Earth Day is approaching and Raven + Lily, an eco-friendly and socially responsible lifestyle brand dedicated to empowering women, is part of the growing fashion industry that recognizes they can produce beautiful products while treating mother earth with kindness, rather than cause harm. Their handcrafted products which includes scarves, jewelry, paper goods and bath products, are made from upcycled and eco-friendly materials.  For example, bullets and vintage coins are melted down and repurposed into eco-friendly, beautiful jewelry! This brand is being recognized quick and this weekend is a perfect time shop. They are offering 30% off from today to Sunday – just enter ‘earthday’ at the checkout.

In addition to creating beautiful eco-friendly products, Raven + Lily is equally dedicated to making a positive difference in women’s lives and empowering them through design – currently collections from Ethiopia and India. Their paper collection is crafted by women in Northern India, where they print press and stamp delicate images on handmade, recycled paper, created entirely from paper and cotton waste from the textile industry. Newspapers, cotton rags, old army tents, and denim jeans have a whole new purpose.  Soaps are made with love using organic and natural ingredients and wood jewelry is handcrafted form locally sourced wood. Marginalized Muslim women from this region gain employment and sustainability for themselves and their families by crafting stationery and journals from these materials.  In the mountains of Northern Ethiopia, farmers supply bead makers with artillery shells from former war conflicts that are found on their lands for Raven + Lily’s beaded jewelry collection.  Raven + Lily’s partnership helps employ women from this area and also provides HIV care and educational opportunities for their whole family.  These women skillfully create their exclusive jewelry designs in a loving, community environment. What was once intended for harm now brings hope and positivity.

What better way to welcome spring in to your life and closet then with a floral skirt and neon socks! The fact that florals are a hot trend for spring and summer is nothing new, but it’s how you wear and pair this lady-like print that makes it fun to adore season after season. This look below is a perfect example of how to make florals fun and bold. If you’re going with a floral skirt, have it pop by pairing it with a top a little more muted like a crisp white button down, a neutral colored bag is the perfect accessory to complete the look and for a little fun, why not add a pop of neon! The neon socks will give a very youthful and fresh taste to your look, edit to your choosing <3.

Whenever shopping for yourself or decorating for your home, it’s natural to make sure you stay true to your style. In a perfect world, you want your friends to look at an accent in your home and say, “that’s so you!” It’s funny how fashion inspires home decor and vis versa. A perfect example is this pair of edgy Smith tie dye pants and this CB2 tie dye rug. Talk about two peas in a pod! This black and white tie dye combo gives an edge to a well known bohemian print. Do you or your home need a little tie dye in its life?

{Bloggers Market | Hosted by Sincerley, Jules}

I found my way to the Bloggers Market today, despite the rain. I knew it was going to be a good one – hosted by Sincerley, Jules, my FAVORITE vintage clothing company, Pretty Genius, Late Afternoon, Honestly…WTF, and many more. I had to make it to this one.

Pretty Genius' Booth - Lovely & Colorful, as always!

The crowd was  beautiful one and the clothes were amazing (despite the fact this is the junk in their closets they DON’T want. I felt  a little odd about shopping the clothes they’re done with, but hey, I had to at least go check it out.  I told myself I wasn’t shopping, but Pretty Genius gets me every time. Erin and Renee scour not only LA, but Palm Springs, SF basically anywhere they can, to find us the best vintage out there and sell it at a decent price. I walked away with two amazing finds for $60, but couldn’t have purchased much more…

Tribal Vest

Vintage Top

These tops are hard to see on the hanger, but they hang perfect and once styled right, I can’t wait to wear them!

{Couture Culture and Oasis Dresses}

Mar 22nd, 2012

The Paris 2012 Spring/Summer Haute Couture collection showcased classic
Chanel, daring Dior, and ‘a la mode’ Armani – but what really stole the show was
Stephane Rolland’s muse, ex-supermodel Yasmin Le Bon, wearing a dress heavier
and more stunning than an elaborate Elizabethan gown.In a triumphant finale to the Couture Fashion Week, Le Bon – with the aid of two
assistants to arrange and carry the dress – was wearing a scarlet metal-plated
ensemble weighing a considerable amount, and featuring a 45 metre, sweeping fan-
style train.

Elsewhere in the show, models could be seen wearing a gorgeous range of spring/
summer dresses. For those of us who weren’t quite fortunate enough to attend
the show (let alone afford the designer pieces!), it’s still easy to find high street
alternatives for a much more affordable price – shop Oasis dresses for on-trend,
high-quality summer staples.

The Oasis Lantern Colour Block Dress is reminiscent of classic Chanel style, with
a cute block colour stripe at the top and bottom, and lovely on-trend pastel colours
– making it perfect for a summer stroll in the park. Alternatively, for a sophisticated
evening number, the Rosette Halter Dress is a chic LBD that would make a great
addition to any wardrobe.

The rosette-style flower on one side of the halter adds a quirky and stylish
embellishment, and the dress is not dissimilar to Giorgio Armani’s one-shouldered
little black dress, shown at the Couture Fashion Week. Giorgio chose to team his
couture LBD with a dramatic black fascinator – a brilliant idea to bring the outfit
together, and a style that’s easy to replicate on a high street budget.

So, whilst there may still be a definite winter chill in the air, it’s never too early to start
planning your spring/summer wardrobe – for on-trend style inspiration, take a look at
the collection of Oasis dresses available online at Very.co.uk.
