Ethical Designer Profile: Make Love Not Trash
December 10, 2009

[starreviewmulti id=2 tpl=20 style='plain' size='16' average_stars='darkness' average_size='16'] I’m a bit of a bag lady. I almost always have at least three bags on me – especially on workdays – including: My “goes with anything” clutch; A makeup bag (I almost always do it on the bus); and A tote: for lunch, a book, workout clothes, [...]
What About Wednesday: Get Over Yourself
December 9, 2009

[[Once a week I ask the same bleary-eyed question: “What about Wednesday?” It’s my day to post whatever the hell I feel like, with no regard to fashion, eco-consciousness or, occasionally, even coherent thoughts.]] What the hell is everybody whining about?

Founder Anzie Stein began designing jewelry after learning her husband was diagnosed with [...]
Sustainable Sales: Butter London
December 3, 2009

Did you miss out on the last Butter London promotion at The Fairest? I did. I hadn’t thought about which of my friends actually wore nail polish, or what colors they liked…and I got a little spooked about “just going for it.” Which was silly, but whatever. HauteLook has given me (and you) another chance [...]

December 2, 2009
[[Once a week I ask the same bleary-eyed question: “What about Wednesday?” It’s my day to post whatever the hell I feel like, with no regard to fashion, eco-consciousness or, occasionally, even coherent thoughts.]] — Today, a man told me a story. He told me that, as a young adult, he didn’t get along with his [...]

Ergo, the semi-regular To Covet: a category that shows one thing that I’ve been coveting, be it eco-, socio- or independently-friendly. micah grey dress: $68 This dress – found at local boutique [...]
