Hop to It!

I can’t understand why people don’t like frogs.  I think frogs are adorable, with their tiny webbed feet and sweet little faces.  And their bright colors!  Frogs are beautiful.

Adventure Aquarium thinks so too, and have brought in 20 special guests for their new exhibit Frogs: Nature’s Messenger.  Frogs like the yellow banded poison dart frog:

Aww, look at him.  This frog has one of the loudest calls among poison dart frogs; their call can be heard from some distance and is described as an innocent-sounding, bird-like trill. It is the only poison frog known to aestivate, which means it will go dormant during the dry season.

The Pisces has the yellow and black of the frog on the four-inch heel and round toe, respectively.  (They say it’s an almond toe, but it looks round to me.)  The upper is faux suede, and it has an ankle strap with little silver buckle to finish off the look.  Yours for $56 from ASOS.

This little guy is the strawberry poison dart frog:

This species can be found primarily in Central America – and mostly in humid lowlands or forests, as well as in spansive, undisturbed areas like plantations.  It is known for its wide range of color morphs with up to 30 different variations.

The Lipstick Red/Royal Blue Patent Leather Ballerinas by Sergio Rossi are pretty much just what the name says!  I am sort of mesmerized by the shiny blue cap toes… I keep getting lost in their shininess.  They’re 100% leather, and are half off at Stylebop!  Now $272.

This is the dyeing poison dart frog:

This is one of the largest species of the dart frog family, capable of reaching average lengths of 2 inches.  It gets its name from a legend that members of various tribes in the Guianas of South America would rub the toxin from this frog onto the skin of young parrots, magically changing their green feathers to yellow or red.

The Bonnnie by Betsy Johnson (and no, that’s not a misspelling—three Ns in the name) is a beautiful blue peep-toe pump, with touches of the black polka dots that also adorn the dyeing poison dart frog.  (The netting on the toe is nice, but on the 4.25-inch heel—now that’s special.)  And see that pink shadow, under the toe?  Yeah, the sole is bright pink.  Pink-splosion!  Find them at Heels.com for $110.

So have I won you over to frogs?  Even if I haven’t, go to the aquarium and check them out!  Maybe they’ll win you over themselves.
