  • Today is the Global Climate Strike. Thousands (or millions?) of students from all over the world are planning to walk out of school in protest to climate change. 16-year-old environmental activist, @gretathunberg has been the leader of this movement. 🙌 This serves as a reminder to all of us to get involved and protect this planet for our future generations. 🙏
  • This summer, we visited the Paris Flea Market. It has been on my list of things to do for years, and somehow we waited to do it while having a baby with us. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Anyhow, I was utterly amazed at all of the things that were there. It was both remarkable and overwhelming. ✨ All of these things had once belonged to someone, and now they were here, amongst millions of other things. The owners of said items no doubt long gone. ✨ I’ve thought a lot about my experience at the flea market, and how we live in such a consumer driven culture. But how do we make it stop? How do we tell culture, I don’t need all of the things you’re selling me. ✨ One small step I’ve taken, is to try and buy secondhand or used as often as possible. When I need a non-disposable, my first step is to try and find it used. It’s been amazing what I’ve been able to find! Just a few weeks ago, one of our neighbors was trying to get rid of all of her baby spoons, and it was just the time I needed some for Atlas. ✨ What are some things you have found used that surprised you?
  • A couple of years ago, I met a lovely friend who shared a love of dresses and a desire to empower women artisans. Fast forward to today, she and I are in the process of launching an ethical dress brand to support women artisans in India. ✨ These women are from a very rural area, and struggle to find stable income to provide for their families. Often, they work in the fields twice a year during the sowing and harvest seasons; however, struggle to find work throughout the rest of the year. They’ve been honing their sewing skills in order to earn a regular income which will allow them to send their children to school. ✨ The first picture is of one of the dresses we will be selling and the other is of the remarkable women who will be sewing. ✨ We are currently in research and testing mode, but would LOVE your support. Please follow us on IG and Facebook, and share this information. ✨ If you’re interested in ordering one of the dresses, please DM me for more details. Thank you so much for your support of this endeavor! 🙏
  • Happy birthday to my one-year-old! 🎉🎂 I was apprehensive about becoming a mom, but it has easily been my proudest accomplishment. It’s definitely not easy, but sometimes with the greatest sacrifice comes the greatest reward. I love you so much, Atlas. 🙏💕
  • I’ve really been into the fruit pattern trend this summer. 🍑🍋🍊🍒 And though I wanted to buy a gorgeous @carolineconstas dress, I couldn’t justify the cost per wear. So what I do when I like something, but am unsure if I’ll still like it next year? Two things. I try to find a style/pattern that is more timeless. I search for a secondhand or vintage option. Insert this skirt. I found this vintage linen blend skirt on @poshmark for $15, and it fits perfectly! It’s a win win all around.
  • What an adventure the past two months have been! Although it is bittersweet that our trip has come to an end, I’m ready to get back into a rhythm. I had plenty of time to think and write while we were gone - thanks to losing my phone - and look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks and months. In the meantime, if you have questions about traveling (with or without an infant) feel free to comment below.
  • Paris. I’ve visited this city more times than I can count, but nonetheless I’m always captivated by her beauty. And although Montmartre is overrun with tourists these days, it’s still one of my places to stay. 💕
  • I hope everyone had a fun 4th of July! We spent the day exploring Aveiro. A very quaint town known as the Venice of Portugal. I found this colorful two-piece set in a vintage store in Porto - $15! When I looked at the tag to see where it was from, it said “Provence Cote d’Azure.” How fitting!
