Tis the Season
No matter the holiday you celebrate, it is indeed the season of giving. I'm here today to tell you about a very special way that you can give this year.
We all know about the horrible effects that Hurricane Sandy left in her
wake for those on the East coast. Recently, I was contacted by
Touchstone Crystal Division of Swarovski. They launched a Holiday
Hurricane Rebound campaign to support their momprenuers.
They are working with over 250 independent entrepreneurs who were
affected by the storm. These women depend on their income, some solely
on this income. They have lost everything from power to their homes.
To quote Liz DiPaolo, the Managing Director Touchstone Crystal, a division of Swarovski:
“We
are incredibly proud of the work these women do. Overwhelmingly, this
is a business in which women support women, and have always done so. We
are initiating a program that connects women across the country to the
Touchstone Crystal independent entrepreneurs whose businesses have been
truly devastated, so that they can continue to earn income for
themselves and their families during this trying time.”
The jewelry is gorgeous and they use Swarovski Crystals. And the prices are quite decent. You can check out their selection here.
So this is basically a win win. You can give someone a gorgeous piece
of jewelry for the holidays and at the same time help small business
women in time of need.
The banner will be on my blog for the remainder of the holiday season at the bottom of my links for your convenience.

Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Love the mix of masculine military vest and very feminine pink skirt!

Serious bragging rights you've got there, Frannie! State Senator! Wow! Kudos to Conner!
Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.
