Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you’ve heard about the new Great Gatsby movie. Whether you’re jazzed about Baz Luhrmann’s newest creation or, like Fitzergerald himself, are disillusioned by the Jazz Age as a whole, you can be sure that this movie is going to make a statement in and out of theaters. From what I’ve seen walking down Boston’s famous Newbury Street, the fashion of the twenties will be roaring into everyone’s wardrobes this season. Continue reading →

Fashion Friday: I’m in Love with Lush

lindsay, April 19, 2013
It's like a bar of soap...but for your hair!

I usually pride myself on being the anti-hipster. I don’t mind being behind the times. I walk to the beat of my own drummer, and the two of get distracted easily. Still, I’m pretty embarrassed that I am only now jumping on the Lush bandwagon.

I had known about Lush for a while. I have tons of friends who are hopelessly devoted to at least one of their many amazing products. I, however, didn’t see a need for any of Lush’s natural soaps, hair products, lotions, or cosmetics until recently. (What was I thinking?) Continue reading →

I don’t wanna say that I called it, but I called it. The term “vegan” has been used to describe to describe “faux-leather,” and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Of course, these items have always been vegan, but the fact that they are beginning to be labeled as such shows the progress the concept of veganism has made in modern American society. Not only are we integrating veganism into our discussions about food, but we’re increasing awareness of it in our clothes. Continue reading →

Freecycles can be as a simple as a small gathering of friends swapping clothes to an entire neighborhood trading appliances, tools, books, and pretty much anything else you can think of. If multiple communities across the country did this on a fairly regular basis, we could seriously decrease the waste in landfills, not to mention get some cute new outfits out of the bargain… Continue reading →

Fashion Friday: Going Green on the Red Carpet

85th Academy Awards - Press Room

Let’s be real, unless you’re a film aficionado you’ve probably only seen a few of the films (and one of them was definitely Les Miserables). Unsurprisingly, many people’s great interest in the Oscars has nothing to do with the actual performers, but what they are wearing. Oscar fashion has certainly evolved over the past 85(!) years, and this year we got to see vegan and ec0-friendly trends take center stage. Continue reading →

Fashion Friday: Spring into Style 2013

spring fashion-2013

As a result of the owl and mustache fashion fads of the past few years, I have developed an idiosyncratic system to express my opinion about certain fashion trends. Most people say that they are “over” something when they don’t like it, but I like use the converse as well. If I like something, I’m “under” it. As far as I know, I’m the only weirdo who explains my likes and dislikes this way, and now it’s time to weigh in on the fashion trends of Spring 2013. Continue reading →
