Happy Earth Day…Spring Blooms

Hi friends, I know it’s been a little bit since I’ve posted. Truthfully, I felt a little uninspired and in need a bit of a break. Hope you all don’t hold it against me! But I am now truly inspired by SPRING! Yay! Although the April showers are definitely in NY, Spring is blooming  and on this Earth Day I thought an ethical round up of some sweet blooming ethical fashion is appropriate :). floral backpack- $52.50 // silver leaf… View Post

Ethical Beauty-Petit Vour Box February

/ / 4 Comments
So friends, this is my first subscription situation ever, ever, ever! My apprehension to join subscription beauty boxes really comes from not wanting to have a lot of extra beauty things, but since I really only have a couple of “go-to” items. I thought subscribing to a cruelty free beauty box would be a good way to find more cruelty free brands and hopefully expand my “go to” list.

Back from Vacation-St. Martin’s

Fewer things make me happier than an empty beach with calm cool waters. Last week I had the pleasure of going to St. Martin/St. Maarten, the lovely half Dutch half French island in the Caribbean. If you want a super easy sweet vacation let me tell you St. Martin is a great choice. We stayed on the French side which after visiting the Dutch side I think it’s my preference. Our little hotel on Orient Bay was very sweet mixed… View Post

What I Wore- Purple Impression

  Friends, I want to introduce you to a wonderful new ethical brand called Purple Impression. While visiting San Francisco I had the pleasure of meeting Drakshan and Afshan Khan the lovely, smart, passionate sister duo who founded Purple Impression from their desire to give Pakistani women an opportunity to use their craft steeped in tradition as a means of empowerment and independence. It is very traditional for women in Pakistan to be confined to their homes–a staggering statistic from 2008: only 21.8%… View Post
