Smile File-Junk Mail

/ / 16 Comments
I love art made of unexpected material. Talk about upcyling! Sandhi Schimmel Gold makes these pop-art materpieces out of junk mail. Spotted on Flavorwire. I honestly can not believe the expressions Gold is able to coax out of paper. Amazing what people are able to see and do with really simple materials. I mean these scraps of paper were probably destined for the recycling bin! I can not imagine the vision you need to create these things. People are rad.… View Post

Afia-The Perfect Pieces for Spring & Summer, Ethically Made

/ / 38 Comments
A couple of weeks ago I read about Afia on Ecouterre and instantly fell in love with them. Afia is a fair trade sustainable line founded by Meghan Sebold. When I read Sebold was launching Afia at a pop-up shop in New York I knew I had to visit! So I tweeted with dear Ashley of Ashley4Emergy and off we went (more on sweet, sweet Ashley another day, PROMISE). On a trip to Ghana in 2006 Meghan Sebold was inspired… View Post

(jacket-century 21; gray sweater-target; dress and boots-urban outfitters) At the moment I’ve been so hesitant to put away my boots; the rain and the chilly weather in NY keeps me doubting the chills are over.… View Post
