Fair Trade Fashion: Amu Necklace

The Amu Necklace.  The Amu was just released in the Spring/Summer line from Threads Worldwide and as soon as I laid my eyes on this piece during the sneak preview, I was jaw on the ground swooning.  Immediately, I knew it needed to be in my jewelry collection.  A cobalt arrowhead agate is set in 18 karat gold.  On one side of the chain, 3 round blue stones lay, creating a trendy asymmetric look.  Each agate stone is unique, so some will be more blue tone while others show more white throughout.

On top of the Amu being a gorgeous one-of-a-kind piece, it also does good for the world.  Handcrafted by Artisan Partners in Asia, who are survivors of the sex trade, they are gaining a safe work environment, a sense of self worth, access to education and counseling, and a chance to heal by learning how to make this jewelry.  This necklace is the ultimate boho-chic addition to your wardrobe, easily transferring from day to night looks.

With espadrilles being one of the "it-shoes" of the 2015 summer season, it's not too late to dive in to the style.  This particular pair, I'm really loving.  Flatform base, contrast colorblocking, and quilting details combine making these a stylish and comfortable flat.

Iconic and classic, espadrilles have proved to be a big trend for 2015.  These Sam Edelman espadrilles easily add height with the platform and wedge heel, making them the perfect day-to-night summer sandal:  Sam Edelman 'Harmony' Espadrille Wedge
