Eco-friendly Apparel: prAna Is A Beautiful Path To Greener Living

This post is sponsored through Blog MeetsBrand for prAna. All opinions are 100% my own.

Being mindful of the fashion choices we make is one of the first steps to a path of greener living. Purchasing eco-friendly clothing and creating a wardrobe of classic and sustainable essentials, simplifies our lives and benefits the environment. Fashion is not about the latest trendy top that falls apart after a few washings, but the quality clothing you will have for many, many years and, hopefully, pass down to your children.

I've recently tried two fresh pieces from prAna. More than an online boutique for yoga clothing, prAna is a way of life that is synonymous with sustainable and ethical fashion. Their mission is to inspire healthy, active, and free-spirited living by producing garments that are made with love, and health minded and eco-minded materials. Naturally grown, naturally versatile organic cotton and hemp grown in China are just a few of the sustainable sources prAna uses. 

I'm obsessed with prAna's ultra versatile Amelie dress and feel every woman needs this simple black dress! The eco-friendly blend is super soft, comfy, and figure flattering. It can be dressed up or down and takes me from a day at the beach to dinner and a movie in the evening.  It is thick enough that it isn't see-through, but light enough to be a traveler's dream. I like the bra-friendly tank straps, too. Create your own style by adding accessories, putting on your favorite pair of shoes, and you're off in style.

Skincare routines have long evolved from basic soap and water. We have more skincare choices today than ever before, but sometimes finding even a simple skincare product can be overwhelming. Where do you begin and what should you look for in order to find safe and healthy products for your skin? 

The best approach is to find a skincare brand that is passionate about health, wellness, high ethical standards, and environmental sustainability. DERMA-E is one such brand and has become one of the largest natural facial care brands in the U.S. DERMA-E's eco-ethical skin care products are cruelty-free, 100% Vegan, Gluten-free, soy free, recyclable, and manufacture its products with wind power to reduce C02 emissions.

7 Tricks to Make Your Bathroom Appear Larger!

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of WETSTYLE. The opinions and text are all mine.

Is a small bathroom cramping your style? We've rounded up some tips and tricks to make your small bathroom appear larger! 

1. Add depth with mirrors. Mirrors instantly make a bath feel larger. Place mirrors strategically across from a window to reflect light and visually open the space in your bathroom. In my daughter's bathroom, I placed a mirror above her vanity to reflect the outdoors. It is hard to see the outdoor reflection in the photo (below), but she can see it when she is sitting at her vanity.

Style, Decor & More had the wonderful opportunity to sample Albion's Timp Jacket in order to share a first-hand experience with you. There are so many reasons why I fell in love with this jacket. First. It is primed for active style with its high performance fabric and moisture wicking features and it keeps me cool, dry and comfortable. I also find the slim-fitting cut to be figure flattering and designed in such a way as to have a visual slimming effect on the torso area. Its feminine and stylish touches like the baby jersey stripes and ruching on top, and lightly quilted fleece on the bottom, are super cute and again, figure flattering!  

Albion's extraordinary attention to detail is what ultimately sets this jacket apart from the others. The well-constructed thumb holes and solid stitched zipper with protective neck cover are first-rate quality touches that are made to last! 

Impeccable attention to detail!

I put the Timp Jacket to the test by hitting the pavement, lounging around, and running errands. The jacket has been washed and worn more than once and it still looks and performs fantastic!

Meet prAna - Beautiful and Sustainable Fashionl

Disclosure:  I was given a jacket for review purposes only. All opinions expressed herein are 100% my own. Please refer to the Disclosure Policy for more details.

prAna - "Breath, life, vitality of the spirit." These qualities infuse not only our name, but also our aspirations, the things we make and how we make them. Welcome to mindfully designed, built to last products – born from the experience.

Are your clothes a reflection of you and what you value most? prAna feels when you reach into your closet, there should be something there that reflects who you are, how you feel and what you value most.  I had been eyeing prAna's online site for quite awhile now, admiring their clothing and their commitment to providing their customers sustainable apparel. It has always been prAna's mission to provide an earth-friendly label by using organic cotton, natural fibers, and recycled materials to create their clothing line.

Since 1992, when prAna first began, it limiting the size of its footprint by making labels from homemade paper and shipping their apparel in fruit boxes they gathered from a local grocery store. Fast forward to today, and prAna still has the same values with a clear focus on the environment.    

Today I am featuring a jacket from prAna that has far surpassed my expectations! For starters, I am loving the super soft comfiness and warmth of the jacket's sherpa lining. Seriously soft, ladies! The diamond quilted fabric and attention to detail are impeccable!  The jacket is lightweight and perfectly weighted for autumn, spring, and mild winter days. I ordered my Diva Long Jacket in a size extra small, which fits perfectly! The arm length is about an inch longer than my arm, and when cuffed, creates a cute sherpa trim. I like a little extra length in the arms as it allows for some play and unrestricted movement. For sizing purposes, I am typically a size petite 4.
