Cold in California

It is freezing. I really shouldn't complain since I'm "freezing" in San Jose, California. Waking up to the 41degree weather isn't that awesome but again, at least its not BELOW freezing. I came across a fun website called The Hempest which has a huge selection of organic hemp clothing. Their selections range from the outdoorsy gal to the city chic gal. Perfect outwear for the California cold.

Reveal Handbags

"In 1999, REVEAL’s founders, Terry Omata and Jiaying Wei, traveled to the world’s most populated countries, China and India. There they saw people working hard to escape poverty and attain the Western lifestyle: striving to have bigger houses, faster cars and the latest fashion. Realizing the world’s understandable desire to obtain a higher standard of living would ultimately cause our planet’s deterioration, they created REVEAL to reinvent fashion in an eco-friendly and viable way.

REVEAL’s fashion bags are made with the best recycled, organic and sustainable materials available. The mission of REVEAL is to do exactly what the name suggests, reveal how our products are made and empower consumers with information they need to make better choices.


With REVEAL, being fashionable and socially responsible are no longer mutually exclusive. Finally, you don’t have to choose between fashion and a better planet." (revealbags.com)

REVEAL products co-founded by my dear friend Annie Omata's older brother to mix chic fashion while preserving the environment. Here are some of my personal favorites :)
