getting and giving all in one

today's little "do good" ditty is a shoe-good ditty. so we KNOW it's a good one, yes?
the shoe company Toms has always been philanthropic in nature - for every pair of shoes they sell, they give a pair of shoes to a child in need. i, for one, think that is a spectacular idea. it's not trying to be anything huge - it's just a good deed done. i'm a big fan of the idea of doing small acts of kindness - and this falls into that category on a large scale. loves it.

lately the company has had its name out and about a bit more - sprinkle in Ashley Olsen photographed wearing the shoes, and boom! off to the races. now, Toms is offering up some exclusives to be sold at Neiman's and also in-store at Bergdorf's, ratcheting the awareness up a notch and giving it a little sheen of luxury.

the shoes are simple, cute and comfortable. (kind of LOVING the skull print!!) you buy, you give. it's a magnificent equation in its simplicity, and it's about shoes. happy good karma!
