Friday Shoe Day: A weekend look...for you, and you, and you!

Everyone's feet take the day off on the weekend (usually) and today I will give you some great weekend shoes for your feet. Of course these shoes will also be good for the warmer weather coming up for walks to the park, running errands with the kids and downtown strolling.

Onward:

This is probably the coolest shoe I have ever heard of...ever. Seriously. This shoe comes from the Simple brand and they call it "Satire." Now we all know about the big Hollywood trend of "going green" well if you want to hop on that bandwagon these are the shoes that will make you the greenest of the green. Satire is made of organic cotton and washed leather, the outsole is recycled car tires and, the laces are made from melted platic bottles, hellooooo. Could you be more green? That makes this shoe pretty cool whether you care about going green or not. Plus it's in this super nice "dark earth" color and the laces being that nice slate blue makes this a really awesome weekend shoe. Satire can be yours for the eco friendly price of $70. p.s. good luck finding your size, the Hollywood "it" crowd is all over this shoe and there are hardly any left.Who doesn't love Keds? I mean come on, they all remind us of our childhood and in recent years they have become waaaay cooler then the boring white lace up they use to be, I mean hello, Mischa Barton even did some designing for them (this does not mean that I like her, it just means she's "young & hip" and she's not going to get onboard a project she thinks is lame, end of explanation). So here is a really cute Keds slip on in Champion Stripe...real original name, no? I love these great color combos with the brown/peach/tan/white. This is easy enough to pair with a white tee and jeans and go for a walk with the kids...how hip are you? This striped up slip on is only $40.
Saucony...Saucony. Really it's just fun to say. This baby is known as "Bullet" (that's kind of cool) and comes in a couple other colors, I personally like the brown and green, very earth mother hippy. I have to give homage to my roots as an Oregonian. Anyway, easy, fun, this is definetly an Oregon style though so if you don't think it's cute, it wont hurt my feelings, Bullet is a cool $60.

Privo, Privo, Privo. It sounds like an Italian opera. This Privo is called Mesa and she comes in a aray of colors; orange, black, green and this beautiful grey and baby blue. I had a hard time picking just one Privo to show because they have so many styles that are really similar to this in these really great colors and I encourage you to look them up on piperlime.com because these are some very cute shoes, especially if you want to invest in some great casuals. I love the sleek little hook and loop closure detail. And this shoe taught me a new word...whether it's a real word or not doesn't matter, Privo coined this a "Athleisure" slip on. Like athletic and leisure together, that's a sweet word. So Mesa is $80 which is a lot but I don't know, I guess if you had the money and you really liked the style. I almost forgot my absolute favorite part of this shoe, on the back of the shoe is a little "!" isn't that cute, it's something that makes a little statement and I gaurentee your kids will love, it's Privo's trademark, they actually write it out, Pr!vo. Just a little trivia for you.I love brown and pink, it's very sophisticated and girly all in one. This is a J-41 shoe and it's known as "Aquarius Vegan" odd to put in the word vegan, right? Unless it's a vegan shoe, and it is folks! Now I don't know why a vegan shoe was created...at all. I know the vegans of the world are hardcore, but your own shoe, really? Whatever, it's a little eco friendly too which is pretty cool...I guess. This shoe is vegan because it contains no animal products, which I don't care about either way, but it does have partially recycled outsoles, and that's very "in." I love the criss cross straps, it gives it a little bit of a ballet flat feel, only edgy. Also, it's hard to tell in this picture but, there is this very cute girly design in these retro flowers on the bottom of the sole and the side piping. There are also other Aquarius shoes that aren't vegan but come in the same style with equally cute colors. Most of the J-41 line looks the same so if you like this look check them out, Aquarius Vegan is $89.
I love the colors in this shoe. Silver and gold. And it has this great satin detail with flowers, paisely and leafs. Such a sophisticate for such a sporty shoe. There's not much more to say about this shoe, it's part of the Sketchers Active line and her name is "Sunkissed" awww, $55.This is by far my favorite shoe of the day. First off you can't go wrong with Converse. It's classic, it's been around for-ev-er and a great converse never goes out of style. This is my favorite version because it is slip on...no laces and easy to get your foot into, no pulling at the heel, it's a breeze to get your foot into. I love the classic navy color to go with jeans, bermudas, capris, whatever you wear, even a cute skirt! There's even a built in support beneath the tongue for a good fit! Plus it comes in a few different colors if you don't want the all American blue. And to pay for a good Converse doesn't seem like that much of a burden, you know you'er buying quality and this All Star is only $45.

Well happy weekend to all, I hope you start shopping around for your new playground/park/grocery trip/downtown stroll shoe/Saturday shoe. Happy Weekend Shoe Friday!!
