Aquired Aesthetics: Matt & Nat Vegan Leather Wallet

Written on August 31, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

A couple of weeks ago – before I found out that I’ve got money to save for moving deposits (ugh) – I picked up a vegan leather wallet by MATT & NAT from Gilt.com.  In case you missed the sale, here are the specs: “Black vegan leather wallet with 100% recycled grey nylon lining, tone [...]

What About Wednesday: Holding On To Stones

Written on August 26, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

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.   Nine things I like to remember when I’m stressed out and overwhelmed: Sometimes, it’s just not fair.  I can either stomp my [...]

Sustainable Sales: EDUN End of Summer Sale

Written on August 24, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

As any longtime fashion girl knows, summer clothes can easily transition into autumn.  A pair of tights, a well-placed scarf, a cropped jacket – any of these can take a sleeveless shirt or gauzy dress from breezy and cool to textured and cozy. That’s why Edun’s end of summer sale is a goldmine.  Through August [...]

Got it?  Okay. Now look at the listed exfoliant, or “scrubbing” ingredient.  Some of you won’t be able to find [...]
