Hey Radbabes! I have so much to catch you up on! On December 3rd I had the opportunity to attend a launch party for the opening of TOMS's first Chicago store in Wicker Park. I had so much fun and will definitely be shopping there again!
The store was decorated with cheerful signs and inspiring photos. The vibe in the store is very laid back and very positive, they designed it to make anyone feel welcome inside and that is easy to tell. The TOMS's team is so nice and friendly. They are very committed to the company and to helping others which is what I look for in a brand/store.
Attention shoppers: this store is not a typical shop filled with merchandise, but it is also a coffee shop, does it get any better then that? Anyone can walk right in, grab a hot latte, and relax! Trust me, once that coffee kicks in, I guarantee you won't be able to help yourself from shopping the rad merchandise in the store. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, with every bag of coffee purchased, TOMS will provide one week of clean water to a person in need. How amazing is that?!

In addition to their shoes, they also sell a wide variety of
eyewear. They have reading glasses and sunglasses for both men and women.
Every pair is so trendy and comes in an adorable case that is also protective.
I instantly fell in love with a pair that are round and had a tortoise shell frame called the Charlie
Rae Blonde Tortoise Gold, they are perfect for any sunny day and match
everything!
Not only does TOMS practice
the one for one program, but they take extreme pride in their attention to the
children they are donating to. They understand that these kids live in places that
flood or have a lot of water damage. They designed a line of shoes that will
withstand a water region, and that they can walk around in water without
ruining the shoes. They offer a rain boot as well as a rubber slip on shoe. I had the chance to speak with a member of the TOMS team and she had some great insight- she expressed to me how they realized
a fashion or wedge boot would not do them any good in their harsh climate.
"We pay very close attention to the needs of the kids", she
explained. (Maria Boschetti)
