Father's Day is a pretty worthwhile commercial holiday in my opinion, yeah, of course we should appreciate our loved ones everyday, but inevitably things get in the way. With that said, it is notoriously difficult to gift my father anything, all he wants is a happy family he says. Whilst this is very noble (love you Dad!), I can't exactly wrap that up with a bow. Seeing as we are a million miles apart (Mum and Dad live in the UK) instead of the customary Father's Day meal I would like to send him a well thought out something just to say THANK YOU for all the sh*t I've put you through being my Dad.  Needless to say this post took fooorever to put together, but hope there's an ethical idea in here for your dad, that special father figure or your baby daddy too. :-)

Fairtrade fortnight kicks off on Feb 25th and although their theme this year is Go Further for Smallholder Farmers (more on that next week)  I wanted to get in the spirit of  Fair Trade and Fashion Week. Today's inspiration, Prints and Peplums, as snapped for Harper's Bazaar at Milan Fashion Week. FAIR + TRUE produces much of their collection in SOKO, Kenya, the same producer used by ASOS Africa, and their variety of on-trend silhouettes combined with psychedelic African prints make for winning combinations. Look out for some hot print and peplum pieces in the coming weeks from People Tree too.
