Introducing TOMS Ballet Flats. Plus a Book Giveaway!

It’s no secret that I love my TOMS shoes. They are the first pair of shoes that I put on after I got out of the walking boot in September and I’ve worn them pretty much every day since. It’s safe to say that it’s time for a new pair.


So when I heard about the new line of ballet flats TOMS was about to unveil, I was superpsyched!


They range in price from $74-$84 and come in a variety of patterns and colors, as well as a really nice black leather style. Plus they are all part of the “one-for-one” program that TOMS is most famous for.

To celebrate the new line of TOMS shoes, I’m giving away a copy of Blake Mycoskie’s book, Start Something that Matters that they sent to me to share with you.

All you have to do is leave a comment with how you plan to “pay it forward” in 2012. That could mean volunteer time, recycling more, charitable donations, or whatever YOU think is a best way to pay it forward within your community.

Leave a comment by Saturday, February 4th. I’ll pick a random comment using the WordPress Contest Generator widget that I’ve been wanting to try out! Winner must have a valid email address to be contacted.

Please note: This giveaway is only for the Start Something that Matters hardcover book. You’re on your own for the ballet flats. :)

Good luck!
