Fair Trade Fashion: Mangal Bracelet

The Mangal Bracelet is the Threads Worldwide piece featured in this post and let me tell you, this thing is gor-geous.  The Mangal Bracelet is a Threads Exclusive and features 3-strands of multicolored beads with soft yellow tassels. The colors are PERFECT for fall, but the section that completely drew me in was the turquoise-green square beads in it. They seriously had me mesmerized.  This bracelet is also adjustable, so it'll fit wrists of all sizes! It's a great piece to layer with others or totally makes a stand-out statement on its own. 

Handmade in Guatemala, our Artisan Partners use techniques inspired by Mayan culture to create fascinating beaded jewelry.  With the income that they earn, they're able to invest in smokeless stoves, solar technology, organic farming, and water filtration to benefit their entire communities.

Mangal Bracelet 1

The Mangal is a great accent to a mustard yellow toned blouse, really highlighting the tassel detailing.  Throw on your favorite jeans, and a pair of booties and you're good to go for those still sorta warm, not really sure how to dress fall days.  Featured here with the Toluca Stud Earrings, which you can shop here:  Toluca Earrings - Allison Young, Threads Worldwide

Mangal Bracelet 2

Add a pop to a solid colored dress with the Mangal Bracelet.  Throw on a pair of flats, crossbody bag, Mulki Scarf, and you're all set for a day at a festival, whether it's a Craft Fair or Oktoberfest :)

{Weekend Cocktail:  Macklind Mule}

A new wine bar called Grapeseed recently opened in my neighborhood.  After patiently waiting and longing to visit since before they finished construction, I finally made it there over the weekend.  Grapeseed has a very friendly and cozy, rustic atmosphere.  Not only was the Macklind Mule a favorite, the seasonal sweet potato and carrot Sangria was delicious.  If you are in the St. Louis area and looking for a place to check out, go to Grapeseed.

{Herbaria Chocolate Peppermint Lip Balm}

Sticking with the local finds, I finally visited the Herbaria Soap shop this week.  They're located in St. Louis on The Hill, make over 60 varieties of natural soap, and the scents come from pure essential oils.  I found this lip balm at the store, and after debating between the this or Chai, went with the Chocolate Pepperment.  Best beauty buy in a while, I honestly can not get enough of it.

{New this week:  Copper teapot}
I'm one to find happiness in little things and my new copper teapot was no exception.  Pretty, shiny, and whistling, it made tea time even more enjoyable. (Please ignore the topknotted person pictured in said teapot)
