Given that Earth Day was yesterday, we figured it would be appropriate to browse some “green” products. Even though more and more brands are popping up with organic and non-toxic lines, it’s safe to say that natural fabrics haven’t quite yet hit the mainstream and aren’t universally available.

A girl’s gotta get dolled up sometimes. When most of my days are spent in jeans, tees and other casual gear, getting cleaned up and pretty for a night out never seems to get dull.
Sadly, I haven’t had more than a couple of occasions to get glammed up for in what seems like ages, but it can’t hurt to have a well-equipped closet (just in case the opportunity arises).

Every summer I go on a hunt for a couple of great strapless dresses, they’re comfy, stylish and are perfect holiday companions.
Last year, H&M had a decent selection, but after hearing lots of great things about American Apparels tube dresses I decided to finally check them out for myself (and I have to admit I’m glad I did).

Sooo I love spring just as much as anyone, but it’s not just for the sunshine and the flowers. I use it to shop for some of my winter-wear for when the chilly weather comes around again.

The lights have dimmed, the trumpets begin to play and the red velvet curtains get ready to part as spring’s travelling troup of circus performers tumble out of an oversized magician’s hat. Adorning all from pierrots to ballerinas, underpinning the dizzy heights of fashion’s stage is the staple of all performers - the humble leotard.

With the impending onset of summer (ha!) comes the inevitable announcement of those annual summer trends that will never go away (nautical stripes or ethnic prints anyone?). Lets take the ever-present ’safari’ trend - predictable and a little bit tired if you go down the old khaki jacket route; far more exciting if you take a walk on the wild side with all those beauties of the animal kingdom.

I’m sure you’ve seen the African prints on the runways for SS’08, you only have to look to Christopher Kane and Donna Karen to see where the look of the season is going, and now H&M have launched a new ethnic-inspired collection to make it just a little easier for us.

Young celebs have been spotted around town baring their backs in cut out or back-strap frocks recently. Something about the allusion to undergarments makes the look daring and very sexy.
If you’re ready to give this trend a try and aren’t afraid to show a little skin, then this Black Halo Cut-Out Back Shift Dress – recently donned by The Hills star, Audrina Patridge – would be a fabulous option for you.

I basically live in tank tops in the summer. Because of this, I have to replenish my supply every year (I tend to wear them down pretty good and then they enter my gym wear rotation).
My go-to places for affordable basic solid tanks where I can grab a few in different colours without having to spend too much and that I can just throw on and layer are Urban Outfitters and Target.
