Fashion Favorites

  1. Find your new favorite accessory with @tothemarket’s 19th Amendment Anniversary Silk Scarf, a wearable celebration of the passage of the 19th Amendment for women’s voting rights in the U.S. The luxe silk scarf was ethically made in a female-owned and operated factory in India using TO THE MARKET’s sustainable manufacturing chain. So far, the making of these beautiful scarves has created over 100 hours of fair wage work for TO THE MARKET’s talented craftswomen. TO THE MARKET founder Jane Mosbacher Morris created the company to provide overseas workers - particularly women - with access to safe, dignified work. With a network of over 20 countries and a commitment to buying the change you want to see, TO THE MARKET is sharing economic opportunity, female empowerment, and a voice for sustainability with the world. Adding class to your closet this holiday season is the gift that keeps on giving with these scarves!
  1. There wasn’t an underwear brand made for the active woman to feel confident, sexy, and supported until @LDMA changed the game with their intimate collections and the challenge that ‘Life Deserves More Action’. LDMA is the world's best fitting underwear made for women that move. From work to workout, for busy weekends, and your everyday on-the-go, LDMA is designed in four styles, all made to fit seamlessly under your high or low-waisted bottoms and perform under pressure for every step of your active life. All are made with an ultra-soft, matte microfiber blend and feature an innovative seamless design with anti-digging stretch and custom Micro-Ribbing made to both sculpt, flatten and help you stay in place--giving you a smoothing look and a second skin feel. With a singular focus on the perfect female fit, LDMA is proving that the core elements of your everyday look can be anything but basic!
  1. Housewear meets outerwear with my new favorite piece from female-founded fashion company @wkndnation, whose clothing line blends the lines between comfort and style to bring the best of both worlds to your weekday look. This otherworldly coat is no exception, ready to keep you both warm and cozy, and cool with attitude. Lounge in it at home with your favorite tea, or take that robe out of the bath and into the club for a wild night out (it may turn as many heads as your dance moves). Between home, work, and social, each one of Wknd Nation's pieces is perfect for all the different parts of your life, and are sure to make you look (and feel) amazing! 
  1. Bring on the charm with these Volt Gemstone Earrings in Smokey Quartz from F+H Jewellery and add a little sultry to your styling essentials. Based in Byron Bay, Australia, and designed in small batches by founder Sharona Harris, @fordandharris jewelry balances glamour with a modern and minimal aesthetic to create strong styling pieces with androgynous appeal. F+H proudly utilizes ethical sourcing and lab-grown stones for its premium pieces, allowing both business and consumer to rock sustainability in style. 
  1. @rocketsofawesome has hacked the clothing game for parents and kids everywhere with their brand-new puffer jacket design. This plush fleece puffer comes with a handy zip-off hood, water-repellent outer shell, heat-trapping technology, and plush fleece pockets so your kids can stand out and stay toasty in chilly weather. This practical, playful and polished puffer comes in four versatile styles for boys and girls - good for school, weekend, and “just 10 more minutes pleeeease?” on the playground.
