Do You Cashmink?

by

Cashmere has been, and still remains a luxury. Someday, I’ll possess a winter wardrobe full of everything cashmere, including pj’s and hoodies, but for now, I’ll settle for a little Cashmink. Manufactured by European company Fraas, the Cashmink scarf is composed of a unique fiber (a special, exclusive acrylic), which as a result, is finer than natural fibers and ultra soft, mimicking cashmere. I’m loving the bulk-less warmth of my scarf (compliments of Fraas) and currently it has taken up a permanent residence in my handbag, ready for the cold weather that will certainly come! If you’re interested in trying out some Cashmink for yourself, they can be found at several retailers nation-wide, including Boscov‘s, Bon-Ton, and Amazon.com, for around $20.

Naya Time!

by



Chic eco-friendly shoes isn’t something one frequently comes across when shopping for footwear. There is a need for such products, and as previously mentioned in FPD’s exclusive interview with Naya designer Kasey Gibbs, “Naya understands that women want eco-friendly footwear that fits into more aspects of their life. Women have a desire to help the environment but they also want to express their femininity and style.”  I gladly partook in the Naya shoe experience, compliments of the brand, that brings the eco experience full circle, down to the packaging of the shoes themselves (boxes made with 80% recycled paper pulp).

I selected the lovely Naya Nefertiti Boots in Chestnut, $289 to give the shoes a true test run, and discovered that the comfort, performance, and style was no different than any other pair of shoe in the same price range. I also think that these shoes are the absolute coolest! They go perfectly with leggings, jeggings, or regular jeans, tucked in or scrunched at the bottom. I’ll definitely be back for a second pair of shoes by Naya, and love the fact that finally a brand gets what it means to be eco and fashion forward at the same time.
