Fur is back! *VINTAGE* Fur that is, and re-upping a few key points on fur before we get into a few of my faves for the flurry months that make vintage fur so fab: I’m vegan *about 90-92% of the time* (full-time vegetarian though!), and it all began because of animal rights and cruelty. In no way, shape or form do I support purchasing new fur and just want to get that out there. There are a lot of options when it comes to purchasing fur, and also conflicting opinions when it comes to what is most ethical and sustainable. I found a great article from Refinery 29 “Faux Fur: Good For Ethics, Bad For The Planet?” if you want to read...
It's Halloween Week! We really love this holiday, but know it can get pretty scary out there trying to find the perfect costume... and one that won't make the planet scream😱 We put together few ASOME ideas + places to shop that won't scare the 💩out of the 🌎 for your final frightening Halloween fiestas! First stop, your closet! You'd be amazed how much is in there (or borrow from a friend!) that can help you create the perfect look.

Will The Good 2 was soooooooo awesome! We can't thank everyone enough who came to shop, drink, eat, dance, pose, hula-hoop and hit the pole -- and my friends who helped make it happen: Yelp, Goodwill of Central Iowa, AC Hotel East Village, Figment Art Photography, Club B-Fit and DJ Rock Paper Scissors and the ASOME babes.

You've probably gotten the gist by now, we're totally in favor of sustainable shopping options. Does it happen 100% of the time? No, it doesn't. We all fall into that trap, but we're working really hard @ ASOME to help give you inspo (+ things to shop!) to make it a habit and goal -- especially when it comes to outfitting your gorg selves. Shopping second-hand is one of the best ways to check the sustainable clothing box, and Goodwill is one of our favorite places to do it.
