First off, Happy Mother’s Day!
Okay, I just had to do this quick post. I was surfing over at the TOMS Shoes web-site (remember the vegan wrap boots? and that when you buy a TOMS shoe they give one to a kid who needs shoes?), and they had this crazy special where the creator of TOMS shoes has his mom INDIVIDUALLY doodling over plain shoes for Mother’s Day (yes, at first I thought they were designed by children — but either way I think they’re awesome)! They were $68, and you couldn’t specify the design, but they are all SOLD OUT now (maybe she is tired of doodling!).
ANYWAYYYY, that got me inspired. All you need to do is get some White Canvas TOMS (also in men’s sizes), and you can doodle-em yourself! DIY TOMS! It’s over $20 cheaper and you can coordinate them with your own style. Then when you are out-and-about you can be like, yeah, I designed these myself.

Your post reminds me of a recent event in Chicago, where you could design your own TOMS! I didn’t go, but my gold glitter TOMS are a lot less sparkly these days.
The sparkly ones: I always think “earthy slip-ons” + “Dorthy” which of course makes me want to get some. I would be afraid of the loss of sparkly. All sparkly thing seem to lose their luster no matter what you try to do to stop it!!!
i saw a PBS special on Tom’s recently, and it won me over. i’m a sucker for philanthropy. do we know if they are comfy though? i’m thinking of getting a pair for summertime.
I have never worn them myself, but Tricia raved about them in a Currently Obsessed post this summer: http://tinyurl.com/peezds
