TOMS

I've been a fan of TOMS shoes for a long time, but I never seriously thought about buying a pair. The TOMS business model is genius: buy a pair of shoes for yourself and TOMS will donate another pair to a child in need. What a great way to help clothe children in poverty stricken countries across the world.

My only hesitation was that the shoes were never really my style. Don't get me wrong, they're really fun, but I've always felt they were a little too young and funky for me.

Until now.

TOMS now makes wedges and they're adorable! I think I may have to start saving my lunch money to get a pair - and the fact that a child in need of shoes will get a pair as well is just extra motivation.

These are just perfect for summer!
