stylish crocs?  i recently picked up a pair of native shoes for kai.  like crocs, they are lightweight, anti-microbial, durable, and super easy to put on.  the colours come bright and their style inspired by vans and converse shoes.  best of all, they are local.  the guy, damian van zyll de jong, who came up with the idea is a vancouverite!  apparently you can even toss them into the dishwasher for cleaning! 

despite their popularity, i just recently heard about them when i bought myself a pair of their flip flops for tulum.  i love how comfy and light they are and they don't look too bad either!  a girl can't have too many flip flops right?  that's why i think i may have to pick up one of their blanca too.

and aren't the howards, with their wallabee silhouette, just crazy cute and adorable for kids? i may need to pick up a pair in a candy hue for kai.

native has some funny videos featuring their shoes, take a peek here.
