Filed under: Runway Trends, Fashion Week, Green Fashion

As fabulous as Fashion Week is, there is one downside -- it creates extra waste. However, Aveda is working to change that. For the third consecutive season, the environmentally-minded company is teaming up with major designers to reduce the environmental impact of their shows.

Designers partnering with Aveda are Rodarte, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Preen and Alexander Wang, all of which have taken these four eco-friendly steps:

All grown-ups were children first. (But few remember it). - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

We all need reminding every now and then, don't we? These cute, cute flats from Melissa will remind you not to take yourself too seriously and are also good for the earth (you may remember that the Little Prince took very good care of his planet!)

Party tricks: affordable supplies from Ikea

Filed under: Haute Home


The best advice we ever heard from Ted on Queer Eye was to get inexpensive wine glasses from Ikea instead of paper or plastic cups. It doesn't cost that much more -- in fact, over time it's actually less expensive -- and it's about a million times nicer to sip from glass than plastic. Not to mention the carbon footprint you're reducing by skipping the red keg cups.

A quick spin around Ikea reveals additional party supplies that are as affordable as disposable items, but give your party a more festive, grown up feel. From plates to cutlery to our favorite paper napkins, some of Ikea's best buys in the gallery.


Cool secret: Scunci plastic headbands

Filed under: Accessories, Hair Care


Our cross to bear is a tiny, pointy head. No amount of crying or squeezing or adjusting will make most of those cool $50 headbands, in tortoiseshell and grosgrain and satin sit right on our small noggin.

You'd think those neat-o, sporty, elastic headbands, the kind that are all narrow and stretchy would be the solution, but those slide off in a matter of seconds. Little barrettes and bobby pins have been our only bangs control options for years.

So, we were beyond thrilled to find, in the hair accessory aisle of our local Walgreen's, something that fit: Scunci plastic headbands.

Keeping it Simple

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Shoes, Vintage and Retro, Men, Kids and Babies, Style for a Cause, Green Fashion




Simply put, Simple brand shoes have always ruled, but their ecoSNEAKS and GreenToe (Green Piggies for the kiddies) lines are so fantastic that we feel a bit guilty wearing anything else.

Simple started out as a "stereotypical, anti-stereotype brand offering good shoes." They claim to have learned a few things along the way, and we are inclined to believe them. They say the biggest lesson thus far is this: "HOW we make our shoes is just as important as WHY we make them."

Team USA gets Ralph Lauren, New Zealand gets Crocs

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes


Can you think of anything more unfair? As we've already told you, Team USA will be sporting Ralph Lauren for the opening ceremony at the Beijing Olympics, and the New Zealand Olympians will be schlumping around in an official uniform that includes Crocs.

The women will be wearing the sueded "Alice" style for the opening ceremony, and then all the athletes will wear the ever-popular Beach model. The kicker with this is that Olympic chef de mission Dave Currie said the shoes would be "very stylish."

Wear a little kimono on your finger

Filed under: Accessories

kimono ringsYou might love the masterful artistry and gorgeous look of Japanese kimonos, but it's probably not very practical to wear a kimono. I can't imagine that they're all the comfortable, and I do know that they are quite expensive. However, you can still have the look of the hand-dyed fabrics with Kimono Rings.

The Kimono Ring is a piece of Kimono fabric encased in acrylic. The rings reaches just over a half-inch high in the center and is open in the back (to allow for flexible sizing). The rings are $16USD, available from The Carrot Box, which also has some beautiful carves plastic and lucite rings.
