TOMS Style Your Sole

WOW. What an amazing time. I'm co-president of a club at my school called Big Sisters and on Friday we hosted a TOMS Style Your Sole Party. Not familiar with TOMS? It's one of the most inspiring companies around today. This video tells the story of how the movement started watch. Watch it.

Amazing right? The one for one model is probably the coolest thing the fashion industry has ever seen. For our party, over 100 kids parcticpated. We orderd plan white TOMS shoes, bought paint, and went to town. Spatter paint, sharpie doodles, stencils and song lyrics, no two shoes were the same. Every is planning to wear them tomorrow. I can't WAIT to host one of these parties again. If you have any questions about how to have one or about TOMS, let me know. Check out the photos I snapped.

These are mine: gold, silver and purple splatter paint.







The afternoon was a huge success and everyone's shoes turned out amazing!!! I'm now a diehard fan of the company and movement. Think these shoes aren't high end? Nordstrom carries them, if that says anything. Want your own pair? Check out the website to snag a pair of your own. I have my eye on a pair of the gold glitter ones. Fashion with a cause...what could be better? Keep the love coming and follow me if you love it!
