Eco-Friendly Friday: Willa Naturals


Eco-Friendly Friday: Willa Naturals

Back in February, we were introduced to a new skincare line available at select Target stores called Willa, and recently I had the chance to put a few of the products to the test. Founded by Christy Prunier and her daughter, Willa (who's only 11 - see image above), Willa is aimed to educate girls about the importance of a healthy skincare routine. The line consists of 17 products that reject the chemicals, petroleum residues and dyes used in many skincare brands. I figured you may have daughters, nieces or friends who could benefit from learning about this adorable new line, so read on to hear what I thought!

ZARA TRF June 2012 Lookbook

Zara released the June lookbook for their TRF line a little while ago, apologies for posting late. Is this summer flying by, or what?? A few pieces to stalk include a peplum tweed jacket, camo print shirt and cargo jacket, all great layering pieces you can wear once the weather cools down. If you don't love what's in this lookbook, don't worry - Zara delivers new lines twice a week to its stores.1 Another interesting fact about the fast-fashion pioneer: Zara can design, produce and deliver a new garment and put it on display in any of its worldwide locations in two weeks.2 Incredible. Shop ZARA TRF on eBay or on the Zara website, www.zara.com.
