August self-portrait – I am… a Sseko Design fan

OK, the title is a little lame and the photo shouldn’t really count as a self-portrait, but these ARE my feet.  And this IS something I’m excited about right now. 

My introduction to Sseko Designs Sseko Designs came from Mary Marantz of Justin & Mary – you can read her blog post here if you want: Justin & Mary - Every sandal has a story.

Through Sseko Designs, Liz (the founder) is empowering women in Africa by providing a means for them to pursue their dreams and overcome poverty.  I’m just so impressed by people who are so passionate about helping others less fortunate that they devote their lives to doing just that.  On top of that awesomeness, these sandals that they make are just the bee’s knees!  So if I feel a tug to support a really great cause and I can do that by buying something I really want to buy anyway, how great is that?!

The least I can do is spread the word and give you the chance to be a part of this awesome mission & fashion movement rolled into 1.  You have to check out the sandals at the website above – you’ll thank me!  I ordered 1 pair of soles and 2 different sets of straps.  They have a million ways to tie them (okay maybe not a million, but a lot) with how-to videos, and they’re just adorable. 

My 2 favorite styles so far...
