I'm kind of obsessed with shoes. There are a few brands I am continuously loyal too. One of which is Steven Madden. I have been rocking his shoes since 1990, and I am secretly happy that Dad Shoes are back in style. I have always found that his shoes are funky, cute, affordable, and most importantly comfortable.
I was actually listing to a Podcast, "How I Built This with Guy Raz" ft Steve Madden, and Steve was telling the story of how he got his start. He initially began selling shoes out of the trunk of his car, where he drove around the greater NYC area selling his designs. His “drive” is what established his company, and is what continues to make him a successful entrepreneur. This got me thinking about what drives me.
Current Steve Madden Faves:
Outfit #1: Polka Dot Dress // White Sneakers // Anklet // Belt // Sun hat
I think to myself: why do I do what I do? I don't have a boss, but yet I work 10-14 hours a day, 7 days a week. Why am I willing to wake up early and work harder than most people?
The most important thing is to have a purpose, to have a “why?"
You could have all the motivation in the world, but if you don’t have a purpose or a motive to achieve that goal, you wouldn’t do it. Motivation is just the initial spark, but you need to start a fire inside of you if you want to keep pushing.
My "why" that drives me in my career and personal life, is to be able to take care of my grandma, mom, and have a family of my own. I'm driven to achieve financial freedom so I can travel the world, and experience new cultures in order to find my own inspiration through my personal style.
Having financial freedom and a flexible business where I can work anywhere so I can travel the world is a big driver for me. That being said, white sneakers are perfect for any travel destination, and a great pair of white sneakers is essential for a functioning wardrobe. They can go with everything in your closet, from jeans and a sweater to a flirty feminine dress. White sneakers can be the foundation from which you can build any outfit, any day of the week! Here are 3 best white sneakers to get right now and wear all year-round. Stay tuned, one of these is about to be your go-to shoe, cause it's mine.

Alley White, Steve Madden
My personal favorite: a platform sneaker with contrast collar panel detail will give you some elevation while keeping it casual!

I'm obsessed with these slip-on sneakers! These are definitely my everyday go-to! They are also great for traveling because they can easily slip on and off! They're amazing because they can either be dressed up or worn with more casual outfits!! Also, theyÍre extremely comfortable! 100% recommend!!
