One of our partners is promoting Fair Trade and will be holding a spectacular event Saturday, October 15th, and we love to spread the good work that our partners do.

Compleat Gourmet & Gifts has been around for 27 years.  Joan and Barb most recently passed the ownership and baton to Connie Stevenson, who introduced  Rwanda baskets to sell in their stores.  Connie believes that we can all “Shop To Make A Difference” by supporting USA made and global fair trade products. We agree!

October is Fair Trade Month, and the store will hold  their Fair Trade Event Saturday, October 15th.  Connie will be introducing a wide array of products from around the world including our beautiful Zulugrass.

If you haven’t checked them out, Style Substance and Soul wrote a fabulous story on The Leakey Collection and the Amazing Women of Kenya back in August. We loved the way they told the stories  of  two Maasai women whose lives have been changed because of the work opportunities Katy & Philip have created.

Once again, these three best friends who have created an online gathering of women who strive to look good, feel good and do good have wrote a guest post on The Budget Fashionista on accessories that are good for your soul. Check it out!!

Each season, the Pantone Color Institute, the world-renowned authority on color, forecasts color trends that provide the key color palette for each season’s fashions. “Taking cues from the great masters, sepia tones of old Hollywood, Chinese opera, city scapes and countryside, designers are paying close attention to texture, contrast and color for fall 2011 – pairing menswear with feminine twists, warm prints with cool metals, incorporating both old and new influences, and creating an intriguing balance between colors.”

You are so lucky if you bought some of the Summer Color Trend Collectionbecause the summer’s colors offer a continuity - the pinky-red tone (Honeysuckle as Color of the Year), as well as the golden yellow, orange, lavender and silver cloud – and are still perfect to mix with these new fall shades.

The Fall Color Trend Collection mixes delightfully with  some strands from the Summer Trend Collection, so have fun mixing & matching. You can’t go wrong.

We are excited to announce that The Leakey Collection Amani piece was selected for a style feature Balanced Beauty in the August edition of Yoga Journal. Some our favorite musicians are featured as well…check it out to see who they are.

One of Katy’s favorite necklaces, “Amani” means strength in Swahili. Our Amani line earns its name from the bold colors in the combination of  Zulugrass, dyed with colorfast, low-impact dyes , TLC Porcelain, fired with lead free glazes and  in our “bush kiln”, and Zuluwood beads made from fallen acacia wood.

Each necklace is 28″ which allows you to wear it multiple ways.

We are releasing  great new colors for Fall and they can be found at the stores below.

In our color trend Style Series, we talked about  how the Pantone Color Institute, the world-renowned authority on color, forecasts color trends that provide the key color palette for each season’s fashions.  But did you know that colors can be symbolic?

Take, for example, the color blue, commonly associated with the sky and sea.  The cool tones of blue can symbolize trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, and truth. It is considered to be beneficial to the mind and body producing a calming effect.

Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility and has great healing power.

It is no surprise that shades of blue and green work in harmony. We have combined Turquoise Viper, Azure Sea Blue and Green and you can too in our Summer Trend Collection.

We think our review in Groovy Green Livin is… groovy. What do you think?
