If you want to read about How I Wear Eco Fashion, check out the brilliant Starre Vartan‘s interview with me on Eco-Chick. Lots of vintage, really old stuff and digging through racks at discount retailers…

I’ve never been called a Maverick Eye before, but I quite love that.

This is one of the featured outfits, from a sunny day a few weeks ago (where did that sun go?).

“I love shirt dresses, they fit my body really well and they’ll never go out of style. This one is from H&M. The shoes are from Pjux, a really great sustainable shoe company from Denmark. The fur coat is vintage, I bought it at a Salvation Army in Sweden over 10 years ago. I still love it. I would never buy anything new made from fur, but I think vintage is OK. The belt is also really old, rescued from my sister’s closet, she wore it when she was in 5th grade or something like that.”

This is me working in Hawaii.

This is me pretending to work in Hawaii. Or, maybe not, actually.

I miss the sunshine and sand between my toes. Two more months of winter in NYC… sigh.

I’m finally back in NYC after a looong (and very reluctant) journey back from Hawaii — just in time to catch Super Bowl XLV on TV. I was rooting for the Packers and thrilled to see them take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Gooo Packers!

Check out my “Holiday Gifts for the Urban Warrior” gift guide, published in Coco Eco Magazine (here) and on Goodlifer (here). It’s time to get shopping for those prezzies!

If anyone is wondering what to get me, a pair of those crystal & bullet earrings would not be a bad idea…

Heritage brands, waterless dyes, upcycling, zero-waste pattern-making and the rise of open-source collaboration — topics I touch of in this article I wrote for the latest issue of Coco Eco Magazine (download a pdf here). As usual, I have more to say than there is room in the magazine, so get the full version here.
