It’s Raining It’s Pouring, Well maybe not

July 15, 2011 by

I’m been wanting rainboots for so long and I finally get them and guess what, no rain! I’ve had my Chooka Rainboots for a couple weeks and there has never been a reason for me to leave the house the couple times it has rained during the day. I strutted around the house a couple times with them because I love the look of them so much but they haven’t seen pavement yet.

kids-rainbootsWestern Chief is a top supplier of shoes, rainboots, cold weather boots and work boots for everyone. Their kids selection is fun and whimsical and stocked to suit any child with any personality; ladybug, monster, construction, polka dot and more.

FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS Washington Shoe Company has been making shoes that fit people’s lives. From our rugged Western Chief work boots originally built for the Alaska gold rush to our fun and fanciful rain gear for kids, we’ve created footwear to keep people warm and dry, comfortable and stylish, safe and secure. Built with the finest materials to demanding standards, our footwear fits people’s needs , their pocketboots, their lives.

trendy-rainboots-peacock-designFor women the choices are incredible. I went for a trendy style, Big Peacock and I love it. The design is bold and bright and looks great with shorts and with jeans. My 2nd favorite was Gypsy Dot, a flurry of owls, trees, flowers and leaves. Simple polka dots, herringbone and plaids are available too.  If you are a bit more practical and looking for boots to work in like farm work or garden work try out the neoprene or Chooka Solids might work best for you.

Whatever your sense of style or need Western Chief is going to have a style perfect for you.

Extra Special Shoes

May 31, 2011 by

Pink and white shoes for a little girl are special but when they change color to pink and purple they are extraordinary. Crocs Chameleons Color Changing shoes are the shoes we are talking about today.

Just a couple seconds in the sun and Shae’s shoes transform from pink and white to pink and purple. Each time it happens she squeals in excitement and shows them off to anyone within earshot.

The Chameleons are made with the same trusted Croslite™ material to ensure a formed fit against your child’s feet. The top color changing material is different than the original shoes. Its firmer texture is less giving when inserting Jibbitz; especially for those unfamiliar with the twist and shove action needed. The helpful people at a Crocs store were able to get all of our Jibbitz into Shae’s new shoes.

Crocs Chameleons were released May 13 but are a limited edition. Get yours today and choose from the below color changing options:

Oyster (white) clog changes to pink lemonade in the sun.
Yellow clog changes to lime green in the sun.
Celery clog changes to sea blue in the sun.

Flip Flops made with a conscious

May 18, 2011 by

Just last week was perfect spring weather. We were enjoying bright blue skies, a shining sun and a blowing breeze throw all of the open windows. These hopeful signs mean I can break out my flip flops and store my warm fuzzy slippers and socks.
Havainana’s womens sandals and mens sandals are great expressions of personality while being simple and social responsible. All Havaiana sandals are produced in one location in Campina Grande, Brazil. This factory is one of the city’s largest employers. Their socially and environmentally conscious efforts include reduction of water usage and electricity, recycling of residual materials, development of sensible products and environmental education to all employees.
havaianas- womens-sandalsThere is a lot of good going on behind the scenes but don’t forget about the end result; cool sandals and shoes for men and women. Trendy designs, sleek colors and inspired prints are hot this season. These SLIM MATRYOSHKA women’s flip flops are totally my style. With a tad higher price tag of $30 these are a limited edition print. But the typical price is usually $22 for equally stylish options. Kids can sport Havaiana’s too! The selection might not be as plentiful but they are still cute and perfect for warm weather.

New Balance 890’s Are Light As 13 Balloons

May 14, 2011 by

I am a HUGE sneaker wearer and my sneaker of choice is New Balance and has been for about five years now. To me New Balance is comfort and durable and holds up to everything I put them through.

I recently had the opportunity to analyse the New Balance 890’s. They by far and the best and lightest sneakers that I have ever owned weighing in at a mere 9.7 ounces. The 890’s are so light it takes only 13 helium balloons to send the 890 into orbit!

This spring 2011 Boston-based New Balance will introduce a truly one-of-a-kind neutral running shoe for the everyday runner. The NewBalance 890,featuring a unique, innovative, and revolutionary new foam compound, RevLite, is designed for the neutral runner who wants to run fast or feel fast in a lightweight package, without sacrificing durability, cushioning, or support. The New Balance 890 will launch in two colors for men and women and retail for $100.00.

Even though the 890’s are lightweight I don’t feel like I am sacrificing comfort or durability when wearing them. I am not a runner but I do wear these sneakers daily so I want something that I know can and will provide me all around comfort. So far I am extremely impressed with the 890’s and glad that I have a pair.

For you people who love specs here you go:

  • Blown Rubber Forefoot for lightweight cushioning
  • Ndurance® rubber compound for maximum outsole durability
  • ABZORB® Strobel Board runs full length of shoe to maximize shock absorption and comfort
  • Removable full-length insert of ABZORB® cushioning provides added comfort
  • Synthetic/Mesh upper provides lightweight comfort and support
  • Innovative REVlite midsole provides premium responsiveness and durability at a 30% lighter weight than other foams with comparable performance
  • Welded seams for no-sew material application
  • Flat, soft laces slide through uniquely flat lacing holes, locking them in place and preventing top-of-foot discomfort
  • Created to meet the competitive requirements of world-class runner and Team New Balance member Andy Baddeley, whose name appears on the men’s 890
  • The stated weight of the men’s 890 shoe (9.7oz and 275g) applies to men’s size 9.5 D.

I love New Balance not only for their sneakers but for the things they believe in like New Balance Wellness.  New Balance Wellness is about fitness, nutrition, motivation and time.  It is a place where each day is an opportunity to nurture the mind, body & soul.

Want to win an awesome pair of New Balance 890’s for yourself?  If so you came to the right place because one lucky Look What Mom Found…and Dad too! winner will have the chance to win either a women’s or men’s pair of 890’s for themselves.  All you have to do is head over to New Balance and tell me why you would like a pair of the 890’s.

Crocs aren’t just for kids

May 4, 2011 by

What do I get the most excited about for spring and summer? Flip Flops. I’m a simple girl with simple needs….I need comfy flip flops. Don’t get me wrong I love me a strappy sandal, sparkly crystals, wedge heels and bright colors but my go to for ease and simplicity is a flip-flop.

what's up with the cankle

The Crocs Tone Skylar Flips are fitting nicely into my warm weather wardrobe. A few months back I reviewed Crocs Tone Skylar Flats and Clogs. I admitted they were comfortable but just not my style. I gifted them to my pregnant friend at the time and she loved them. I’m liking the look of the Emma Wedge too and may add them to my summer shoe arsenal.
crocs-skylar-flip-flop

Rob received the Bowen sneaker. This is a very different shoe than he’s used to wearing. Rob is a tried and true sneaker wearer but is actually liking his Crocs. They are comfortable and go really well with jeans and khakis. To me the Bowen isn’t a sneaker but instead a good looking, grown up casual shoe. It doesn’t resemble a typical Croc; that’s a good thing for me.

Hands down, Crocs are comfortable. Not all the styles are my taste but I know why people love them so much.
