You may know Martha McQuade from her Scarfshop goods, but if you’re not familiar with her gorgeous textiles you most definitely need to be. Martha recently released her first line of clothing that looks ideal for summer wear, perfectly light and airy for steamy summer temps and beyond.
Stone & Honey‘s S/S 2013 collection has been on my mind for awhile. I love how this new group of jewelry – Medius – has taken their last collection and kept some of my favorite elements, like the woven linen accents. All 14 pieces would be lovely paired together or matched up with jewelry you already own. My favorites are above, and I’m already looking forward to the fall/winter collection!

Son of a Sailor is a great shop, so I was pumped to see that they have a new line of goods under the name Son of a Sailor Supply! The new pieces focus on men’s accessories and other handmade keepsakes that are both beautiful and functional. Using traditional wood and leather goods with color and hand painted designs they show off the love of outdoor adventure and crafting that owners William and Jessica love. (PS: There’s a line of eyewear in the works!)
I have what amounts to a MASSIVE girl crush on artist Alyson Fox that only deepened after meeting her in person and staying in her home this past April. Alyson is one of those people who is beautiful both inside and out, completely unassuming with an extraordinary talent that extends far beyond the art world. Her most recent collaboration is with & Other Stories features playful patterns and delightfully vibrant hues, the pieces meant to be paired together or with old favorites.
You know the drill. You’re on Pinterest, you click through to something you want to add to your wardrobe, and it’s an image with no link. Or you’ve spotted a piece that’s waaay out of your price range and you’d like to find a more affordable version. Or maybe you just don’t have any idea what to wear with that cute summer skirt you picked up last weekend (ahem). It can be a long list of reasons why you can’t seem to locate the fashion you’re looking for, and until I discovered the hunt I was off trolling Google images just like the rest of you. BUT NO MORE, because now there’s The Hunt.
The premise is simple, The Hunt‘s community helps each other find the items they’re after. To start off sign up for an account in one easy step, then post a photo with some details about what you’re looking for. Congratulations, you’ve just created your first Hunt! Now the community hops to work either finding the piece you’re looking for, finding a more price conscious version, or even giving you solutions on what to pair a troublesome piece with. Brilliant, right??
I picked up this easy and comfortable skirt on a whim while shopping last weekend. I thought it would be perfect to pull on over my bathing suit or for a casual day out and about. But I have no clue what to pair it with besides a white t-shirt! That’s where The Hunt comes in and offers suggestions. I can already tell this is going to be a new obsession.
Suggestions started rolling in within minutes! And when you find someone with a fashion sense that you trust you can follow them to stay connected. Can you imagine all your friends joining and being able to get one another’s help and opinions at the same time? You should probably all sign up for The Hunt immediately.
This post is sponsored by The Hunt, however all words and opinions are my own.

Rachel Gant manages to combine three of my favorite things in her ever-evolving jewelry collection. Vintage materials, minimalistic aesthetics, and architectural details. Pieces come and go as Gant collects materials from estate sales and collectors the world over, so if you lay eyes on something you love snatch it up before it’s gone for good. (No pressure.)
S.W. Basics was founded on the idea that fewer ingredients equals gentler skincare. Makes sense to me, how about you? Everything is made once a week in small batches using locally sustainable ingredients that are both whole and highly potent, then packaged up in glass bottles. In fact, each product has five ingredients or less. And after receiving mine I realized they’re all safe enough to eat if you wanted to go there, they truly are all-natural products. Right now next to my sink: organic lip balm, exfoliant, body scrub, and makeup remover.
