Going Green

I'm never the girl with the It bag, or the It shoe, but apparently I'm the girl with the It nail polish. Over the past couple days I've been borderline assaulted with amazed gasps accompanied by some version of the question, "Is that the Chanel polish?" This has happened countless times (two). Luckily, it is not the runway-famous Chanel polish, because that would mean I'd paid a ridiculous sum for green nail polish on eBay. It's sold out, see. This is the must-have in question:



An apparently good approximation, for those interested in such things: Ko's Liberty shade. The polish is too thick and is ultra matte (gross...I added a topcoat because I'm just not edgy enough), but hey, it'll get you pistachio green fingernails. Which is fashionable! Check me out:



You're welcome!

Olsen Haus Energy Heel

($198, Olsen Haus, Nimli.com)

I recently became aware of Olsen Haus' amazing line of vegan shoes. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE a steak fajita, but I can't argue with the fact that these are eco-, animal-, and earth-friendly AND so stylish that they're completely blowing my mind. Can you even deal with how hot the combo of fluorescent green and linen is? Appropriately, this open-toe, stiletto Mary Jane is called "Energy."

AND, you can get 20% off at Nimli.com with promo code SPRING09!

Appropriately, I could SO see Keri Hilson wearing these... AND she has a song called "Energy." I love a coincidence!

I Am Not a Trend Whore

Well, sometimes I am. But not today! Today, the Anya Hindmarch bags are on sale at Whole Foods. And today, I bought six reusable Baggu nylon grocery bags...



...three of which I can distribute to my boyfriend, and three of which I can carry around myself in their little pouches, should the urge to food-shop strike, as it so often does. You could even use them for clothes shopping, instead of accepting a big ol' shopping bag complete with tissue paper and whatnot. And now I feel good about my pro-environment decision. Also, the bags are way cute and come in lots of different colors! And you don't have to have the same trendy bag everyone else is carrying.



No, thank YOU, Baggu!
