Happy New Year, friends! I’ve been out of town visiting family for an extended holiday — collecting the sweetest gifts from the sweetest people and, today, scavenging Jon’s grandmother’s vintage ornament collection. I already can’t wait to decorate for next year.
Here’s hoping you all had a fabulous holiday, and cheers to great eco fashion news [...]
I do, and I want one for you, too! So much so that I’ve been working every waking hour for the past few weeks to get Storenvy.com launched, the “free online store and social shopping community” startup that I work for part-time. It’s where I’ll launch my Fashion Loves People store to sell my tees, and [...]
I am so excited to finally reveal (drum roll please…) Chanaristyle.com! This will allow you 24/7 access to sneak peeks at the newest stationery designs and how to become a Chanari Facebook fan!
Thank you, dedicated FLP readers! I have had such a fabulous time working my magic through the FLP Getups, and I cannot wait [...]
A first glimpse at a little tee line I’ll be releasing soon in collaboration with some fantastic Kansas City artists. Can’t wait to tell you all about it!
Hello! This is Katie, stylist of FLP Getups, finally putting pen to paper (so to speak) to introduce myself here. My goal is to bring you the eco-friendly fashion you’ve been searching for. Not only will the outfits I style show you some of the best in socially responsible brands and vintage sources, they’ll give [...]
This week, we’re working for paychecks rather than for the intrinsic benefits of blogging. Good for us, bad for you. (Grin.)
Enjoy Paper Darren, but if he’s not enough, Coldplay just released a video for Strawberry Swing that’s up the same alley.
See you next week!

This is from Janette rather than Katie, posted while I’m on a visit to Austin, but I had to share my favorite accessory of the moment…
T-shirt ring ties! I had so many of these in elementary school, and I think most were neon. My friend Rachel gave this gold one to me for Christmas [...]
For the second time this year, FLP is happy to participate in Max Gladwell’s “10 Ways” series. This particular post is a collaboration between that series and Mashable’s Summer of Social Good charitable fundraiser, and it is being simultaneously published across more than 100 blogs.
Social media is about connecting people and providing the tools [...]
Hi. I’m Janette, and this is my blog.
I’m a freelance writer, writing Fashion Loves People in my spare moments of free time. I started it almost two years ago as an outlet for sharing the socially friendly fashion brands I was researching for my own use anyway, and since Day 1, I’ve loved every minute [...]
“Yoko and I, when we got together, we knew that whatever we did was going to be in the papers. So we decided to utilize the space we would occupy anyway by getting married with a commercial for peace.”
Strategic. I like it. A lot.
(Just finished watching the 1988 documentary Imagine: John Lennon.)
I saw this twice this week and liked it for some reason — masking tape to hang stuff up. It’s not permanent or pretty, but it’s temporary and cute. And sometimes that’s okay.

I was fortunate enough this week to be able to write a guest blog post for Pop!Tech — “a one-of-a-kind conference, a community of remarkable people, and an ongoing conversation about science, technology and the future of ideas.” I wrote about things not particularly relevant to Fashion Loves People, but if you’re into social media, [...]

This music video is happiness defined! I want to live in this world forever.
I’m checking out more from Oren Lavie on lala.com as we speak.

My brother is planning a trip to NYC and just sent me a link to the Hudson Hotel in Hell’s Kitchen. I checked out the “visual tour,” and the interiors are blowing me away. Designed by Phillippe Starck and Ian Schrager and opened back in 2000, the Hudson’s look accomplishes exactly the pairing of ornamented [...]
