TOMS.

would you buy a pair of very stylish, functional, and affordable shoe in order to donate a pair to a child in need?

well my mother bought a pair for me for my birthday.  the TOMS shoe company has dedicated itself to the 'one for one' challenge.  For every pair sold, one is given to a child in need.  these shoes aid to prevent disease in children of poverty stricken countries.  they run from $54 and up depending upon the fabric and may i just say they are some of the most comfortable shoes i have ever worn.  some would argue that $54 is a bit much for shoes, but i believe in the cause, quality, and style.  they can be worn in so many ways and with so many outfits.  i can't wait to get another pair!!!

below are just some outfits i put together incorporating TOMS. enjoy.

i have recently discovered that fossil(one of my most favorite places for accessories and purses) has a charm bracelet collection.  they have completely redefined the concept of the charm bracelet with their unique and very vintage collectible charms!! i first saw this collection at elder-beerman but i was browsing through their website and found several charms that i absolutely fell in love with.  i really would love to put together one of these bracelets but they are so expensive.... sooo i will wait for a sale!!!

photo club anyone?

i have recently read on a blog about the blogger joining a photography club.  this sounds like such a great idea! i really want to start one soon.  from my understanding, there is a challenge each week: such as take a macro picture of an object.  this sounds like such fun and it would be a good way to commit myself to taking pictures each week!! :) i am soo exicited! i am mainly targeting this post to my only follower jessica, but i'm thinking about making it web based through pinterest or flicker.
