Hello divas!

I’m having a super busy week over here with my soon-to-be-Kindergartener off at “practice week” at school. More officially stated as “Jump Start”. It’s a wonderful program to help introduce these kids to the teachers and new environment in short doses before the big day actually comes. I, for one, am super grateful our school is taking the time to do this. BUT it has made for an unexpectedly crazy week. I guess this is just a taste of my new normal though 🙂

Anywho! That has left me little time to put together another style post for you today, but I didn’t want to leave you hanging so I thought I would theme the Top Three Tuesday for the Noonday trunk show. (Yes, it is STILL going on, BTW!!! You still have time to enter that GIVEAWAY, so hop to it ladies!!!) 🙂

I’m loving the new fall collection from Noonday Collection. It even has me kinda excited to make the transition into Fall. But for style purposes only, let’s not get carried away here! This girl lives for the sun and I am PRAYING for a super long summer.

Today I thought I would share with you my three favorite pieces:

About everyone I know who has seen the line in person has listed this Gatsby-inspired piece as one of their favorites of the Fall Collection. It is simple and yet somehow dramatic and elegant, wouldn’t you agree? It just seems like the perfect topping to any outfit.

SHOP: Pagoda Necklace

A piece like this would easily dress up a tshirt and jeans on a day when you have to run out of the house. But I also see it paired with a basic black dress if you are headed to a wedding or a holiday party. Such versatility!

I was a huge fan of the original feathered earrings, as were many of you! But the cobalt color of this pair is so stunning, I just couldn’t resist. Not to mention they add the perfect touch of bohemian flair to any outfit. Do you think they pop against my purple hair? I’m so digging these, ladies!

SHOP: Feathered Fringe Earrings

These earrings are made in India, a country where women are often denied the ability to work outside of the home. Noonday saw the creative potential these women had, yet didn’t feel worthy to design. Now they are given the opportunity to create beautiful pieces like this from within their own home, or in safe workshops.

Besides the obvious appeal of the graphic black and white pattern, this Ethiopian cotton scarf particularly speaks to me. Noonday partnered with an artisan group in Ethiopia that works closely with the non-profit company Woman At Risk. Women who were formally in prostitution are provided skills training, job placement, and a fair wage. These woman share that they feel hope for the first time in years.

SHOP: Amhara Scarf

THIS right here is why I am so passionate about companies like Noonday. Our purchases are creating a sense of empowerment for these women, who are now able to provide for their families!

Isn’t it just incredible what an impact you can make with your purchases? You have an opportunity to be a world changer right here and now. Not only can you bring empowerment and hope to women around the world and help break the cycle of poverty, but you can be an ambassador for them every time you wear a piece from Noonday Collection. I can’t tell you how many conversations about purchasing with a purpose have been sparked by my necklace or earrings. This is a chance for women to empower women just by what they wear and how they spend their money. That is huge.

So what’s your next step? Make a purchase. Share their story. Host a trunk show. Become an ambassador. Each of these is helping to make a difference. YOU are helping to change the world. Women empowering women.
