Kollectin tea Party at Fifi and Romeo in Beverly Hills
Today I headed into Beverly Hills to the cutest little boutique called Fifi and Romeo for a Tea Party and girls afternoon with one of my favorite apps, Kollectin! The jewelry app was celebrating it's latest collection launch, a partnership with Yana Sirkin, shop owner and celebrity pet stylist. Bloggers, influencers and fashion industry experts showed up to check out the new styles and mingle. The theme of the day was a Mad Hatter Tea and everyone was encouraged to come in their most fashionable hats. I chose to go with a 90s theme from my all time favorite fashion film, Cluelelss. My look was inspired by Yana because she is queen of 90s fashion (which her adorable shop reflects) and she actually worked as a costume designer on the movie!! If you are into costume design stay tuned for my interview with Yana about her fascinating career in Hollywood costume and fashion design which will be up on the blog soon! My look was totally vintage inspired and I even had this matching plaid hat to complete the outfit for the tea party theme! My jacket is a retro piece from the 90s with shoulder pads and everything!

Why Doesn't Sustainable Fashion Sell?
The fashion industry is no stranger to environmental issues. In fact several have even called the textile industry one of the biggest polluters in the world. Fast Fashion retailers and trends have contributed to the industry's environmental footprint in recent years. Americans are estimated to throw away around 12.8 million tons of clothes per year according to an article from the Yale school of Forestry and Environmental studies. That amounts to approximately 70-80 pounds per person
