Style Spotlight: TOMS Chic & Charitable Sunglasses

From our friends at thefind.com

ll be honest – the entire concept of TOMS Sunglasses totally slipped under my radar. Maybe it’s because I typically don’t spend a lot of money on sunglasses (why splurge on a pair I’ll likely either break or lose when I can just binge-buy $10 pairs from Nordstrom’s Juniors department?). Or maybe it’s because I haven’t been a huge fan of TOMS in general, despite the brand’s admirable charitable contributions to people in need. Whatever the reason, I’m ashamed to have missed out for so long and I’m ready to enter the TOMS game, thanks to a few ultra-stylish pairs of shades that are tempting me to ditch my current “pay less, break more” accessories philosophy! Similar to the brand’s “buy one, give one” model when it comes to shoe sales, TOMS helps provide professional eye care to a person in need with the purchase of each pair of sunglasses. So whether you’re a fan of the Beachmaster, the Lobamba, or the Bellevue (or any of the brand’s many on-trend styles), it’s a lot easier to justify a splurge when you know the proceeds are also going to a good cause!

TOMS New Fall 2012 Collection Has Launched!

TOMS has quickly become a household name, thanks in part to their signature unisex espadrille-style flat classics, but the new additions this fall are sure to gain acclaim. You’ll find yourself walking through the city streets, grocery store, or office with grace and peace of mind once you slip your feet into the new Desert Wedges, Tomboy Boots and (you guessed it) the spruced up classics in corduroy, alongside new colors and prints.

[Taupe Suede Women’s Desert Wedge, $89]

This fashionable closed toe wedge is ideal for the girl on the go. At $89, you may not have to choose between black, chestnut, and — my personal preference — the taupe, pictured above.

[Kilim Women’s Classic, $54]

The natural shades of foliage in this classic style are reminiscent of a Navajo print or kilim rug, and simply eye catching! Don’t you adore the wool blend inspired by South African textiles? I’m loving this online exclusive pair too! Effortless slipping them on-and-off and durable, these are sure to be a fall staple.

[Black Suede Women’s Tomboy Boot, $99]

Pining for boots? TOMS has you covered. Part tomboy, part military, these boots are tough enough to get you through the colder months.

Remember, with TOMS, it’s “one for one.” Every pair you purchase helps a child in need — a good incentive to get a new pair of shoes (or eyewear, or clothing, as the brand has now expanded its offerings).

Buy Some Sunglasses, Help Someone See (LollieShopping Guest Post)

by

TOMS, the brand known for cute canvas shoes and giving a pair to a child for every purchase made, unlocked its mystery box last week to reveal the addition of sunglasses to its current line. Changing from a shoe company to a One for One company, each time you purchase a pair of sunglasses from TOMS, know that you are helping to give sight to someone in need (in the form of medical care, glasses or surgery).
