What’s better than shopping for an adorable new fall dress like this one from Faircloth & Supply? Not much! But the twelve brands below have managed to improve upon one of our favorite past-times.

In honor of our October Guest, Kristen Bell, we’re adding these 12 crucially stylish items to The Shop – each of which supports a community or cause we find compelling. Included in the mix is This Bar Saves Lives, a charitable snack bar company we love, and one Kristen is a vocal advocate for. This Bar gives vital nutrition to children in need with the purchase of each bar. We love that – and the missions behind all twelve of these brands (roll over each shopping item to read more.)

The causes are diverse and the shopping is really good. Shop our favorites like the new farmer’s market-ready baskets from The Little Market and this dress from Faircloth & Supply – every dress in their collection helps provide uniforms for girls in Nepal who need the clothing in order to attend school. Great idea or what? When you’re through here, hop on over to our October shop where you’ll find cozy DIY kits, obsession-level fitnesswear, and the yogamat no one has been able to get over…
