Field of (Recycled Shoe) Dreams

UK artist Dominic Wilcox recently created a grassy field from over four hundred eco-friendly shoes at The London Design Festival. Sponsored by Terra Plana, the ethical shoe company, Wilcox applied a touch of gardening magic to the recycled shoe laces as they rose up in unison towards the window's light, creating a dazzling field of renewal.

The Perfect Accessory for your Holiday Party

It's never too early to start thinking about what you'll be wearing to all those holiday parties. From work soirees to family gatherings and nights out with friends, winter calendars fill up quickly with all kinds of events and excuses to get together and get dressed up. But this year, it's going to be more about understated elegance and a return to basics as women pinch pennies and opt for fashion and jewelry that is affordable as well as stylish. Some of the best (and least expensive) accessories for looking fab are cubic zirconia rings.
CZ rings are fun, flirty and festive for the holidays. They work well with cocktail attire like a LBD, velvet pantsuit or blouse and skirt combination. Cubic zirconia rings add a dab of color and spontaneity to any outfit, while not being too over the top, like some hard to wear trends. Plus, cubic zirconia rings are a welcome escape from other pieces of jewelry that might cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. What's great is that these CZ rings look almost identical to the real thing. Plus, with a budget friendly price tag, you might be able to afford more than one.

Our top picks of CZ rings for the up and coming holiday season include those that use bold color. Go for a ring set in gold tone and accented with a giant gem in red, green, blue or black. This is the perfect go-to accessory for an office Christmas party, a family gathering or a cocktail reception. CZ rings are great for dressing up an outfit and keeping your pocketbook in check. So plan ahead and start scooping up CZ jewelry for the season ahead. You'll get the best selection now, plus you can even start wearing these accessories right away.

Ariel Clay: The Fresh Face of Eco Style

I have to admit, I am definitely not one for beauty competitions or contests that rank fellow sustainalistas, but I have to speak up about Ariel Clay and her decision to compete in the upcoming Project Green Search competition.


I love and admire all that Ariel stands for when it comes to redefining our ideas about beauty and personal style. Her physical grace and wholesome look is as alluring as her mission to do good and live a holistic, creatively-infused life. Granted I am rather partial to Ariel's being from San Francisco, one of my absolute favorite towns, but it is Ariel's history of modeling for eco-conscious labels and outspoken causes, that really makes her a standout and perhaps sets her apart from the modeling wanna-be pack.



In addition to being gorgeous and discerningly smart, Ariel is passionate about Fair Trade and innovative development projects for craft production and trade. She currently works with green-minded companies and organizations in the Bay Area and also volunteers (sweating and weeding a lot) with the Golden Gate Parks Conservancy. An avid yoga practicioner, who has appeared on the pages of Yoga Journal, Ariel is also a big supporter of the arts as well as one of my favorite organizations, The Permacouture Institute.


I will be following Ariel's progress over the next few weeks and months, but if you want to learn more about her commitment to the future of true green style and environmentally-conscious outreach, read her profile here and visit her website here. You can also meet Ariel via her lovely video below. Just be your true self, Ariel, and you will be totally brilliant, on stage and off.

Danon Coupons Dannon Coupons

Danon Coupons Dannon Coupons

Okay, folks, the Danon coupon we have today is actually a DanActive coupons for $1.00 off any Danactive or Dan Active coupons light 4 pack. These don't say "do not double" so we're in business to get $2 off when they price them on sale for $2.29 at my local store. Thanks, Dannon for this Dannon yogurt coupon!

Printable Dannon coupons

(Printable Dannon coupons may not be valid at all locations)

Danon Coupons Dannon Coupons

Danon coupons are out pretty often and these Dannon Yogurt coupons are really, really helpful if you like yogurt. I would say that these coupons are the only reason I buy yogurt. I wouldn't pay $3.99 for a 4-pack, and I probably wouldn't pay $2.29 when they go on sale, but when I get a $1 coupon that doubles off of that 4-pack and I'm only paying $0.29, I think we'll be eating yogurt! :)

Thanks for looking, guys. This printable Dannon coupon 2009 expires October 31. We have some more yogurt coupons on the way too!

Ceca's Green Jewelry from Summer 2009

Printable Charmin Coupons

Printable Charmin Coupons

Here are some Printable Charmin toilet paper coupons. They expire at the end of September so you have to hurry and get these printable charmin coupons ready and use them! Personally, though, whenever I go to use a printable Charmin coupon at the store I'm always disappointed by the outrageous prices of Charmin to begin with! I shop mostly at Meijer, Walmart, and Kroger, and even though Kroger has double coupons, the $2 off (after doubling) Charmin toilet paper coupons just isn't enough to justify paying $6 for toilet paper!

