To Covet: Cold Comfort
On August 20, my boyfriend went into surgery to have his wisdom teeth removed. Today is August 30, and he’s going back to the oral surgeon for the fourth time to see if his body’s ready to heal, or if his lower jaw is still having a party to which everyone is invited. Our fridge [...]

Vicarious by Nature: Fall 2010 Lookbook
Shortly after I posted images from Vicarious by Nature‘s Spring ’10 lookbook, I was directed to their newly posted Fall ’10 selection. It’s flawless. There’s a certain beauty to this season’s trends: the muted colors are a welcome break from all that summer neon, and our senses are instead drawn to rich textures and odd [...]

To Covet: The Comfortable Bad-Ass
I honestly can’t remember who found Black Market Baby first: me, who has had them on my Etsy favorites list since time immemorial, or Lindsay, who posted about them last month and has been following them by RSS. (I never keep up with my RSS. Does that make me a bad blogger?) Maybe it was [...]

To Covet: Follow Your Bliss
I so rarely hear about failed pursuits of happiness. Birch Bark Necklace Cluster: $89 People who follow their bliss, who take chances, seem so much more content, less worried, than the rest of us. Blue Peony Dishtowels: $20 They don’t mind life’s setbacks, or worry when their bliss isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. [...]

Vicarious By Nature is Anything But Basic
I have to say, VbN, you had me worried. When I first perused your Spring 2010 Lookbook (I know, I’m late) I was a little nervous. I saw a lot of basics, and girls without pants. Could my favorite organic brand be falling in line with companies like American Apparel, using bare hardwood floors, blank [...]

Flesh It Out: The Leather Conundrom & Vintage Boots
Leather boots are in. Like, really in. For some of us, that poses a problem…the “it’s made out of cow” problem. There are a lot of things that can be made out of fake leather and still look respectable, but one thing that’s really hard to replicate is that “worn leather” look. Worn leather creases…and [...]

Swimwear 101: Eco Bikinis Under $100
I decided I need a bikini this year. From the outset, I’d completely brushed off the idea of finding an eco-friendly bikini that (a) fit, and (b) cost less than $150. Why? Because as readers of The Demoiselles have seen, my measurements don’t conform to any standard sizing guide. Bust: 38 inches…due to a 32DD [...]
