A Fashion Statement Worth Making (3 brands not to over look)
One part of living in reality is knowing there is life outside of Project Runway, Twitter, and The Situation’s fist pumping. However, sometimes it’s difficult to know where to start, what to do, or who to help. Unlike A-list celebs, jumping on a jet plane and heading to Africa isn’t all that realistic and isn’t exactly realistic for our budgets. So think of this as a place to start, a way to be fashion worthy, and a cause beyond just a “fashion statement”!
3 brands that are worth looking good for:

Not only is Toms a great company with a unique fashionable shoe, but they help children receive shoes throughout the world through their One for One movement.
