Don't panic, it's organic.

Blend Apparel, my latest obsession. An environmentally-conscious company with a "carpe diem" attitude. They produce organic cotton & bamboo t-shirts, brilliantly designed in a philosophical way. The quirky messages on the shirts are an inspiring new form of communication. The company's mission reads, "Our shirts encourage people to smile wider, look closer, and think broader." The iconography is thought-provoking and eye-catching. Now that's intelligent style.

Spread the love,

The Details in the Fabric

Alber Elbaz is on top of his game. Not surprising, but his S/S 2009 collection was something out of this world. The immaculate attention to detail put into each article of clothing, each shoe, each handbag, was nothing short of inspirational. Enough to make a girl go gaga. Someday, someday, I'll be living the Lanvinian Dream. Just not today, tomorrow, or come spring when I return to American with zilch in the bank account. Shucks. But until then, a girl can drool, I mean dream, can she not? The adorably bejeweled sunglasses were my favorite accessory. I can't wait to buy some cheap frames and jazz them up with a little Elbaz-inspired DIY action!

Footwear Fantasy

I'm totally thinking about buying some Docs. The aforementioned "nonexistent" florals have been found...at the DR. MARTENS WEBSITE (brain lapse, much?) I was so thrilled to stumble upon these lovelies...now just to find them! Hopefully when I go to Paris next week. I'm for sure taking a day to ditch my group and happily peruse the thrift stores by my lonesome. I'm also meeting up with a friend from high school, so I cannot wait! I'm so torn between these, those I think I prefer the black ones.

New Crush (sorry, Mraz!)

I'm temporarily breaking up with Jason because a man by the name of John Paul Gaultier stole my heart!
