Style for a Cause




Okay - continuing with my amazing brands theme: I want to introduce y'all to Sevenly! I've been a fan of this brand for a long time now. They're an advocacy apparel and accessories company who support various non-profits through art. I figured no one can explain their mission better then the people who created it:

"Sevenly mobilizes charity-themed campaigns so that people like you can show that People Matter – as we together raise funding, awareness and followers for the world’s greatest causes. We commission ‘cause art’ from artists worldwide that celebrates the work of selected non-profits, sell products that give back, and promote stories of encouragement to people!"

$7 of every purchase goes directly towards the selected organization. So far, they have donated over $5 million dollars to non-profits and they aren't stopping there. I love wearing their shirts because they are always a conversation starter. What better way to raise awareness about a cause you care about! The first tee I styled from Sevenly is the "Dream Bigger" design. This tee supports One Simple Wish which supports foster children by granting a wish. As someone working in the public schools, I see foster children on a daily basis and it's a cause near and dear to my heart.





The second tee I styled was the "Abundant Life Henna Hand "design. This purchase supports the YMCA's in the US and worldwide. Which again, is something I whole-heartedly support. Again, as someone who works in the schools, I can say that I've seen what a huge impact community can make in a child's life. The YMCA often provides that for kids. And hey! I played volleyball at the YMCA back in my day too.

But Sevenly offers a multitude of causes to choose from each and every month, so find what speaks to you and give back while getting a cool tee in the process.

Happy Monday!








Hey friends! Why is it that the weekend always goes by so fast? I'm convinced that whoever decided the work week was going to be 5 out of the 7 days was crazy. I vote we change it to 4. But alas, I digress. I'm here to tell you about two amazing things your closet needs!

Everyone needs a comfy pair of go-to flats. Something that goes with everything and are easy to throw on and go. I wore my last pair of flats for 3 summers straight and finally wore the soles out. Needless to say, it was high time to get a new pair. So after some searching - I found my new best friends! This pair of gladiators from Hush Puppies are soooo comfy. The soles are made of memory foam which feel like you're walking on pillows and they have a handy little zipper in the back for easy on and offs. And I've always had a weak spot for the gladiator style - it's one of those timeless trends that you can wear with anything. Literally. No matter the outfit, I can grab these and know they'll look perfect.

Okay, enough shoe raving. I also wanted to tell y'all about one of my new favorite companies. Y'all know I love when I can find a product that gives back. The Starfish Project is an organization that supports women escaping human trafficking and exploitation in Asia. They provide holistic care by supplying vocational training, healthcare, shelter, counseling and education grants. Some of the women they support create incredible jewelry - like the choker I'm wearing in these photos. And each purchase goes to support their work in Asia. My necklace is equal to the cost of 2 weeks of counseling. So shop without guilt, because you know you're supporting an incredible cause.
