I became a fan of Gray Malin’s photography somewhat recently. I just feel like his work is simple and beautiful, but fully encompasses everything I stand for. I love that he takes so many bright and colorful pictures of beaches all over the world. His photos are really fun too. I also love that many of them are from an aerial perspective. It’s just refreshing. Someday, I will own some of his prints. Until I can afford them, I will wear these. Sperry partnered with Gray Malin to design a couple pairs of shoes. These are my favorite because they have the aerial perspective of people at the beach, but they are also the typical boat shoe. The reason I love Sperry isn’t for the same reason as many other people. I know they have that preppy, trendy stereotype. However, I actually use them on my boat. They are great for boating and keep you from slipping around. This is what boat shoes are meant for. I grew up with a boat and my family has alway had one, so for me boat shoes mean something other than “cute shoes.”

I wanted to blog these while on my boat but the weather is getting colder. I don’t know if I will be able to go on my boat again this summer, so I am talking about them now. I just wanted to wear something simple with these shoes. I wanted the shoes to stand out. I stopped by the beach a few days ago and hiked a short trail by the marsh.
I also decided that I will be linking many more pages to my blog of whatever I am talking about. If something I’m wearing is still for sale, I will link it. However, usually by the time I get around to blogging about something it is no longer for sale. That’s why I never bothered before.
