DIY Fall Garland

It may not be holiday season, but there’s no reason we can’t celebrate fall season by decorating our homes with garland. Today we’re talking about making garland from an autumn staple: pinecones. This is a really simple DIY that is best done sitting around a fire (whether outdoors or in), laughing with loved ones. Maybe you can even start it off by taking a walk with friends, collecting pinecones and any other bits of nature that have fallen to the ground this season. Read More

Helping The Environment — With Shoes!

We have a new pair of sneakers on our site that we can’t wait to share with you: the Cochise Jogger. We’re not just excited about how adorable they are – we’re really excited about the story behind them.  These shoes are created by a brand called The People’s Movement (MOVMT), that gathers discarded plastic bags from the beaches of California and Bali, and incorporates them into its designs and packaging! Made with natural, organic, and up-cycled materials, these shoes help spread the word that we need to protect our environment. When fashion is combined with helping our planet, we couldn’t be happier! Today we have an interview with Co-founder and Creative Director Mark Wystrach to shed a little more light on this awesome cause. Read More
