reusable bag princess

I insist on using as little plastic as possible.  Our trips to the grocery store ALWAYS end in a death glare from the bf over my insistence to pile 4 bags of groceries into one plastic grocery bag.  Without fail it always snaps open as soon as you pick it up - although I secretly feel a little bit victorious if we make it at least half way to the parking lot before it snaps.  Short of lugging around reusable bags  (I ALWAYS FORGET) at least I'm attempting my part for the environment!

Amit Ayalon, aspiring fashion and costume designer, came up with this wonderful fabric bag design. 

Reusable bags turned couture. 

Just another great reason to ditch those plastic bags!

Whos the bigger DB?

I read an article the other day, about Abercrombie & Fitch's 'upset' that Mike 'The Situation' from Jersey Shore rocks their clothing.  They do not want to be tied to him in any way and have even actually offered to pay him major $$$$ to stop wearing their label altogether.  The entire article annoyed me.  For the record, while I think Mike is a total DB, as a brand you have to appreciate that publicity is publicity and a dollar is a dollar.  Abercrombie peeps don't want to be associated with Jersey Shore....HOWEVER I am going to go ahead and say that the other people already rocking Abercrombie & Fitch already look like DB's - so what's the diff anyway?  

Abercrombie & Fitch, don't act like you're better than your customers, regardless of who they are.  

Give me a break.  They are sweat pants.

I don't want to be cool I want to be fashion

Anna Dello Russo.

This fashion maniac has climate control in her apartments strictly to protect her clothing. 

Never wears the same thing twice.

Is the editor and creative cosultant for Vogue Japan.

Changes 2-3 times a day. 

But wears low key sweats when she's chilling at home just like any other girl.

And even tho I want to - I'm going to stop short of calling her the

Jesus of fashion. 

Prepare yourself for amazement.  Her blog HERE

Until We Bleed - Kleerup w/Lykke Li

Jaimee + Avi

Anyway I think I met him in the sky
When I was a Geisha he was a Samarai
Somehow I understood him when he spoke thai
Never spoke lies and he never broke fly
S on my chest let me get my cape on
With a certificate that I changed my name on
Na Na Na name on
With a certificate that I changed my name on

Engagement photos are frightening.  

I immediately think awkward....typical...posing...que train track or graffiti shots.  

Then along came Chad and Erin from Fuller Edge.  

I love that they are a husband and wife photog team and they are not only super sweet ... their work is anything but typical.  

I love the photos.  And I love Avi.

AMAZE.
