What About Wednesday: We Interrupt…
September 30, 2009
…your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a post about my brand new hair cut (along with some thoughts on what hair means to a woman of the 21st century). It’s over at The Demoiselles, so go check it out! Within the next week or so, I’ll be waxing Awakened on how to consciously shop [...]
To Covet: The Exotic Peacock
September 29, 2009
Occasionally, I like to post things that I just plain want – and probably won’t ever buy. Ergo, the semi-regular To Covet: a category that shows one thing that I’ve been coveting, but really can’t afford…or have no space for…or just plain shouldn’t buy for one reason or another. The Exotic Peacock: $89.95 “I wove this wreath [...]
Awakened Aesthetic is Staying Right Here!
September 28, 2009
…but I’m moving throughout the week, which means posts might be a little lackluster. Don’t fret, though! Great posts are in the works: men’s vegan shoes, some gorgeous organic designers, great fall sales and even a giveaway or two are all on the way. Stay connected and we’ll be back in full swing very soon!
Aquired Aesthetics: Maris Naturals
September 24, 2009
I am obsessed with shower gel. Don’t get me wrong, I love bar soap, but there’s nothing like the pre-bottled liquid goodness of a body wash. It doesn’t melt on your soap dish, is less likely to get hair caught in it, and is way easier to travel with. The trouble, though, is finding the [...]
What About Wednesday: Revised
September 23, 2009
I get daily Notes from the Universe sent to my personal email. They’re often a boost of positive energy and inspiration on my “off” days, and since I only receive five per week, they’re never a burden on my inbox. However, what they sometimes are is eerily accurate. Here’s my note, which I read after my [...]
What About Wednesday: The Starting Line
September 23, 2009
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. It’s like preparing for a race – the grueling physical training, the psychological psych-up, the shiny new running shoes – and, on [...]
Sustainable Sales: Whish (and more)
September 22, 2009
Almost every week, I find a new eco-friendly or otherwise sustainable Gilt.com sample sale to write about. I kind of love that. Today, starting at 9AM Pacific, Gilt will be ushering in a sample sale on Whish, a line of all natural bath and body products (including some bad-ass shaving cream). Also included in the [...]
Clothing for a Cause: The Samburu Project
September 21, 2009
You all know that I’m a big fan of fashion that has a greater purpose: eco-conscious brands, charitable collaborations, companies with a focus on social restructuring…so it’s no surprise that when I’m looking for new casual wear, I look for words like “a portion of the proceeds go to…” The Samburu Project has partnered with [...]
To Covet: Daisy Vase
September 18, 2009
Occasionally, I like to post things that I just plain want – and probably won’t ever buy. Ergo, the semi-regular To Covet: a category that shows one thing that I’ve been coveting, but really can’t afford…or have no space for…or just plain shouldn’t buy for one reason or another. Isn’t it stunning? Hard to believe it was made [...]
Links à la Mode: Beyond Fashion Week
September 17, 2009
Beyond Fashion Week Edited by Ashe Mischief There’s a certain amount of irony in the fact I edited this week’s Links a la Mode, as it’s New York Fashion Week– because it’s something I’ve never actually covered before. Style moves on– whether it’s fashion week or the holidays, or the worst day of your life, [...]
