Many thanks go out to our fabulous interns who made this event run so smoothly. Here’s Danea manning the booth:

Will be posting a video of our mini fashion show with interns and friends soon!

Holding up a wheelbarrow with one hand while trying to look modelesque is no easy task…

What a find. They have a wonderful nubby texture that works perfectly with jeans or slung around a casual dress. Jenny’s products are exactly what we look for – ethically produced and full of unique style. They’re available in vibrant brights or organic naturals.

We aren’t the only ones with a newfound love for Jenny Krauss belts – Julia Roberts will be wearing one in her upcoming movie Eat Pray Love!

When we saw this flooded field with picnic tables in the sun, we knew a photoshoot had to happen here.  So we grabbed our intern Laura, dressed her up in an outfit from our latest collections, and threw a tea party! The reflections were amazing…and we had fun flipping the pictures around to get some cool effects:

Lili, like all of our doggie buddies, is a mixed-breed pup rescued by an adoption center. If you’re thinking about adding a new four-legged family member, please consider adopting from an organization like Save a Dog. Or if you’re bored, just browse all the cute puppy pics online…

For the shoot we were going for a funky artsy vibe infused with a sense of sophistication…who doesn’t like a girl who’s multi-dimensional?

Meet the Model

Our model is Hannah Naomi, stylist, blogger, and designer of her own line of fair-trade and recycled jewelry (which you can buy on Nancy’s Gone Green). We love how she styled herself, with the perfect mix of vintage, modern, recycled, and organic pieces. We also can’t get enough of her bright poppin’ lipgloss. Nobody ever said organic had to be dull…
