One image we came across a couple weeks ago was by Alli Fox. Our creative department instantly fell in love with the way she chalked “LOVE” and placed TOMS in the shape of a heart. “We gotta use this!”

We couldn’t track down Alli’s for the original, so we re-created the image in the alley outside our warehouse door.

Her super cool image, that she may or may not have ever expected us to see, totally inspired us and has become a prominent piece on the TOMS website for Valentine’s Day!

To Alli- THANK YOU for being so awesomely creative.

We LOVE seeing the photos and reading the stories you upload the TOMS Wall… so get in there- upload, share, post, write, photograph, be creative. We take notice.

And then go pick out some TOMS to share the LOVE this Valentine’s Day :)

Not only did the two TOMS fans fall passionately in love with one another, they are now engaged to be married and plan for their entire bridal party will wear TOMS! See the Mother of the Groom’s story below…

When we were in Virginia on vacation this past summer (from our home in CA) our delightful, 22 year old bearded, tattooed web designer son and our family were eating burgers at little retro diner in Williamsburg.

We were approached by a (brave!) girl “My friend wanted me to give you her number” is what she told our son.   Yes, this cute and stylish 20 year old thought our son was cute… but what clinched it was that he was wearing TOMS!  Because he was fashionable AND socially conscious she could NOT let this opportunity pass by!

He called her.  They dated cross-country (interrupted briefly by his 6 week trip to help orphans in Kenya).  They are now planning their Virginia wedding and they want everyone in the wedding party (bride, groom, attendants, flower girls – parents???) to wear TOMS!

The happy couple rowing in Central Park, “Sara came to visit and a TOMS love story had begun..”

Although this is a beautiful and incredible story, we’re convinced there’s more like them… So tell us- did wearing TOMS land you an awesome relationship? Do your friends label you and your honey the “TOMS couple”? Would you dump your boyfriend if he stopped wearing TOMS? Post a comment below and tell us your TOMS love story!

See Jordan & Sara’s engagement photos after the jump!
