Fair Trade with Far and Wide Collective

The retail industry has seen many prominent brands promote “fair trade” goods. In recent years, popular clothing and accessory companies have begun marketing their own brands under a variation of the “fair trade” banner.

Dolce and Gabbana, Elton John and #boycottdolcegabbana

I still can’t believe the Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana made such an awful comment.  And yes, Elton John and all the other celebrities are correct criticizing.  Synthetic babies?  Really?  I realize that since English isn’t their first language, that there might have been some things lost in translation, but still, that’s how they feel.  […]

Seriously, People? Lilly Pulitzer Fans Upset at Target Collaboration

I couldn’t believe it when I read the piece on Lucky Magazine’s website.  This HAS to be a joke.  Of course, it could very well be (since it was seen on social media), but if it isn’t, then those women aren’t worthy of wearing Lilly.  The stereotypical demographic of Lilly Pulitzer wearers tends to be […]

Three of the 6 Day Artisans at OOAK Christmas 2014

Not every exhibitor at the One of a Kind Show is there for the entire run.  Many are, in fact, only there for part of the show and started their run this past Tuesday.  I returned to the OOAK Christmas Show for the second time this season to check a few of them out, including: […]

Miik, Grass-Fed Milk and Infused Oils at NWS Toronto

Last Friday, I had the opportunity to attend the Toronto edition of the National Women’s Show at the Metro Convention Centre, covering the event as one of their bloggers.
