Toms Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie and a team of volenteers recently traveled to New Orleans where they gave away 2,000 pairs of shoes to kids at local schools. The best part is he and his 33 volenteers all paid their own way! They spent three days in the city visiting multiple schools in the area where they visited with the kids. I have always been a fan of this company and stories like this are the reason why!! Read the ful…

There is no need to go to those crazy cheap knock-off copies of designer shoes that you can find online (that actually maybe dangerous since they are poorly made in China) for supposedly half price of what they really cost. Beautiful Hollywood superstar look-alike heels can be found at Miashoes.com, Amiclubwear.com, GoJane.com and Baker Shoes online for less than 75 dollars and with all the guaranties of getting go…
