You may have noticed a scattering of enviro-friendly options at Tula over the past couple seasons. One of our favorite additions is vegan leather from Free People. Vegan leather is considered to be an ecological and animal-friendly alternative to real leather. Although a number of design houses are jumping on board with the trend, we believe Free People does it best.

Last fall we saw their fun and flirty vegan leather mini-skirt fly off our shelves. For the winter and spring transition, we have the ultra chic and versatile leather jacket. Like all leather jackets, you can pair this number with just about anything. However, the cropped waist and asymmetrical zippers add a bit of flare making it more than your average jacket. Below we paired it with the BCBG Carole Dress and Love Heal Zendo Necklace.

Stop by and see or yourself – it more than passes for real leather. And keep an eye for more vegan leather on our shelves throughout the coming seasons.

I Love My…Love Quotes Scarf!

How many times have you dug through your closet looking for that perfect accessory that will make your whole ensemble come together? We know how you feel. That is until Love Quotes scarves came into our lives. These oversize, lightweight, colorful scarves can give an instant pop to a needy outfit.

Wrap it around your neck or wear it as a shawl – they can be used throughout every season, year after year. And, to make Love Quotes even more lovable, they donate 10% of their proceeds to international children’s charities.

We are and will continue to see her work throughout the Tula racks, so it seems only right to devote some time to the one and only, Diane von Furstenberg.

Commonly known as the genius behind the iconic wrap dress, like the Linda Dress above, DVF has been catering to the modern woman since the 1970′s when, with a $30,000 investment, she began designing women’s clothes. (Oh, and this was after she married and divorced her first husband, Prince Egon of Furstenberg. That’s right…she was a princess for a time.)

In addition to her clothing empire, she also founded a publishing house called Salvy and started other ventures including a home-shopping business and a cosmetics line. In 2005, the Council of Fashion Designers of America awarded her the Lifetime Achievement Award.

You only have to browse around Tula to see what an amazing and chic eye this woman has – her timeless designs truly represents what being a woman is all about.

Shoes, shoes, shoes! Here at Tula, we understand the value of a great pair of shoes. That’s why we always try to have a variety of styles in stock. Right now we’re loving the range and versatility of our shoe vendors.

Old Gringo- you can never go wrong with a rugged pair of cowboy boots. Old Gringo consistently delivers on vintage charm mixed with contemporary detail. Whether it’s a zipper up the side or intricate thread detail throughout, each pair of Old Gringos gives you that perfect mix of comfort and style.

Hollywood Trading Company – HTC product has been flying off the shelves since we picked up the line earlier in the year. The brand was created in the 90′s by Zip Stevenson, who had a passion for hand made, “American vintage” leather belts. Beyond their amazing belts are the shoes. The Walker Boot is a taupe ankle boot with a flap that can be worn high or folded over. Pair it with skinny jeans or a skirt for an
edgy look. The Hurricane Boot is a black biker boot with studs around the ankle. The crinkled effect of the leather coming up the calf gives it a worn, vintage look.

One of our most beloved jewelry lines here at Tula (by staff and customers alike) is Love Heals. Each piece is unique and is made with the highest quality, ethically sourced materials found in nature. Furthermore, it’s a family run operation whose bottom line is rooted in philanthropy.

The design team is made up of a mother, son and daughter team – Adriana, Gunnar and Elisa. When they started the business, their initial vision was to simply create beauty and share it with the world. That vision quickly expanded into a brand based on giving back
to the community and the environment.

Here are some of the ways Love Heals gives back. For every piece sold, ten trees are planted with Greener Ethiopia. To date, more than 660,000 trees have been planted. For each Vision piece sold, Love Heals donates to Vitamin Angels, an organization that provides essential nutrients to at-risk children reducing child mortality worldwide. And, if you purchase a piece from the Hope Line, Love Heals donates to Generation Rescue, an organization the provides Autism treatments to children diagnosed with Autism.

We love everything about Love Heals – stop by Tula to see what we currently have in stock and see how you can make a difference today.
