The Royal Wedding

Congratulations to William and Kate on their marriage -- the wedding of the centrury, really. Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen had the honor of designing the princess-to-be's dress, and as expected, it was flawless. Goodluck to the both of them, and keep an eye out on Burton, she's in the top spot already.
Enjoy & stay loyal.

Le Fou by Wilfred Spring/Summer '11

By far my favorite brand at Aritzia, my go to. LOVE this new collection.

Le Fou by Wilfred's Spring/Summer 11 collection reimagines the Victorian era, finding inspiration from the innocence of those bygone times.  Beautifully luxurious fabrics such as washed and raw silk, heavy Battenburg lace and double crepe are finished with details such as hand-knotted cords, quilted waistbands and delicate embroidery.  A modern, muted colour palette of earth tones are complemented by vibrant hues such as Baiser fuchsia.

TOMS

Blake Mycoskie travelled to Argentina in 2006 and

noticed that the children there didn't have shoes. A year later, and as a result of his amazing cause, 10,000 pairs of TOMS were given to children in need.

TOMS is a shoe company that matches each pair of shoes bought by a customer with one that is given to children worldwide in need of a pair. They come in so many different colors, both plain and patterned.

 

I recently bought a pair for myself and it feels so nice to know that my purchase is also beneficial to a child somewhere in the world.

Great cause, and they're also very comfy!
visit TOMS shoes to buy your pair now! :)

Live, Love, and Give.
