Etsy Day!

I celebrated Etsy Day fashionably late tonight, clocking in at 12:11AM by buying these wicked sandals from zuzsi!

I'm so excited to get them, and wishing I could wear them tomorrow in the sweltering April heat (?!)

Don't forget to support small businesses and buy handmade whenever possible! Happy Etsy Day!

Quality not quantity. Here's a little *rant* I found on the benefits of investing in quality pieces instead of mass consumption...

"Maybe if we lived by a different, more sustainable mentality, this would be less of a problem! I'm by no means rich (23 yr old, making minumum wage, working part time), but really believe in INVESTING my money in clothing! Do you know that many of these stores ( I worked at Urban for years, I know this for a fact) make clothing with poor quality ON PURPOSE!!? It's called "disposable" fashion for a reason. So instead of taking a few $45 trips to forever21 a month, save that money, buy yourself a beautiful dress (yes, there are quality designers for under $200) that will last you years and years and years. Heck, the hemming might even stay in tack through the wash! :)

All I'm saying, is the mentality of things being "overpriced" because they are under $100 could be thrown out the window if you didnt have to purchase new clothing all the time because your $12.80 dress just came apart at the seams. Or, you know, buy vintage!"

Invest in quality and eco-friendly luxury and save 15% off all bamboo and silk scarf accessories until midnight tonight. Enter "EARTHDAY15" in the message to seller at checkout, and the difference will be refunded to your account. All dara dot designs bamboo scarf accessories are made with highest quality Oeko Tex Certified fabric.

Some technical difficulties with links while making the move from WP to OnSugar. It should all be sorted shortly. Don't mind the mess. xx D
