Check out these fabulous sites that demonstrate how a little time and a whole lot of creativity can make a difference in the environment.
1. The BBC Thread. This is what eco-friendly fashion is all about. It's creative, chic, and smart. The video called "Konnie Goes Vintage" is awesome. The BBC Thread is not updated as frequently as I would like, but it's definitely worth the wait!

2. Michelle Kaufmann's simple yet innovative ideas on how to make your life as eco-friendly as possible. Her youtube videos are fun and quirky. Check out her video on how to make a basket out of the wire used in notebooks...SO COOL!

3. Urban Renewal is an exclusive brand to Urban Outfitters. They don't have a huge selection, but the pieces are truly one of a kind. Some of their pieces are made with men's shirts, vintage T-shirts, and even use old sheets! Check out their flippy floral skirt (made from remnant floral fabrics), and the surplus shirt jacket (made from a variety of vintage pieces (which means each one is 100% unique!)

4. Swap Style is the place to go for some guilt free shopping. It's basically an online swap party. Membership is free and sometimes people post things without even wanting anything in return COME ON....HOW CAN YOU BEAT THAT!

5. Freecycle.org is a nonprofit site. You sign up for FREE and find your community. Each local group even has a local volunteer to facilitate the "freecycling." The idea of this site is to keep perfectly good stuff that people don't want from ending up in landfills.

Mini- Skinny
I just had to tell you that yesterday after I got my GYN test results (mild Dysplasia), I bought myself a new Coach mini skinny!!!
OMG- I am in love...It is the cutest little wallet holder ever and it's perfect for commuters since it fits right in jacket pockets and jean pockets!
Girl - get you to Coach and get your mini-skinny on. For $48 it's really a treat you can't miss.
And - well.... I might have something to include you in too...but...I'm waiting for budget approval. I'll keep you posted
