Fair Trade Accessories for the Gold Gala

This weekend I'm heading down to NYC to attend the Gold Gala, a fundraiser for St. Jude's Children's Hospital, hosted by some of my Tri-Delta sisters from SLU. I am excited for the event, but I am even more excited that the goal of the event is to raise at least $35,000 for St. Jude. I have my dress and such all picked out, but I needed some accessories, and what better place to get fair trade and environmentally responsible jewelry than Ten Thousand Villages.

I bought these beautiful mother of pearl bangles made by the Metalworkers of Noah's Ark in Moradabad, India:

I highly suggest checking out the Ten Thousand Villages location in Downtown Boston to satisfy any jewelry craving!

So a few of my fellow SLU grads also have cute blogs. Some of them are actually pretty entertaining, so I've decided to share them:

Princess Bed

This post is a dedication to two of my dear friends: Cuyler Bell and Glennie Clement. In the fall of 2008 we spent hours and hours and hours cozily cooped up in the back room of a small sorority house in upstate New York. There we invented "the princess bed". A place for friends to escape cold winter snow storms and watch trashy TV like The Bachelor, Grey's Anatomy, and The Hills. Sadly, our princess bed was a crumby fold-out couch handed down through the generations of Tri-Deltas at St. Lawrence. Now that we've all graduated, have jobs, and have escaped the frigid climate of Canton, we now have the freedom to pick our own princess beds. Here are some of the ones I love.
