Sustainable Suds: Hand in Hand

I recently stumbled upon this fantastic soap company: Hand in Hand Soap. They are a socially and environmentally responsible company with an inspiring mission: to prevent illness for children that live in impoverished areas of the world. For every bar of soap you buy, Hand in Hand donates a bar of soap to a child. Their first soap donations were to orphanages in Haiti, but the company plans to make drops in Central America, South America, Africa and Southeast Asia. In addition to the “Buy a Bar, Give a Bar” concept, all of the soaps from Hand in Hand are environmentally friendly and fair trade certified. (50 square feet of rainforest is saved with every bar purchased!). Plus, how amazing is their packaging?! I know what I’ll be gifting this year! The soaps are now sold at Anthropologie, so pick up a bar and support this inspiring cause.

A little inspiration to kick off the week!

This & That: Watercolors

This beautiful hallway with watercolor-inspired wallpaper was recently featured in Lonny Magazine. I've become completely smitten with the look of this soft, dreamy pattern! What a brilliant way to dress up a hallway that may not receive as much attention as the other spaces in your home. With a few weeks left of the summer, it's also the perfect time to don a dress with a happy print, like this one by ECI New York.

Just as a follow up on the launch of Loeffler Randall's handbag collection...how cute is this video?!



Happy Weekend!

Katie Armour's Apartment

I saw these photos of Katie Armour's apartment and fell in love with this darling space. How perfect is the living room mixed with gingham and animal print with a hint of purple? Not to mention her lovely office space. Be sure to check out Katie's blog and Matchbook Magazine for more inspiration.

Falling for Tory Burch

I've been lusting over this images from Tory Burch's Fall 2012 Lookbook. The rich tones, tweedy fabrics and gorgeous coats have me counting down the days until the cooler weather is officially here! Let the fall shopping begin.

100 Years

In honor of what would be Julia Child's 100th birthday, I thought it was only right to share a few quotes by the extraordinary chef! She was truly an inspiring woman.
