I don’t know about you guys, but I love socks with cool designs on them! It’s also always great to have a nice warm pair of socks under your boots in the snow or to show off when wearing a pair of athletic shoes. This next brand I am talking about specializes in creativity and gives back to the community all at once. The brand is called SKYLINE and they offer socks with different images, some being a specific skyline, that represent a certain city. They offer socks with patterns representing ten different cities that are all unique in design. When you purchase a sock associated with a city another pair of socks will be donated to someone from that city. The purpose of these socks is to bring people from a specific city together by providing two individuals with something symbolic, such as the image of the city skyline. The socks are very affordable and provide a great way to represent your hometown! Being from Chicago I found it fitting to post some of my favorite options they have available below. 

With winter approaching I thought this brand would be great to focus on for my next post. Roma is a company that makes boots and supports giving back to the community. They do so by giving to a child in need when someone purchases a pair of boots. The company has many different boot options available that range in style and colors. They strive to help children that live on the streets and orphans by providing them with a pair of boots filled with educational supplies. The goal of Roma is to provide children in need with a pair of shoes as well as the necessary supplies to encourage them to pursue an education. The company decided to make this their mission in hopes of eventually eliminating poverty and giving children the tools necessary to have an opportunity they might not have otherwise. If you are in need of boots in order to battle the snow this website is definitely one I recommend checking out! 

This week I had to go back to talking about one of my favorite brands even though I have mentioned it before. The reason I had to bring up this brand is because they have a special offer available at the moment. This offer allows you to buy the special edition bracelets that were previously only available for a limited amount of time. The brand is MyLokai and the offer included all five Lokai’s that have been created. This offer is great because it gives people a chance to purchase the bracelets again if the missed the chance before. Allowing them to be purchased again lets the donations continue and a great cause continues to be supported.

Clear=original one created supporting local causes

Camouflage=supports wildlife

Blue=supports providing clean drinking water

Pink=supports breast cancer

Red=supports the organization Save the Children

This next brand I am talking about gives back by donating one of their products to a cause rather then a specific charity. The brand is called Headbands of Hope and this name represents exactly the purpose of this company. When you purchase a headband through this company a headband is given to a child with cancer. They have had a lot of success when it comes to reaching a wide range of individuals, donating to every children’s hospital in the United States since 2012. Due to this success rate they have now launched a new category of accessories that are specifically categorized as The Hope Market. The Hope Market consists of a number of different items that contribute to a different childhood cancer charity every month. The headbands and accessories that are on the website are fashionable and come in many different styles and patterns. Other than headbands they offer things such as necklaces, hats, t-shirts, and hair ties.  I have not had a chance to purchase one of their products but would like to in the future based on their products reaching out to a great cause.
