as their mission statement states : Founder Mary Jane Marcasiano uses her fashion design and non-profit experience to create unique, handmade products that connect cultures and support women’s and children’s charities in Brazil , Africa and Haiti. In 2007 Marcasiano formed MADE WITH LOVE a non-profit global initative dedicated to raising funds and awareness for NGOs aiding women and children in need through the production and sale of fair trade indigenous products.

testing? testing? check, check?

checkerrrd. also know as plaid. yes this was a very hot trend for the fall. heres how to wear it for the winter.

1) stick to the dull colors. depresssing? i know, but bright red checkers really hurt my eyes in the middle of winter. see the example below, i really like how pleasantly dull this outfit is, its peaceful, which i like. 

annd one for the boys, p.s. this is really attractive, please go buy this outfit. love -all girls across the world.

2) acessorize with plaid, your entire outfit doesnt have to be made up of plaid.

this scarf is 39.95 at hollister, and can be put over really any solid muted color, like black, grey, muted red, muted blue or a soft yellow.

shoes are a perfect way to add a pop to your outfit, this shoe is only 19.99 and its at Charlotte Russe..

3) dont over do it, an entire plaid outfit is just appalling. So dont even think about going for it.

i hope you got some good tips, if you have a plaid outfit you love, comment on this, i want to see it!!
