 A year after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Michael Stars co-founder, Suzanne Lerner, joined actress Maria Bello and Women Donors Network (WDN) along with We Advance teams to advocate for the health, safety and well-being of Haitian women in a nation already overcome by great loss.

 

Equipped with 500 pounds of donated toiletries and 200 Michael Stars tees, these organizations made their way through Haiti visiting a number of women’s organizations, including the We Advance clinic in Cité Soleil, one of the poorest areas in the Western hemisphere, distributing goods to those in need.

 

Looking beyond health care needs of women victimized by the earthquake, WDN and We Advance also met with Kofaviv, a non-profit organization representing survivors of gender-based violence, and Femmes en Democratie, an organization working to empower women’s political rights.  By working together, these communities hope to create a sustainable structural change and improve the lives of Haitian girls and women.

Every gal needs a bit of whimsy in her wardrobe.  These laser cut acrylic rings by LickityCut made us smile. 

OK, while we do not live in Singapore, we now wish we did!  This beauty of a house by Guz Architects makes us drool.  The stunning modern courtyard home is centered around an outdoor pond filled with lush greenery and calming waters.  If we are ever in Singapore we will stop by.

 

T’s aren’t just for lazy Sundays around the house anymore.  Fashion mavins and trendsetters all over the world are wearing T’s as an every day staple, no matter the weather or occasion.  Pair one with a blazer for a pulled together look, loose and free with an ethnic print wrap skirt, or winterize it under a fur (faux of course).  Check out our Supima Short Sleeved Crew to mix and match with your wardrobe and go wild!

    

 

I don’t know about you, but we work at desks.  Sometimes it’s nice to bring a little nature inside to gaze upon while creating the world’s best t-shirts.  If only we could we’d live inside this gorgeous little prism by the Wild Unknown.  Walk along the sand, beside a giant feather and driftwood…and we don’t have to remember to water it!
