HAPPY HALLOWEEN!







I so wish they had these candies when Michaela was little as a good mother I use to eat all her candy : ) and having organic, vegan and gluten free candy would have been amazing! I found all this yummy candy at the Natural Candy Store they have everything your sweet tooth can imagine! So this halloween treat kids to something thats sweet for them and sweet for the environment too!

Green Note: When you send you kids trick or treating send them with a reusable tote bag or an old pillow case, I actually did that as a kid and passed the tradition on to Michaela cuz who does't love luggin' home a sack of candies!

Frugal Fashionista Friday!


As you may know I'm an avid surfer of pinterest for inspiration. My latest inspirational find was the perfect red coat. So with a determined stride I set off to Humana to hunt one down. The first location by Alexanderplatz yielded no results but the one closest to our house (which is the best by far) had exactly what I was looking for. A red oversized trench style wool coat, it was perfect and the price was the cherry on top 9euros!!!!!  AH-MAZING!

Through Etsy I met super sweet blogger Emily who has the cute and quirky blog hi my name is Pauline Fanny  I love her Working for the Weekend posts, its a serious throwback to movies of yesteryear. I had the pleasure of being featured on her bedazzled post, which is about featuring a vintage piece you love. I chose my horsey sweater I found way up in Canadialand for $30, please check it out when you have the chance : )

Green Seams Thursday....Fit for a Queen!


Beulah London






A favorite of Kate Middleton, Beulah is a chic ethical fashion line founded by two besties Natasha Rufus and Lavinia Brennan. Both had a life changing experience while working in Atulya an after care home in the Deli slums. After witnessing the harrowing effects of human trafficking and the sex trade the two put their heads together and came up with the amazing line Beulah which is symbolic of their philosophy "representing the journey of each women out of darkness and despair, into a life of hope and restoration." Through their efforts they help provide a sustainable livelihood to those that have come out of sex trafficking and every garment purchased comes with the Beulah tote which has been produced by the victims of trafficking in India.

Green has never looked better! #inspiration
