When the weather gets warm, there's a part of my brain that makes me believe that I'm a beach mama who sports kaftans and sandals all summer. The harsh reality is that about 4 times during the summer it gets warm enough for me to do this (which in reality never happens!). But it's good to have a dream, and when I go on vacation, that is precisely what I do - nothing but mumus, kaftans, sandals and flip flops for me!
I have always had a bit of a strange feeling about flip flops: I'm sure you all remember that phase when people were wearing them with EVERYTHING - even suits (I saw that in NYC and almost passed out from fashion shock). For ease and wearability, you just can't be the flippity-floppity of the flip flops, but they are not always the most fashion-forward, or eco-friendly option. One of my favorite shoe brands - Simple - has come out with a great solution - flip flops with a foam insert that are made from post consumer recycled paper, and the sole is biodegradable! I really love the ethos behind Simple, and these flip flops really fulfill my hippy, beach-mama dream - even if it is a dream, I can live a bit of it in reality with these Simple flops!
