Laurie David, I Presume?
Laurie David is everywhere these days. And that’s not hyperbole. She’s omnipresent in the green world, from a huge profile in Vogue’s March “Power” issue, to Women’s Wear Daily, to another profile in Elle (which I’m guessing led to her guest-editing the upcoming May “Green” Elle, printed on 10% recyled stock).

KTK Handmade
I have been a bag-lady for a long time. Often disappointed with the offerings at most retailers, I tend to look for more original pieces than the ususal fare. On a women’s camping trip I attended five years ago I met Kerrigan Kessler, a talented designer who was carrying a…
Mapu in Barcelona
Mapu, with its wide-ranging array of organic and biologic products, and focus on mother´s and women, is a must-stop spot for the environmentally minded eco-chick tourist while in Barcelona. Mapu is tucked away in the maze-like Bari Gotic — the old quarter of Barcelona. If you weren’t looking for…
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…
