If you’re looking for a pair of comfy, wear-almost-anywhere shoes then it’s hard to look past a pair of TOMS. They might look simple, but inside there’s decent arch support and a wide toe area that makes them super comfortable and perfect for all day wear. I’ve now got four pairs, including a pair of super high wedges, and they get a lot of wear throughout the week. Apart from looking good and feeling comfortable, I really like that wearing TOMS means I’ve done my bit at giving back a little. Did you know that every pair you buy means that someone less fortunate is given a pair for free? How’s that for warm fuzzies?! Imajine isn’t just a TOMS store though. They have jewellery, super cute pyjamas, socks, eyewear and others nice items that make for terrific gifts. Every single item sold here has some kind of giving element built in to the price so you’ll not only get that«I’ve just bought something new» glow, but the more substantial«I’ve just done something good for someone else» glow.

Imajine is a really unique store. Dedicated to social causes, everything in store gives back to community projects. So if you’re looking for feel-good shopping, this is the place to find it. They have the largest range of TOMS footwear and eyewear here, and owner Kathy is very helpful with a good knowledge of how the shoes wear. I picked up a pair of cute girly crochet TOMS and was eyeing off more that I hadn’t seen anywhere else. I was also introduced to One Night Stand sleepwear — which I hadn’t heard of but they have fun and irreverent PJ designs that are made locally as well as supporting meals through Open Family Australia. They’re not the cheapest, but no different to the pricing of a lot of brand name PJ brands with the guarantee that they’re not made in sweatshop environments. A local gem for socially conscious shopping.
