4 Ways to Create a Fair Trade Fall Aesthetic
OCT 25, 2024
It’s everyone’s favorite season! Welcome to fall—a season for cozy layers, warm colors, and meaningful choices! As the leaves turn gold and we savor the beauty of autumn, why not bring the values of Fair Trade into your seasonal style? At Starfish Project, we believe that every choice we make can reflect kindness, purpose, and hope. In this blog, we’re sharing four ways to create a fall aesthetic that looks good and does good. From ethically made accessories to sustainable home decor, discover how you can fill your autumn with warmth, purpose, and the spirit of Fair Trade!
1. Incorporate cozy fall accents in your home.
Don’t underestimate the power of texture! Our new handmade home decor has transformed our space into a cozy fall wonderland. The woven bowls, planters turned storage baskets add a touch of luxe autumn charm, perfect for gathering fall veggies, fruits, and leaves for crafts! With plush blankets in rich mustard yellow and burnt orange (hook-em! You can take the girl out of Texas, but…), warm candlelight, and our beautiful new Gather napkin rings and trivets, every corner feels dressed up for fall. And let’s not forget the kitchen—a fresh set of fall-inspired dish towels brings the whole look together!
2. Time to break out your fall wardrobe!
This season is all about cozy layers, soft knits, and the perfect jewelry to complete every look. Pair your favorite chunky sweater with warm-hued natural stone jewelry, gold earrings, or a statement necklace from Starfish Project that adds a pop of sparkle and purpose. Whether it’s our earthy stone rings, elegant hoop earrings, or stackable bracelets, each piece complements the textures and tones of fall fashion. These accessories aren’t just stylish—they help support survivors creating new lives of freedom. Embrace the warmth of fall and the beauty of making a difference!
3. Fill your space with fall scents & warm light.
Nothing sets a fall mood quite like the golden glow of a candle (or five). Candles up the ambiance, as well as adding lamps for a cozy vibe. Personally, I rarely use the overhead lights. A working fireplace is a thing of my dreams, and the mantel would look stunning with our new handmade garland that literally transforms lives!
4. Slowdown the days by spending time with loved ones.
My favorite autumn memories always involved my family and friends – attempting to make my pumpkin spiced everything, carving pumpkins, fall fairs, and evening strolls to collect leaves for crafts.
This year, we tried the viral dried flower pumpkins. We couldn't find white pumpkins, but we made it work and had a blast! Spend time with your loved ones this season.
As we cozy into fall, let’s embrace living and buying with purpose. Each choice we make—from the jewelry we wear to the decor we choose—can reflect values of hope, and impact. By supporting Fair Trade and ethically made brands, like Starfish Project, you’re creating a season of warmth that goes beyond style, filling your homes and wardrobes with pieces that make a difference. Here’s to a fall that’s both beautiful and meaningful!
