Friday FUN Find { shoes with infinite possibilities }

I know we are entering Fall and sandals are out, but I had to share these awesome sandals from mohop!!  I love the idea and the FUN bohemian flair.  The possibilities are endless.  You first purchase the wedge base  (low, mid, or high), which comes with 7 different straps.  Now the FUN starts because you can purchase additional straps, ribbons, sarees, rings, gems...  See what I mean :)  I LOVE the idea of the recycled Indian sarees - they are so beautiful and romantic....  Ahhh too bad Summer is ending here in Minnesota.....

What makes mohop sandals eco-friendly:

• wedge is made by hand with wood from sustainable managed plantations
• wedge is dyed with water-based dyes
• sole is made with recycled material
• recycled Indian sarees
• partner with Jhoole, a non-profit social enterprise in India
• tons of choices so you will never get bored!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Shhhh, is it flip flop season??

Shhh don't scare away the sun...  In Minnesota we have had a cold Spring. We had a few warm days, but mostly it has been cold and rainy.  The last few days have been sooo nice and sunny - dare I say warmer weather is here to stay!  In the Summer, I live in flip flops.  They are so comfortable and easy, but the problem is that they are cheap so we buy a lot of them and they are not eco-friendly or biodegradable.  I recently ran across Feelgoodz flip flops - they are made with 100% natural latex.  I know they cost more and there are not as many options...  But buying one pair and have them recycle your worn out flip flops will make a difference!!

What makes Feelgoodz flip flops Eco-Friendly:

• 100% eco-friendly natural latex rubber, highly compressed for pillow-soft comfort
• All-natural, non-toxic dyes
• recycle program for non-eco-friendly flip flops
• 3% of revenues going to fair trade organizations, environmental organizations, and micro-lending institutions
