What I Wore-Goodbye Spring!

/ / 14 Comments
Ok, so it went from 0 to 90 degrees in no time flat in NY so it might be time I say so long to transitional weather and jump right into Summer. Also since Memorial Day in the U.S. is the unofficial start to summer here I thought no better time to say farewell to the outfits that didn’t make it to the blog this Spring season. My favorite sweater. (sweater-barney’s warehouse sale; jeans-ny&co skinny; tee-alternative apparel; sandals-target) This is… View Post

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

So when my cousin first came to the U.S. she applied for tickets at The View and 3 years later she receives an email that she finally has her tickets!

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
