Fair Trade Fashion: Pankha Necklace

The Pankha Necklace is a Threads Worldwide exclusive handmade by our artisan partners in India.  Not only is it the perfect statement piece for fall, but every sale from the Pankha empowers the artisans to advance socially and economically, allowing them to send their children to schools rather than beg on the streets.

Back in June, the Threads Worldwide conference took place in Denver, CO.  The Fair Trade Partners that were there were able to have the first look at (and model!) the fall pieces.  Once the BIG REVEAL came, I immediately had my hands on the Pankha Necklace.  The fan-fringe detailing is huge right now and the gray-blue thread flawlessly falls into the neutral trend.  Bottom line, this necklace is a modern and fun must-have for fall-winter.

I'm totally crushing on the army print trend at the moment.  The Pankha favors greens like no other.  I paired the Pankha with another Threads Exclusive piece in this set, the Mangal Bracelet.  The Mangal is handmade in Guatemala, and let me tell you, this thing is gor-geous.

The perfect transitional outfit, a sundress and booties.  This look is featuring the Toluca Earrings.  Handmade by artisan partners in Mexico, the Toluca Earrings feature gold-toned brass pyramids on sterling-silver posts and are perfect for everyday wear.

Black booties that are anything but basic.  Being a huge fan of black and gold together, and little details such as the cutout heel, these booties are a MUST on my fall fashion wishlist.

Neutral with the right amount of fringe makes this bootie a perfect transitional wardrobe staple.  Show them off with a flowy knee-length dress in summer or cuffed jeans and a sweater in fall.  Currently part of Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale (for only $110), I'm seriously resisting the urge to buy a pair in all 4 colors.

Concert Style

I love, love music and have high hopes of attending Coachella within the next few years.  If I were going to Coachella this year, my wardrobe would appear something like these...but these outfits would be absolutely perfect for any concert or festival for that matter.
