You Too Can Be an Eco-Fly Girl

Monday, December 31st, 2007

I always start my New Year’s resolutions in December. This way when January rolls around I’m already well into adapting my new habits.

This New Year I’m dedicated to ramping up my green efforts. And that includes wearing more organic and eco-friendly clothing.

If you’re down for supporting the cause, then Passenger Pigeon presents a collection filled with organic cotton, hemp and even tencel (a fully biodegradable fabric).

Clean lines, cute and earth friendly - more power to the Passenger Pigeon people!

Lacy, But Not Racy

Monday, August 6th, 2007

First off, sorry for the brief hiatus. I just completed my move to NYC.

(Aaaah… the sound of traffic at night is like chicken soup for the city lovers soul.)

I love it here. Although my first priority is 3-4 pairs of cute walking shoes. The concrete jungle can be murder on one’s feet! Especially since I’ve been driving in a golf cart all summer long.

Speaking of golf carts, today’s featured evening attire is very country club soiree chic.

All of these dresses can be found at Conversation Pieces - a sweet little online store featuring assorted gear by independent designers. And all of them are under $60 - making them extremely ’shop till you drop’ friendly.

Bless The Dress

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Every since I began this all dresses and skirts campaign, I have to say that:

  1. Skirts and dresses nicely accentuate my posterior (Although it could have something to do with all the rice and beans I’ve been eating lately).
  2. Dressing in dresses makes me feel sexy. Sexier than I’ve ever felt in a pair of skinny jeans. Skirts make you do a sexier swagger.
  3. Skirts and dresses that look really good on me can often be hard to find.

A commitment to dressing in dresses means that I’m always on the hunt for something cute. Not too long, but not micro mini either. I’m more of cleavage gal anyway.

Joia Style is first on my online checklist for foxy dresses. They’ll fill your closet with a smokin’ collection of dresses from several independent designers. Plus they carry several custom made pieces.

Silky Smooth is My Name

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

There’s nothing like a silky dress against your skin in the summertime.

There’s a certain richness about. A silk dress prompts you to pull out your good jewelry, and sashay around town with your 3 inch sex kitten sandals.

(Just make sure you hit the shoemaker first. Nothing says ‘amateur hour’ like tick-tick-tick-tick sandals that need heel tips.)

If you haven’t met your silk dress requirement for the season, then definitely check out the Bilingual line sold at Maneater Threads.

You can’t go wrong with that shirt dress, a piƱa colada, and a cute significant other on your arm.

So You Wanna Be a Rock Star Debutante

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

My five-year old is a rock star debutante. Nothing gets her more into air guitar mode than a rift from Prince (she’s more into the Revolution days).

And she adores the Red Hot Chili Peppers. (Can you blame her?)

She told me that Venni Caprice’s line reminds her of a rock star debutante. (Which is what I call her when she’s rockin’ out.)

I’m digging Venni Caprice’s line because it’s curve fitting, but not overwhelming. (I’m past the painted on look. Shit… I gotta hide my Victoria Secrets girdle!)

It has that California girl look. Very fun for the summer.
