What I Wore and This Old Tee Craft

/ / Comments Off on What I Wore and This Old Tee Craft
One of my dearest friends and her boyfriend held an Art Day/Craft Night at their apartment a few weeks ago and it was mega super duper fun. This is what I wore. (necklace-buffalo exchange; shoes and cutout tee-urban outfitters; jeans-h&m) But more importantly!! This is what I brought to Craft Night. Some old t-shirts that were destined to become dust rags or getting donated, knitting needles, and beginner yarn to teach a darling friend how to knit. The goal of… View Post

Crushing on Osborn Shoes

/ / 15 Comments
I came across Osborn Design in an old vendor highlight from Brooklyn Flea. I think they’re shoes are just extraordinary. Beautifully and highly designed but really really practical for my walking life. Now the shoes left my mouth agape but the philosophy and fair trade practices of Osborn Design is what I find most inspiring. Co-founder Aaron Osborn’s family runs one of the largest orphanages in Guatemala and after meeting an unemployed cobbler in 2007 he was inspired. Aaron with… View Post

So friends tomorrow is my birthday and drum roll please….I will be 29! Can I tell you I’m so stoked to be 29?! I feel pretty darn great and super lucky to live the life I live.

(sweater-club monaco; tee-paragon; jeans-h&m; necklace-prize from The Budget Babe) I promise this is not another ode to the Knicks, I can not even talk about them right now as they are BREAKING MY HEART! BREAKING IT! But this is indeed what I wore in my real life to Game 1 last Sunday. What I really want to share with you is, this situation: Stockings and sandals!! Ok, so maybe not the most daring version of this combo on the internet… View Post

It is such a thrill to be on this list!!! The ASOS Update post really is my proudest blogging moment to date and it really showed me the power of blogging and the importance of my own voice. Secret time!!! I was almost not going to write SOKO. In my head, I thought “oh my blog is so small and new and who am I,” but I plowed through that self doubt because I really believed it was the right… 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

I do wear a lot of patterns and a lot of dresses and a lot of fun colors, but if I haaad to choose my most favorite item of clothing in my whole entire huge wardrobe it would easily be the Mama Cass Tee in white by Alternative Apparel.

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

In case you haven’t heard, I am a HUGE Knicks fan! I love them!! I could go into it but you can see more of my fanaticism here and here, if you like. Some fellow Knicks fans invited me to go to celebrate the Knicks making the 6th seed in the playoffs!!! Happytown USA for us! The Knicks haven’t seen the playoffs in 7 years, and WE have watched them, trust me…was not easy. So H-A-P-P-Y! The celebration was thrown… View Post

My friend was in town from London for an interview last week. Her schedule was a tad crazy; she arrived on Thursday, interview Friday, Saturday morning more interview, and then back on her way to London Sunday at 4am. YIKES! But I was psyched she made some time for me (smile) . This sweater is probably my favorite swap score, I’ve already shown you some swap guys here. But I actually borrowed this sweater before I owned it! I was… 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
