I got an email not too long ago from the oh-so-dreamy vintage shop LalaLand Vintage telling me about their new shoe, Mozzie. It was love at first sight! I have been obsessed with boots this winter. It's been getting colder and my favorite Converse just aren't cutting it anymore, so I have really been relying on chic boots. Suade and handmade, these shoes are sooo great. It's the kind of thing that I would have for forever and they would never go out of style.
LaLa Land Vintage also gave The Girl In The Check Scarf readers a special discount! Enter the code mozzie at checkout to get a whopping $100 off the price tag. If you still need more incentive to pick up this shoe, for every pair purchased JadaandJon will donate a mosquito net to help in stopping the malaria crisis in Africa.Click here to check them out.
I was recently emailed by a cause that I love very much called The Fresh Air Fund, saying that they still need 200 more host families! I thought I would pass along the information to all of you so that I could help spread the word. Please check out their website! http://www.freshair.org//
If you or someone you know is able to host, please sign up now. In 2010, The Fresh Air Fund's Volunteer Host Family program, called Friendly Town, gave close to 5,000 New York City boys and girls, ages six to 18, free summer experiences in the country and the suburbs. Volunteer host families shared their friendship and homes up to two weeks or more in 13 Northeastern states from Virginia to Maine and Canada.
THE FRESH AIR FUND, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Nearly 10,000 New York City children enjoy free Fresh Air Fund programs annually. In 2010, close to 5,000 children visited volunteer host families in suburbs and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada. 3,000 children also attended five Fresh Air camps on a 2,300-acre site in Fishkill, New York. The Fund’s year-round camping program serves an additional 2,000 young people each year.
