STYLE SNAPS : STYLE ME SILLY!

That's me, jumping on the bed, in a Dalia McPhee dress with a lampshade

This weekend warranted a break from the sights and sounds of NYC. Trading noise for Nature, I booked a yurt for one night, rented a car and grabbed my honey... Oh, and I brought along one of the "too good to pass up" sale dresses I never wore. What better occasion than a weekend in the woods (of the Catskill Mountains) to break out a fancy frock and stage a photo shoot. Have a look and let me know what you think! 

Style Snaps : Styled Sustainability

Ekocycle graphics on 5th Avenue

Graphics wrapped around the Coca Cola building on Fifth Avenue purposefully promote products made from recycled bottles and cans. United under the slogan Let's Make More With What We Have, the Coca-Cola Company and recording artist will.i.am collaborated to form Ekocycle, an independent brand focused on "helping consumers recognize that items they consider waste today may be part of a lifestyle product they cause use tomorrow" (Coca-Cola 2011 press release). Since inception in 2011, Ekocycle has partnered with Dr. Dre on headphones, Case-Mate on smartphone cases, New Era on caps and most recently Levi Strauss on jeans (available April 2013). It's always nice to see charitable corporations wading into the fashion world--and trying to do it stylishly and sustainably.
