Wear It Wednesday: Lokai Bracelet Isn't Just An Accessory, It's A Powerful Life Lesson

I’m thrilled to share with you all a new product on the market that functions as an accessory, yet also carries a message—the lokai bracelet.

The lokai bracelet is easy and comfortable to wear. Based on what you fancy, you can show it off as a single bangle or stack it to achieve a more full look. Composed mainly of translucent beads, with the exception of one black and one white bead, the lokai bracelet matches with virtually anything! However, the distinctive characteristic of this bracelet goes beyond its wardrobe versatility.

The black bead holds mud from the Dead Sea (the lowest point on the earth) and the white bead carries water from Mount Everest (the highest point on the earth). The message lies therein—Sometimes you’ve hit a low, stay hopeful. Sometimes you’re on top of the world, stay humble.

Here at Simple Silhouette we advocate sharing a positive message with the world and our friends at lokai have accomplished that through their message—thank you for the powerful reminder!

Wear It Wednesday: Tribal Scarf

Who gets excited about a sale?! I know I do. Our friends at TO THE MARKET| Survivor-made Goods (TTM) are having a Spring Sale—yay! With promo code: SPIRNG15 you can get 15% off your purchase.

As if the sale isn’t cause for celebration enough, TTM is also a social enterprise that combines the powers of commerce and storytelling to empower the world’s most courageous survivor populations, in the belief that resilience is more powerful than suffering.

In other words, when you shop TTM goods, your reward is three-fold because:

1. Your purchase directly contributes to a survivor’s economic empowerment

2. You raise awareness about the perils of abuse, conflict and disease around the world and how it’s

affecting women of all ages. (When you’re sporting your TTM purchase and get that sweet

compliment—that’s your time to shine as an advocate!)

3. You receive an amazing hand-made good that makes you more stylish than you were before

To learn more about TTM and how the company is empowering women around the world, read my interview with TTM Founder/CEO Jane Mosbacher Morris.

Today I am wearing my TTM Tribal Scarf. The vibrant colors that nicely blend (yet pop!) add a dose of liveliness to my ensemble. I decided to pair the scarf with a neutral cashmere shirt, hunter green skinny jeans and my multi-colored sparkle ballet flats to balance out the burst of color from the scarf. The tassels that adorn the scarf around the edges, is a detail I love because it delivers a pinch sophisticated flare and (bonus) it mirrors the tassel that charms my bracelet! Lastly, I love my tea—so tribal scarf + cup of tea made for a happy start to the day. (Besides, what proper lady doesn’t like tea?)
