To Covet: Going Grey…as a Neutral
Sometimes, “covet” isn’t a strong enough word to suggest the impression a trend, or an untrendy “fashion idea,” has made on me.
For the past few weeks, I’ve been obsessed with the color grey.
Maybe I’m just copying Elle (who stopped wearing color for a few months in 2009), or maybe I’m exemplifying a subdued time in [...]

Ethical Designer Profile: Beyond Skin
Exhibit A: Gorgeous grey pump (the Opal). Stats:

Has a wickedly-curved 3.5-inch heel;
Is soft-looking enough for the office, but would dominate at happy hour; and
Is made entirely of sustainable materials.
Exhibit B: Cuffed bootie, aptly titled the Hendrix Boot.Stats:
Comes in black and brown (pictured), the latter of which is perfect [...]

Beautiful, Dirty, Rich
You know what I’m really, really into right now? Things that don’t go together. Not in the “stripes and plaid” way – or the “eighties and anything else please stop with the eighties” way…more in the “casually glamorous” way.
It’s about being feminine and pretty, but still tough enough to get grit under your nails:
Tee shirts [...]

Sustainable Sales: 25% Off at Tobi.com
I hate it when marketing works on me.
Online boutique Tobi sent me an email this morning, telling me to “get caught under the mistletoe in something extra special” by using their 25% off coupon code – CAUGHT25 – to buy some sort of pretty, romantic holiday wear. So, of course, my mind drifted off to a movie-like [...]

Flesh It Out: Vegan Boots for Women
If you say a word, over and over, eventually it starts to sound less like a word, and more like amusement.
Boots. Boots. Boots.
This past weekend, I was playing around on Endless.com, which has been adding more and more eco-conscious shoe designers to its arsenal, and saw the word “boot” so many times that it started [...]

In the Season of the Selfless
It started early this year.
After spending tons of time and energy making a list, brainstorming ideas, and shopping for other people’s holiday gifts, I get…selfish. I know, it’s horrible, but after looking online for stuff everyone else will (hopefully) like, how can I not come across stuff that I like?
So, of course, since I started [...]

Give Me Rain, Give Me Snow
Today’s post at The Demoiselles features warm, cozy sweater dresses, and as per usual, there were a few eco-conscious pieces buried in the poly blends…
Elle (my best friend, business partner and budget blogger at Broke & Beautiful) found this Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Long Navajo Sweater Dress…which is all kinds of amazing. [...]

Flesh It Out: Vegan Dress Shoes for Men
When it comes to shoes, men have always gotten the short end of the aesthetic stick. Women’s shoe designers take more risks, use a greater variety in materials, and have been given much more creative license for as long as fashion has been celebrated – especially in Western society.
The “conscious shopping” craze has catered to [...]

To Covet: Edouard Manet Black Patent Peeptoe Platform Wedges
Occasionally, I like to post things that I just plain want – and can’t 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.
They’re not vintage, and they’re not original, but they are hand-painted, [...]