(Printed coupon may not be valid at all locations)

Printable Charmin Coupons

And, the bottom coupon shouldn't even qualify for a printable Charmin coupons as I said it would, actually, it's a Bounty coupon. This Bounty paper towel coupon is for $1 off when you buy two rolls of Bounty paper towels. That seems like a good deal, but just like the Charmin I mentioned above, it's not too much incentive to buy because Bounty costs so much per roll. Oh well, just because I personally don't think these coupons are valuable doesn't mean they won't be of some use to you. Thanks for looking and we'll try to get some better ones up next time!

Old Spice Coupons

Old Spice Coupons

Hi! Today we have some coupons for the men! (Yes, yes, I know, they have too much pride to be shopping with coupons, but, we'll do it for them...and spend the extra on us!)

The Old Spice Coupons we have for you today are $1.00, which is pretty darn good if you ask me, but if you look closely on the Old Spice coupon you'll see that you have to buy two (2) sticks of deodorant to get the refund. C'mon, Old Spice, isn't this being a little stingy?

Printable Old Spice Coupons

(Printing on home printer may not be valid at all locations)

Old Spice Coupons

The top Old Spice deodorant coupon, though a bit stingy on Old Spice's part, is at least useful, especially if we use it after it's on sale when we can get double coupons! This second Old Spice coupon, though, isn't nearly as useful. It's for getting a free body scrubber or body sponge (they're calling it a "deck scrubber" so that men can feel masculine when they use it) when you buy three (3) Old Spice deodorant coupon APDO or old Spice body washes. Personally, I don't see this as being the greatest coupon ever, but, if it works for you, it's yours!

Brian Jungen's Totemic Recycling

Very excited to hear that Brian Jungen's exhibition, 'Strange Comfort' opens at the National Museum of the American Indian on October 16. "This major survey of Brian Jungen (Dunne-za First Nations/Swiss/Canadian) transforms the familiar and banal into exquisite objects that reference themes of globalization, pop culture, museums, and the commodification of Indian imagery. Jungen first came to prominence with Prototypes for New Understandings 1998–2005), for which he fashioned Nike footwear into masks that suggested Northwest Coast iconography." My favorites, though, are the recycled, woven sports jerseys pictured at top.

Get the Look of the Emmys – for Less

It's always fun to watch the red carpet arrivals for events like the Emmys. This year was no exception, with some beautiful starlets dazzling in gorgeous gowns and delectable diamonds. But what a lot of women may not realize that the jewelry styles you see on your favorite silver screen actress are readily available in the form of CZ jewelry. In fact, many retailers create celeb inspired CZ jewelry that is a near replica of what you saw on TV. Here's what was hot this year:
Chandelier earrings – Starlets like Leighton Meester, Heidi Klum and Mila Kunis complimented their dresses with drops that were quite noteworthy, albeit quite pricy as well. However, you can achieve the same wow factor with cubic zirconia jewelry accented with colorful crystals and set in gold or silver tone.

Giant gems – The ever awe-inspiring Drew Barrymore hit a fashion high note in a gorgeous blush colored floor length gown. She sported megawatt shine with several carats in each ear. To get this look, simply try cubic zirconia jewelry with statement stones. The clarity and resilience of cz jewelry is unparalleled, even to diamonds.

Cuff bracelets – Beauties Kate Walsh and January Jones paired fabulous cuffs with very different looks. The former Grey's Anatomy star accented a Grecian cut with a thick cuff, while the Mad Men actress added simple sparkle to a gown with a geometric neckline. Both of these ladies were fashion winners in our book, as they let the cut of the dress be the center of attention, and chose to keep the accessories simple and understated. To imitate their style, check out cubic zirconia jewelry with smaller stones set closely together. Cubic zirconia is also great for adding some glam to a tried and true ensemble which requires an extra boost.

A Way Beyond Fashion

Flora Project by Carla Fernández

Finishing up writing assignments and then I am off to Tribeca to see A Way Beyond Fashion at apexart. I hope to report back on Carla Fernández and her 'Square Clothes for Rounded-Minded People' installation. I love her Flora Project - 'a mobile workshop/fashion-laboratory that travels Mexico visiting indigenous
 communities, especially women’s cooperatives and creators of handmade textiles. Flora
 has developed a unique pedagogy where participants in their workshops
 can communicate through design even in those places where only indigenous
 dialects are used.'

Stay tuned. In the interim, here are more Flora workshop photos.

