Just in case you've been living under a rock for the past couple of years, here's the story of TOMS Shoes: While vacationing, in 2006, a native Texan named Blake Mycoskie befriended the children of Argentina. When he learned that they had no shoes to protect their feet, he took action and founded TOMS Shoes. His company's straightforward and inspiring concept is providing the World's less fortunate children with shoes. For every pair purchased, TOMS gives a pair to a child in need. ONE FOR ONE. To date, TOMS Shoes has given away over 130,000 pairs in impoverished parts of Argentina, South Africa, Ethiopia, and the U.S. They are projecting another 300,000 pairs this year.
Styled after Alpargatas, the traditional footwear of Argentina, TOMS Shoes are just what your feet have been craving. They are classic, comfortable, and cool, in a single shoe with a cause.

We were featured in an editorial piece, titled Clothes We Love, in last month's InStyle Magazine. It was neat to be mentioned in such a highly regarded publication. It would have been even neater, though, if the InStylers would have included our store name along with our phone number. The safari striped skirt by French Connection is not available until late April, but we are currently taking orders. We also have French Connection's high waited skirts in a pretty floral & butterfly print and a solid olive. A waist-cinching belt completes the look, which, according to InStyle, "craves a tank and a beaded necklace." And we have those, too. Sounds like we're your one-stop-shop!
