Don't get scared, guys! I'm not featuring someone who sells tattoos online or anything crazy like that, but I definitely understand if the idea of "tats" that aren't permanent makes you draw a blank. The same thing happened to me ...
I had my first taste of "warm" this week, as temperatures rose and sat at around 80 all day on Tuesday and Wednesday... After my cathartic first Chicago winter, it was an absolutely welcome sight. And feeling. And... well, how ...
This edition of ECIG is a little short because, well, this particular seller doesn't have a ton of items in her store at the moment... But two of her pieces were so wearable and adorable - I just had to ...
I received an email from a reader, and discovered that I have readers who go to prom!! How exciting. I didn't get a chance to attend my high school's prom, because I was enrolled in a program called "Running Start" ...
It's no secret that corporate companies are eager to hop on the Captain Planet bandwagon, but it is exciting each time a big box company takes the leap. This time, it's Payless ShoeSource with their new capsule collection from Zoe ...
Raise your hand if you're getting a little tired of "reusable bags" being thrust in your face for the last year. Pretty much everyone, right? Me, too. At the same time, though, I'm really in to the idea of buying ...
Sometimes the internet is a wonderful thing. Without it, I never would have stumbled across Betty Belts, by designer Donna van Hoesslin. These belts are not only perfect for Earth Week, but they're pretty much perfect in every sense of ...
As we all know, finding an organic-fabric clothing line that offers something above and beyond blank, basic garments is a little less than impossible. I only say "a little less" because I've been able to discover a handful, Salt's Organic ...
What is this? Go on, tell me. Did you say ring? Bracelet? Napkin ring? Well, it's not a ring, much less a napkin ring, but instead a FUMI purse hook. Remember those? They burst on to the scene a few ...
This is an edition of ECIG that is near and dear to my heart. If you read Awakened Aesthetic or Clutch 22, you'll likely have seen the name SPUN before. A Seattle-based woman created Spun - a sustainable, organic clothing ...
After the ColorPlay: Orange and Black and White post last week, I got a lot of responses similar to this: "OMG ORANGE?! So bright and so scary, scary!" Well, not exactly like that, but the fear was definitely apparent. So ...
This week's edition of ECIG is special for two reasons. 1. It's the first new ECIG since I spaced out and messed up last week's. (Special!) 2. It's an interview! I came across Janean Johnson's collection of one-of-a-kind pieces on ...
Have you seen little Jane of Sea of Shoes donning a big, floppy-brimmed hat lately? Well, she has and it's... kind of cute, I think. I'm still processing it. And the title? I don't know what the exact name of ...
Photo by RedupReda I thought ColorPlay should start having some photo inspiration... Color is one of the fiercest points of photographs; the absence of it, the over-saturation, the sepia tones, the combinations... They all play an emotional part in photographs, ...
From English Lit. grad to super-designer, Gina Michele is well on her way to being well-known, world-'round. She started by chopping up fabric for her Barbie's clothes, and now spends time dabbling in eco-friendly fabrics, feminine sheaths and deliciously draping ...
I'm aware that spring is coming and the time is now for flirty florals and peaches and all that crap... But I have an emergency on my hands: My LBD is totally gross. It honestly might as well be covered ...
Ohhh, the B&B Awful Title department is celebrating this one with bottles of champagne and caviar. If you haven't heard, little Miss Fergie (aka Stacey Ferguson de la Black Eyed Peas) has launched a line of footwear with Brown Shoe. ...
Every (-ish) Monday, I've been featuring independent clothing from designers everywhere. Laura Dawson, Erika Hendrix and M641 being some of my favorites. However, when sitting down at my computer this morning (as it precariously teeters on two ancient collapsable TV ...
You're taught in elementary school about "the color wheel", including information on complimentary colors, mixing colors and, of course, clashing colors - colors that don't mesh. This, my friends, is what keeps people in red + blue, green + yellow, ...
While packing up all my belongings and getting ready to move to Chicago, I deleted six purses from my life. Six. That is three times my current collection. (Can you do the math? I confused myself, too, don't worry.) Let's ...
