Ethical sneakers by CARIUMA
Based out of Rio, Brasil, the sneaker brand CARIUMA carries shoes you can look good in AND feel good about wearing. I was gifted a beautiful pair of OCA sneakers by CARIUMA and I’ve been blown away by the quality. I chose the OCA because they are made out of canvas made with fair-trade cotton. CARIUMA takes every part of the sneaker-making process very seriously and is dedicated to minimizing their environmental impact, which means cotton harvested using the latest technology to efficiently care for the soil and conserve water. They also take great care of their farmers and pay them fair wages. Plus, no trees are harmed in the…
Ever Pretty Evening Gown
Hey guys! I’m back again with Ever Pretty and guess what? Today we’re talking gowns and glitter! Specifically, a burgundy and gold ombré number that has me feeling like an elegant wicked step mother who just came into a serious sum of money. For real though, this gown is stunning and I can’t believe the price point again. I could go to an art benefit in this or just mosey around Michelin restaurants in Monaco. Again, I just can’t say enough great things about Ever Pretty. If you’re looking to buy formalwear and you’re on a budget this is really the place to shop. You won’t find a better bargain…
Halloween Sweaters and T-shirts
Guys, it’s officially spooky season! We’re kicking off the best three months of the year and I’m bursting at the seams. Literally the only downside is that I love scary movies and Dave won’t watch them, so this is also the time of year I watch a lot of scary shit alone. God, I really need to make some friends. 😀 I tend to get really carried away in all things fall and Halloween, especially when it comes to shopping, and my favorite piece of apparel for this time of year is a sweater. I’ve been saving Halloween sweaters and t-shirts from all my favorite retailers for about a month…
Peach Picking at Fishkill Farms
Bucket List item # 1281 – fruit picking @ Fishkill Farms Fishkill, New York Once upon a time, on a summer day that was uncomfortably hot, Dave and I braved Fishkill Farms and tried to take in the splendor without complaining. Truly, we did have a wonderful time, despite our inability to get a respite from the sweltering heatwave. However, if I could have a do over (and I will because I’ll literally be there this weekend) I would say fuck peach picking and wait for fall and make a b line for the apples and pumpkins. I mean, the peaches are literally some of the best I’ve ever had,…
New York Renaissance Faire
Bucket List item #2998 – New York Renaissance Fair Tuxedo, New York What can I say? I love a good renaissance fair. I’m a firm believer that you can’t truly have a bad day at the ren fair. I mean, bad things can happen there just like anywhere else in the world, but you’re surrounded by so much good and joy that if you just breathe it in you’ll find happiness. I have a nasty habit of comparing renaissance festivals to the one in Larkspur, Colorado, which I worked at growing up and spent most of my life visiting every summer. Others can’t compare, but I think that’s more a…
