March 18, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Fashion When it comes to clothes, I usually stick to a pretty neutral color palette. However, I am pretty much obsessed with a good orange + blue combo. In the same day, I bought this sweater from Gap (on super sale!), and a skirt with the same hues.
I love this outfit. I am almost sad that it is getting warmer because I probably won’t be able to wear it again any time soon.
I have recently really

So earlier this week, I went to check out the new Teysha store on S. 1st. If you aren’t familiar with the brand, you really should be.
While traveling the world, co-founders, Sophie and Travis, saw the damaging impacts of poverty and deforestation. They believed that social entrepreneurship, conscious capitalism, and micro-finance were the most effective tools to empower people.
Thus, Teysha was born to help give artisans around the world more opportunity. The artists make beautiful, hand-crafted belts, shoes and hats.
Sophie and Travis explain, “By joining our mission, you are helping to create a world in

After her husband was fired from his job as a college football coach because he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, Maura Horton started a fashion business out of her home. Her company, MagnaReady, makes dress shirts for men and women that are held closed with magnets so people with arthritis, Parkinson’s or other mobility-limiting conditions can dress without help.
I really admire Maura because she was able to turn a challenging

March 9, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Lifestyle I have been really bad about posting this week. Part of the reason is I have just been so busy with work. The other part of the reason is I am starting to feeling a little confused as to the direction of the blog. I feel like this blog has two separate identities. On one hand, I have posts about all the things I do (What I Wore, What I Ate). Then, on the other hand, I have posts about other people (Career Confidential, 3 Things I Wish I Knew in my 20s). I love all of it, so maybe

March 2, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Fashion Happy Sunday!
I hope the weather is better where ever you are. After a few splendid days of sunshine in Austin, it is back to being rainy and cold. BUMMER. However, the good news is I can wear all of the sweaters that I have been purchasing at end of season sales. It is definitely a good day to stay in bed, and write blog posts!
I didn’t know I was on a mission to find the perfect LBD, until I saw this one. It was love at first sight! I now understand why

Patti Pao had a major “aha” moment when visiting a salmon hatchery in Norway. They do say that you can find inspiration everywhere! While on a sight seeing tour, Patti noticed that the workers’ hands, which were submerged in water all day, looked smooth and ageless. She soon discovered that this was the result of a remarkable enzyme that occurs in nature to help salmon eggs hatch.
Patti, a beauty industry veteran, knew immediately

February 25, 2014 by Rebekah in ETC., Fashion Haha if you haven’t noticed, the titles to my posts are always very uncreative. I don’t know, but I have a hard time coming up with cutesy titles, so I just pick something super literal. I mean, at least you know what the post is going to be about.
So yes, in this post I am wearing a plaid shirt. This shirt is another one of those thrift store finds that has proven to be a great purchase. It is a men’s Ralph Lauren shirt that I scored for under $5 at Goodwill, and I wear it all the time
