One Day without Shoes

I heart TOMS SHOES

I really do.
It's not good for my plantar fasciitis, but I really do love those shoes.
We've kicked off our shoes on April 5th to support their campaign of
"One day without shoes".


Not only do those shoes feel so comfortable, I love the concept of "With every pair sold, TOMS donates a new pair of shoes to a child in need.".

I remembered when I was a teenager that "espadrilles was a hit in the 80's-90's" And I remembered that my friends and I had matching colors to match. Haahaa. Anyways,the first time I saw Tom's shoes was at the mall and it just reminded me of those espadrilles. Then I saw on twitter and researched on it. I went to Nordtrom's and tried it on and Loved it! BUT most of all, I loved the concept of "With every pair sold, TOMS donates a new pair of shoes to a child in need".


Last Year was their 3rd Annual "ONe Day without shoes". So J.T and I walked the Streets of San Fro without shoes".





This year "One Day without shoes" was on a spring break again and the boys and I walked to the park, beach and was at LAX without shoes. And yes, I saw some people walking down the pier and LAX without shoes and we all smiled. Haahaa.




It's kind of gross haahaa, but when I think about the people especially the Children who does not have any shoes, it motivates me to help them even more.

Spring Break '11

Spring break started on April Fools....No, seriously. April 1st was on Friday and I didn't have enough time to do some crazy pranks for the kids. However, I was still able to pull some pranks on them. I told them we were going to have cereal on friday. Which by the way they were not happy because cereal day is only on thursday. Anyways, Jake wanted Cocoa Pebbles ( placed real pebbles inside the box) and JT wanted Cocoa puffs, and placed (cottons). The boys started laughing. They thought they were going to eat eggs and pancakes, but I told them nahh, you are eating the cereal. They thought that was the prank.



Friday was also Lunch with someone special and
Portfolio day at school. Paul, Tito John and Lola ( my mom)
and I went to their school and had lunch with them
and looked and read at their projects and journal.

We are so grateful for all their accomplishments this year.




Obsession Du Jour

I love shopping, shoe shopping even better. And when I go to DSW, I feel like a little girl in a candy store. (minus the sugar) of course.

I love trying on trendy shoes and looking for classic ones.
THEN, I saw These BEAUTIFUL Pair of shoes.
A Sergio Rossi pair of shoes...

They were in the sale rack..(shockingly), and it was marked 80% off.
and it's priced $40.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I almost died and it was in my size section (81/2). HOWEVER
when I checked the size it was size 8!!!

And European shoes are totally diff. from American made shoes.
Those Sergio Rossi's were gorgeous and it was narrow and ran very tight and small.

I've walked around the store many times with those shoes.
I almost bought it.After all they said "Suffer for fashion"
But I had to give it up when I got to the cashier.
Maybe next time, they might have Mahnolos or Loubotin's there.
(Crossing my fingers)
