Halloween is my favorite holiday. To share my love of the shadow, I made an oldskool "mixtape style" playlist for you.
News
What I love about it is that everyone is thinking about the Earth and how we can do better to protect the only livable planet we have. What I hate about Earth Day, is that a lot of the messaging is designed to make individuals feel guilty about systemic problems while governments and big corporations get to pretend (for a day) they really care about the planet.

Fall is prime sweater weather in Seattle. The grey skies, steady rain and crisp air lend themselves to a dreary yet dreamy mood. I recently got outside with Karen of Astor + Orion to capture the magic at Volunteer Park. Each look features statement sweaters from Rue Saint Paul, a Brooklyn-based sustainable collective, and jewelry from Astor + Orion. Swoon!
Remake just published an article about why so many jewelry brands aren't hitting the mark on sustainability and ethics. Featuring Astor + Orion founder, Karen Hartman it discusses how she was inspired to rethink how jewelry could be designed and manufactured in a more ethical way.
Here's a link to my favorite Spotify playlist. I have super eclectic taste in music but everything on in this list makes me feel happy. I hope if you are in need of a pick me up that this will do the trick.
Astor + Orion will be vending at Unique Markets LA August 28th-29th

In case you didn't notice, April is Earth Month and it's the time of year where you see a lot of campaigns about ways you can protect the earth and start living more sustainably. This year, I decided to get active with the Eco-Life Challenge because I love the idea of teaming up with my friends and customers to start taking direct action toward living more sustainably.
Important news! Earth Month is right around the corner and I want to talk to you about what we are doing to celebrate and how you can join in on the fun.
Talk of sustainability is definitely getting more attention and something I am happy that more companies and consumers are thinking about. Unfortunately, there is a lot of greenwashing going on and understanding sustainability claims is something that can be overwhelming for consumers to sort through. On the brand side, it’s also challenging thing because it's a complex topic. One way to show the entirety of how we support our claims as an ethical and sustainable fashion brand, is to walk you through the lifecycle of our jewelry.

Let us talk about the habits that drive our everyday actions. Some are helpful like exercise, meditation, and eating vegetables, but we cannot deny that there are some habits like mindless consumption of fashion that need to be changed or let go entirely.
