Newbies

Alright… Hatchfest put us all behind but here’s what should be coming out of the attic for all you sunny Asheville shoppers!

ADA Belts – These leather belts are selling like eggs on easter. $60 Obi style belts in black, yellow, olive, brown, and fuschia… get one! Or two!

Verdier – Our favorite jewelry designer. Not only is she the sweetest but she works with vintage materials and most of her work is super limited. This shipment had Juniper and I tugging at either end of one stunning necklace trying to prove who saw it first! Well maybe not quite so dramatic but you get the picture.

Feathered head bands for $36 dollars. I want to wear one every day. The easiest way to make on outfit pop or to fix a bad hair day.

Summer scarves in a multitude of colors, patterns, and textures. All around $20 you can’t go wrong grabbing a few for every occasion.

Melie Bianco – Best selling bag line can hardly describe how quickly these guys sell! We received a stunning teal tote (bellow $86) and two stunning clutches($55).

M.Bianco

Blank Denim! Three amazing styles arrived today, and for $71 I bet these babies won’t make it through the weekend.

Banana Split Cropped is a perfect match for the beautiful weather we’re having. They have a slight acid wash to them (don’t fret it looks more like a nice worn pair of jeans than your pair in the 80s)

If you’re feeling a bit tougher, you’ve got to get Blank’s studded skinnies! And last but not least, minxies, how do we feel about elastic waists? Well the Back to Black skinnies will rock your world. I know that some of you gals are always seeking a pair of jeans with a shorter inseam. If this is you than definitely try these on. These hit me just above the ankle.

a few good things

I had a pretty productive weekend getting ready for SOS, and I still managed to be pretty social too

Going Back To PA

Part of me has this overwhelming desire to go back to Pennsylvania today. Kmart was great, but it took up so much of my time, I pretty much didn’t get a chance to see anyone or anything besides Beth and Kmart. Plus, I didn’t have my mom’s coupons, and I could have done so much damage with those.

But I really want to go back for Wegmans.

Today, April 25, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., if you bring a plastic bag filled with plastic bags, you’ll get a free reusable tote
.

There are also going to be stations around the store, giving out samples and teaching you about green options. There are usually samples anyway at Wegmans, and the man who gives them out at my Wegmans in Pennsylvania is just the sweetest ever.

I might have to go back for that.

Moms: Earth Day’s Earliest Advocates – And Mothers Didn’t Even Know It!

Moms have always encouraged us to behave in ways that protect Mother Earth, whether they were conscious of it or not, and Earth Day 2009 is a great time day to reflect a moment on this. Consider if you will these momisms:

Wear a vegetable name badge holder to work so you remember to go green!

Eat Your Vegetables! – Moms have been trying to get us to go green since the beginning of (my) time. Even Thumper in the movie Bambi (1942) quotes his mother. “”Eating greens is a special treat, It makes long ears and great big feet. But it sure is awful stuff to eat.” I made that last part up myself.” I shop locally at the Farmer’s Market here in Livermore, CA, for my greens and fruits the year round. I eat them, too. And ended up with big feet. ;-)

Turn Off The Lights! – What household doesn’t ring with the echo of this familiar refrain of moms trying to save money? Turns out it also helps save the world. I tell my own kids that someday they will be sorry they wasted that energy. I can see their little minds calculating the veracity of such statements.

No TV Until You Finish Your Homework! – Yes, distract yourself with activities that don’t require the use of electricity. Maybe that’s not quite what mom meant, but hey, its good for the environment. Play outside! Hide in the dark! Anything to put off getting that homework done until the last minute. By the time you get it done, it’s past your bedtime and there is no need to fire up that big energy-sucking tube.

Hang your backpack on the side of your desk with this Television purse hook and think about your favorite TV show.

Hurry Up Or You’ll Be Walking To School! – Walking is great for kids. Perhaps they really do want to get that exercise. And maybe it isn’t just that Mom doesn’t want to be late for work. Really she’s trying to get you to burn less fossil fuel. And adding that heavy backpack is the best way to build muscle. Isn’t that what they do it the military during practice exercises? “It’s good for you!” Just want all kids want to hear.
