Shopping season is in full swing. When shopping for others, you need to focus on what they like. When you know your husband is going to try to buy you a toaster or something really, really lame (lol) it is also important to drop those all important hints as to what you yourself like. Or send pictures. And links. And tweets….The season is all about giving, of course- not trying to take away from that! But why not let your significant other (or children or siblings or whoever is the crazy buyer- and there is always one in the group, haha) get you something you’ll actually enjoy rather than a new frying pan or orange and mauve sweater? Nothing wrong with that!

Let me bring to your attention a unique pair of shoes which will not only make you feel like a million bucks, but will also make your feet feel better and the environment just a touch better in the process. These shoes are different. Not only are they comfortable and stylish, but they are also eco-friendly. Take a look at OKA b. These shoes are built a differently to make a unique shoe. They are made out of a special microplast material, which is completely recyclable and makes for a non-absorbent, light weight, flexible, comfortable and durable shoe. Really. These are really, really comfortable. I really and truly bookmarked the page for future use. When you find a cute shoe that FEELS GOOD? Not to mention is good for the planet- you keep the URL 😉

The microplast is recyclable, either locally or the shoes can be shipped back to OKA b and recycled directly with them. Everything manufactured at their plant in Georgia has some form of recycled materials in them. From boxes to shoes. Even the bows and flowers on the shoes are recycled. Since these shoes are made of microplast, they are machine washable and very easy to clean. Did I mention these shoes are comfortable and cute? They have an elegant ergonomic design which hugs your foot in all the right places and still look stunning for a night on the town. I had the chance to check out the Priscilla shoe. Which is according to the website (and I concur!) “Delicate yet durable! Deftly melding femininity and practicality, this shoe makes comfort look gorgeous. Basic fall colors with matching petals balance your fall outfits, making these a must-have pair of shoe, ones you’ll never want to take off.” The shoes have an old school bright and shiny look to them. I am so excited to wear this around and see how long these colors really last! Which should be a very long time. So cute. LOVE. (Really, really love.)
