Most are aware of the downsides of fast fashion, synthetic materials, chemically treated fibers, the inability to recycle easily, and pollution from waste and microplastics in the environment. Many slow, sustainable fashion brands create products that will last a lifetime and biodegrade safely back into nature. Homefrocks is one such brand. Homefrocks is a collection of easy-to-wear, sustainable women’s clothing. Inspired by the natural wonders of New Mexico, each piece is designed in their Santa Fe studio and handmade, like flowing linen blouses and soft, cozy wool sweaters. The Canyon Rd. boutique is nestled in a lush green landscape that reflects their nature-inspired designs. * botanically dyed * natural fibers * handmade * responsibly sourced To find alternatives to fast fashion, we must first be willing to give it up. Then, see the beauty in the art of creating clothes that you can keep and wear for a lifetime. Homefrocks makes it easy with their timeless, want-to-live pieces. @homefrocks #lovelocal #shoplovelocal #localshops #sustainablefashion #santafe #natureinspired #handmade #supportsmall #supportsmallbusinesses #santafesmallbusiness #newmexico #newmexicosmallbusiness #fashion #natureinspiredfashion #shopsmall #dumpfastfashion #breakupwithfastfashion #naturalfibers #nontoxicclothing #womensclothing #dresses #sweaters #skirts #nontoxicdyes #botanicaldyes #cleanclothes #ecofriendly #sustainable #ecofriendlyclothes #ecofriendlyfashion

La Palmeraie is a breakfast and coffee shop operating out of an outfitted airstream siturated on the idyllic Indian Springs property in Calistoga, CA. I stopped by for a morning coffee and egg sandwich made with St. Helena-based Model bakery. Add this to your stop when you're visiting Napa for a low-key bit under the palm trees. #lovelocal #shoplovelocal #shoplocal #localbreakfast #supportlocal #localbusiness #calistoga #california #norcal #coffeeshop #freshpastries #alfresco #indianspringsresort #modelbakery #napa #napavalley #napavalleyfood
