a day in paris with farah malik of a peace treaty

{Editor’s Note: While I’m off strolling down cobblestone streets, mainlining croissants and gelato, I’ve asked a few of my most stylish globetrotting friends to share what they’d be doing – and of course, what they’d be wearing – on a dream day abroad.} 

If I’m honest, Farah Malik is the motivation for this whole guest expert series. One half of the extraordinary team behind A Peace Treaty, Farah is exactly the person I think of when I imagine a bona fide jetsetter. She quite literally scours the globe on a regular basis, working with communities to support (and help restore) their ancient craft traditions, which are often on the verge of disappearing. A Peace Treaty works with local artisans to create handmade, unique accessories that the fashion world can’t snap up fast enough. Everyone wins – artisans continue their craft, communities flourish, and the rest of us are a little better-dressed. Talk about money well spent!

If anyone can take us on a true insider’s tour of Paris, it’s Farah. Enjoy the journey!

one great thing…

I stumbled across this necklace by A Peace Treaty on Pinterest, and can’t quite get it out of my mind. How perfect would this be for summer?

I’m a big believer in upping the accessory ante in summer…mostly because my summer wardrobe is about as dull as it comes. But throw this on over a tank and jeans, and suddenly, it’s an outfit – it’s amazing what a great statement necklace can do for casualwear. Plus, it’s limited edition (if you don’t know about Of A Kind yet, prepare yourself for some serious gasping), so you get to feel like you have something special.

Let me know if you nab one, and I promise to be appropriately jealous. Unless I get there first.
