give more

Thank you so much for all the love on yesterday's post, the first in the new "Conscious Consumerism" series. This will not necessarily be a regular series, but definitely a focus throughout the year.

One of the complaints I hear is that sometimes the items that I'm talking about (Toms shoes, 31Bits necklaces, etc.) have an "earthy" vibe, not polished or sophisticated. I would have to agree to that to some extent, but I also think that is what can make them so special. A worldly element. A conversation starter. Something different. (my high school dance team's motto WAS "Dare to be Different" & I still embrace it!)
{ What I Wore: J.Crew striped sequin top (similar 1 // 2 // 3) // Old Navy rockstar skinny jeans // ShoeMint loafers // boutique trench (save // splurge) // fashionABLE "Helen" scarf (borrowed) // Fringe & Lace Ugandan necklaces + bracelet (I will update you when these items are listed) }

I have to give another shout out to the wonderful ladies who helped make this photoshoot possible - Jordan Duncan, stylist // Zipporah Photography // Natalie Sawyer, Fringe & Lace // the fashionABLE team // Kate & the entire Nisolo team.

We had had this planned for weeks & 10 minutes before we started shooting it started snowing! We all stared at the fat, sloppy flakes in amazement, sure that we would only get 10 minutes or so before they stopped. But it turned into a freak snowstorm, lasting for hours & quickly covering the ground in beautiful white blankets. A tad cold, but the most magical backdrop & light! We were a first time team, but everyone worked so great together, numb fingers are not so much of a bother when you are having so much fun!

  11. love all the "Nashville" bits of this outfit! I think it's awesome that you're embracing many local, socially conscious brands. And I have to say, this stuff is actually really chic!

    If you took these pictures on Saturday...you're crazy. I tried and it was just so so cold, I was cold all day!!
