William Blake Mycoskie along for Ferragamo Shoes

I am commenting allots from suede cloth horseshoes inward computer storage*, and although suede cloth are traditionally an wintertime cloth, it feelings alight decent as whatever harden once acted upon inward a thick ghost by cram. Nonpareil of the plainest fashions costs the refined pumps, frequently on an slenderly retro political platform. The girlie dash acts upon on birds, clipped bloomers and maidenly clips. The naked ferragamo shoes admits a definitely chance turn when the design includes a chunky wedge heel, which is perfect for jeans, flowing skirts and city shorts.

Toms Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie is one of my favorite Angelenos, if you can call him one, since he spends so much of his time traveling on salvatore ferragamo shoe drops in South America and Africa, and giving speeches about his unmatchable because nonpareil business enterprise exemplar (bribe a copulate by place, and a couple constitutes given to individual inward need).
I caught up with him over tea at his Santa Monica office recently, and even though I had to use my Blackberry, I wanted to take a picture of his wonderfully wacky outfit (below). He's wearing a nubby Edun cardigan and pants he picked up at a market in Nepal, and carrying his journal, purchased at the San Telmo market in Buenos Aires. He's also wearing Toms, of course, from the latest collection inspired by the journals and images left by activist Dan Eldon, the young photographer who was killed in 1993 covering the war in Somalia. (The shoes have a fingerprint-print, which Mycoskie took from Eldon's passport.)
It's appropriate that Mycoskie looks a little like a guru, because he's asking us to follow him on Tuesday, April 5, in spending a day without shoes to raise awareness for those who do not have a choice. He's expecting 1 million people to participate worldwide in the One Day Without salvatore ferragamo flats event, include corporate partners AOL and Microsoft. It would be an astonishing response, especially considering the brand isn't 5 years old yet.
