CHARITABLE . FASHIONABLE . COUTURE . PART DEUX

These bags, at a lower price point than the first bags I wrote about, serve the same exact purpose. They are handmade and the money you spend on the bag goes right back to helping the women who made them. :)

Saturday

CHARITABLE . FASHIONABLE . COUTURE

The Madera Weekender  is made in Nepal in South Asia. Every piece of these bags are handmade from vintage fabrics, so no two bags are alike!



Sophia Costas is a NY-based designer. Sophia Costas returns part of the company profits to a charity called Azahar located in Cambodia. Azahar is an international organization that promotes cross-cultural communication and non-violent conflict resolution through yoga and the arts.


The price may be a bit steep, but I think it is well worth it! You can't put a price on being gracious, the universe will reward your charitable acts even more graciously.















Wednesday

ACCESSORIES . COUTURE

I'm not big on accessories, I'll admit. I'm more interested in the bigger picture, and not so much the details. BUT I'm infatuated by jewelry by a designer named Venessa Arizaga.  They are so original, and a bit nostalgic - these pieces are like the modern day charm bracelet, with a major fashion update!

These one-of-a-kind necklaces and bracelets by are just the thing to take your outfit from a 10 to an 11! :)

BACK WITH MY NEW MAC!

HI! So, my Dell laptop died on me :( after much struggle, my Dell and I decided it was best to part ways. Luckily I was gifted a brand new MAC for your viewing pleasure. :)

My sweet nephews helped me break it in and test out some of the Photo Booth features.
