feeling good about feeling good

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

indigenouslongruffledcardiganIn addition to being comfy, cozy, and very effective at softening a work uniform, this hand-knit cardigan is made of organic cotton from an artisan network engaging in fair trade practices (see the Fair Trade Federation for more info).

Supporting fair trade is a good start; for more ways to do something about poverty right now, check out the resources at Blog Action Day.

mixing business with pleather

Monday, October 13th, 2008

kohlswoventoteI understand that plastique purses serve a purpose:  done well, they can offer the cheap, broke, and/or vegan an alternative to pricey leather bags.  But in practice, the pleather often reeks of, well, pleather.  Their vaguely chemically smell and rigid texture have disqualified them from my closet.

Until I scooped up this faux-woven bag from Kohl’s.  My new beloved is huge, slouchy, and odorless, which makes for an amazing work or school bag beyond its obvious “so what if it touches the disgusting subway floor because it only cost $13.50″ statement.

faux feathers

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

forever21featherwalletIf this dashing clutch wallet were covered in real peacock plumes, it would never be $7.50.  It would also get soggy in the rain, and probably itch your fingers. So we’ll count our blessings; namely, that this dashing clutch wallet is only $7.50.
