Our world is changing.  I spent the past week listening, learning, researching and absorbing as much information as I could.  It was eye opening and emotional.  The great thing about education and listening is that it’s a life-long journey.  It never stops.  While I will continue to communicate here and on social through my love language, fashion, please know that civil rights, equality for ALL, and kindness have been and will continue to be of utmost importance to me.  My view of the future remains bright.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the stories we tell.  Do your clothes tell a story?  Mine certainly do.  As a collector, the inspiration for a piece is so fascinating to me.  Everything in my closet has a backstory; a visceral memory.  In a way, it’s like a tangible diary.  As Bill Cunningham said, “Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of everyday life.”

Here are some new stories I’ve discovered.  They each have their own unique message and super stylish products.

Recent Discoveries

I recently discovered this brand and am in love with their commitment to sustainability.  Created by a team of scientists, technologists and designers, they use bio-based, recycled fibers and natural botanical dyes to make their clothing.

The meaning of their name is a combo of “Pan” (all-inclusive, especially in relation to the whole of a continent, racial group or religion
) and “Gaia” (Mother Earth).

I just ordered this cropped t-shirt and this basic t-shirt in orchid purple, flamingo pink and jade green.  They are launching an ocean blue collection of tees, shorts and hoodies that drops tomorrow at 10am PT.

This ceramics company has a minimalist and modern aesthetic that I adore.  A friend gifted me this candle in Daybreak and I loved it so much, I burned through it in less than a month.  Once you use the candle, the ceramic pot can be used as a flower vase, coffee mug, pencil holder, you name it!  I just ordered Midnight for a smokey scent reminiscent to summer bonfires.

How fun are these nail cheat sheets?  The protection eyes sold me, but the geometric shapes and leopard print spots are so fun too.  I will definitely be rocking these the minute they arrive!

If you missed the launch day of Target’s new designer collaboration, there is still time to snag some amazing summer dresses from 3 fabulous designers.  I bought this cotton dress in white (I own the main line version in black) and love the neon color-blocking of this slip dress.  Check out this puff sleeve tiered dress for something that can easily be dressed up or down.
