If you don't get the above reference that is in quotes, then a) you are a sad, sad, human being and b) click {here} as soon as humanly possible. Turn your sound waaaaay up.

On the 9th day of christmas, my true love sent to me...

... 9 spectacular heels from Modcloth.

Shoes found {here}, {here}, {here}, {here}, {here}, {here}, {here}, {here}

Who doesn't love a flamboyant pair of shoes? They all certainly have a flair for the dramatic...

Eight British trench coats...

Seven years of Tatler...

Six Juicy Bracelets...

Five shiny pearls...

Four ipod docks...

Three laptop cases...

Two pairs of slippers...

...and a shopping list of Tirvani favorites

Expanding your vocabulary

Brogues: "a style of low-heeled shoe or boot traditionally characterized by multiple-piece, sturdy leather uppers with decorative perforations (or "brogueing") and serration along the pieces' visible edges" (WikiPedia) 

Care to guess what brogues really are?

A few hints...

And if you really  can't get it now... there's just no hope for you.

Say hello to a new friend, brogues.

aka: oxfords.

PS: Check her out, rocking those brogues

And of course... look at dat 'fro. 

One for one

Don't you just want a pair? I do too... three to be exact.

These pictures were taken by me of girls around my school strutting their stuff in these world-friendly shoes. (The bottom edge of the picture is a screenshot from toms.com, their website) And so the question becomes, why not invest in a pair of these comfortable, cute, and do-good shoes? My answer is... I have absolutely no idea.

The title for this post is the motto for this very well known brand, that presents a sustainable way to make a change in this world. "TOMS was founded on a simple premise: For every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One." Omgosh I love them... they're a little funk-ay (which I love), they're comfortable (which I love), and there are so many options (which I love). I plan to get three pairs this summer... :)

Any favorite styles of toms you've seen? Is it just me who's obsessed with them...?
