I love the short work weeks. I find I am in a much better mood and seem to take a lot pleasure in many things. I got a bit of shutterbug fever today and decided I needed some hot colors in this space to match the fabulous hot weather we have been having. I finally finished my cute stripey socks and when it came time to take a photograph I had no appropriate footwear to really show them off. Well, kismet was on my side because yesterday I stumbled upon these bright and happy Birkenstock shoes .... and they were on SALE.... how can one resist. The Babe was rolling his eyes because he calls Birks sandals birth-control shoes! I have to admit that they don't particularly make your feet look sexy, but look at the color; I had to have them.
My garden provided the second hit of color for today's post. With the sunshine we have been having blooms just opened up and said 'cut me'. The Babe has huge allergies so garden flowers can't be around the house too much...but he is gone for a boys climbing weekend and I am taking full advantage. The home-grown blooms truly come alive in this little thrifted jug.

Gorgeous hot colours! Your socks and Birks were meant to go together.
I agree with Renee, your Birkies and the socks were meant to go together!
Your husband's comment makes me laugh. I see what he means..... but it won't cause me to toss out my Birks and yours look very fetching on you!
mine would say the same!
but that color is awesome, and those socks! very hot!
Beautiful colours there and feet have to be comfortable!
I loved your last post about your garden! It's beautiful! It's fun to bring the garden inside too!
love the hot firey colours, go with the birks, they look great!
Birki's are my fave.
awesome colors,Raina!! Happy Sunday!
The sandals and socks combo looks fab!
Forgot to say - have finally managed to get your package in the post (on Friday) - be with you soon hopefully :o)
your photos make me feel happy:) need to make a new pair of socks:)
Love the Birks! And they so go with the socks... Kismet, I say!
Love the blooms too.
Your Babe this hilarious, Raina...Birks are birth control sandals...hahaha! But must say I just love those red Birks--and they look fab with those sock. So what does The Babe think if socks with Birks...oh, no! LOL! ;o) Glad you are enjoying your shorter week, having fun in the sun and with your flowers...Happy Summer Days, my friend ((HUGS))
Gorgeous flowers! Likewise the stripey socks and kick-ass sandals!
the birks and the socks go very nicely together. they are very cheerful! nice knitting!
ooh how could anyone ever say no to shoes in that color? :)
You have to wear Birks to appreciate them! I just move from clogs to sandals according to the weather! I let your hot colours warm me up! Not so hot hear in Yorkshire at the moment.
My friend convinced me to try Birkenstocks after I developed foot problems. I finally bought a pair, not convinced that they would help my foot problems. Now two years later, I owned three pairs of sandals and in winter I wear the Footprints. They truly cured my foot problems. This is the last pair I bought Birkenstock Arizona - Black Suede
Oh I love those socks! I'm a sock-aholic...I love socks with cute pictures or kooky stripes and colors!
Great colours, socks and birks. Can you send some sun our way please? England is beset by cool summer weather with lots of showers!
Birth control shoes - too funny - not Birks - at least not with bare feet - love your socks though ;o)
Now crocs - they really are bc shoes
great choice for background. i need your green thumb here! my plants are not doing so well...
and red, red, red!
have a nice day!
loving the color explosion!
here, everything is dry, dry, dry (and hot, hot, hot)...anything that was green is starting to look crispy.
LOVE the Birks and Stripes combo. I'm a birks lover and not ashamed of it - can't beat the comfort. Plus, I think your socks make them look very hip!
Hope you're enjoying our heatwave!
If it's not work boots or sneakers on my feet, it's my Birks. Of course it's been established more than once that fashionable I am not!
One always appreciates life more when you take time away from work to enjoy it. Maybe I need to remember that little gem more often!
Brilliant shot of hot and I love birth control shoes myself.
