I missed it this year, the pictures included above are of 2 years ago. This foundation has raised millions towards research, the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. This race which becomes of the most sought after and highly participated events of Central Ohio. Continuing to focus on stories of strength and survival. Just because the race has ended doesn’t mean the journey is over. Please continue to support this organization and others that help to uplift and outreach women diagnosed with cancer.

When I went into this new store called “Shoe Woo” at Easton Towne Centre. I was pleasantly suprised to see this new trend of cork inspired shoes. There were flats. wedges and my personal fav a Nine West peep toe. Now I know each season there are knock-offs and discount retailers. But ladies let me remind you cork is as fragile if not more than suede or nubuck; definitely not water or stain resistent. So trust me when I say don’t skimp on the quality because “one dollop of daisy” will ruin this hot look.
