I’m headed to NYC next weekend for the Ethical Writers & Creatives Fall Style Swap. That means I get to meet a crew of my fellow writers. I’m stoked about the event and even more stoked for my readers in the Manhattan area – because you can join us! The Style Swap is one of the EWC’s signature events. If you’re ready to retire a few fall pieces from your wardrobe – bring ’em. They’re your access pass into stylish Manhattanites’ closets. The swap is equal parts sartorial and sustainable.
Here’s the event lowdown:
Join Zady and the Ethical Writers & Creatives for sparkling wine, music, and secondhand shopping. The first 50 guests will take their finds home with them in a Zady tote bag along with a special discount packet from our favorite sustainable brands!
When?
Saturday, October 3rd 1-4 p.m.
Where?

Directed by Andrew Morgan, The True Cost documentary is a groundbreaking film that exposes the global impact of the fast fashion industry. It is about the clothes we wear, the people who make them, and the impact the industry is having on our world. Through the documentary, Morgan asks the question, who really pays the price for our clothing?

Owls Brew was founded by Jennie Ripps and Maria Littlefield, two tea-drinking boozers (always in moderation) on a quest for a sipper that was lighter, fresher, and more fun than the regular bar-fare. Owl’s Brew is freshly brewed in Vermont from all-natural whole tea leaves, fruits, spices and herbs with no added or artificial flavors.
