H&M Conscious



As IF we all even needed a reason to shop at H&M, our beloved Swedish fashion retail chain has recently partnered up with three major global non-profit organizations with donations of $27 million to support global development issues in the areas of clean water, education and strengthening women. Per their website:

"The H&M Conscious Foundation is an independent non-profit global foundation initiated by H&M. The mission of the Foundation is to reach beyond H&M´s value chain and contribute to positive long-term change for people and communities."

Now we can shop for a cause, guilt free! I feel a lot better about my impulse buying habits now. 

What I have my eyes on: this parka jacket will be perfect for spring, and these heels are the perfect height for walking around on a night out, or even these leopard ones, my goodness! Also this cardigan for $12.50- a no brainer.

Spotted {@} The Brooklyn Flea


So one of my favorite flea markets ever (besides the Eastern Flea Market in D.C.) is the Brooklyn Flea, where I like to stock up on lovely one-of-a-kind accessories from time to time. That trek to New York isn't always feasibly though, so when I heard Brooklyn Flea would be hosting a market in Philly every sunday this summer I was stoked! I already had my Nikon on me yesterday from doing baby dedication photography at my church and was eager to keep snapping with my rented 85 mm lens (which I love by the way). The flea market had a nice vibe, a little more chill than the Brooklyn one. There were quite a few vintage clothing, jewelry and furniture resellers there. I also met a few awesome people I definitely plan on keeping in touch with! 
The "steez" got me with these too. Confident, casual, stylish. Original. I had to see what they were up to. The bearded man is Hamid Holloman and he's a multi-talented renaissance man of sorts, a visual artist in every sense of the word-painting, interior layouts, outdoor advertising, you name it. He also sells amazing one-of-a-kind custom and vintage pieces. There was just a natural coolness about him. For more about Hamid check out his website {here} and instagram @Hamid_Holloman
Then I ran into the two ladies below, talk about personal style! Come to find out they're also bloggers! Jody, on the left, runs a great fashion blog entitled Red Bag Report (I looove her outfit posts!) and Aya, on the right blogs at I Don't Do Clubs for things to do outside of the club scene in Philadelphia, which is right up my alley!

How cool is he? Love how the stripped shirt looks with the tats.
