Crystalin da Silva loves fashion, being a mom, and being by the water. As a working mom, the moment she gets to the water she’s able to take a deep breath and be present in her Sperrys. When she ventures to the water, she loves styling her footwear with a nautical and neutral, elevated look.

“The water always makes me feel calm, rejuvenated, fresh, and peaceful. As a working mom, I’m always on-the-go with so much on my mind. There’s so much beauty in nature and I’m appreciating it more and more as I get older. We’re so blessed to have access to water so close to home.”

AUTHENTIC ORIGINAL BOAT SHOE

“When hanging out with my daughter, I always make sure I’m in comfortable shoes. The Authentic Original Boat Shoes are lightweight, butter soft, the grey color serves as the perfect neutral base to create a simple outfit.

Since we were by the water, I opted for a nautical look, but kept it neutral in a tan and white stripe tee and white jeans.”

Her daughter, Harper, wears the Little Kid’s Bahama Junior Sneaker.

CREST VIBE SNEAKER

“The Crest Vibe Sneaker is the perfect hybrid of a boat shoe and sneaker, so I wanted to make sure my outfit reflected that.

A bold stripe is always a good idea in my opinion and this sweater works on and off the water. I tied in the linen color of the shoe with my beige woven bag.”

SAYBROOK LEATHER MULE

“The Saybrook Mule is one of my favorite silhouettes right now. The classic mule style is easy to wear, comfortable, and super versatile. You can wear these with shorts, jeans, and dresses and can be dressed up or down.

For a more polished look, I paired them with some of my favorite cotton shorts, a stripe tee, and cashmere beige sweater. A bit nautical, but still elevated.”
