So, I’ve written about H&M several times on this blog. The Swedish clothing retailer is pretty much the IKEA of fashion- they produce high-style clothing at ultra-low prices.
My beef with them has to do with the time they threw out unsold clothing instead of donating it, and their ultra-low prices on disposable clothing. Today, though, [...]

Growing up on a southern farm, I’ve known and loved many cowboy boots. My current pair of Dingos (which I leave at my dad’s house for when I visit) are caked with mud and scarred with scratches. I even fought a forest fire in those boots. They’re like old friends.
But they’re not exactly the kind [...]

Ok, you’re walking down a busy street in New York City. Of course, you have no way of knowing if the air is polluted or now. How could you?

First of all, I’m well aware that it’s still January. And, being in Michigan, I know I’m staring at snow out my office window, and chattering my teeth at there mere thought of going outside (as I write this, it’s 10 degrees).
So why, might you ask, am I even daring to allow the word “Spring” [...]

You’d think that if you were married to a handsome, award-winning movie star and you were going to a premier of his movie in Paris, you’d be wearing a brand new, top designer dress. At least, that’s what most people would do.
I’m happy to share the awesome story of Livia Firth, who is the wife [...]

Wouldn’t it be super cool if we could buy a pair of shoes and make a microloan to people in the Gulf who were affected by the BP Oil Spill?
Oh wait…we can!
Sometime in early 2011 (I haven’t been able to find an actual release date yet) Keen is going to release their Santiago shoe. This [...]

Do you have a sweater that you’re not so crazy about anymore? Or perhaps it’s too small, or too big, or too ratty to grace your shoulders.
I have several sweaters like that currently hanging in my closet. Normally I just donate them, but I started wondering…what else could I do with them?

I’m a big fan of denim skirts. I practically live in them during the summer months, pairing them with my trust Converse shoes and a breezy t-shirt.
