theSkimm - Daily Skimm: We were staying in Paris

Mood rings, aura readings, color consultants (yep, those exist). There’s something so satisfying about finding the perfect color to match your energy. Cariuma knows what we mean. Their sustainably made, celeb-loved sneakers come in a million and one (OK, more like a dozen, but still) IG-worthy, perfect-for-summer shades. So you can find juuust the pair you’re looking for. Here are some of our faves:

• These green canvas showstoppers ($79). Your go-to’s for any monochrome look you wanna add a little something extra to. 

• These rose knit slip-ons ($98). Aka the ones you’ll wanna wear from brunch to beach and back again. 

• These off-white knit lace-ups ($98). A broken-in fit that goes with absolutely everything? Yes please.

 Psst…they’re never on sale. But Skimm’rs get an exclusive discount. You’re welcome.

It’s been over a decade since the Internet was first introduced to a tiny, talking shell. And now he’s back for a full film, “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.” We texted with Jenny Slate, co-creator and voice of Marcel, on how she chose his tone, the book she’s read “one bazillion times,” and her go-to cocktail(s). Watch now.
