Yes I know I’m a day behind…again…but I started this post and got sidetracked with placing Spring ‘11 orders! (I know…can you believe it? We’re barely out of Spring ‘10!) Anyway, my pick for the week are these adorable canvas sneakers by Sperry Top-Sider.
The Castaway comes in such fun colors for boys and girls and I think they are the perfect shoe to wear with almost anything all summer long. Pair the solids with cute little plaid shorts and a polo shirt for a completely preppy look, or pair the plaids with jeans and a t-shirt for just a touch of prep.

I don’t know about all of you but The World Cup craze has been going around the office for quite some time now. Guys that can barely drag themselves to work on time are getting up and going out to watch games at the crack of dawn. I grew up in a really small town and we never had soccer so I know absolutely nothing about the sport. I didn’t exactly get what a big deal it was…until this weekend. I took a little road trip to a baseball game in Kansas city. KC had a huge World cup watch party where thousands of die hard soccer fans showed up to stand in 100 + degree heat to watch the USA game. Most of them had painted faces, some of them had painted bodies, but they all had a common interest. The place was absolutely crazy and even a casual fan couldn’t help but get excited. Even at the baseball game there crowds of people gathered around the concourse to watch the soccer game instead of the game being played on the field. When the USA team scored the crowed erupted and I’m sure half the people in the stands were wondering what was going on.
I may not have a clue what’s going on during the game or have the schedule memorized, but what I do know is that it’s important to show your team spirit. So if you have little soccer kids running around check out the Reef Grom Futbol. It’s the perfect shoe to show your love of the game without having to commit to a team!

Have you ever been to the beach with your kids when they decided to take off their flip flops and run around in the sand only to end up crying because the sand is too hot? Well I haven’t…but only because I live in the Midwest where there are no beaches nor do I have kids. BUT, I do have nieces and nephews and we do have pools surrounded by concrete. Not quite the same I know but the Reef Heat Seeker is awesome for both scenarios.
This flip flop has the ingenious design of a temperature indicator on the sole of the shoe. If the sand or the concrete is too hot this shoe will let you know.
It comes in three great colors and is now 10% off. Yay for no more hot feet!

Sorry for the delay in posts but things have been crazy here at the shoes.com office! I was going to post a blog yesterday but I decided to wait and kick off the return of Too Cute Tuesday!
For my pick this week I chose the Reef Fairy Dust. I love this flip flop for girls. It reminds me of those tubes of glitter that had water in them that you could turn over and watch all the glitter floating around. I always loved those when I was a kid. Not sure why! My Mom never wanted to buy them (probably because I would inevitably break it and glitter would go all over the place.) These shoes have the glitter aspect without the water. They would have been perfect for me when I was young!

Yes I know I missed the post yesterday. I started to do it three different times but got pulled away each time so I didn’t get to it. Anyway, here it is! Hope you like it!
I don’t know why I love this shoe by Naturino so much. There is just something about it that I think is so adorable. It’s a fun summer sneaker that will go with everything, can be worn by boys or girls, and will get noticed wherever you go. It’s got a lot of colors but it’s not too over the top. Plus it’s completely functional…cushioned footbed, rubber outsole..what more could you want? I love it and I hope you do too!

For this week’s Frugal Friday I picked the College G15 high top by Primigi. Now I know some of you may be thinking that Primigi isn’t usually a very “frugal” brand, however, this high top only retails for $45 which is a great deal considering that it’s fully embellished and it’s by Primgi. Primigi is known for their great quality and this shoe is no exception. I love the new light green color that just came in but the other colors are cute as well. The sequins make the shoe fun but don’t put it too over the top. This will be so cute with jeans, dresses, or shorts and can be worn well into Fall!

First of all let me apologize for not putting up a Frugal Friday pick last week! I was so busy and I didn’t even realize I didn’t do it until just now! So, with that being said, when I chose today’s Too Cute pick, I tried to also make it wallet friendly.
The Fine N Candy by Kenneth Cole Reaction is such a cute little summer sandal. With the bright beads and the metallic straps your little girls are sure to love this style. It comes in both small and large size runs so big and little girls can wear it. I can’t decide which one I like better. The pink is so cute but the turquoise beads really pop against the bronze straps. I think this will be a great addition to any summer wardrobe as it will look cute with dresses, leggings, or shorts.
