Nashville Dreams

October is my favorite month. A time for hockey, bonfires with s’mores, fall festivals, friends, and — of course — fair trade.

October is Fair Trade Month, which means fun sales and product launches from several sustainable companies. The Root Collective officially launched their gorgeous Millie smoking shoes, and they are offering 20% off purchases through Sunday, October 11, with code MILLIE20. In case you need to stock up on some wardrobe basics, PACT Apparel is offering 15% off their entire site with the code FAIRTRADEMONTH. For more Fair Trade Month Sales, follow Fair Fashion Finds on Tumblr, Twitter, or Facebook.

If you need a fair trade Halloween idea, be sure to check out Equal Exchange’s “Fair Trade Your Halloween” Kit. I’d love to promote fair trade while not promoting cavities, but I haven’t found any affordable non-edible treats for my Halloween stash — chocolate it is, then!

Keep your eyes open for Nisolo’s jewelry Kickstarter next week. I hear they have some amazing backer rewards.

How are you celebrating fair trade month? Do you have any fun October plans?
