“Zero Bullshit. Just Coffee.” This is the slogan of 19-year-old Emma Chamberlain’s coffee brand. Chamberlain Coffee is made responsibly and ethically with special grade USDA organic coffee beans. On the brands website they offer five different blends of coffee with the most adorable packaging. I think the Social Dog Blend is right up my alley.

Either way, this coffee brand is cute, ethical and delicious. What’s not to love?
Our current obsession right now is Something Navy. The brand is climbing its way to popularity with their adorable clothes and new website launch. The original clothing brand was founded by Arielle Charnas after launching her personal blog Something Navy nearly 8 years before that! She later transitioned her blog to a full-fledged clothing line that was in collaboration with Nordstrom. After a whirlwind year and sales through the roof, Something Navy decided to branch out on their own and created their own lifestyle brand similar to Goop. Their website houses articles from a number of contributors, clothing from Something Navy and other brands they love. Charnas has big plans for Something Navy. She hopes to expand the brand to all avenues of life like home décor and scents. They are something unstoppable!