We have some Pantene printable coupons for you today. These expire at the end of September so you might want to hurry up and try to use them if your local store will allow it!

Frugal and Fabulous Jewelry for fall

Being fashionable doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to spend a lot to do so. In fact, some of the biggest trend setters in Hollywood – like Kate Moss and Sarah Jessica Parker – like to mix and match high end and low end pieces to create unique looks that are coveted by many. They’ll take a designer skirt and pair it with a thrift store tee. Now, you can take a cue from these savvy shoppers as you try out the latest gemstones for fall – in the form of CZ jewelry, sterling silver jewelry and jewelry sets.
CZ jewelry is a great way for any fashionista on a budget to get in on what’s hot. Cubic Zirconia jewelry so closely rivals the real thing, that it’s hard to tell the difference anymore between what’s real and what’s fake. If you’ve seen a celeb jewelry style that you adore, it’s pretty likely that you’ll be able to find a replica of it in the form of cubic zirconia jewelry. It’s leading lady fashion for just a fraction of the cost.

Sterling silver jewelry works well for any season, but it’s especially popular this year. Go for bold pieces like wide cuff bracelets and chunky chains that work well with heavier fabrics. Sterling silver jewelry is affordable to own, makes a great gift and will work for many seasons to come. Many women have sterling silver jewelry that is engraved. Functional and fashionable, sterling silver jewelry is a must-have accessory staple.

Jewelry sets are a fabulous find this fall. From casual cool to dress up chic, jewelry sets help you to create a pulled together look that is perfectly polished. Most often, you’ll find that jewelry sets some with bracelets and pair of earrings, which is great because you always have the option to wear one or the other. Plus, you can mix and match with other pieces in your jewelry box for even more possibilities.

Printable Tide Detergent Coupons

The first coupons we have is for $1.50 off on any 2 any size Tide Stain Release coupons. This is available in Duo Pac, Liquid and Powder. To me, this is just another gimmick stain removal product so I won't be using this printable Tide detergent coupon for anything but showing you!

Printable Tide Coupon

Next up are a bunch more printable Tide coupons! First up is the save $1 on any one any size Tide. Tide will cost you a good $12, so $1 is necessary and better if doubled.

And, on the bottom there is the printable tide printable coupon for Tide To Go coupon. Again, as I said, I'm not too into these gimmicky products, but I think they're only about $4 so if Tide's giving us a $1 coupon and you're the type to have a lot of spills or kids that spill then this might be for you!

Different types of Cocktail Rings

Sure, you've probably seen a ring or two that you love on the finger of a celeb. And you've probably lusted after a huge rock in the window of a jewelry store. While most of us can’t afford to run right out and drop a pretty penny on these styles, it doesn't mean that we can't still get the same look with cubic zirconia rings that pack all the punch as the real thing – but come with a discounted price tag.

Cubic zirconia statement rings – This style is increasingly popular this year. It includes CZ rings with oversize center stones, as well as CZ rings with a design that uses many stones to create a "wow!" factor.

Animal inspired CZ rings – If you want to add a little fun fierce fashion to your wardrobe, animal inspired cubic zirconia rings are the way to go. Choose from bejeweled insects to ocean animals to jungle creatures. Or, go for a design that uses tiger, zebra or cheetah stripes in the form of a CZ ring. These are great for adding interest to any outfit – from jeans and a t-shirt to an all black ensemble.

Rock and roll inspired CZ rings – This year, dark stones, spiked rings and studded designs are favored both on and off stage. If you want to try this trend, cubic zirconia rings are a great option, as they let you infuse just the right amount of edge into your outfit.

Cut out rings – If you want to try something a little different, opt for classic shapes, but choose from cutout cubic zirconia rings with hearts, stars, or horseshoes. These pieces are fun for younger women but also work for middle aged fashionistas who are young at heart.

Whatever your taste or preference, you can be sure that you can find what you're looking for in the form of cubic zirconia rings. These pieces are fashion-friendly and budget conscious.

How To 'Colonize' London Fashion Week

The last time that I met with designer Ada Zanditon she asked me if I could keep a secret about her current fascination with bees, their nest colonies, and the eye-opening book, A World Without Bees.


Little did I know that she has these amazing designs and prints in the works. So genius, Ada Zanditon's Spring/Summer 2010 Collection - COLONY - which showed last Friday night at London Fashion Week.


I am sad that I missed Ada's show at Vauxhall, but I am happy to know that designers like her are thinking long and hard about the common characteristics and environmental issues that have resonance for us, both on and off the runway. Ada Zanditon is more than one to watch, she is one to feel truly hopeful about.
