Buyamba Sandals

outfit details: shirt + skirt + hemp bracelets c/o earthbound trading co. // shoes c/o buyamba // earrings - roots & feathers // turquoise necklace & bracelet - soulmakes

This outfit post has been a long time coming... I shot these back in March!  I thought I was going to be sharing this in early April, but the collaboration took a different path, so I am just now sharing it.  I was very excited to be invited as an Earthbound Trading blogger b/c it was my first collaboration where I actually got to go to the store to pick out items instead of just online!  James and I made a little date out of it.  It was fun!  I picked out this pretty skirt and tshirt.  I love the way these skirts move and how versatile they are.  The print on this was just called my name...

You may remember my first Buyamba post a few months back...  I just love what this company stands for.  Go read all about them on their site here.  And check back this fall b/c they have some amazing things coming you won't want to miss, I promise!

On a side note, I'm so so so in love with the wall hanging in the background of these photos that I got from my friend marissa (Moondaughter).  It is just so perfect.  And the rocks on my windowseal were gifts from my brother... my favorite kind of gift.  He always finds me the raddest things...

First of all, I want to talk about these sandals, b/c they are so very special.  I was contacted by Buyamba about their footwear and after reading a bit about them, I fell in love instantly.  Beyond just being beautiful footwear, there is a huge mission and purpose behind them.  They have partnered with displaced women from Uganda to create these beautiful beads for their shoes.  So far this has given over 200 women fair wage jobs, giving them a better opportunity to provide for their families after the effects of war.  The beads are all made from scraps of magazines and trash, and are processed through a lead free & water based process, which makes them also environmentally friendly.  Also, a percentage of all sales of their products are also given back to the community for the children to further educate them and provide nutritional needs.  I would say these little colorful beads are doing alot of good!!! 

Their line is brand new and they just launched their spring line.  And I cannot wait for their fall line.  It will be full of amazingly yummy boots... You can read more about their mission here.

On a side note, this outfit makes me to want to go to the beach and pick up seashells so bad!  I really hope we get to have one little getaway to the beach this summer.  I could really use it.  The past two weeks have been a bit crazy and rough, but I do see the light at the end of the tunnel!  Its all good stuff, just keeping me so busy I forget to breath.
