I'm still dreaming of Akira's bazaar

I've got to say, one of the best events I went to all summer was Akira's 10th anniversary bazaar.  Located in Wicker Park, this festival was complete with amazing Akira sales, street vendors, free drinks, and even a live camel (now that's not something you see in Chicago everyday).  Free of charge to everyone!


I can't decide if my favorite part of the day was winning these Fiebiger Shoes, or getting my new pair of TOMS custom designed by the artists:


 I've always wanted to get a pair of TOMS, and when I saw that they were doing free customizations, it was obviously the perfect time to buy-- absolute brilliant marketing by Akira and TOMS shoes.  The best part is, with every pair of TOMS you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need.

These TOMS are fly as S*%T! 

Well done, Akira.  I'm eagerly awaiting your next festival.
