Brands We Love - Trove Tkees

The weather shot up to 80 degrees here in Colorado today and I happily unglued all of my breezy hippie gear from my hangers.  All dolled up with my favorite Gypsy 05 jumpsuit and Gorjana earrings that I can't live without, I slipped on my new favorite pair of sandals from Trove Tkees.  These sandals' colors are inspired by different types of make-up and my new faves are a pair of pink lemonade "gloss" sandals which were briefly mentioned in the Beautiful for the Cure post.

These sandals made their way onto that list because 15% of the October  profits from that particular color are being donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  That in itself makes them one awesome pair of sandals, but Trove Tkees are pretty awesome even without the charitable donation.  They are a great pair of flat, leather, thong sandals that just make the foot look extremely nice.  They are so good at doing it that they are the go to sandal for celebrities whenever they are in a relaxed atmosphere just living their every day lives - much how Nation Ltd. is the go to t-shirt company.  Odds are that you've seen celebrities wearing these sandals dozens of times, even though you may not have known what they were.  Now, just like Vanessa Hudgens, Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie, Hayden Panettiere, Lauren Conrad, Blake Lively, Jennifer Aniston, Rachel Bilson, Ashley Simpson-Wentz, Lindsay Lohan, Denise Richards and others, I am completely hooked on these shoes.  As a former Havaiana fanatic, this is saying a lot.  Before these I would buy nothing but Havaianas.  Now, I have completely ditched Havaianas for Tkees.

The one downside is that, because of their immense popularity, the manufacturer is barely able to keep up production in order to meet demand.  My favorite colors, the "foundation" shoes, which are colored to match different skin tones are especially hard to find.  They are celebrity favorites and so everyone snatches those up as soon a they are available.  Beside "foundations," the shoes also come in "liners," "highlighters," "shadows," "lipsticks," "blushes," "glosses" and "creams."  Soon, they will be releasing two more categories named "lip glosses" and "polishes."  Tkees will also begin to sell the sandals on their website, instead of through other retailers.  Until then, they can be purchased at Singer 22, The Trend Boutique, South Beach Swimsuits and Adorn.  They are no longer for sale at Bloomingdale's or Net-a-Porter.
