If you are anything like me, I had you at shoes! Shoes have to be one of my most favorite things. I've got no idea why at all. It does seem to be genetic though as I've passed the trait onto my preschool aged daughter!
I was ecstatic when the Espadrille Store sent me a pair of these shoes. They are completely eco-friendly. The sole of the shoe is made of jute and natural rubber. The colorful canvas is organically grown cotton. You can't get much greener than that. The shoes that they sent me were even green! Pistachio is the name of the color. They are perfect for spring and make other colors (especially denim) really pop.
The shoes are really comfortable and can be worn for extended periods of time. I thought these would be best worn as my "back yard shoes" that I could just slip on and off while chasing the dog and kids. However, I was happily mistaken! They are much too cute and comfortable to only wear in the backyard!
I would highly recommend ordering a size up on these shoes as they fit a little small. The shoes I ordered are very tight although I'm sure that the organic cotton canvas will stretch over time and they'll end up being just perfect. Their sizing chart will help you to get the right size for your feet. I probably should have checked it out before picking my size!!

This site has a ton of great colors and styles available for every member of the family. They have some really cute patterns like these gingham checked espadrilles that are more of the slip on variety with a heel. These ones are brand spanking new to the site and I just might have to order them! They'd be perfect for summer picnics and walks to the park.
These shoes are also popular with men and come in a variety of colors to suit them including khaki, navy, black and brown. They even have kids sizes!! Absolutely adorable. I love it when my daughter and I can have "twinsies" by wearing the same thing. Super dorky, I know but if you're going to do it, you might as well do it before elementary school starts and they will still let you!

These Lola Pamplona style shoes with the lace up ribbon are super sleek and eco-chic and are another one of my faves. Do you need some celebrity clout to back these shoes up? No problem! Espadrilles were favorites of Salvador Dali, Grace Kelly, Sophia Lauren, Jack Nicholson and Michael Douglas!
Casual eco-friendly style that can't be beat. These shoes are handmade in Spain using the same traditions and tools that have been used for generations.

Kind of ironic to write about green
There's a new type of credit card in the design world called Live Checking. It's a credit card that actually keeps a running tally of how much credit you have used which might help people manage spiraling debt problems. This is a huge problem right now during the recession. There are lots of people living completely off of credit right now because of the poor economy and sagging job market. Even for those of us who are employed, it can be easy to miscalculate your spending.
My favorite part of the design is the ability for the card to light up around the edges to let you know at a moment's glance whether you are above your credit limit or not. If the light is blue, you are still within your credit limit. If the light is red, you are over your limit. I also think it's cool that the colors used for the edges are not green and red. Green signals "go" and that is not what consumers should be doing when using their cards.
