First Look: Loyale for Fall

image: loyale
Here’s a good look at the Fall lane from Loyale. I like the Fall collection because it’s much like Spun, it’s a great set of basics to build off of. Loyale is going to good places here.
This is a good tunic and would go well with a pair of skinny jeans or leggings (just […]

Veggie: Imitation Leather Jacket

Better than a leather motorcycle jacket, grab this imitation leather jacket from Anastasia Lomonova.
Leather can be eco-friendly, especially if it’s recycled or tanned using eco-friendly methods. If you’re dying for a leather jacket, your best option is to buy vintage. But if you’re trying to rid your life of leather, this jacket if perfect.
It’s […]

Clothes Storage: What’s Greener?

I’m in the middle of a move right now. Everyone loves sleeping on the floor for a few weeks, right?
I just found a new apartment, so now I’m debating how to store all my clothes. I had a big walk-in before, but now my closet is a little smaller.

Tom’s Wrap Boot

We already know that I love m Tom’s shoes.
Then I saw that for fall, Tom’s has boots. Boots, wrap boots. I’m not sure if you actually wrap around your leg or if you pull them on.
If they’re anywhere near as comfortable as the normal Tom’s are, I’m all over them. I would hope the soles […]

Oh man. It’s almost jacket season and jackets are my favorite!
I want a motorcycle jacket, a satin jacket and anything else I can find that’s awesome.

Chic Designer: Popomomo

I really like saying Popomomo, the name of this cute sustainable brand.
Po. Po. Mo. Mo. Isn’t it fun?
Anyway, Popomomo stands for post-modern movement, which is the inspiration for designer Lizz Wasserman. Lizz has worked for Urban Outfiters and Free People, which is definitely evident in her designs. They’re a little hippie, but also more […]
