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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

A Day for Men
I both love and dread Father’s Day. My dad’s such a cool guy: he went from a mechanic to a top sales guy, from teaching SCUBA diving to owning his own business, from childhood dreams to being a part-time cop who spends weekends at car shows…and he’s done it all by breaking the rules of [...]

Alternative Earth: 15% off Through May 3
I love surprises. I had no idea Alternative Apparel had put their Alternative Earth collection (which features organic cotton, recycled polyester and non-toxic dyes) on sale until I logged into their website this morning looking for a new pair of shorts. (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 [...]

To Covet: Pretty in Pink
Take me to the ballet. James Perse Women’s Recycled Cotton Boxy Tee In Cherry Blossom: $105 Eco: made with 30% recycled cotton If there’s one staple that is absolutely required in my summer wardrobe this year, it’s soft fabrics tinted the slightest, palest pink. Along with being utterly feminine, pink also adds just a hint [...]

New Eco-Markdowns, For Men & Women, at Tobi.com
All I can say today is: Mmm, shopping. I’m not sure why, but I’m definitely in “buy new stuff” mode, and keep having to review my personal wish lists to remind myself that not every great deal is worth giving up that new loveseat I want. Or is it? Prairie Underground Town Coat: $326 $195 [...]
