What I Wore-MarketPlace India Catalog

/ / 2 Comments
Hi friends! I was really happy to be a part of MarketPlace India’s Autumn/Winter Catalog. They loaned me a Vani Drawstring Jacket to style in a fall look and I was thrilled at their selection because the great neutral gray tones of this jacket totally lends itself to lots of color combinations. (jacket-marketplace india; scarf-thrifted via beacon’s closet; jeans-thrifted via housingworks; shoes-thrifted via buffalo exchange; bag-omybag) Tee hee…so fun to see myself in print :D. Thanks for having me MarketPlace!… View Post

Consciously Trending-Colorful Scarf

/ / 3 Comments
(photo source: harper’s bazaar here) I saw this little vignette in Harper’s Bazaar this past September and immediately ripped it out, for you my friends! I feel fall and winter gear tends to be on the neutral/dark/gray side so the addition of a colorful scarf in a soft fabric makes for a really fresh juxtaposition. There are tons of ethical options for this trend that are friendly to your wallet as well :). Here are my picks! If you’re feeling… View Post

A Gift That Gives Back…for the Reader

/ / 4 Comments
I’m a big believer in buying gifts that give back so instead of getting your bookworm friend/mom/sister/brother/dad a Barnes & Nobles gift card this year how about a gift certificate to Better World Books. Not only does Better World Books support high impact literacy projects in the U.S and around the world but for every book bought a book donation is made to someone in need. Other awesome things FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING and in case you’re worried about your carbon… View Post
