Village Fashion – review
Village Fashion has been on Main Street for a very long time but I only recently began shopping exclusively in town so I’m introducing myself. As with most stores here, the average price for accessories is $20.00, and they have a wide range of clothing and styles from various fashion houses/artisans. I believe […]
Inside the Birdcage – Back Inside Stormcage – October 21, 2015
My leg hurts so much from yesterday’s walk around town, but I feel really accomplished with what I got done yesterday. It was, for abolitionism in particular and for my fashion blogging in general, a really good day. I went around Main Street Stony Plain again and made contact with effectively all of the store […]
Escape from Stormcage – October 20, 2015 – “The Buzy Bee Workshop”
Well, first, we’ve just had a few fairly significant national events happen which should supercede anything else; Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada won the federal election with a Conservative opposition; the former PM Stephen Harper has resigned as leader of the Conservative party.

The article does not mention that cigarette butts can also be rendered into pesticides or fabric. I am frequently fascinated by what I consider a commodity and others consider trash. Pesticide from cigarette butts and […]

Fair trade is the practice is peer to peer trade between creator and point of sale, usually for the practice of social development. It is one of the main pillars of economic recovery in developing nation struggling with trafficking or slavery, and the encouragement of fair trade allows farmers in so called “banana republics” become […]
Slow Fashion Movement
Slow fashion is the idea that clothing should be made ethically, using solid materials and styles that last, and preferably materials with a low ecological footprint. Supporting slow fashion means shopping locally at boutiques which investigate their sources, buying from local seamstresses or tailors, and avoiding box stores as much as possible. For me, this […]
Consulting
I recently had a chat with an individual with whom I have been conducting business with on an entirety pro bono basis. Said individual remains suspicious of me despite the fact that I’ve offered nothing but support and solid information to, and so it leads to this post. If you wish for me to work […]
