She She Shoes recognizes how essential it is to participate in making this world a better place. It is important to be aware that our world needs us and every little contribution makes a difference. The best news is there are so many different ways to give back and now we can even shop for a cause. Imagine feeling justified in your purchase and knowing that your shopping is doing some good? At She She Shoes we understand the value in “shopping for a cause.” Two of our favorite ways of doing this is standing behind products like TOMS Shoes and Love Quotes Scarves. These products leave you feeling good inside and out. By fusing fashion with philanthropy we are taking social responsibility and are provided with purchasing power that allows us to make a difference in the world.
TOMS Shoes:
TOMS Shoes is an American footwear company that was founded in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie (fun fact – the owner of She She Shoes graduated from Southern Methodist University with Blake – go Mustangs!). 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). Specifically, Blake, who befriended children in Argentina during his travels, realized that they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. The signature style of TOMS Shoes is based on the alpargata, a traditional Argentinean slip on shoe (espadrille style). Specifically, the shoes are casual chic featuring colorful geometric, tie-dye or glitter fashionable designs and start at $44!
Since the company’s inception in 2006, Toms Shoes has given away over 130,000+ pairs of shoes, with “shoe drops” occurring in Argentina and South Africa. A call to action isn’t hard; simply by buying a pair of shoes for yourself, a friend, or a relative, you can help a child in need get a pair of shoes. TOMS Shoes are manufactured in Argentina, in a completely sweatshop free environment. All production, even that of the materials is carefully monitored to ensure fair labor practices are met and that there is minimal impact to the environment. She She Shoes knows how important it is to walk away from a purchase feeling good. Not only are you going to leave She She Shoes in fashion, but also, you are leaving feeling good about your purchase. In the words of Blake, the founder of TOMS Shoes, “the goal isn’t how much money you make, but how much you help people.”
Love Quotes Scarves:
The greatest thing about Love Quotes scarves, in addition to how amazing they look, is that 10% of the proceeds are donated to children’s charities. The fashionably philanthropic scarves are perfectly in style and look good with almost anything. They have a way of making you feel a little more put together! With hand-knotted fringe, these scarves have an essence of earthy and worldly but still look high fashion. These Italian linen Love Quotes scarves come in every desirable color and are sure to bring some edge and some love to your wardrobe.
Love Quotes are a great way to add something to an outfit while giving back at the same time! They are one of the few truly timeless accessories out there that are perfect for pleasant days and cooler evening. These scarves are both lovely and practical and with all the color options it is hard to choose just one. In addition to 10% of the proceeds going to children’s charities each scarf is accompanied by an inspirational quote like this one; “we can do no great deeds-only small deeds with great love.” – Mother Theresa. Wrap yourself in some love today and help make a difference.
She She Shoes is here to help you take philanthropic action by staying in fashion!!! We stand behind our products and more importantly we stand behind the idea that each one of us has the ability to make this world a better place. Hope to see you soon!

Comment by Julia October 21, 2009 @ 3:47 pmGreetings! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa?
My website discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other.

I look forward to hearing from you! Wonderful blog by the way!
