In My Prius!!!

 Thank you Casual Mafia....

Shoe-of-the-day: hand-painted pumps

I always wonder how 'hand-painted' wears with shoes.... but I do like the design of these from one of my favorite places to 'shop' - Etsy.

Shoe-of-the-day: Alexandra Neel

NEED. NOW.
These Alexandra Neel heels are gorgeous!

It's about time NC - smoking is Disgusting!

Beginning in January, smoking in restaurants and most bars in North Carolina will be illegal.

Perdue signs NC smoking ban


I could care less about 'government imposed restrictions' and 'loss of freedom' and all of the BS that's been spouted about this subject. I am generally a logical person, but not on this. Smoking stinks, it's disgusting, and it kills. I wish they would ban it from the planet. But this is a good start.
 

Shoe-of-the-day: Sole Rebels

So I don't really like flip-flops. But I was thinking about California (I am visiting there soon)... and actually maybe getting some sleep and not having anything technically planned for a full day. These flip flops seem to compliment those ideas. And soleRebels is based out of a village in Ethiopia and 'produces the finest artisan-crafted footwear using only eco-sensible materials'.

Not an Oprah fan

I, for one, am not one of those who thinks everything Oprah says and does is golden. I don't even really think she's a particularly good talk show host. But apparently a large portion of the country does listen to this woman's endless chatter as was evidenced by the ridiculous promotion of KFC she recently mentioned on her show that caused a rush (and near riots according to some) of people to the chain restaurant.

The stupidest part of it all (that you'll read if you clicked on the above link) is that she had just had a show detailing the 'dark side of chicken factory farming'. Ahh hypocritical celebrities, how you are loved in America.

Shoe-of-the-day: Hetty Rose

Every single pair of shoes on the Hetty Rose site could be my pick for shoe-of-the-day. They're gorgeous and beautifully made - from vintage kimono fabric, no less! At some point in my life I would love to have a pair of shoes handmade just for me. One day.....

Project Earth Day 2009

A lot of you may know one major reason that I got involved in planning Redress Raleigh was b/c NYC EGB has a great eco-fashion show- Project Earth Day. (Pic above from a great article on Inhabitat.) It's pretty amazing... they have both a student comp. and designer comp. And I'm totally in love with this dress. It should be in my closet.  

Shoe-of-the-day: Mustard yellow!

To counteract some of the darker posts I've had recently (and to try to get back to posting more eco-friendly options) I was looking for something sunny, and this mustard yellow pump from Vegan Chic is pretty much perfect.

Shoe-of-the-day

I'm not feeling very 'save the world, love the animals' today, hence the Casadei 3 1/2" heel snakeskin bootie (via FootCandy).
