Looking to refresh your mind, body and spirit? Light a candle, get yourself a cup of green tea and head to Lotus Jayne for a bit of retail therapy you can feel good about. From this New Jersey based company, you will find stunning pieces, a strong commitment to fair trade practices and ridiculously affordable prices. 
Beauty and integrity is key at Lotus Jayne and this is evident at every turn. Owner, Jill Kimball, has sought (and found) pieces intended to inspire her customers and positively contribute to the supplying communities. Most of the products from Lotus Jayne originate in Cambodia, where the founder’s adopted daughter (and the company’s namesake) hail. Here are just a few of the treasures I have discovered from this truly wonderful company:
Easy Tunic (pictured above). This incredibly flattering top is destined to be your new go-to outfit. A perfectly tailored v-neck flatters the bust and the slits on the sides (genius!) slim the waistline. No sack-like proportions here, thank you. The gorgeous prints make it hard to decide between them. At $24 a piece, you don’t have to. 
Sompen’s Shibori Scarf. Perfect for adding a bit of bold color to your wardrobe, this hand-dyed, gossamer silk scarf will carry you through the whole year. Instantly upgrade a casual shirt and jeans or wear it on a night out. Again, the price is absolutely unbeatable. Check out the photos of the village where your scarf was made for a fair wage!
Tree of Life Pendant. This pretty piece begs to be complimented. When it is, you can let them know your fabulous necklace used to be a not-so-fabulous bombshell. One of my favorites from Lotus Jayne, this pendant is lovingly handcrafted from discarded 155mm casings found throughout the Cambodian countryside. Through the non-profit association, Rajana Crafts, this pendant comes to you as a symbol of healing.
Also, be sure to check out the darling Cottage Felt Purse for the little girls in your life. It’s adorable, affordable and would make a perfect gift.
