How I'm saving my sweaters with Lilly Brush

It's that time of year when you couldn't care less about a sweater.  But before you put all your sweaters in that drawer far far away, treat them to a Lilly Brush. This portable little wand removes those annoying little pills from natural fabrics like wool, cotton, cashmere, hemp, angora, and my personal favorite, alpaca. Side note: Alpacas are absolutely adorable in person.

OOTD: Celebrating a new view

Historically, I haven't been one for many style photos featuring yours truly. 

That's partly becausewhen I've had nice scenery, I haven't had someone 

to be my photog. Or vice versa. Buuut, since my office has moved into fancy pants new digs, I'm hoping to take advantage of all the spiffy nooks and crannies the new building has to offer. First up is the hot view from one of many terraces.

What I'm Wearing:

Dress - Old Navy

Boots - Matiko

Scarf - via Annie Sez

Ring - I call it my "party ring"

On My Wrist (left to right) - Brazillian wish bracelet, Alex an Ani charm bangle

J.crew sunflower bracelet, jewelmint bangle

Fashion Loves Animals shows Vegan is beautiful

Fashion and animals are two of my loves, so I was in cute heaven while attending 

the Fashion Loves Animals Fashion Show and Party in NYC, benefiting Farm Sanctuary.

Farm Sanctuary is North America's largest and most effective farm animal

rescue and protection organization and on this night, they honored Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart 

for her pioneering work creating compassionate fashion. Hilgart is the Founder, CEO, and 

Creative Director of Vaute Couture, a vegan fashion house developing apparel that is
high in ethics, style, and function.
