Autumn

I know, I know, it’s only August. But where I live the temps have been nice and cool lately, and I can’t help but start getting excited for Fall! Will it help my cliché status a little bit if I tell you I actually don’t like Pumpkin Spice Lattes that much? I’m more of a hazelnut cappuccino kind of girl. But as for changing leaves, bonfires, and cuddly sweatshirts … bring it on!

One of my favorite ways to shop is to take the items I love and can find easily accessible in the mall and search out sustainable, ethical fair trade alternatives. So before you start stocking up on all of your Autumn “essentials,” care to take a look at some fun, ethical, “Octobery” finds with me? Below are a few of my fave Fall items!

All of the items on the right are fair trade! Just as gorgeous (and affordable) as the ones on the left, right? Sometimes all it takes is a little digging! And I did the digging for you in this case :). Listed below are where each item is from, with links to the fair trade items:

Traditional Items:
1. Bath and Body Works
2. Gap
3. DSW
4. Columbia Activewear
5.Pottery Barn

Fair Trade Items:
1. Seven Hopes United
2. Noonday Collection
3. Teysha
4. Roozt
5. Seven Hopes United

Are you as ready for Fall as I am?

XO,

Casey

The two columns look a lot alike, right? Bright, relaxed and bohemian—which happen to be three of my favorite words when it comes to summer! Tommy Bahama embodies the spirit of sunny beach livin, but the price tag isn’t quite as sunny. So here I highlighted with pushpins our Seven Hopes items—ethically produced pieces that help out your wallet AND empower women and children in third-world countries!

Sometimes when you’re searching out fair trade products, what you find is more understated and simple. But not so with these beauties! And as each item is handmade, as opposed to mass produced, you get intricate detail and a beautiful uniqueness to every piece!

Click the links below to be transported to the Seven Hopes products above and to your own sunny fair trade paradise! :)
