Swoop Reads
I cheated a bit this week and have featured some reads... and some shopping. Okay. It is mostly shopping plus some drinking. What can I say? I am in a summer state of mind. And perhaps just sticking to what I know best. See below from some fun reads + links for your spare time.
Perhaps with the Swoop's help, you have caught a bit of a bug and want to find out more about the fashion industry. I just picked up Lucy Siegel's To Die for: Is Fashion Wearing out the World and this post has many more suggestions to make a nice night stand pile.
The world of ethical and sustainable fashion speaks a lot about items that are Made in America... This fascinating article from Fashionista looks at the evolution of the movement and ask the uncomfortable question-- is this all just a marketing scheme??
This isn't reading at all, so please excuse me for cheating, but I had to share this with you. Are you mulling over a high end purchase at the moment, perhaps like a pair of Stuart Weitzman Lowland Boots? Consider making your purchase on OLIVELA, which provides a portion of all proceeds to group of incredible organizations, like the Malala Fund.
'Tis the season of lots and lots of sales. And while this isn't reading AT ALL, it is an opportunity to waste time doing a lot of internet browsing. From the Nordstrom anniversary sale to Accompany's end of season sale, the time is right to score some great finds. May I suggest these stacking rings, or this Lem Lem Jumpsuit or even perhaps these Toms Sneakers or this lust worthy RMS Set.
Ya'll. I just might not enjoy reading this week. Or maybe the title of this series should be changed?! Anyway, I stumbled across a new vodka, Simple Vodka, that provides 20 meals to those in need for every bottle consumed. Feels properly inappropriate and a great excuse to have another Moscow Mule.... or vodka soda.... or jello shot.
