Already! I ordered these bracelets last week as soon as I heard about the new Market Publique for Brooklyn Charm collaboration, available for a limited time on Market Publique. About 30 excellent bracelets and necklaces are available, intended for layering, designed by Market Publique founder Pamela Castillo from BK Charm‘s selection of natural, vintage and [...]
If you’re a follower of ethical fashion, social shopping or even social media in general, chances are you’ve heard of The IOU Project by now. Launched last April, the brand is doing truly revolutionary things in the production and distribution of its garments. In production, all items have a one-of-a-kind nature, with the India fabric [...]
The time has come… to sell off my FLP Tees inventory! Which means all tees are marked down to $18 — that’s $30 off their original price of $48. Five percent of sales will still go to the Not For Sale Campaign, and I’ll still package and send each one in my hand-stamped chipboard envelopes, [...]
The weekend before last, I spent most of my Sunday at Renegade Craft Fair, and I did not come home empty handed. This was my fourth Renegade (last year I made it to Austin, SF and SF Holiday), and it seemed this time that the selection of sellers was more well-curated than ever, with less [...]
Now that my figure is constantly changing, getting dressed in the morning has been more of a challenge than ever. But this new maxi dress has been perfect for both warm days and a fast-growing little girl — yes, it’s a girl! You may be wondering whether she has a name yet. For now, we [...]
The Pioneer Renewer in the Castro has quickly become my favorite shoe repair place in SF. In the past year, I think I’ve already been in three or four times. So many heels worn down from so much walking! The repairs I’ve gotten there have all been above and beyond what I expected. So that [...]
Last Christmas, I included Bottlehood’s recycled wine bottle tumblers in almost every gift guide I made. Now I have a set of eight amber ones of my own! This is the first time I’ve ever seen them discounted, so I wanted to share code DADDY for 10% off at Bottlehood.com. (In celebration of Father’s Day.) [...]
We all love hearing about a new for-benefit company, where a business has built its concept around benefitting a social cause. Most for-benefits are based in Africa or other impoverished countries, which is completely awesome — but there’s something especially impactful about hearing about one in my own country. It hits closer to home, literally. [...]
Poketo just launched a line of accessories made from 100% vintage sofa leather — some lovely pieces, from the $32 leather button wallet to the $44 clutch. Shop here!
It’s been a long time since I’ve considered carrying a backpack, but right now, there’s something just right about them. Fjällräven’s Kånken backpack was designed in 1978 and still has the same design and quality today. “At Fjällräven we strive to make products that will last you a long time and even be passed down [...]
By my estimation, fashionABLE is as much a company about redemption as it is about scarves. The African-based scarf brand employs and empowers women who previously worked as prostitutes, and it takes every opportunity to tell each woman’s story. My Bezuayhu scarf (top) is a nice sublte design and the perfect weight. (Especially for spring!) It’s [...]
I didn’t know today was International Women’s Day until I got this email from Kate Spade — so Happy Women’s Day! To celebrate, they’re unveiling a small collection of accessories handmade by women in Rwanda via Women for Women International, including these black-and-white seed bead pieces ($95 & $45), also available in several other colors. The pink [...]
To everyone who’s taken my survey so far — thank you! I appreciate your feedback so much, and I must say, I’m flattered by your compliments. Thanks for being such great supporters. It means a lot. And it means that I’ll definitely start sharing more of my own style and proud finds here. Case in [...]
Of all the love-related jewelry out there, this one is the only piece that brought a smile to my face. Quite the statement! Ha! And for my more “casual relationships,” I’m sending Kate Spade e-valentines, each designed by thirty or so notable designers. (My favorites are the ones by Alice Lam and Allison Henry.) They [...]
I love straws, but I hate throwing them away. Last month at the Heath sale I bought two of these (The Bends, no relation to Radiohead), and I never would have considered GLASS for my permanent straws, but Glass Dharma has a lifetime guarantee against breakage. Amazing! The straight ones start at $7.50, and the [...]
For whatever reason, I think that luggage tags are a great gift — one of those use-every-once-in-a-while things that you’re glad you have when the time is right. These $12.50 tags are from SET Boutique, an online store of all fair-trade items that my friend Lindsay opened this summer. Lindsay is a former production artist for [...]
Stocking stuffer of awesomeness, anyone? PACT men’s and women’s underwear has always donated 10% of each purchase to your choice of their selected causes, but with each sale of the Winter Lights designs they recently launched, they’ll donate a solar lantern to a family in need in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Priced at $18-$22 for women, and $24-$26 for men.
You remember my friend Heather, who’s an amazing designer and has collaborated with me on all of the Fashion Loves People tee designs? Well she and her husband Aaron have been on quite the journey this year — they’ve applied and made it onto the waiting list to adopt a little boy from Ethiopia. They are incredibly [...]
