Summer Summer Summertiiiime! Linda Farrows’s Spring/Summer collection is here to save you from those blinding global warming rays. Well, save your eyes at least. You should probably buy a spacesuit or something to ward against the other risks. Unless you live in New England. Because Mother Nature has decided that we deserve to drown with Noah and his arc nowhere in sight. When the storm has passed and the sun finally comes out to play, you can be prepared to ball hard with these. I’m cool. I’ve been rocking t-shirts and flip-flops since the beginning of June, because weather can’t stop my summer swagger. Plus, I enjoy sick days. Cop a pair of these at oki-ni. I’m a fan of the orange ones. And I happen to think Fourth of July gifts are swell. God bless America.

Ms. Farrow lined up some heavy hitters for this collection including my personal favorites; Raf Simons and Jeremy Scott. Get it.

I stumbled upon Keep a couple months ago while googling sneaker soles. Don’t judge me. After falling in love with their sole, I checked out their site, fell in love with their soul, it was love at first sight. Yeah, I did! Sorry, I’ve been listening to mixtapes non-stop and couldn’t deny the rhymability. That’s how you move me, Keep. Finally a ladies sneaker line that doesn’t look like they gave a 13 year old cheerleader with a Hello Kitty affliction some fabric and a glue gun. And all their shoes are cruelty-free, so you can feel a smidgen better while watching that ASPCA commercial with Sarah McLachlan. I mean, you’ll probably still cry like a baby, but at least you won’t feel completely at fault. I’m kind of obsessed with the watermelon print. Makes me feel like I’m at the farmers’ market trying to convince Pablo to give me a free pineapple. I’m very persuasive and a big fan of pina coladas.

Keep is available at Urban Outfitters, Karmaloop, and of course the Keep website. So you should probably cop a pair. Not the watermelon ones. Dressing alike is only cute for twins and as far as I know…I came out alone. Also, check the Sneaker Freaker interview with the head madam in charge, Una Kim. She’s kind of a beast.
