Please?

After quite a few road trips and numerous summer activities,
it's about time to buckle down and quit spending my hard earned dollars.
[except of course for the remainder of my summer plans,
including but not limited to a few concerts and a trip to Florida]

For the time being I'll be strictly window shopping. Here's a few things I've been lusting after.

What have you been saving up for??

One Day

I'll actually get back in the groove of blogging regularly.

For now, every time I think I'll be able to, I will undoubtedly get distracted.

In just a few short hours I'm headed south for a friends

gorgeous beach wedding. It couldn't be better timing, I'm beyond

excited for a mini vacation, the beach, palm trees, drinks and a nice tan.

As you can read here, I'm easily lost in the world of Pinterest.

I've been wanting to share some of my favorite pins,

but since my mac hates to publish photos on blogger,

I'm stuck sharing a bunch of links.

Enjoy!!

• Adorable aprons, possibly a DIY???
• Where can I find this mouthwatering summer fruit!?
• Green+lace+TOMS. Love.
• I want a house with a perfect kitchen to which I can invite friends for coffee and use this cuteness
• My perfect kitchen will be this exact shade of green
• I need to learn how to make this asap
• Art
• Looking to buy me a gift? I'll take this!
• Yes please.

It All Starts With an Idea

"I was a technology nerd.

I had no experience in fashion or shoes, I met some kids who didn't have shoes,

I wanted to give them shoes and now I'm head of the fastest-growing shoe company in the world.

I've given away 300,000 pairs of shoes,

so I'm an example that you really can make a huge difference with just an idea."

If you've visited Always Love recently, you already know I'm a huge supportor of

One Day Without Shoes,

which is happening right now, today, all over the world!

A downside of being in the corporate world, I'm unable to go barefoot in the office today,

so instead I'll be spending every possible moment shoe-less

and also be treating myself and a youngster somewhere out there to a new pair of TOMS!

Are any of you spending the day barefoot?

Even just a few hours today supports the cause!

Every day millions of children world wide go without shoes.
