How green is your fashion??

I always get a chuckle reading fashion articles giving advice on buying green.
Especially “vegan” purses. That’s code for plastic which is a petroleum product!
There is nothing more green than buying vintage!!!!
When you shop at my store you not only get good prices, you are shopping locally.
Everything we purchase that has been previously owned is less to go to the landfill.
We live in a throw away society and unfortunetly we often throw away the baby with the bathwater as the old saying goes.
We vintage shoppers know a little secret. It is MUCH better to wear real vintage cashmere and silk and designer duds from shops like mine then the latest offerings from the big box stores where everything comes from China. (ya’ll know which stores I’m picking on!”)
So save money, have your own fashion style and be about as green as you can be! Your friends will be green with envy when they see the cool vintage clothing and jewelry you are stylin’.

Cool things on the internet

Time sure flies when I start looking at fashion on the internet! My Elle magazine came today and I checked out their website, elle.com

That website is so cool. My favorite feature is the videos where they check out the “most stylish women on the street” in NYC. The best part was the women almost always were wearing several vintage items! They looked great.

Then I lost all track of time watching a video of Betsey Johnson’s 2009 Spring collection fashion show. WOW!! I love Betsey because she doesn’t follow fashion trends but always follows her own vision. She is also a role model too, since at age 60, or there abouts, she refuses to be heaped on the matronly mumu wagon and sports leopard prints and pink hair. Gotta love that!
