Ethical Fall Jackets

(L-R: swing trench – $138 // snow parka – $89 //quilted liner jacket – $54) So I’ll finally admit it…it’s just about time for me to wear a jacket! The official start of Fall isn’t till next week, but it definitely has already started feeling like Fall in New York. It’s a little too soon for me (I really love summer!), but on the bright side I heart Fall jackets so much and there are some really great ethical Fall jackets around this season!… View Post

Good Words: Your Words Have Great Power

(photo via Karen Salomansohn) Hi friends, have you ever thought about the power of words? I for one can remember when one of my besties told me that if she had a daughter she’d want her to be just like me (I bawled); but on the flip side I remember when my brother told me I was cruel and ungrateful when I was 13. I truly can remember the very best and the very worst things people have said to me…even from… View Post

I Heart the Internet-Links

(photo via Zimbio) Oh friends, a heavy heart for the beautiful, wonderful, fearless and hilarious Joan Rivers. We truly lost a gem on Thursday when she passed away. Joan Rivers had the ability to reinvent herself better and better, braver and braver, and after every fall she’d get up taller. My review of of the Week is Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work: An honest and brutal look at the exceptional life of Joan Rivers. It’s a documentary that is hilarious and sad and… View Post

Ready for Plastic Bag Ban?! – Fold Up Totes!

(L-R: batik fold up tote – $28.49 // tortex ultralite tote – $14 // feed 100 bag – $45) GO California!!! State governor Jerry Brown says he will probably sign the bill on banning single use plastic bags in the state of California! That means if passed only paper bags and reusable bags will be available at stores to customers and they’ll have to pay at least 10 cents to buy one. I personally think this is AWESOME. So in light of… View Post

Good Habits: It’s Going to be Tough…THEN Good

 (via goodreads) Hi friends…have you ever made a big change in your life? Breaking up? Changing jobs? Moving? My awesome brother made quick decision to move across country recently and on his latest visit he confessed that he missed New York, and it hasn’t been easy. My bro is not one to share his feelings and my heart broke in little pieces when I heard the sadness in his voice. But I recognized this feeling all too well…I’ve felt it at… View Post

What I Wore-Weekend Wear

Well, hi there friends! I fear you may have forgotten what I look like because I haven’t done an outfit post in so so long! I LOVE me a summer weekend in NY. Lots of people go away so it’s not as congested, ladies are wearing midriffs and summer dresses, men in their shorts and the city doesn’t feel as hurried as the work week pace.  It’s like everything is a little slower and relaxed. (hat-thrifted via cauz for pawz… View Post

Smile File- Warning

So a while ago I walked out to lunch with a coworker and a bumped into these wonderfully happy women dressed in purple and red (see moment on instagram :D) and my coworker exclaimed, “Cute! Like that poem!” and I had no idea what she was talking about. I got back to my desk and the poem “Warning” by Jenny Joseph was waiting in my inbox and I just fell in love with it. Something about the rhythm in the… View Post

So in honor of my new found love here are some of my fave ethical… View Post
