Fair Trade Wooden Bangles

I love a bold wooden accessory. Who doesn’t? And the latest fashion magazine (I forget which one!) I read told me that bangles were in this spring.

Lace Cardigan by Stewart + Brown

This fair trade linen lace cardigan is the perfect cover-up for a spring day! The subtlety ruffled hem and lace details make it romantic and winsome. Don’t you just want to put this one with a skirt and frolic through a meadow?

Because it hits so short, I’d wear an extra-long tank or tee underneath […]

Since I feel the same […]

Eyelet Skirt by Stewart + Brown

This fair-trade linen skirt by Stewart + Brown is a perfect addition to a spring wardrobe.

I’d prefer it in white (which is available), but couldn’t find a picture of it! This black–which is pretty cute itself– will have to do for your visual! I’d go with a bohemian look with this skirt–strappy sandals (preferably […]
