Jersey Girl

I was out and about this weekend and decided to pop into Intermix to check out their new Spring duds. I had seen the below Torn by Ronny Kobo skirt in the window and had not been too impressed. I needed to grab something quick though to try on with a top so I decided to give it a whirl. I was proven wrong! This skirt is amazing- a must for everyone. It is jersey so right off the bat, it is extremely comfortable. Plus, the pleating is incredibly flattering and shapes you in all the right places. For once I admit that sometimes you just do have to try things on...The skirt is available at Intermix or online at shopbop.com.

Lonny Mag- Issue 4 Highlights

Issue 4 of Lonny Mag is now online!  I was blown away by all of the amazing art showcased throughout. Some of my faves are below:

One piece that I will definitely be purchasing is the faux snakeskin tray from Global Table. It is perfect for piling jewelry and knick knacks. (p.s. LOVE the photo of the yellow shoes behind it- I would love to take everything below as a set!)

Issue 4 focuses on environmentally sustainable products and companies - there is a great selection of organic fabrics. Don't just be chic, be eco-chic!

Check out the article on West Elm on pg. 61 and the work they are putting into their green product line. Great store, great product and great for the earth! Now back to Lonny Mag...can't wait for issue 5!

A day without shoes - TOMS

Yesterday TOMS shoes asked everyone to go a day, a minute, an hour without shoes. TOMS has always been a company I love and find very inspiring. Founder, Blake Mycoskie, started TOMS after seeing children walking barefoot on the streets of Argentina amongst glass and garbage. He wanted to do more than just donate money and TOMS (Tomorrow's Shoes) was born. When you purchase a pair of TOMS a pair is also donated to a child in need. TOMS caught on as a fashion piece among celebrities without the company even gifting them (a real rarity!) and retailers followed. To date they have given away over 400,000 pairs of shoes in the 4 years since their launch.

Please view the video below highlighting their "one day without shoes" initiative and think about purchasing a pair of TOMS the next time you are in the market for shoes. At a $45 price point with a built in "feel good" factor, it's pretty hard to ignore. Plus, if stores like Bergdorf Goodman are working on exclusive designs for their stores they must be fashionable!

I Heart Lonny Mag

I have been anxiously awaiting the new issue of Lonny Mag and was head over heels to hear that their April/May issue will go live in 4 days! Lonny Mag is an online magazine devoted to home decor and style. They have mastered (as far as I have seen) the interactive, online magazine world. No more looking at awesome pieces in a magazine to be left wondering where you can buy them- Lonny Mag lets you roll your mouse over items you like and a pop up with product information and the option to link to buy appears. Genius!! I will definitely be posting on my favorite items from issue 4. In the meantime, if you have not already, check out issues 1-3. I promise you will be hooked... http://www.lonnymag.com/

Disclaimer: they really have perfected their technology since issue 1, so maybe start with issue 2 or 3. Happy reading!
