First, I saw them on The Sartorialist.
I sent the link to Heather, who’s helping me design Fashion Loves People — note the heart pin in my header, above. (Albeit much more rudimentary, we’re playing with the idea of making this my “thing.” Like pink ribbons.)
I initially thought these guys were some of the Sartorialist’s random […]

On this blog, I have been an advocate of H&M’s, in support of the transparency they show on labor rights and environmental efforts. In this world, genuineness and transparency are everything. However, H&M will never be anything but “fast fashion” — low-priced garments that will last anywhere from one wash to a few […]
Apparently it’s pure science, friends. A “perception expert” in the UK reports findings that horizontal stripes are more slimming than vertical. “Horizontal stripes don’t make you look fat. The one wearing the vertical stripes (as compared in the study) looks wider than the one wearing the horizontal stripes. Horizontal stripes, if anything, make you look […]
It’s called “Afrika,” comes in red+black and white+black as a tube dress, high-waisted leggings, a headband or a tube bra, and none of the above is over $34. A beautiful new addition.
Quoting The New York Times via Daring Fireball:
“Switching to wine in a box for the 97 percent of wines that are made to be consumed within a year would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about two million tons, or the equivalent of retiring 400,000 cars.”
I’m convinced… and it didn’t take me long to find box […]
You’ve felt it coming on for a while now — it’s a DIY day! A trip to your local craft store, and voila, you’re so in. Shop for any combination of:
+ Leather cord
+ Suede strips
+ Feathers (for the wing clusters, this may take a trip to an antique mall)
+ Seed beads / Metal beads […]
It’s hard to turn a corner without running into some kind of advocacy against the genocide in Darfur. God bless our collective conscience, right? Public Library designed these tees for Urban Outfitters, from which $5 of the $28 price goes to savedarfur.org. (Of course, you can also donate directly to the cause on the Save […]
I saw U2 in 2002 on their Elevation tour, and I must say that one of my biggest take-aways of the night was that Bono is a DORK. (Affectionately!) He gives himself emotionally to his music and his crowds, and while Thom Yorke and Chris Martin somehow do this really attractively… Bono doesn’t.
But as […]
The countdown is on — only four days left to grab your Rogan for Target separates. Since I’ve been wearing mine for a few weeks now, I wanted to write a follow-up post not only to let you know about clearance prices across the line, but also about the materials themselves. (And, of course, the […]
Flipping through an old journal from my mid-teens a few years ago, I found a one-liner that I haven’t been able to forget since:
“Save the shoe repairmen.”
I love the concept of the lone craftsman working away in a dusty shop at his ages-old trade. (Just call me a romantic.) With planned obsolescence designed into way […]
One of the hotties at Eco Chick gives us the dish on this soy-based polish remover by Priti. Sounds very promising. The 4 oz. bottle runs $22.50 at beautyhabit.com.
Yes, the rumors are true… I will be appearing in Kansas City’s West Eighteenth Street Fashion Show on June 14. I must admit that I’m being quite sheepish to make any sort of formal “announcement” of this, but I am flattered and honored to have been invited to model for Bon Bon Atelier. The eighth-annual […]
