From the Ground: What I wore

What do you wear to an eco-friendly fashion show?

Why vegan leather, glasses, and a beanie of course!

Hat:  Forever 21 (similar)
Glasses:  Coach  (similar in black)
Scarf:  Storiarts
Jacket:  Buffalo (similar)
Tee:  Max Studio (TJ Maxx)
Pants:  GAP
Bag:  Kate Spade
Booties:  Target

Actual conversation with my husband during our "photoshoot" (I use the term loosely).

Him:  "You're wearing LEATHER to the GREENTOPIA fashion show?  Someone is going to throw paint on you!"

Me:  "It's pleather."

Him:  "THEY don't know that!"

And that, ladies and gentleman, is one of the many reasons why he is awesome.

I later learned that the cool way to say pleather is "vegan leather."  How chic.  How green.  How devoid of any negative connotations established in the late 80s and early 90s...

PS- Those Target booties are "vegan suede."  Can't say the same for that Kate Spade bag though...

Happy Friday!

Geek is the New Chic

Some of you may not know this, but - I wear glasses.  (Not all the time, just when I want to see stuff far away - like movies...or road signs).

Or Broadway Shows, which is what I'm doing in this photo.

I do love my Christian Dior frames (pictured above), but I'm getting a little bored with them.  I feel myself craving an even nerdier, cool artsy-girl-at-the-coffee-shop pair.

Like these babies spotted on Hilary Rushford.  Or these on Kimberly from Penny Pincher Fashion.

For a while there, every blogger and their mother was writing about Firmoo.  Apparently their glasses are FREE (or at least your first pair are free).  I'm suspicious... Anyone use them before?  Because, they have some really cute frames:

Then there is BonLook, also big on the blogger circuit (a little more pricey), but I think I like their frame selection is better:

Ah so many options - how does a girl decide?  Where do you get your frames?  Online?  Local retailer? Right at your optometrist?  Would love to know!  I need a frame-over!  ;)  Time to unleash my inner geek!

Hope you're having a great weekend kiddos!
