well on my way to getting my money out of them after just two short weeks.

These shorts are made of 100% cotton, have a button fly with just one silvertone button at the top visible and have a light blue wash (Swapmeet). There are whiskering and fading accents at the front, as well as a subtle acid wash. Light distressing throughout the shorts leads down to a raw, frayed hem.

Fit: The Parker shorts are 100% cotton with an 11.5″ high rise, a 2.5″ inseam and a 23.5″ leg opening. I normally wear a size 6/8 but went up to a size 30 in these shorts and love the fit. If you have curves (like me) and don’t enjoy denim shorts riding up your ass I would suggest going one full size up from what you normally wear in designer jeans.

AGOLDE is a modern brand with a noticeable ‘90s influence, that can be seen by the carefully placed details on these Parker shorts. The brand seeks to help us find our “individuality and confidence,” all while staying laid back and “California-cool.”

Prada Fisherman Sandal Review and Sizing

 

I knew the moment that I spotted the Prada Fisherman sandals at Nordstrom, Corte Madera that they’d be the number one sandal trend for spring and summer. In case you need a little refresh, fisherman sandals are cage-style flat sandals that buckle at the ankle. It’s a comfortable, functional style that’s been around for decades, and it’s been reinvented many times in leather and as “jellies.” Raise your hand if you owned the GapKids colored jelly fisherman sandals in the ’90s! They were my PRIZED possession and my childhood dog, Mindy ate them! I still think about the day it happened and my full-on baby meltdown at the GapKids on Burlingame Avenue when the sales associate told us that they were sold out nationwide and could not be replaced.

Prada reinterprets classic fisherman sandals, which were particularly popular during the 1970s, with this laid-back pair. First introduced in 1913, Prada’s enamel triangle logo became the brand’s most iconic signature. Crafted from smooth leather and rubber, these fisherman sandals are adorned with the timeless motif in silver-tone hardware.

Highlights

  • leather
  • enamel triangle logo
  • round toe
  • buckle-fastening ankle strap
  • branded insole
  • ridged rubber sole

Review

10/10 – 5 stars – My favorite shoes

I bought these shoes before a recent trip to Hawaii and wore them on the plane. I know, I know this was a risky move, but they didn’t fit in my carry-on suitcase and they had to make their debut on this trip.

Well let me tell you something, I did not regret wearing these sandals on the plane for one minute. They are lightweight, comfortable and a dream to travel in. I wore the sandals (almost) every day of the trip and even managed to work them into my Spring wardrobe when I got back to San Francisco.

These are the shoes of the summer! #TrustMe

Prada Fisherman Sandal Review and Sizing, Katwalksf at Rainbow Drive-In Waikiki

Sizing

I normally wear a size 8/38 and sized down a full size to a 37.

*I have a very narrow foot and feel like that is the only reason why I needed to size down. I read several reviews and most people shared that they ran true to size.

How to Keep Them Clean

Snag a Magic Eraser at Target and they will look good as new in 30 seconds!

Everything You Need to Know About BottleRock 2021

Presented by JaM Cellars, the three-day music, wine, craft brew, and culinary festival is slated for Sept. 3 to 5 at the Napa Valley Expo in downtown Napa.

this blog post was sponsored by fanimal

you can get way more than just BottleRock tickets on fanimal ->

OutsideLands  – Life Is Beautiful –

All tickets to BottleRock Napa Valley are sold out, but you can still find tickets on fanimal.

+ you can use the discount code: KATWALKSF20

BottleRock Napa Valley will follow all local and state COVID-19 health & safety guidelines required at the time of the festival to offer a safe festival experience.

What is Fanimal?

Fanimal is a ticket marketplace that focuses on price transparency and seamless group purchase.

The Fanimal team hated other ticket providers, so they are rolling out their own platform. They have the same wholesale inventory as StubHub but they have a new model that’s 100% fan-focused.

Why should you use Fanimal?

They’re different from existing companies (StubHub, SeatGeek, Live Nation, etc.) in two key ways: 

  1. No hidden fees. They charge an up-front 10% markup instead of 30% – 40% in hidden fees.
  1. Seamless group purchase. Tired of fronting the money and coordinating your friends? Start a group on Fanimal and invite your network. Friends join your group by paying for their individual tickets.

Now let’s get into my experience with Fanimal ->

I’ve been to Bottlerock every year but have NEVER enjoyed the ticket buying process!

Raise your hand if you’ve ever actually set the proper alarm to purchase festival tickets the day that they drop and efficiently and easily snagged tickets for you and your crew! (my guess is that there aren’t very many hands up)

and we all know that BottleRock tickets sold out in record time this year! I mean Stevie Nicks -> are you kidding me!?!?

So flash forward to today, I’ve rallied my crew, I booked a (very pricey) hotel room and it is time to pull the trigger on some weekend passes to BottleRock 2021.

My friends can never get their shit together when it comes to doing stuff as a group (especially post covid) -> that’s why Fanimal’s seamless group purchase is an absolute lifesaver!

Just start a group, set the minimum size, and invite your friends!

Everyone joins by paying for their own ticket. If the group doesn’t reach the minimum size, nobody is charged and everyone in the group earns $1 of account credit for each new person who joins, up to $20.

before you pull the trigger on some pretty pricey festival tickets

wine + food

the BEST part of BottleRock IMO

wine

When you put on a music festival smack dab in the middle of the legendary Napa Valley, you better be prepared to “bring it” with your wine offerings.

BottleRock will amaze you with the wealth of incredible wines from some of the most heralded producers in the world. From crisp sauvignon blancs to delicious chardonnays, elegant and luscious pinot noirs to blockbuster cabernets, the Napa Valley has it all, and BottleRock offers the best of the region!

food

Featuring more Michelin stars per capita than any other wine region on the globe, it’s no wonder that many regard Napa Valley as a must-visit region for its culinary prowess as well as its wines. The BottleRock menu of offerings are reflective of the vibrant culinary scene, offering a variety of delicious bites from many of the area’s finest chefs and restaurateurs to pair perfectly with that glass of wine or craft brew. And don’t forget to check out the Culinary Stage where they offer tasty mashups of your favorite artists and our famous chefs. Just don’t forget to make sure you get in some music while eating and drinking Napa’s best cuisines.

festival fashion

I can’t be the only one ready to bring it this year when it comes to festival fashion for BottleRock 2021

Where are we shopping?

when it comes to festival fashion I tend to go for pieces that are fun, trendy, and won’t break the bank

(but I’ve got plenty of extra cash thanks to Fanimal pricing)

ASOS is always my first stop for festival fashion. I love to snag fun hats, sunglasses, and trendy dresses/kimonos from ASOS
