We were delighted to have three shoes featured in this month’s Austin Monthly edition (May 2012: 112 Fun Things to Do in the Summer — pick it up), as well as a quote from Natalie (more on that later).  All shoes featured a natural theme, with wood bottoms, elegant leathers, and ethnic-inspired beading.

Have you seen Universal Traveler by Naughty Monkey? So, so  cute, and so cute on. It perfectly taps into the ethnic trend that is so big this summer, and does it all on a comfy, flat sole that let’s you go for hours.

And check out the Frye Carlie Haurache and Esska Pull in the style section! Both featuring wood soles, these shoes tap into everything that we love about summer: easy, walkable heel heights (because really, who wants to be hobbling around in pain) fun and sexy styling, and great quality.

Thanks for the love, Austin Monthly!
