WEDDING CRASHERS

All the single ladies, put a ring on it!

Many wedding announcements are made this year in Hollywood, and in the Royal family. Celebrities are getting married in a beautiful bridal gown this year, and, off course, the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Kate's Alexander McQueen gown was breath-taking.

There are more and more different silhouettes, styles, colors, and length in many Bridal Collections. For example, Anthropologie launched their bridal collection called BHLDN on this Valentine's Day. The price is friendly and they also sell bridal shoes, bouquet, decors, accessories, and more to come. 

For a higher taste in quality, Vera Wang has been doubtlessly successful in her Bridal Collection. 

Dreams are coming true and happily ever afters are being witnessed through the stunning gown on the bride.

ONE FOR ONE: TOMS

"TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One. Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what we're all about."

TOMS Shoes is inspired by the design of Argentine Espadrilles. However, there are more patterns, material, and color to choose from. This makes TOMS Shoes suitable for many different occasions. Not like other shoes that are only designed to be aesthetically pleasing, TOMS care for the comfort of our feet.

This is a video of what TOMS Shoes One Day Without Shoes is all about!

On April 5th, TOMS just had one of their biggest global awareness called One Day Without Shoes, which people go around barefoot. This is for bringing up the awareness of the Third World countries’ children without shoes to wear

Neutral-colored TOMS goes with every outfit!
