The green movement just got a little bit trashier, and it’s a good thing! Jean-Pierre Veillet, a project designer from Portland, Ore., plans to design his store space with materials found in New York City’s waste according to a recent article in the New York Times. Fallen tree limbs, old factory pipes and thrown out cardboard boxes will be used to create clothing racks and wall displays. The store, called Here/Nau/NYC, will open Nov. 12, carrying eco-friendly products from brands like Timber... Read Full Story

Did you know that the average American woman wears a size 14 and weighs around 160 pounds? It’s interesting too since the average size sold in stores is a 6 or an 8. Many high-end designers refuse to create garments for plus sizes, but luckily more stores are starting to cater to the average woman’s needs. Fully Intimate is one of them. For all those curvaceous ladies out there, this new online store offers lingerie up to a size 6X. They also carry some of my favorite brands of l... Read Full Story

Sick of the same look? Then start with your hair! Getting a haircut is the easiest way to get a fresh start this season.

Halloween is in the air, and although it’s still two weeks away, there are plenty of ways to celebrate in style, especially with the skull trend.

America’s favorite cartoon mom is posing for Playboy. The Oct. 16 issue of the magazine will feature Marge Simpson on the cover, along with a complete data sheet, an interview and a 2-page centerfold. This is the first time that Playboy has ever featured a cartoon character, and they claim it’s still “very, very racy,” according to the Associated Press. Because the show is celebrating its 20th anniversary, the magazine’s editors thought it would be a good way to appeal to a younger, 20-someth... Read Full Story

Lindsay Lohan managed to shock the public, yet again, but this time she wasn’t drunk — at least there’s no evidence of that. Ever since she was hired as artistic adviser of the French label, Emanuel Ungaro, there has been little confidence in the never-known-to-be-stylish actress. The Emanuel Ungaro show on Sunday at Paris Fashion Week proved why. Designer Estrella Archs, under Lohan’s advice, definitely took the wearing lingerie as outerwear trend way too far. While wearing sequined pastie... Read Full Story

As you all may know by now, I love eco-friendly bags. They offer sustainability and are, most importantly, chemical free. However, some people don’t like them because they aren’t always considered high-end fashion. That’s why I wanted to introduce everyone to Vegan Queen. This label is the beginning of eco-luxury. Their bags still look like leather but are made out of natural, organic material known as “vegetable leather”, which is basically natural rubber. Any plastics on the bags are eco-... Read Full Story

It’s officially autumn! I even saw some pumpkins at the grocery store the other day, so I felt like I was finally allowed to talk about my favorite holiday: Halloween. Nothing’s more fun than getting dressed up in a wig, and intricate make-up and fooling everyone into believing your Marilyn Monroe or Marilyn Manson. Because of all the True Blood and Twilight hype, I expect to see a lot of vampires this year. But go with something more original. I already have some ideas flowing thanks to the ... Read Full Story
