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 [...]

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 [...]

Giveaway: Eliza + Axel Flora Tee
Since I found her last year, Etsy designer Eliza – better known as ELIZA + AXEL – has been an inspiration to me. The epitome of eco-friendly, Eliza uses recycled materials to transform the common t-shirt into something far more interesting. These aren’t your typical screen-printed tees. They’re made using recycled embellishments, which are hand-sewn [...]

(These ones are adorable.) If you’re not inclined to read the above text from [...]

Alternatives to American Apparel
In my experience, when the average consumer finds out the truth about American Apparel – both the good and the bad – it tends to have a huge affect on them. Sometimes they react positively, to both the company’s immigration stance and its “Made in the USA” manufacturing practices, and make an effort to shop [...]
