My Fave Mothers Day Gifts

/ / 4 Comments
So Mothers Day is May 8th, right around the corner(!) and because my mamacita means the entire world and universe to me I wanted to share my favorite Mothers Day gifts with you. I posted this guy in Valentine’s Day gift ideas (V-Day gifts: here and here), but I’m going to make one for my mamacita for Mothers day this year. These compliments are really awesome but the lovely Kind Over Matter (wonderful blog name, no?!) have also made a… View Post

Happy Earth Day!

Some Earth Day inspiration for you :). All images linked to their sources, have fun! I heart Cri de Coeur makers of HOT vegan accessories. The Museum of Arts and Design in NY had an exhibit called Second Lives. I didn’t get to go and I totally still regret not seeing these things in life :(. Ooooh I saw these market bags from Artecnica at Sustainable NY and they are so so pretty and modern, would be lovely for a… View Post

What a Little Blogging Can Do-Asos Africa Update!

/ / 28 Comments
I wrote a post on ASOS Africa and their collaboration with SOKO Kenya back in March (see post HERE). I decided to write that post because it required a bit do of digging to find SOKO, the fair trade manufacturer for the ASOS Africa line, since there was no description of how the ASOS Africa line was made on the ASOS site. This is what ASOS Africa items looked like before, just one month ago. P.S. this jacket is still… View Post

Made by Voz-Empowering Women with Design

The efforts of people to make this world more beautiful never cease to amaze me. This is what brought me to Voz and The Chol Chol Foundation, who work as production partners to bring fair trade work to Mapuche artisan women in need. Jasmine Aarons was inspired to create Voz after traveling to study indigenous design for her graduate program at Stanford Product Design. Jasmine then went to Chile on a Haas post-graduate fellowship to offer women of the Mapuche courses… View Post

Store Highlight- Imani

/ / Comments Off on Store Highlight- Imani
I read about Imani on The Compassion Fashion Project. (click on any image to buy) The Zion Project is an organization that aims to heal and empower war-effected women and girls in Africa; Imani is their store. I completely fell in love with all the bright colors in so many of their necklaces.   These women are paid fair trade wages and many of the necklaces use recycled paper, sorted by color and then meticulously made into beads. So theses… View Post

Friday night was pretty ah-maaaazing! Ahhhhhh Miss Jackson! – The tour is for her Number Ones album. This was the set list: It was everything I wanted to hear and Janet totally killed it! She looked fantastic and totally lit up the whole place just by smiling. She had lots of awesome costume changes and choreography straight from her old videos. It was a big dance party at Radio City 😀 And this is what I wore: A little sassy… View Post

I’m sure you know about Asos and all its glory. Their fashion is inspiring, wearable, current and (holy moly!) even affordable…and as an aside, I’ve had some issues with delivery before they had a U.S. site and let me tell you their customer service is excellent-returns are easy and they are incredibly responsive. But I will give you 2 more reasons to love Asos: 1) Asos Africa I stumbled on on the Asos Africa Blanket Cape featured below (click any… View Post
