Sustainable Style: H&M
Every week we feature a sustainable brand on our blog. This week's featured brand is H&M.
Did you know that H&M is one of the world's largest buyers of organic cotton? Pretty impressive for a fast fashion retailer. It's not all good news however since organic cotton only accounts for about 13% of their total garment production.
Why I Love Traveling Alone
An article in the Huffington Post posted about a month ago titled 'Yes I'm Pretty and I'm Travelling Alone' seems to have ruffled the feathers of a lot of their readers. Aside from the fact that the article's sole purpose was to be click bait (which worked of course), the premise didn't make any sense to me, an ardent and almost exclusively solo traveler.
My Style: Bad to the Bone
With summer almost coming to a close, I decided it was time to give this dress a whirl. Even though it was love at first sight when I bought it over a year ago, I hadn't managed to wear it yet but better late than never. The low neckline is a perfect canvas for this triple strand necklace.
Sustainable Style: Heucy
Every week we feature a sustainable brand on our blog. This week's featured brand is Heucy.
When I'm running late and don't have a lot of time to get ready, the last thing I want to do is try to put together an outfit that involves multiple pieces.
The One Fashion Rule You Need to Follow
Not a day goes by without an article about the latest trend in fashion whether it's the current 'it' bag, jeans, hairstyle, nail color and the list goes on. Even though we all know that 'latest' trends are trotted out season after season to get us to buy more clothes, we still fall for it every time for fear of being 'out of style'.
My Style: Nairobi Purple
I love the color purple. They say it's the color of royalty and with good reason. It's rich but not in your face bright bright, understated enough to be sophisticated. I love how the Nairobi Purple Necklace and Earrings look with the jeans. It's a great way of making a casual outfit look more polished.
Sustainable Style: Zady
Every week we feature a sustainable brand on our blog. This week's featured brand is Zady.
What makes Zady unique from the other sustainable brands we've featured on our blog is that not only do they sell items they produce themselves, they also sell items manufactured by other brands like Soko and Steven Alan.
10 Things About Fashion that Piss Me The **** Off
I know I'm not alone when I tell you that I sometimes get frustrated with the things we have to put up with to get dressed everyday. I know, I know, these are first world problems, but since I currently live in the first world then I guess I'm entitled to vent right?
My Style: Nairobi Multi-color
Some might say that this outfit is over the top but for me it's the perfect expression of how I feel, exuberant. I used to be one of those people that was deathly afraid of color with a wardrobe strictly limited to varying drab shades of black, grey and brown-lots and lots of brown.
Sustainable Style: Woodzee
Every week we feature a sustainable brand on our blog. This week's featured brand is Woodzee.
I first heard about wood sunglasses a couple of years ago when I was surfing the internet. I remember thinking that it was a really cool idea and of course wish I had thought of it first.
How To: 7 Easy Ways to Become Fashionably Sustainable
Loving fashion and improving your sustainability score don't have to be mutually exclusive. Note that I said 'improving' because there is no such thing as perfection when it comes to sustainability or anything else for that matter.
My Style: Ankara Print and Lapis Lazuli
Growing up, I always used to associate Ankara print fabric with old people because that's who I would see wearing it. It wasn't until I came to US for college that I realized what I had been missing. The vibrant colors and bold designs are the perfect representation of everything that I love about Africa plus they match my style sensibility. I paired the jacket with with the Dalasini Kabul Lapis Lazuli Necklace and some J.Crew skinnies.
