Global Girlfriend Review

Monday, September 27, 2010

Global Girlfriend was created by Stacey Edgar in 2003 to help women worldwide gain economic security while providing you unique products and a simple way to help women in need. Their fair-trade boutique offers a line of trend-setting, women-made, fair-trade products including stylish apparel, accessories and gifts with one purpose - helping women in need help themselves.

They believe passionately that economic opportunity for women holds the promise for real change in the world; because when women have an income, they reinvest in themselves and in their children's health, education and nutrition, building stronger families and communities over time. Many women try desperately to make a living selling their artisan-quality goods but find that they have little access to market opportunities.

Through fair-trade practices, Global Girlfriend brings the work of these disadvantaged groups directly to you. Global Girlfriend believes in forming long-term partnerships that provide women a fair living wage with equal employment opportunities, healthy and safe working conditions, technical assistance and development strategies to foster prosperity and reduce poverty.



The Good Karma Block Print Dress in Red ($50) is a romantic, playful, and flirty dress that encapsulates the beauty of a strong and confident woman that is comfortable in her own skin. Handmade in India, this Midwest inspired dress features elastic smocking at the v-neck that will flatter every bust size, while the empire-smocked waistline and bottom ruffle give a relaxed fit that makes you look and feel beautiful. The Good Karma Block Print Dress is available in three crowd-pleasing colors: Purple, Red, and Turquoise.

Each dress is hand-crafted by a fair trade women's cooperative that is democratically structured, providing benefits to women such as childcare, annual medical check-ups, overtime pay -- even retirement plans. Every link in the production chain is completely managed by the women, and many use their involvement in the co-op as a springboard to becoming socially and politically active in their larger community.

Created to help women worldwide gain economic security for themselves and their families by earning fair wages for their handiwork, Global Girlfriend sources women-made, fair-trade imported, eco-friendly products. By supporting long-term partnerships with the artisans, it fosters equal employment opportunities, healthy and safe working conditions, technical assistance, and development strategies to help reduce poverty, one community at a time. Become a "Global Girlfriend" and help build a brighter future for girlfriends around the globe!

Autrepeau Review

Tuesday, September 21, 2010





Autrepeau means other skin, but it is not shapewear in the least. It is a line of undershirts, camisoles, and pant liners that women can wear everyday for a luxurious layer of comfort. It helps reduce dry cleaning costs and will help prolong the life of your clothes. Long sleeve products are also available to wear under itchy sweaters in the colder months.

25% off at Autrepeau with coupon code: FASHION10

I received the Lace Scoopneck Cap Sleeve in Black ($42), which is great to wear underneath suit jackets, blouses, and short sleeve sweaters. This undershirt is so comfortable that I forget that I'm wearing it at times. I love how it protects the skin from stiffness, itchiness, and clinginess from clothing. It is made with lightweight, stretchy, form-fitting signature fabric: 77% nylon, 23% spandex. Long in length, stays tucked in!

I received the Molly Mermaid Tote Bag ($38), Molly Mermaid Coin Purse ($12), and the Molly Mermaid Zip Wallet ($19) from their Molly Mermaid Collection at Fluff. The designer is a creative genius.

Her Molly Mermaid Collection features a beautifully eccentric retro mermaid design and the material consist of vegan friendly faux leather. The Molly Mermaid Tote Bag that I received is much more roomier than I anticipated. The eye-catching design makes it stand out even more.

Moving Comfort Review

Please allow me to introduce you to your new workout partner, Moving Comfort. Moving Comfort is a partner like no other. Moving Comfort will make you feel and look great while building your confidence and enhancing your workout routine.

Moving Comfort established in 1977 with the first women’s running short. They design and deliver fitness apparel and sports bras that support and inspire women to get fit, be healthy and achieve their own unique personal best. Moving Comfort has been recognized as the leaders in sports bra development, designing the most technically advanced sports bras on the market to fit A to E cup women.



I wasn't fond of workout bras in the past, but I realized that they do serve a purpose when working out. The few that I've worn in the past didn't give me the support that I needed. Therefore, you can see why I was skeptical about Moving Comfort.

I chose the Alexis in Black ($34) for my review. This is Moving Comfort's most popular A/B style. It offers offers high-impact, optimum contour for shape, seamless interior molded cups, maximum-contour shape cups, front and back Powermesh zones, and back adjustable straps. The style is simple, but it gives me the support that I need. I wouldn't mind having it in the other colors that is available on their website, Periwinkle and White. I will note that their workout bras run smaller. Therefore, it is recommended that you move up a cup size to ensure an impeccable fit.
