Beach days, BBQs, and music festivals all require lightweight, poppy gear. And whaddya know? Lightweight and poppy would be the 2 words to best describe Native shoes. Fall in love with the low-profile Jericho Sneaker in this butterfly-inducing video. Plus, if some combination or all of the aforementioned activities are on your calendar…peep DailyCandy‘s guide to Summer Music Festival Gear. We are stoked to see that the Jericho is their footwear of choice, and though Karmaloop doesn’t carry fire pits, tents, or dry shampoo, we do guarantee that you’ll find the mandatory floral tank dresses, parkas, bucket bags, turbands, and even aluminum water bottles in our lineup.

Insight 2011 Swim
It’s not quite bikini weather here in Boston, despite how hard I’ve been trying to make it warmer using just my MIND. I guess I’ll have to continue to be patient, but I’ve never been very good at that. I’m always the girl at the beach in April, who insists on wearing a bikini despite the fact that I’m shivering, my lips and blue and it’s 50 degrees out. Oh well… at least our friends at Insight give us something to look forward to for when the weather DOES decide to warm up! Check out select images from their 2011 Swim Lookbook.
