Eco-Friendly Fashion by Kaight
I recently had the pleasure of meeting the owner of KAIGHT an eco-friendly clothing and accessories store in New York City. It was so exciting to visit a place where fashion is not only eco-friendly but still fashionable! Kaight carries shoes, belts, swimsuits, reconstructed vintage dresses, the softest T-shirts you could ever imagine, vegetable based nail polish, jewelry, belts, etc, etc! If you are an eco-minded fashionista then it will be hard not to find something you like! Kaight even offers up a portion of her boutique to local artists and designer such as Pulp Lab and is constantly updating the merchandise. This means there is always something new to look at! Over the next few weeks, I am going to be writing about some of the products she carries as a way to start incorporating some eco-minded blogging into my site! Let me know what you think!!!

On Trend: Nude Shoes
One of the strongest trends for the new Spring 2010 season is color-related... or lack thereof! Neutral has made a BIG comeback this season when it comes to shoes. Nude pumps are actually not new on the red carpet, some of your favorite celebs already picked up this trend last season. And in case you didn't know, every version of Christian Louboutin's nude patent pump has sold out online amost immediately! From the Pigalle to the Décolleté!

Carl Pascuzzi at Design on a Dime
This past Thursday (May 6th), Carl Pascuzzi (www.edgewallcoverings.com) donated his creative talent to raise money for Housing Work's Design on a Dime event. This year marked Housing Works Thrift Shop's 6th Annual Design on a Dime fundraising event which kicked off with an Opening Night Reception at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City.

Lifestyle guru, Derek Warburton (DerkLovesShopping.com) was one of this year's designer and his aesthetic was inspired by Carl Pascuzzi's custom made wallpaper!
A Day in the Rain!
Good morning, New York. I see we have another couple of rainy days ahead of us so get out the umbrellas, rain gear and such! If you are anything like me you own a handful of such neccessities from last minute purchases from street vendors. I have a terrible habit of leaving my apartment with just enough time to catch my train which means no turning around and taking the elevator back up to the 14th floor...once I exit the lobby I must just pray that the weather holds up until I get wherever I am headed.
I am getting MUCH better at checking the weather before leaving my apartment. In Orlando (Florida) I never had this problem - it was always sunny with a midday thunderstorm in which everyone went inside.
Aaah...how I miss the simplicities!
