one for one


I know you have seen or at least heard about them
their cause
their generosity
their awesomeness


I photographed this couple on their wedding day (03.12.11)
and loved they they both sported them all day long!

TOMS has a simple mission
One for One
and it works.



For every pair of shoes purchased they donate a pair to a child in need.
How unbelievably cool right?


So this post isn't about a giveaway or a discount..
when you think about a kid not having something so simple to us like shoes
doesn't it make you think we all have enough, and sometimes too much?

I see other blogs doing giveaways and sure I could write to the company
and ask them to do one for my readers.. but it just doesn't seem right.


I want to feel good about my purchases,
 and this is something that can make my feet and heart super happy. 
 I just wanted to share a great mission with you.
Next time you need a pair of shoes, why not do something good with them?

    I just bought my 1st pair a few weeks ago and have yet to wear them. I love the concept!! And I can't wait until the re-stock the kiddo sizes so I can buy them for my little folks.

    Thanks for posting about them. I love what they stand for. Last week I participated in their one day without shoes challenge and it made me even more aware of what a difference shoes do make. And how blessed I am!

    I love LOVE Toms! They are the best shoe ever! I've got a couple pairs and it's the ONLY shoe Emma will wear! I'm glad you posted this, it's a great cause and bring awareness to others as well.

    This was my giveaway last month but I didn't write the company I bought them for my reader because last month was my own birthday month and instead of rewarding myself; I like you wanted to spread the word about the work of TOMS.

    That said, I cannot wait to buy some for myself! It's great you are spreading the word!

    I have to tell you I saw someone copy your pleated flower and no worries. There version is not even HALF as cute as yours. I kinda chuckled at how bad a version it actually was. You are the master at the pleated flower!!! ~Traci

    I really like the idea of having a TOMS
    wedding. I'm the maid of honor at a friends wedding and i'm trying to convince her to go for it. It makes sense as they go to a good cause and the entire bridal party will be able to dance all night without countless blisters! Perfect in my eyes.
