Fashion

Aliya Wanek // Handmade clothing from the SF Bay Area, the brand focuses on creating comfortable and stylish clothing that’s both ethical and sustainable.

Fanm Mon // Founded by a wife & husband team whom are American, but based overseas. These beautiful traditional-type pieces are wearable and modern.

Lemlem // This artisan-driven collection is handmade in Africa and filled with beautiful, airy pieces that are perfect for summer and warmer climates. I’ve always had a love for this brand.

Mint Swim // Swimwear created with all shapes in mind, perfect for a variety of body types now that summer is here! All swimwear is made in the USA.

Proclaim // The definition of the shade ‘nude’ is huge! So that’s why Proclaim, an LA-based line, creates an inclusive line of nude lingerie, made from Earth-conscious fabrics.

The Tiny Tassel // Handmade jewelry and accessories out of Charleston. Such happy pieces that are perfect for you or as a gift!

Rochelle Porter Design // This Atlanta-based brand offers beautiful textiles made from the founder’s artwork. I have my eye on some of the activewear pieces, so colorful and fun!

Salone Monet // Nude is a different shade for every woman, so that’s why Salone Monet carries 6 different skin flattering shades in their shoe styles, all made in Italy.

Beauty

Beneath Your Mask // Reading the founder Dana’s, full story is a must here. After being diagnosed with a rare form of Lupus, almost losing her life and coming back from it all, Dana created Beneath Your Mask, a clean beauty line with safe, non-toxic products. Read some about my clean beauty journey here.

Glory Skincare // Personalized skincare for every hue and shade! Another clean beauty line that I’ll definitely be looking in to more.

Mented Cosmetics // Every woman should be able to find a shade for their skin tone, that’s what Mented Cosmetics strives to do for their customers. Lipsticks, eyeshadow palettes and blushes all with pigments to match skin tones.

Talula Skincare // All natural skincare, free of non-toxic ingredients for those who suffer from dry skin or eczema.

Unsun // Clean and non-toxic sunscreen that works for a variety of skin shades!

Uoma Beauty // Cruelty-free makeup that offers something for everyone! One awesome thing about the brand is they offer 51 different shades of foundation for a variety of skin tones.
