Lemlem Love





Lately I'm loving J.Crew's "in good company" partnerships. Some are classics reinterpreted like these gold Sperrys, and others are brands like Lemlem that I'm all too happy to be introduced to. When I spotted the dress on the cover of the June catalogue, I immediately flipped through to get more info. Turns out it's part of J.Crew's partnership with Lemlem, a phenomenal brand founded by supermodel and Goodwill Ambassador, Liya Kebede. Liya founded Lemlem (which means "to bloom" in Ahmaric) as a way to help Ethiopian women escape poverty and to preserve the tradition of weaving. I'm all for shopping for a good cause, especially when the products are this gorgeous!

Hope you all had a GREAT weekend! Mine was spent organizing/decorating the new condo, dealing with a flat tire (how did I get 3 nails in it?!), lounging by the pool and grilling.

P.S A big thank you as always for your sweet comments, they really do make my day!
