Do you celebrate Friendsgiving? Charity (who took these pretty photos!) and I like to team up on Friendsgiving and invite our circle of friends (mostly best friends from our college days) to gather round. And by team up I mean she gets all the credit. I bring whatever DIY fall flowers I'm experimenting with at the time, and try not to light them on fire between the candles.

Our favorite ethical fashion brands for adding COLOR to your wardrobe
It's midsummer and I am really feeling color. While I'm devoted to pastels year-round, I know when fall comes, I'll sink into the earth tone trend that everyone's obsessed with at the moment... But not yet. Everyone's also soaking up the primary colors, which I could never really get behind until I bought a pretty green linen top, and now I'm sort of into it. All that to say, color is on the brain, and with that, all of the ethical fashion brands that bring us splashes of saturated hues and ... Read More
