Pour some SUGAR on me.
You can taste the salt of the sea in the hot, thick air of Mexico. Combine that with pulsing music, a dash of dance floor, a handfull of a hot-bottomed hunk and you got yourself one sensually sweet time. In Mexico last month, I danced like I never danced before with my lust-worthy albeit…
…a toast to Toast
So I’m blog-binging a bit on ethical and eco-fashions in the the U.K. b/c hell, there is so much to cover. In just 2 days while in London and 5 days in the middle-of-nowhere-but-god-its-beautiful-even-though-it-is-freezing-and-the-snow-is-“falling”-horizontally-weather-(aka Durham), I had the pleasure of picking up a myriad of different things to blog about.…
"Sustainability: the new self-satisfaction"
On March 7th, 2005, Financial Times writer Richard Tomkins reports that “Sex will sell but sustainability is the new self-satisfaction.” Though he opens up the editorial on Coco De Mer, he remarks that “it is not just sex that is getting sustainable.” He mentions Ethos Water (owned by Starbucks), which…
"Fairplay" in the Sack
(.)(.) Must be 18 years or older (or the equivalent to AA’s Dov Charney) to read this blog entry. (Caption: Meet Dov) According to the Kinsey Institute’s FAQ, 54% of men think about sex every day or several times a day, whereas only 20% of us women, on the other hand,…
A Barrage of Accessories from the Frontlines of Fashion
Vintage clothing and accessories have always been quite popular among certain fashionista crowds, but it’s definitely been building steam over the past few years. Perhaps it’s what the vintage piece conveys – which is a story behind each novelty product. Military vintage has become of great interest to me as of late, perhaps…
London is well-fashioned in many ways
The Crafts Council Gallery will be hosting a show that will house the U.K.’s small, albeit blossoming eco-fashion industry. Well Fashioned examines the various ways in which fashion designers approach ‘green’ fashion, from materials and processes to concepts and techniques. Some outfits use organic or alternative fabrics like hemp, bamboo,…
Fashionable Trend? Hair on the Legs?
Well…not quite. I don’t think hair on women’s legs was ever really in fashion at any given time, though traditional Europeans and hardcore treehuggers may beg to differ. Anyway, thought I might send this your way: Not 100% Merino wool, but close to it. StockinGirl has extended their Merino wool…
Liz Claiborne Loves Beaver!
When a company is owned by a man named Beaver and wife of Beaver, you know it’s going to be good. This past November, PrAna, the fast-growing maker of apparel for climbing, yoga and outdoor activities, was acquired by women’s wear giant, Liz Claiborne Inc. PrAna (did we mention that…
Nice Package!
Rawganique. They sell nice packages….err…organic underwear. I thought I’d put this image up, because aside from being frustrated, Valentine’s Day is nearly a month away. What best to get for your significant other than organic undies? Looks great on! But of course, look far better on the floor. (Speaking first…
Free Trade? Give it to me Fair, Straight Up
I must admit, after having come back from Hong Kong in the midst of World Trade talks and Fair Trade forays, I need to do a few posts dedicated to fair trade fashion. I came across equop, a fair trade cotton and indie artist fashion label while in Paris this…
