Tuesday Shoesday: TOMS Bimini

I know I already professed my love for boat shoes, but I’m back to profess it again to the new style of Toms. Called the Nautical Bimini, these babies have a non-slip sole, cute eyelets laced with a piece of rope, and are made of ripstop canvas. We all know it rains around here, and the classic Tom isn’t exactly meant for wet weather, but with the rubber sole on these, you won’t have to worry about soaking through the bottom.

I can’t help but love the striped interior as well. I think my favorite is the orange, simply because I have nothing like it in my closet.

Another win from Toms. If you don’t know their mantra, find out more here.

One for One.

Tuesday Shoesday: Ode to the Boat Shoe

The Sperry Top-Sider is said to have been invented after Paul Sperry wanted to create a shoe that mimicked the pads of his dog, who was adept at walking on wet surfaces without slipping. Now, although I don’t spend much time sailing myself, I can’t help but find myself slipping into my own pair of Topsider’s throughout the spring, summer, and fall when I want something that is a little more casual then the ballet flat and offers the comfort of a tennis shoe.  This navy/plaid version is prepster, which I find myself embracing for my work look this summer.

The bonus of being on sale due to Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is tempting me even more.  Are you wearing boat shoes this summer?
