Goodbye For Summer!

I'm leaving tomorrow morning, and just wanted to give a quick goodbye to everyone.

Thank you so much for reading my very new blog. I've really enjoyed it and can't wait to continue when I get back. For now, however, I have to sign off.

I hope you have an amazing summer, and I'll talk to you when I get back! Keep on wearing fabulous shoes :)

Spotlight: Tom's Shoes

So, you may have heard me mention TOMS Shoes once or twice recently, so I thought I'd dedicate a post to them.

TOMS Shoes is an organization started in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie. The movement, which targets the percentage of children who suffer from life-threatening diseases because they cannot afford shoes, is simple: for every pair of shoes purchased, TOMS will give one pair of shoes to a child in need, one-to-one.

After eyeing TOMS for a few months, I finally ordered myself a light yellow pair, and I must say that I love them. Not only do I know that my wearing them symbolizes that a formerly barefooted child is now wearing a similar pair, but I actually really like them as shoes.

They're casual and cute, available in a variety of colors and patterns, and are wicked comfortable. They even have arch supports- that's crazy. In a very good way. I think everyone should buy a pair of TOMS and wear them proudly.

In other news, ONE MORE DAY UNTIL CAMP!

Glorious, Glorious Summertime!

I am loving life right about now. Honestly! School's out, weather's beautiful, and I'm spending the few days I have left before going to camp (I'm going to be a counselor and CANNOT WAIT!) lazing around with random people and savoring the stress-free days.

With the summertime comes a whole new wardrobe, and I've loved refreshing my look almost as much as I've loved how I spend my days.

And a Headband on Top

My friend Hannah and I made a fashion mag for our Journalism class' final project called And a Headband on Top. We each contributed two pieces and had a joint photo shoot. We adore the outcome, and I wanted to display it here for you all to enjoy!

Wear Your Colors

Fact or Fiction: Shoes are meant to be kept neutral colors.

Fiction. Shoes can be the statement piece that offsets colors in an outfit or really stands out against a more neutral palette. Shoes come in all different shades and colors, so try to peek around a bit and find something you like!

Here are some suggestions that cover about every cover in the rainbow:



Red by Not Rated
These are so much fun, and a little rock and roll.


Orange by Nine West
T-Straps are always a funky choice.


Yellow by Nina Elijah
You can never go wrong with a peep toe, and the little floral touch is a sweet statement.


Green by Steve Madden
The bold color is a hot way to spice up a classic round-toe pump.


Blue by Chinese Laundry
A little sparkle for a night out.


Pink by Badgley Mischka
The hot slingback style paired with a delicate color and accessory is a fresh balance.


Purple by Romantic Soles
The dark color and slashed, ruffled foot are both feminine and vampy.


Metallic (Silver) by Badgley Mischka
A classic shoe with a modern touch.


Metallic (Gold) by Nine West
These are casual, funky, and bold.
